Real stories from people Byron has treated over the years — chronic pain, hot flashes, sports injuries, anxiety, and more.
"Byron Barth at Peace of Zen is a miracle worker! I've suffered from chronic lower back pain and sciatica for over 30 years. Nothing seemed to give me long term relief, including physical therapy and back surgery. In a few months of care at Peace of Zen, I am feeling great. Not only has acupuncture relieved me from lower back issues, but it has truly improved my overall body aches and pains."
"Thank you, Dr. Barth, for helping me to understand the root cause of 'hot flashes' that I have experienced during my peri-menopausal and now menopausal years. With just a few monthly visits to receive Japanese acupuncture treatments and the addition of some Chinese herbs for just a short time, my body has come into balance and for the first time in many years I no longer experience 'hot flashes.'"
"His treatments for my sinus issues due to seasonal allergies has made a big difference in my quality of life. He has also helped me relieve pain from various sports injuries as well as assisting with general stress and digestion related relief. He really sees the whole picture of your health and knows how to get to the root of the matter. Highly recommended!"
"In September 2009 I experienced a significant emotional trauma which, in the course of two years, manifested itself through physical ailments which left me partially paralyzed, in constant pain and with extreme physical limitations. I was forced to use a cane to walk and could only stand for a few minutes at a time. On my first visit to Mr. Barth, he conducted a thorough assessment and identified my core problem. When I left after that visit I was standing erect and walking with little pain. I returned for another six treatments and the results were beyond my wildest expectations. On April 7, 2012 I stood at the Mexican/California border and began a 2,669 mile backpacking trip known as the Pacific Crest Trail. On August 22 I completed the trek arriving in Manning Province, Canada some eighteen weeks after beginning. At NO time during this trek was I plagued with back or leg problems. I attribute my ability to accomplish this feat directly to the treatment that Mr. Barth provided."
"I was in back pain everyday, on a pain scale from 1 to 10, a good day it was a 4, and 2 or 3 days a week it was an 8. After the first treatment, my back pain had become manageable. 3 or 4 months down the road I was feeling like I was 18 again. NO SURGERY needed. Thank you. My wife and kids want to thank you too. They got their husband and daddy back."
"Due to the arthritis in my spine, I have been suffering chronic back pain for years. Since other options had little to no effect, I was soon to be facing spinal surgery, which I was dreading. Acupuncture and fire cupping therapy took a lot of my pain away! My spine has made such an improvement; I no longer require spinal surgery."
"I have suffered with lower back pain for 40 years. I am an avid golfer and thought that I would have to give up golf because of the pain. I felt relief after one treatment. With weekly treatment, I have experienced less pain and more flexibility. I am playing golf four days a week now."
"As someone who deals with chronic pain, I found it necessary to explore other alternatives to pain management. It came to a point for me where prescription medication was doing more harm than good. Then I discovered acupuncture and my whole life changed. Now I have a new prescription that works for me."
"I must take a moment to thank you for the treatments you gave me for liver failure. I attribute 80% of my recovery to your special care, knowledge and kindness. This serious condition is very close to being 100% healed at this time, and I do not think it would have been possible without your services, as the doctors wanted to do a transplant and gave me a 50/50 chance of surviving."
"I struggle with anxiety and have never found anything that has successfully cleared my mind and left me feeling balanced for extended periods of time. Acupuncture leaves me feeling great for up to several weeks and my sleep has never been better. I strongly recommend acupuncture if you want an alternative to medication for managing your anxiety."
"I suffered a severe stroke in March of 2010, many did not expect me to survive, much less regain my motor skills. Acupuncture treatments have provided a painless and effective path of recovery. I have full use of my right side, my speech continues to improve and I'm driving."
"I was having severe pain in my neck and behind my eyes for approx. 7 months. Then I was referred for acupuncture and decided to go with Byron M. Barth for treatment. In 3 treatments, my pain symptoms have been 99% cured! My family and friends have noticed the difference."
"I was told I had spinal stenosis about 4 years ago. My chronic back pain kept me from getting a good night's sleep. After four visits/treatments, I was sleeping through the night. My low back pain has decreased and I am not taking as many pain pills as I once did. The treatments are painless."
"Dr. Barth, L.Ac. I wish to thank you for picking your life work in acupuncture, and for healing me of psoriasis, making it possible for me to live my life with clear skin. I wish all to know that your acupuncture treatment really works to clear psoriasis!"
