We are proud of our 5-star reviews!
These ladies are magical!
We see them as often as we can to get a regular tune-up! This last time was critical as I fell off a 4 foot ladder and landed flat on my lower back! Ouch! Berry squeezed us in and treated me. What relief! She sent me home with medicinal herbs to help heal from within. Acupuncture Medical Center should be part of everyone’s health care regime!

I always feel better after the treatment
I look forward to my visits to Acupuncture Medical Center. I always feel better after the treatment. At my last appointment, I came in with a headache. After the treatment, my headache went away and I had amazing energy. I truly appreciate the care Berry and her staff have for all of their clients. I recommend Acupuncture Medical Center to everyone I know.

Always attentive to my individual situation
I have had a wonderful experience at Acupuncture Medical Center over the past few months. From the first appointment I had a positive response both mentally and physically. Everyone at the practice is kind and helpful. Berry is very skilled and professional, and always attentive to my individual situation. I would recommend acupuncture to everyone, especially at this practice.

Excellent results
I recommend trying acupuncture if you’ve had unresolved issues. Everyone is kind, thoughtful and professional. I’d go back for tune-ups at least twice a year. I wish it were covered by insurance though.

We see acupuncture as preventative medicine for taking care of ourselves
My husband and I are going to Berry for grief therapy to help with the sudden loss of our son. Berry and her staff are kind and caring. We see acupuncture as preventative medicine for taking care of ourselves long term, but also current treatment for the shock and trauma of a sudden loss. Berry takes the time to listen to how we are feeling. The office is peaceful, serene, and spotless. We look forward to seeing her each week. She also has treated both of us for injuries, shoulder and plantar fasciitis and the results are positive. We are so grateful to have found this peaceful haven.

Their staff are so kind and pleasant, I always look forward to my visit. The numbness in my legs is noticeably less, and I can walk better. It is such a pleasant office and the treatments are working. I highly recommend them.

Berry and her team make me feel safe and well taken care of
Words cannot express how much acupuncture has done for me the last several years. From chronic digestive issues, low energy, anxiety and grief from loss of loved ones – Berry and her team make me feel safe and well taken care of.

I decided to try acupuncture and I am glad I did
The medical facility is beautiful and welcoming. The care coordinators, Kayla and Deborah, are kind, warm, and cheerful. They are just the best. Berry is very professional and truly cares about your well-being. I had unsuccessful carpel tunnel release surgery ending in immobility of fingers and sharp pain in a finger and thumb. I saw a physical therapist for a while which helped some. Before undergoing a more radical surgery, I decided to try acupuncture and I am glad I did. I continue to experience good results with my treatment. Thank you, Dream Team.

Began to feel remarkable improvements
After living with acute Periformis Syndrome for over two years and trying other avenues, I decided to try acupuncture. After my ninth visit I began to feel remarkable improvements, and look forward to the next two months for this to continue. Berry is very knowledgeable with your specific needs and truly cares for her patients. I am truly thankful I chose Berry and her caring staff. People living with health issues listed on this website should definitely call for a consultation.

So happy to have found this place
I love this place. I have struggled with insomnia for most of my life and have tried everything and nothing helped. But in only a few weeks of acupuncture here I can already feel a huge difference. It has been such a relief. The initial intake was so thorough and you can tell they genuinely care about helping you find a solution. Everyone here is so warm and welcoming and I am just so happy to have found this place – I can’t wait to continue to see great results with my treatments!

Peripheral neuropathy in my feet shows significant improvement
I am progressing with my treatments at Acupuncture Medical Center. The results of my Progress Report for my peripheral neuropathy in my feet shows significant improvement. Ms. Berry and Ms. Amara have over 25 years of combined experience and they offer state-of-the-art acupuncture techniques and innovative medical solutions for chronic pain, and other health conditions. Their Patient Care Coordinators, Debra and Kayla, are absolutely the best!

91 year old father consulted with the acupuncture team
My 91 year old father consulted with the acupuncture team on the recommendation of his orthopedist. He was experiencing severe back pain that went down his legs and was hesitant to try injections in his back. At his first visit, Berry explained the treatment plan and what he could expect as far as relief of his symptoms. He has had a major decrease in his pain level. This has improved his mobility and greatly increased his quality of life. The entire staff is friendly and caring. He feels this office is the most professional and efficient one he has ever been too and he would highly recommend this practice.

Knowledgable, professional, and personable
I came in desperate with terrible back spasms needing help getting in and out of a car. After a few sessions, the pain lessened, and I was back to driving myself around the Burg. Knowledgable, professional, and personable. It worked for me — thanks so much.

Warm and caring facility
This is a very warm and caring facility that provides wonderful service to their patients. Amara is fantastic when it comes to honing in on the issue and making adjustments to your treatment as needed. The team always makes you feel welcome which, I feel, is a big part of what makes a practice successful. Thank you so much!!

Getting consistent pain relief
I developed sciatic after having knee replacement and have suffered for months. I have taken medicine and done exercises but nothing helped. A friend referred me to the Acupuncture Medical Center. I’ve never had acupuncture and was a bit apprehensive. However what a wonderful experience it has been. I am finally getting consistent pain relief and able to do activities that I haven’t been able to do for months. Thanks to this kind, professional team of ladies who truly care about your health.

Highly suggest before invasive treatment
Kayla is great with scheduling and prep. Amara is a pro at her craft! Acupuncture has been a key part of my back maintenance given I have a herniated and bulging disc. It is a great alternative to dry needling and injections which did not provide a long term fix for my back. I highly suggest getting on Amara’s schedule before trying more invasive treatment or surgery.

Acupuncture works!
After decades of suffering with allergies, sinus headaches, migraines, dizziness and general fatigue, I made the decision to commit to an acupuncture program. It undoubtedly has been the best decision ever. All of my symptoms have dramatically decreased in just a few short weeks.
Acupuncturist Berry Franko and the friendly, capable staff at Acupuncture Medical Center have helped me return to the lifestyle that I enjoy – walking the dog, gardening and participating professionally in equine activities as I’ve done for 40+ years. I ride regularly, train horses and teach riding lessons. Berry is passionate about her work and celebrates each step of progress you make, no matter how large or small.
It’s a wonderful process to feel your body healing itself with the help of acupuncture. Take time to call the Acupuncture Medical Center and see the results for yourself.

After several months of treatments, I feel like a different person
I owe my sanity to Amara at Acupuncture Medical Center. If you suffer from any kind of menstrual related disorder like I did, Amara can help you. Her acupuncture treatments in combination with Chinese herbs, small lifestyle changes and martial arts practices have saved my life.
I suffered severe mood swings, depressive episodes, anxiety and digestive issues all menstrual imbalance related. An OBGYN had told me my only option was to take medication every day for the rest of my life, and that my PMDD could never be cured, ha!
After several months of treatments, I feel like a different person. My symptoms are simply not the complete disruption to my life that they were, and I feel like I have control of my life and body back. <3

I was in a wheelchair …
For 2 years I have suffered from a chronic pain condition, and when I moved to Virginia in January, I was in a wheelchair, could barely walk, and was disabled at the age of 22. When I met Berry in March I was in braces, using a cane, and didn’t have any quality in living. In 3 months Berry has done more for me and my pain than any of the doctors I have seen over the past two years. After one month, I no longer needed my cane. After two months I didn’t need to wear braces everyday, and now after three months I have been able to sit a do a puzzle for the first time in over a year without being in extreme pain.
After two appointments with Amara I went from eating a few crackers a day to an actual meal, this was the first time in over month I could actually eat again. In all honesty, when I first tried acupuncture I had zero faith in it, because every doctor before this had said they couldn’t help me and I couldn’t imagine how the placement of needles could heal my body, but it is.
Chinese medicine has helped me validate and understand the pain I am experiencing after being belittled and blamed by Western doctors for “my pain not making sense” to them. I live in pain 24/7, but acupuncture has become one of the only places I know no matter what I will leave feeling better than I arrived. After two years my doctors still don’t know what’s wrong with me, however Berry and Amara are changing my life and have allowed me to start living again. Even after my treatment plan ends I will continue to use acupuncture as a resource. It’s not just for chronic pain, its helped with my anxiety, digestion issues, and the list of ailments acupuncture can help with is endless.

Helped me get through a tough patch of life …
After I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, I immediately called Acupuncture Medical Center.
Years ago I’d had success with eczema and other ailments through acupuncture, so I knew a good acupuncturist could help me. I scheduled bi-weekly acupuncture while undergoing chemo, radiation and immunotherapy.
Amara’s treatments consistently help me feel grounded and strong, while minimizing side effects. She provided herbs that were much more effective for nausea than what my oncologist prescribed.
When asked what I’m doing to stay so strong, I credit my treatments at Acupuncture Medical Center. I cannot say enough good things about how much their support has helped me get through a tough patch of life.

They are AMAZING!!
I tore my ACL and meniscus and was in desperate need of acupuncture help. Berry was my practitioner and was extremely knowledgeable on what needed to happened to help my recovery.
Their presence was very peaceful. Every session encouraged an extremely meditative state, along with the healing of my knee. It was incredible.
Berry is extremely grounding, professional, and attentive.

I had a great experience
The staff are very kind, warm, and welcoming. They were also very flexible with my schedule and payment plan.
I feel like I benefited more from the services I received there than from the 3 months of treatment I received through my medical doctor.

5 stars is not enough!!
Berry is awesome! I had a year of insomnia with no relief.
My doctor recommended acupuncture and this place particularly. I felt very welcome and at ease. She literally saved my life. I can’t talk enough about her. She’s great … I highly recommend her and the whole business.

Very professional and knowledgeable!
This was my first time trying acupuncture, and I can’t say enough good things about Berry and her practice.
The pain I was experiencing for two separate issues is now gone, and I found the therapy to be good for my overall mood and well-being.
