Equilibrium Acupuncture - Chico, California

After suffering for years with shoulder pain i decided to go see Andre thanks to a friends recommendation. His treatment has been a very positive and beneficial experience I’ve done acupuncture in the past for the same issues but, this time it really stuck Andre is really kind knowledgeable and wants to better your life experience with his treatment. On top of all of that he explains what he is doing and what he wishes you experience whilst seeing him. My shoulder pain has improved immensely and I am grateful to have worked with him this past year to help get my body right. This experience has improved my quality of life dramatically and highly recommend anyone who is dealing with any physically ailments regarding your muscles to give it a chance. And I would like to thank Andre for providing a wonderful service. 5/5 stars will be seeing him again if any other problem arise.

After 30 years of dealing with knot in my shoulder blade that always flared up with overuse, Andre was able to successfully treat in three session. I was also having new pain down my right arm and elbow that has totally subsided. I am so grateful for André and a technique that worked for me.

Andre gave me my life back! Before I came to Equilibrium Acupuncture I had not been able to move without excruciating pain for 2 months. My doctor at the time gave me muscle relaxers and nerve medication and nothing even touched the pain. Literally felt like the bones in my lower back/hips were rubbing together and my legs were in constant, intense ache. After trying massage, chiropractic care, stretching, rest, “pushing through it”, and 10 different medications 3 times a day I decided to try acupuncture and I am so glad that I did!! I was hesitant at first being as overweight as I am, but it was not a problem at all. After the first session I had instant relief and after only 5 sessions I now have been consistently without pain and no longer take any medication!! Andre is extremely kind, very knowledgeable, personable, honest about what to expect, and the best part is that he doesn’t try to push you to book a bunch of sessions. He truly cares about his clients and I cannot say enough good things about him. I truly believe that if I hadn’t gone to see him, I would still barely be able to move today.

André is wonderful! He is really knowledgeable and will talk you through all of his steps during his acupuncture sessions. I have had migraines for 10+ years and his trigger point acupuncture significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of them. If you’re thinking about who to go to, I would 100% recommend him!

I found myself dealing with a pretty severe amount of constant pain. I had never been to acupuncture before but I was willing to try anything to get rid of pain. Andre was professional and took the time to explain everything so that I was comfortable with the entire process. Pain resolution has allowed me to focus on getting back to my normal daily activities and I am grateful to have had the treatments because I know they sped up the healing process. Thank you Andre!

Andre at Equilibrium Acupuncture has helped me tremendously! I’ve been dealing with lower back pain from an injury in 2022 that flares up occasionally, causing severe pain that can last for weeks. I’ve seen my doctor, had X-rays, MRIs, and other tests, but all results have come back “normal” for my age. While chiropractic treatments and massage therapy sessions provided some relief, it often took multiple sessions. For the past year, I’ve also been attending physical therapy and doing the recommended exercises. However, it wasn’t until Andre treated me with acupuncture that I experienced significant improvement. He was able to 1) immediately pinpoint the source of my pain and 2) provide both immediate relief and long-term reduction in my overall pain symptoms.

Andre is incredibly patient and genuinely committed to addressing the specific issues causing the pain. He never pressures you into a series of expensive treatments or programs. I only wish I had started with Andre much sooner, but better late than never! I highly recommend him and give him a 5-star rating. Thank you, Andre!

I was experiencing back pain and shoulder pain in my muscles from repetitive motion at my construction job. I was referred to Equilibrium acupuncture by my wife because she had such a good experience there dealing with her own pain issues and Andre was everything she said and more. Andre is so nice and very knowledgeable. My experience throughout the whole treatment was very comfortable and I have to say I’ve definitely felt some really great improvement in my problem areas in my back and shoulders, even after one treatment. Just like my wife, I would definitely recommend Andre at Equilibrium to anybody experiencing pain in their muscles. 5 stars for sure!

Andre is the best! Thorough, great bedside manner!
I went to Andre with a hurt foot...unclear what I did (I did not think I had a fracture). Somewhere along the line I smashed it. Pain of at least a 8, without being able to put pressure.
He quickly explained his process and within 1 treatment I was
almost back to normal (Considering this problem went on for a few weeks, I was delighted!) Within a couple more days, I was walking normal. One more treatment and I was done.
Thank you Andre!
