Find Out Why People Keep Coming Back

  • So happy to have Matsuda in Helper. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. I get pain relief within 12-24 hours of acupuncture treatment and it helps me for weeks afterwords. I recently had a treatment for back pain headaches, but even the short session gave me so much relief by the next morning I felt better than I had in months. It is a nice place to get some R & R for an hour or so and do some self healing and recovery. Highly recommend to anyone open to healing.

  • I had a great experience at Matsuda Acupuncture. Booking my first appointment was quick and easy. After 6 treatments my pain level has improved so much I am able to resume my regular activities. I highly recommend Matsuda Acupuncture for back pain relief.

  • I had a great experience and am completely pain free! I went in for what I thought was carpal tunnel but Matsuda told me it was probably due to my neck and sure enough it was! He is amazing at what he does, I stand behind him 100%.
