John Thacker is an experienced practitioner in the scope of one of the oldest healing practices in the world. He aims to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body. John encourages active patient participation in one’s own health care. As an Acupuncturist, he decides which points to treat by observing and questioning the patient in order to make a diagnosis to act upon. This process works well in conjunction with Western Medicine and does not interfere with drug therapy. John gets to know his patients well by asking about condition, lifestyle, and behavior. His understanding, kind and caring personality are assets to the patient. He is very sincere and compassionate and takes a 1:1 approach. John’s outstanding professionalism is evident through his knowledge and skilled technique. I can highly recommend John to anyone. His practice offers a “comfort zone” which many patients long for regarding a non-drug approach for relief or prevention of pain and other conditions. -T. Aust, RPh Salem, VA

I cannot say enough good things about John Thacker. After suffering with terrible headaches all my life, they had become so excruciating that I went to him as a last resort. At the time, I had been having a headache almost every day for five months and medications helped very little. I believe I had five or six treatments and then I went on vacation. This has been 2-1/2 years ago. I have been amazed that during the 2-1/2 years, I probably have not had over 5-6 headaches, which were not bad ones and went away after taking a couple of pills. I will forever be grateful to John for getting rid of these headaches. I might mention that I had suffered with headaches since I was a teenager and I am in my 70s now. I would highly recommend John Thacker to anyone.

After my frequent frustrations with the standard Western medical approach and endless side-effects from medication prescriptions, I decided to try acupuncture as a different attempt. Although acupuncture does not relieve all my symptoms, it works for many of them (especially for back pain, stress, joint problems). But what is just as important for me personally is that John really listens without trying to put a medical label on a condition. He pays attention not just to the physical symptom, but to what it might be connected to. I can honestly say that I have never felt treated more seriously and more as a whole person than in John's practice, and I always happily return for the next session.

I went to John for help with tight trapezius muscles that caused me crippling pain. We clicked immediately. His skill, compassion, and engaging personality keep me coming back. This is my first experience with acupuncture and I have been elighted with the results. Consistency in treatment, and doing what John suggests between treatments, has taken away my pain. I used to wake up wondering how I would get through the day and now I wonder what I will do first! I look forward to seeing John at each visit. John is very professional and organized. I have never been kept waiting for an appointment and he has always been willing to work me in if needed.

For the past 20 years I have suffered from chronic muscle pain in my hips and legs due to several pelvic surgeries I underwent as a child. I have tried everything from medication to physical therapy to therapeutic massage in order to cope with this chronic pain...all to no avail. Two years ago I decided to give acupuncture a try in hope of better results, so I scheduled an appointment with John. The results were amazing! He was able to reach the deep tissue in my hips and legs with the needles and apply electric stimulation directly at the site of the pain. Never before have I ever been truly pain free. I have continued weekly treatments with John ever since with continued positive results. While the trauma to the muscles and nerves from my surgeries will never completely heal, I feel acupuncture serves as a very efficacious pain management tool. I highly recommend John, as he is an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional individual who cares for his patients on a personal level.

John's services are outstanding. I develop pretty painful trigger points that limit my ability to be active and enjoy sports. Medication doesn't help these issues and I've visited a number of specialists. John is the only person who has been able to help me recover from these issues and get back to doing the things I love. I highly recommend his services to everyone, the benefits are incredible and the increase in overall well-being is amazing.
