SLC Qi Community Acupuncture — Attraction in Salt Lake City

Ok so, I've been a long time proponent of acupuncture and have visited SLC Qi Community Acupuncture a handful of times for some sports injuries with positive results, with both Matt and Michael. However, my recent experience has absolutely blown my mind about the benefits!

In December I had a lithotripsy procedure to remove a kidney stone, and have dealt with some moderate kidney pain and stiffness during the recovery from the surgery. It dawned on me that acupuncture may help with this. I walked in to the clinic with pain at about a level 5 and walked out at a 1-2: the relief was instant, and lasting. I saw Michael and he did a combination of cupping and acupuncture. After another day or so, my pain was gone. I decided to follow up for another treatment two weeks later as I started to feel a little bit of stiffness in the area after increasing my gym workouts and activity- etc. This time I saw Matt and again, instant relief!

Both providers are attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. I also really enjoy the "community" style setting, and I think this is particularly great for somebody who maybe does not have experience with acupuncture, or who may be nervous about trying it. It's in a large, cozy common area, and the provider is always nearby so that if you need anything you can signal. (As opposed to a more "clinical" setting that I have had in the past where you are in an exam room and the provider leaves while you rest). In my opinion, the community setting feels more homey and relaxing, and also helps to keep the treatments affordable so that more people can reap the benefits.

Anyway, all that is to say- this place is a gem and definitely deserves all the wonderful Google...

I’ve had an amazing experience at Qi with Megan. My primary care physician suggested I try acupuncture and it’s been so helpful. I was nervous the first time (I don’t like needles, but who really does?) and everyone made me feel so calm and comfortable. The whole atmosphere is soothing and as soon as Megan got me set up I felt so good that I fell asleep! I started going once or twice a week and have been going regularly for a few months now and wanted to share some of my results: -The most amazing thing it’s done for me is give me more energy. I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and I’ve noticed huge improvements in my pain levels and the amount of energy I have. I’ve been able to get back to the gym and start living my life how I want to, including traveling and dealing with the summer heat without getting sick. -My periods had been pretty messed up and I’d only get them every once in a while and bleed really badly for two weeks at a time. Megan has gotten me to a 28 day cycle with five days of bleeding. -I’ve felt so much better since starting that I’ve taken my sister and mom to start getting treated as well and they’ve both had wonderful experiences. It’s wonderful to have a medical professional who will listen to you, believe you, and work to treat you in a holistic way. I am so grateful for Qi and...

I have absolutely loved my experience here but especially with Matt. He is absolutely amazing. Going to him even though it has been a short time has really healed aches and pains I have had for years. I was very skeptical. I did not even want to go, my wife made me go. I thought she was trying to kill me but am so glad she made me go because it has been amazing. My last appointment Matt did this thing called "Cupping" And it was tremendous. But the most amazing thing that has happened and is the reason I am writing this review is because i had had Plantar Fasciitis for years, I have been in constant pain, even after several shots and foot Doctor appointments. But 4 treatments with acupuncture and I am pain free. Absolutely incredible. Now I am going to say something that is going to make you say "oh Brother" but I am going to say it anyway. These treatments are incredibly relaxing and peaceful. I am not a touchy feely guy but to me these treatments have been healing to my soul. I have felt more peaceful and grounded than I have maybe ever in my life. If you are reading this and think this is a bunch of witch doctor voodoo stuff like I did.....Do yourself a favor and give it a try. It might change your life like it did mine. Thank you Matt and SLC QI...
