"A few months ago I had been experiencing pain in my lower back and legs. I began looking for a Doctor of Oriental Medicine to get acupuncture treatments. I called several places in the Treasure Valley, but I didn’t feel comfortable with what I was hearing. In fact, compared to the care and treatment I received from my past doctor in Sacramento, Calif. I was concerned with their responses to my questions. I then had the good fortune of calling Alderman Medical Acupuncture. I was impressed when speaking with Dr. Alderman personally, for he took the times to answer all my questions. I felt so at ease after speaking with him.
My first appointment was for a free consultation. I then scheduled my evaluation/examination appointment. Based on this comprehensive exam and interview, Dr. Alderman explained my diagnosis and treatment plan which would provide the appropriate results orientated treatment in the shortest amount of time need to deal with my problem. I am now about halfway through my treatment plan and I‘m already feeling a great deal of improvement. I feel I made the right choice in coming to Dr. Alderman.
If you are reading this and have never tried acupuncture I highly recommend Dr. Alderman and the professional care he provides. —Sandra Riepe
"I have had symptoms of Lupes for over 15 years and have had severe symptoms in the last 5 years of fatigue, pain, insomnia, loss of eye sight and overall sluggishness. I have been to at least 10 different doctors trying to get a diagnosis of what Is wrong. They put me on different medicines with terrible side affects or told me nothing was wrong, finally I got diagnosed last year with Lupes & fibramialgia. I started treatment with 2 different types of prescriptions. After 6 months my symptoms were not much different but again the side affects from the prescriptions were making me sicker so I stopped all the prescriptions.
I saw an article in the Paper saying that patients with fibromyalgia have had great results with their symptons from acupuncture. I saw Dr Aldermans sign in front of his office and that is when my life changed. I was concerned at first because my insurance did not cover acupuncture but Dr. Alderman's only concern was getting me better not about making money and made reasonable arrangements for me to afford the care. After a few weeks of treatments my pain & fatigue started to decrease. Before acupuncture I was missing an average of 2 days a month from work due to major fatigue. I have not missed a day of work since I started seeing Dr Alderman 5 months ago. My pain & fatigue are almost completely gone and my eye sight has cleared up.
I am a huge advocate for acupuncture and tell everyone that I would have paid thousands of dollars for this treatment not hundreds because I feel that much better. Dr Alderman has truly changed my life because of his caring attitude & his years of professional training." —Jill Monteith
"Two years ago I was in a car accident. My Neurologist, Dr. Michael O’Brian did all that he could outside of surgery for damage to my neck. I was diagnosed with a cervical strain. After months of rehab with a physical therapist he recommended that I try acupuncture and referred me to Dr. John Alderman. After three sessions at Alderman’s Acupuncture Clinic my neck was 99% improved. I am truly amazed how well I fell. The pain is gone and the mobility has returned. I have recommended Dr. John Alderman too many of my friends because of the success I have experienced. He was very professional and listened to me intently. It’s a wonderful day when you can avoid surgery and feel great!" —Bruce Wright, Nampa, ID
"Dear Dr. Alderman, I just wanted to drop a note to you, to pass on to your future patients. The acupuncture procedures you did for my arthritis pain in my back, due to scoliosis, were great. After the second session, I really noticed a difference. So much so, that I did not have to take the pain pills, prescribed by my family doctor. Keep up the good work, and I will be seeing you soon again. I want to see about stopping cigarette smoking. Thanks again."
—Gary G. Boise, ID
"It wasn't until after I had invested in three visits to a specialists and received two cortisone shots that didn't relieve the pain, that I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Alderman. After three acupuncture treatments, the pain in my shoulder was gone and has not returned in two years. I appreciated the time Dr. Alderman took to explain the diagnosis and implementation of treatment. I would recommend Dr. Alderman to anyone who has pain and is seeking treatment without traditional medication." —Heidi
"In a time of great stress and pain I was very grateful for the relief I received from Acupuncture. I have found that John has an uncanny ability to listen and do a thorough assessment, from which he develops an individual treatment plan. In working with him I have seen that each client receives this same thoughtful and careful attention. I appreciate the desire he has to share his knowledge of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine because it is important for everyone to have a better understanding of these very natural and effective forms of healing and ways to be healthier." —Ruth A. Davis, RN
"Dr. John, I really can't say enough about your treatment and the new lease on life it gave me is such a short period of time. After the MRI and string of specialists I saw after waking up blind one morning, I
> really had given up lot of hope. I was astonished after being told that recovery would take at least 6 months, that only after one treatment with acupuncture I was able to see a little and walk unassisted for the first time in 11 days. For several weeks, after each treatment I experienced better vision and motor control. Full recovery in no time at all compared to the doctors comments. Thank you very much. I'm convinced that this alternative therapy is the way to go." —Ross Mackintosh
"I have gained my life back thanks to Dr. Alderman and Acupuncture. In September of 2005 I could barely walk without excruciating pain. I went to my regular doctor, who is a general practitioner, who gave me medication for pain and ran tests for gout which came back negative.
I work on my feet ten hours a day and even with pain medication I could barely stand the pain. I then went to a foot and ankle specialists who gave me a shot of cortisone and again ran test including an MRI. I had stress fractures and degeneration. The doctor recommended an ankle fusion. Seeking a second opinion, I consulted Orthopedists, who gave me another cortisone shot. He said if the shot did not help I would need surgery.
Still in considerable pain and continuing to endure work on my feet a fellow worker told me about Dr. Alderman and that I should try acupuncture. Since I’ve been under the care of Dr. Alderman I know longer come home from work and sit on the sofa and cry because of the pain. Dr. Alderman’s treatments now allow me to again walk up stairs and exercise. Dr. Alderman has truly given me my life back." —Janelle Martin
“I selected Dr. Alderman because of his 25 plus years of experience and training are definitely apparent in his practice. I started seeing Dr. Alderman about a year ago and his interview and examination regarding my problem was most through and complete. The treatment provided was most professional and caring. I did receive relief for the problem that I sought help with and will continue to seek out Dr. Alderman and his care in the future for anxiety and any other musculoskeletal problem that I might encounter. I can recommend him enough.” —Kathy Brown R.N.
