What patients said about James

Okanagan Acupuncture is amazing! James has helped me with a few sports injuries and some chronic shoulder issues. James and the entire team are friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to your care.

I happened upon James, Jenn & the gang last year. I was suffering from extreme elbow tendonitis that no one else could cure. I had tried shockwave therapy, IMS, cortisone, physio nothing worked, I really thought my days of playing golf pain free were over. James blend of IMS & Tens machine was exactly what I needed, James is very intuitive and knew exactly where to probe and place the needles. I am now seeing them for a hip flexor issue, and feel the difference after just one session. Jenn is the best, I just need to email the office and I have a reply within hours. They always figure out a way to fit me into their busy schedule. If you're in pain, don't give up! Give Okanagan Acupuncture a call, they may be just what you need. My first round of golf this year and my elbow pain is reduced by 90%. A big Thank You to James & crew for helping me on my way to finally recovering.

Does Acupuncture work? Here's my story...Close to 2 years ago I had the miserable experience of Sciatic pain down my left side. For those who have experienced this or are going through it right now know about the pain and the sleepless nights. I tried everything from rolling that tennis ball, Stretching, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy and Physio Therapy which helped some...Then an acquaintance suggested OKANAGAN ACUPUNCTURE. Best thing I ever did for myself! Well long story short after my first appointment at OKANAGAN ACUPUNCTURE I felt relief. To top it off I slept through the whole night for the first time in months pain free and still do. Now just like any type of therapy subsequent appointments are necessary to feel the benefits of Acupuncture. I still go about every 6 weeks to stay on top of it. James Kaufman over the last year and a half has treated me as well for headaches, shoulder pain etc with great results.. I would highly recommend OKANAGAN ACUPUNCTURE... Ron Hartwig

I can't say enough about this place. James is a true healer. I am constantly amazed at his ability to intuitively know and find the source of a pain and fix it. I have no idea how he does it but I would recommend anyone with any problem to give it a try. Plus on top of that the big friendly smiles of Christie and Jenn at the front desk and the caring touch of Chris too! The energy and vibrations are perfection!

Life changer. I experienced debilitating headaches for months with no ease from other procedures or medications. James helped calm my neck and back muscles, so I can move forward with my life again. Not to mention, Jen and Chris are beyond friendly and helpful. Thank you!

I've been seeing James at Okanagan Acupuncture, on and off, for almost 2 years now. I originally started with him due to my debilitating headaches. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explains everything very thoroughly. Acupuncture with James has been, hands down, the best treatment for my headache pain. I continue to see him for maintenance, plus for any other aches and ailments that come up. I'm so glad I made the decision to try acupuncture with James. And as it turns out, my husband and mother have since gone to him too! If you are thinking about trying out acupuncture, I would encourage you to see James at Okanagan Acupuncture! It might just be the best decision you've made for your health and wellness.

James, Jen and the entire crew here are the best! I've had varying issues - knee, ankle, upper and lower back - and James manages to find the EXACT point of pain or discomfort and the treatment that follows always makes a huge positive impact on the area affected. They are my first stop anytime I have any pain. Thanks guys & keep up the great work!
