After suffering for 20+ years with chronic pain from a back injury and nearly as many years with chronic neck pain following a break and surgery, I went in for a consult appointment with Tera Matsuda. He felt he could help me so we began acupuncture treatments. Today, because I chose to give Tera and his acupuncture expertise a try, my life is greatly improved. I no longer suffer continually with the 24/7 chronic pain that I had grown to accept. Tera is very knowledgeable in what he does, compassionate, caring and truly wants to help those who come to him for help with health problem. I highly recommend letting him help you too.

My life has changed since acupuncture. Back pain is gone, anxiety eased, more confident, at peace, quit using an e-cig and now losing weight! I feel better than I have in years! I've only been practicing Kundalini Yoga for a few months but I already see it making a huge difference in my life! I feel more grounded, at peace & I'm able to handle life stresses with ease. I look forward to Malarie's class every week and leave with my mind, body & spirit renewed. Thank you!

Sharing health problems is difficult but having lymphoma in a stage four basis, I was given the greatest amount of chemo that would kill the body and allow the bone marrow transplant to revive the damage the cancer and chemo had done. I was left with severe problems of no energy even after four years of treatment. I had developed a very painful case of neuropathy in my feet. I have tried many things to get better and won't give up on having good health again and when I found out about acupuncture with Tera Matsuda I was certainly willing to give it a try. With each treatment my neuropathy reduced and now only have about 1% of the pain that I once suffered with. My energy levels sky-rocketed and now I feel like I can once again be somewhat productive and enjoy life!!! Tera was so attentive and concerned about my welfare and even called to find out how I was doing. I have not dealt with anyone more helpful or caring as I have experienced with him. I am grateful I found this helpful treatment and now can enjoy life as we are meant to be.

Tera is so good at listening to what you say is wrong and even figuring out things going on in your body that you don't know are messed up. He has a very calming presence and the needles do not hurt at all. He helped relieve a lot of pain that I have been in. I highly recommend Tera and his herbal medicines.

Went to Tera to help me quit smoking, have been smoker for over thirteen years. Did a weeks treatment for Addiction and know that is what made the difference to help me quit. I also have attended Malarie's Yoga classes. Between Acupuncture and Yoga I have now been smoke free for over 2 1/2 months! Grateful for these two bringing their business to Carbon County. Acupuncture has definitely changed my life for the better!

Thank you so much for helping me get over Chronic Fatigue Syndrome caused by six surgeries in eleven months. The medicos were not able to help me at all with the CSF. Getting the right acupuncture 2x's a week for 8-10 weeks brought me right out of that sordid condition. I will be eternally grateful to you. I wish you all the best in your new practice. <3 Sincerely, Kamerin StClaire

TeacherWondering if Acupuncture works or is for you? Listen to this. My name is Steve Lasslo - most folks in Carbon County just call me Mr. because I have taught second grade in the area for 41 years and am almost a household word around here. I am 62 at the time of this story. My wife and I went to Moab, Utah over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2014 to give Mountain Biking on the Slickrock trails a try. Long story short - I fell onto my shoulder and ended up with a serious deep bruise. I could not reach behind myself to buckle a seatbelt for two weeks, and much of my flexibility was lost. I could not sleep through the night without getting up to take over the counter medications. (LOTS OF THEM - TOO MANY OF THEM IN FACT). After thinking it had to get better since nothing seemed to be broken I tried Acupuncture with Mr. Matsuda. I will admit I was very skeptical, but the thought of spending $1000.00 on an MRI or more on X-rays or CAT SCANS, and being put on loads of narcotics for pain management didn't appeal to me. WOW - What a surprise. After the very first visit I regained nearly full mobility in my injured arm. After a few days I noticed the arm continuing to improve, and with a treatment session once a week for two more weeks I can sleep through the night again and I am back to my old self. I have told my story to perhaps two dozen people and am deciding if I really ever need to go to a conventional doctor again with a bone/bruise injury. Thank you Mr. Matsuda for your training and expertise in this form of healing, and especially for the genuine attention and care you have given me. You are truly a blessing and a welcome alternative to conventional medicine - and yours is a method THAT WORKS! Sincerely yours, Steve Lasslo

Went to Luke for help with sleeping and stress. I have slept 3 days now without waking up and I feel so rested. Before treatment I slept 2-3 hours and was wide awake, feeling tired all day. I have noticed a huge difference and will definitely be going again!' Thank you Luke!!!

I Highly recommend everyone try acupuncture from Tera. I expressed to him that I was afraid of needles, he eased my fears and was gentle and showed me that acupuncture is virtually painless.

"I started seeing Tera December 2014 for various issues all stemming from an autoimmune disorder that I was diagnosed with in January 2003. Rapid improvement began July 2016 when Tera told me about a process he had recently learned that was designed specifically to address autoimmune illnesses. Before starting the process my quarterly blood test, the most current was taken the first part of a May, showed a blood (CK) level 53 points above normal. After one month of treatments, the August test showed the levels had dropped 80 points, well within normal range. And by November they had dropped 41 points more, becoming the best levels since being diagnosed. Not only have the blood tests improved, but I have physically felt the best in years; even levels of energy, a sense of peace and tranquility, and improved sleep. I highly recommend Tera and the modality of acupuncture."
Hello! I just wanted to briefly share with anyone curious about the benefits of acupuncture for pain relief (especially those who may be skeptical to try something outside the norm) how acupuncture has helped my fiance Kirk in his recovery from a severe work-related automobile accident just over a year ago. It has been the ONLY thing that has made a significant impact in his quality of life and it is only just the beginning (he just had his fourth session). We are so excited at the potential for pain relief he will get with continued care. The traditional medicine route was just not working for Kirk; his pain management doctor has tried steroid injections and radio-frequency on the nerves in his back with little success in even short-term relief. He cannot take any pain medications without suffering from SEVERE nausea (and believe me, we have tried them all …from pills to patches). So far the immediate benefits of acupuncture include an intense feeling of calm and relaxation during each session and the pain in his upper body, neck and shoulders has lessened a bit. Most of Kirk’s pain comes from his lower back and dgoes down his right leg, then it with every step he makes while walking it burns from his foot right up to his back again; so it’s a double whammy that has had him using a cane for over a year now. I am very thankful that Worker’s Compensation has agreed to the trial session of 6 treatments and hope they will also allow further sessions if this one continues to provide extended relief. If you are in severe pain that nothing seems to touch I would highly recommend you to come and see Tera Matsuda and experience the wonders of his care in such a beautiful, tranquil setting. All of your senses will be touched…it is amazing!
Has anyone had relief from migraines? My friend has them so bad she has had to quit her job and missing out on life period. She has almost lost all hope. She really needs help.
Yes, please give us a call to talk in detail about this: )
I recently developed some neuropathy in both my upper and lower extremities. I DO NOT wish to take any more medication than I already do. Can you help me?
Tera, i have a friend who caught COVID-19, and now suffers from seizures. I know the Charlotte’s Web CBD has been proven to help with that issue. She is currently taking a medicine for her seizures that really messes her up, and affects the quality of her life. What is your opinion? And do you still sell it at your office?
