What do patients say about Walter?

“Walter's intake method is very professional and caring. He is attentive and asks questions in a clear, concerned manner. Walter explains the purpose and what improvements should happen with the treatment. He is very knowledgeable in acupuncture and integral medicine. I would highly recommend him!

“Walter is not only wealth of knowledge but his ability to explain and teach you what is going on in your body is very helpful.  I went from stressed and overwhelmed in my body to relaxed and open within minutes after one treatment.  He is a gifted and knowledgeable healer.  I feel excited to continue to work with him.”

-A.M.K. Martinez, CA

“Not long ago I had a root canal which almost immediately prevented my jaw from opening. The endodontist said that my jaw muscles had been traumatized and would eventually loosen up. More than 5 weeks later and there had not been a change. I made an appointment with Walter to use acupuncture to help loosen up my jaw further. After my session, I immediately gained mobility in my jaw. We continued this for 7 sessions, each time I would measure before and after, and after each session there was a notable increase of movement. I am now back to full unrestricted movement of my jaw. Thank you, Walter Homberg, for your professionalism, knowledge of the different studies of acupuncture, and the final results we achieved!”
