Testimonials

“When looking for an acupuncturist, Julie stood out as the only Doctor of Acupuncture in our area. She also stood out for being educated and experienced in both western and Traditional Chinese medicine. She used this diverse background during the initial assessment and ongoing treatment. Julie is passionate about health and wellbeing. She is also highly skilled at what she does. While I’ve had friends bemoan the pain of dry needling, I was able to enjoy the benefits without discomfort like theirs – thanks to Julie’s extensive training and experience. I also benefited greatly from the use of Traditional Chinese Herb blends. Whether you’re new or returning to acupuncture, I highly recommend Julie” Melissa 

“I would recommend Dr Julie to anyone. She is wonderful, compassionate and knowledgeable. I suffer from migraines and I could tell very early in my treatment the migraines were less painful. The frequency has gotten better as well. I was taking medication for migraine prevention that had unpleasant side effects. I am so thankful I tried acupuncture, and I am so blessed to have found Dr. Julie. She is a large part of my journey to better health and a better quality of life.” L.W.

“I cannot say enough regarding how pleased I am with Julie and her work. I have received acupuncture from many practitioners throughout my life and Julie is one of my favorites by far. Her professionalism and skill are impressive and her compassion and knowledge exceed expectation. I highly recommend Julie Allison and refer to her often.” A.T.

“I found Dr. Julie because she’d been nominated as Charleston’s “Best Acupuncturist” in 2017 (for the second year in a row) and she’s certainly very talented. What struck me initially is that she *listens* and is compassionate about your ailments (something that is sadly so rare in the Western Medical system anymore). Autoimmune disease is often dismissed by doctors; I thought Chinese Medicine would offer hope after having tried everything else. I was not disappointed. Dr. Julie made it clear that it wouldn’t just be a short series of treatments – I’ve had this for almost five decades, after all – but even though we’ve only been working together a short time, I finally have begun to feel like myself again. Thank you, Dr. Julie, for giving me my life back.” P.W.

“This was a great experience with great results. Dr. Allison is truly a knowledgeable and professional Acupuncturist. Her clinic is clean and comfortable with private rooms for patient care. I would highly recommend Dr. Allison to anyone looking for pain relief through acupuncture.” Adam 

“The first thing I noticed on my first visit was the relaxing atmosphere, Dr. Julie has created a welcoming and warm space. After three sessions with Dr. Julie I can confidently say that her treatments have changed my life for the better. After struggling with back pain for years that had only been getting worse, I am finally able to sleep pain free! Not only that, but there has been major improvement to the pain in my partially torn labrum in my right shoulder which I had just accepted was going to hurt for the rest of my life. I have experienced less stress, anxiety and an improved appetite since beginning these acupuncture sessions. Dr. Julie is kind and professional, talking through any concerns I had before we started and communicating through the entire session making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I find myself looking forward to my sessions and the improvements I feel after every week! If you are like me and you felt there was nothing you could do to ease the pain, stress and anxiety, I recommend you give this a chance as I did. It might just change your life!” Dan 

“Julie is an absolute gem. She’s kind, attentive, and amazingly talented. I came in not being able to move and left feeling incredible relief following weeks of lower back issues. You can tell she really loves what she does and cares about her patients well being. Much more than just a transaction for her. I can’t recommend her more highly and would probably fly in to Charleston just to see her again :)” Tanner

“Wow! Julie Allison is amazing! I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Dr. Julie since November 2017. She helped relief pain from a hip labral tear, bursitis in my greater trochanter, and general muscle pain and tendonitis that I was experiencing leading up to surgery. Because of Dr. Julie’s expertise, I went into surgery feeling healthy. I’m two weeks out of surgery and have continued treatments that have assisted with a positive healing process. I would (and already do) recommend Dr. Julie to my friends and clients” Erin

“Julie certainly has mastered the art and science of acupuncture. She is a great listener and in my experience Julie works towards healing both body and mind. I have seen her 3 times for a severe case of Arthritis and I would not go back to traditional medicine to try to rid myself of the pain associated with it. I felt a profound lessening of my symptoms and fully expect with more treatments to be back doing all the day to day tasks which make life much more pleasurable. Julie is the answer I was looking for . I highly recommend her and her practice. Her professionalism is above reproach. Thank you Julie!” J.B.

“I have been seeing Julie for nearly 2 years. I’d been interested in trying acupuncture for some time for a cranky knee and found Julie on the internet. I was impressed with her website and easy location, and I’m so glad I decided to visit her! I enjoy her relaxing treatments once or twice a month for various aches and pains that come with age plus for stress relief and general well-being. I highly recommend Julie. She is tremendously skilled and caring. Additionally, she offers a package plan that I appreciate very much. Thank-you, Julie!!! You’re the BEST!” Kathy

Working with Julie has become part of my routine self care and I send anyone who is need to her! I highly recommend her as you will not be disappointed” T.E.

“Dr. Allison came highly recommended to me as an alternative to treat my chronic back pain and muscle related injuries. I was immediately impressed with the time she took during my initial visit to ask questions and help both of us gain an understanding of what my needs were. She then put in place a treatment plan that we’ve stuck with. I felt relief in a very short period of time and today my pain has subsided and my mobility has noticeably improved. She is both personable and professional and cares about her patients. I couldn’t be happier. I’m so glad to have been referred to Dr. Allison” S.K
