Testimonials
“As a physical therapist who treats a wide variety of people with sports medicine-related injuries, Kate is who I most trust for acupuncture treatment due to her vast well of knowledge and professionalism. She is very intuitive with her evaluation and an active listener, changing or adjusting the treatment as an injury evolves and recovers. Whether dealing with an acute flare-up or a more recalcitrant injury, Kate can progress patients through even very challenging situations.”
“I sought acupuncture as treatment for overworked muscles (I’m a Master’s level swimmer) and overall stress, and Kate has been magical. Her awareness of anatomy and physiology, along with being a keen listener, really informs her practice. Every visit, aside from the treatment itself, I feel cared for. And I swear, every time I leave, I feel at least an inch taller! Visits with Kate provide a moment to stop and practice self-care in the midst of busy days.”
“I want to highly recommend Kate Chilson. The acupuncture I’ve been receiving from her has been amazing. She completely resolved my plantar fasciitis and continues to provide me with tremendous relief from a host of other muscular aches and injuries acquired over the years. Her soft-spoken manner and kind demeanor always puts me at ease and her technical ability is unmatched. I always feel great after a session with her.”
“After tearing my rotator cuff in a skiing fall I was desperate to get back to my normal mobility so I could resume tennis, weight lifting, etc. I went to several sessions with Kate, in addition to PT and massage therapy, and am happy to report I’m back in action! Kate was able to pin point the exact areas that were tender and helped induce healing from within. After each session I had better mobility and less pain. The best part of acupuncture is the nap that accompanies the treatment….every time! Kate said that meant my body was doing what it was supposed to.”
“I am a lifelong runner but unfortunately, my mechanics were destroying my legs (and happiness!). After years of chronic hamstring pain, it came to the point that I could no longer run. A combination of gait alterations, PT, and a lot of PHENOMENAL acupuncture have me running pain-free and faster than I did in high school. I was a hurting organism and now I’m crushing trail runs like I’m 19 again. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to demonstrate sufficient gratitude for this turnaround. Now, as I train for trail adventures in the USA and Canada, or tweak something in my home gym, an acupuncture session by Kate will get me back to trail time faster than any other intervention I’ve tried in the past.”
“Acupuncture with Kate Chilson has truly enhanced my quality of life in so many ways. I have been seeing her for many years now, and her treatment has been particularly helpful in managing my migraines, the “hallux rigidus” arthritis in my toes, and periodic stress and anxiety. I have worked with acupuncturists in the past, but never with the results I see every time with Kate’s particular skill set and her caring, intelligent, responsive bedside manner.”
“Acupuncture was a challenge for me because I never liked needles but Kate Chilson has done an amazing job making the treatment as gentle as possible and using other instruments and techniques like cupping and pin and stretch in her treatment of my tennis elbow. She goes above and beyond in caring for her patients and always finds ways to add to the core treatment to relieve pain in other areas, reduce stress and increase quality of sleep. I always feel better and more relaxed when I leave than when I came! ”

“Kate Chilson is the absolute best! I was introduced to her as a service provider 7 years ago and she has been working on my body consistently since then. I call her the body mechanic! I have been able to overcome residual effects from a concussion and herniated disk. I use my body a lot for the work I do, Kate has made my days seamless. I am able to do what I do because of her treatments on my body. Acupuncture with Kate has been a true life saver!! I have gained a tremendous amount of mindfulness, I feel so centered when I leave a treatment. Thank you Kate for all you do in healing others!”
