I was in a car accident back in Feb of 2007 and as a result, suffered from whiplash and severe stiffness and soreness in my upper back, shoulders, and neck. I tried everything from chiropractic care to physical therapy and although these services were great for temporary relief from my pain, my condition would worsen again once the treatments wore off. Then I starting getting acupuncture treatments with Amelia Hirota at Center of Balance. Amelia was great; she really listened to my situation and gave me specific treatments to target the muscles that were bothering me the most. And when my body didn't respond right away to the treatments, Amelia tried new and innovative treatments and was persistent in helping relieve my pain. In my experience, acupuncture is the most effective solution to muscle tightness and pain and I would reccommend Amelia Hirota as a highly qualified, professional, responsive, and skilled practitioner.\r
