Our features
Acupuncture of Columbia has been honored to receive recognition in several renowned publications for our unwavering dedication to community health and wellness. Our practice has even been voted Missouri‘s Best Acupuncturist for three consecutive years! Here are a few of the highlights:
Gina has treated me with both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in the midst of some health issues that I, nor my doctor, could quite nail down at the time. She was so incredibly kind and thoughtful with her responses, and listened carefully at everything I had going on to see how she could best treat my ailments. Her expertise is unmatched but furthermore, her bubbly personality and true passion for helping others is what contributes to the quality of care she delivers. I highly recommend reaching out to Gina and Dr. Clark if you’re looking for an integrative approach to your healthcare needs!
I published this review as a whistleblower against workplace harassment. The care here is undeniably excellent, but the way the practitioner treats her staff behind closed doors is unprofessional. It's never OK to privately or publicly degrade other humans. It's never OK to lash out and yell profanely at other humans. It's never OK to blame other humans for your faults. And it's never OK to try to hide these behaviors in the dark. It's 2024. We should be learning and treating one another with respect and kindness. We should be leading by example, owning our mistakes, and exercising our humility to satisfy our personal commitments to betterment. We should be choosing light, Gina. This will follow you until you make it right. A simple apology would suffice.
I give them a 10 Star, if I’m being honest! Gina is a lifesaver! First of all, NO acupuncture does NOT hurt! A few little pricks or little pinches & next thing you know you’re in such a state of relaxation that your watch will try to add the time you get acupuncture to your sleep app! Seriously, every session of acupuncture my heart rate dips so much it thinks I’m asleep! You go into a natural extremely comfortable meditative sleep without having to work for it! I’ve had a reaction to something & my nervous system has been on overdrive giving me internal tremors for many weeks. Unfortunately, my regular docs have been unable to assist me through this although I continue to go to them because Gina works WITH western medicine & encourages you to continue regular care. With my reg docs, there has been no real relief unless I sedate myself with muscle relaxers. Which is a huge NO for me! I needed my body to be assisted in calming my nervous system down as gently & naturally as possible. ACUPUNCTURE works! Gina is the gentle most kind soul & will 100% make you feel comfortable! Oh yes & it’s ok to take your anxiety into their office because after a few tiny pinches & a good 5min & your body naturally responds & relaxes!! It is very seriously similar to taking a pharmaceutical for an anxiety attack but there’s NO side effects!! YOU deserve to experience acupuncture! I can’t believe I went 53yrs without experiencing it. It’s absolutely 100% worth the money! PS, check with your insurance because depending on what your struggle is, they might just pay for it!
Have you ever been to a place where you walk in and immediately feel your body begin to relax? The staff greets you by name, and the smell of the incense in the diffuser makes you smile. When you go back to one of the rooms, the relaxation continues. Heated beds with soft pillows, a nice, soft blanket, an infrared lamp at your feet, and gentle music playing through a speaker. It's so tranquil. I admit I was nervous about acupuncture. Needles are kind of freaky and the idea of lying on a bed with several needles sticking out of me was nerve-wracking. But I'd learned of the benefits of acupuncture. Things like helping with fertility, chronic illness, pain, and anxiety. Plus, Gina is just such a kind-hearted person and her positive energy is contagious. And honestly, they don't hurt at all. It's like someone poking you with a fingernail. I've been going about once a week for the past 3 months and can't believe the difference. During my first embryo transfer (before I started acupuncture), my hormones were very low and I had to supplement 2 or 3 of them. Also my lining didn't get above 6mm (not ideal). So that transfer failed. A couple weeks ago I had my 2nd transfer. Not only had my hormones been in the ideal range, but my lining was at 10mm! My anxiety has been minimal, my chronic illness (POTS) has been less symptomatic, and I just feel so much better. I can be a bit of a skeptic but I'm thrilled with how well acupuncture has worked for me! While I now recommend acupuncture to nearly everyone, I especially recommend going to Gina. I can't imagine going anywhere else.
Gina and the entire staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were always pleasant and made me feel welcome. The treatment was a success as they helped relieve the tension in my neck, back, and hips. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. They even gave me some tea and a card for my appointment, following my recent birthday. Thanks ya’ll!
What an amazing experience, I was on vacation and had a pinched nerve. After going to the doctors and getting medicine, icing, heating I felt frustrated with not feeling myself. I made an appointment for 10 treatments, after the second one my pinched nerve was so much better. Gina (who is lovely) treated my other ailments as well, I have horrible arthritis and such bad knees. After a few treatments I felt so much better and enjoyed going on my scheduled visits, the staff is so friendly and warm. I would highly recommend going to get your aches and pains resolved.
Gina is wonderful. I had a muscle spasm that had not responded to massage, chiropractic, muscle relaxants or pain relievers prescribed at urgent care. I was at the end of my options when my primary care doctor recommended accupuncture. The entire experience at Acupuncture of Columbia is restorative. I highly recommend them!
The staff are always happy and smiling and Gina is a ray of sunshine, you can’t help but be a good mood around her. Gina has helped me immensely with my arm and shoulder pain, as well as, my allergies.
Finding Acupuncture of Columbia was the best day ever! Gina and staff are amazing, kind, friendly, and considerate. Acupuncture is a great non invasive way to treat many health issues. I am so grateful to Gina and her staff for helping me.
I have been seeing Gina with Acupuncture of Columbia for several years. I started going for headaches. Now I go see her a lot of different things. She is very kind and listens to me. Sam and Marisa, her staff, are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I enjoy my visits and recommend them for all your needs.
Gina and her team are amazing. Their positive energy is palpable and they take wonderful care of me every time I visit. The private rooms are very peaceful allowing for a restful accupuncture experience.
Excellent place, very friendly staff, nice facilities and yummy tea. I always feel better after getting my accupunture with Gina at her practice. Highly recommend.
Worked like a miracle on my headaches and migraine's. I have had 2 or 3 breakthrough migraines in 6 months since I started treatment. Before this- I’d have at least 1 headache a week and at least 2 or 3 migraines a month. Gina and her staff are so friendly, professional and make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
I've been a happy patient of Gina's for several years. She and her staff are top-notch!
I had been in pain for two and a half months. I had been to doctors and a dentist with no relief. Gina took care of the pain in 10 visits! Gina, Marisa and Sam are the most caring! I highly recommend Acupuncture of Columbia!
I decided to seek out acupuncture to treat a concussion after having pretty bad migraines and vestibular issues. Within a month of acupuncture and traditional pt, I’ve been cleared by my concussion doc and have no symptoms. However, what has really made me fall in love with Acupuncture of Columbia has been its affect on my mental health. I’ve had anxiety for years and have seen the most dramatic reduction in my anxiety after receiving acupuncture than any other treatment. The team is incredibly welcoming and Gina’s energy is so positive and bright; I came away from my initial consultation feeling excited and as though I had made a friend.
I started going a few months ago to approach my health from a gentler less invasive side than Western medicine was willing to give me. AND BOY HAS IT BEEN GREAT! Gina cares about you as a person (as do her lovely staff) and I have felt heard and understood as a patient. Highly suggest making a consultation appointment. As a person with a disability I know my issues aren't going away but Gina is very good at working with each person on an individual basis, I never felt like she was trying to tick off symptoms and put me in a box. (Be sure to take the herbs too!)
Received very good consultation for family member. Decided to proceed with treatment. About halfway thru. Noticeable improvement of neuropathy. Environment relaxed & comfortable. Staff very attentive & sweet. Highly recommend!
I look forward to every appointment I have - In addition to the healing affects of acupuncture, I know it will be a 30-minute window in my day to totally relax and recharge. Very thankful for Gina and the whole team at Acupuncture of Columbia!
Gina and her team are so great. Gina has a passion to heal and help her patients. I feel heard & encouraged by Gina. The other staff, Marisa, Sam & Katerina are also so sweet and I look forward to seeing them each treatment.
I was hesitant to seek out acupuncture, but on the recommendations of family & friends, I decided to seek out Gina for some issues with plantar fasciitis. In the initial assessment, Gina was very thorough as she sought to understand which specific parts of my body were hurting. She did an excellent job of explaining what the treatment would involve. She also makes sure to check in before each treatment, asks if anything has changed in the treated area. Additionally, the welcoming staff and calming environment make each visit a joy. If you’re considering making an appointment, do it! You’ll be glad you did.
Gina and her team are amazing. From the first visit they just make you feel so welcome. Love going. And Gina has helped with my knee pain and honestly I feel better overall. My stress is so much less now. Highly recommended!
Gina, Sam and Marisa were wonderful. I had swelling from a recent knee surgery keeping me from activities even after all the physical therapy but Gina decreased that swelling in no time allowing me to get back on my bicycle! They are fantastic and I can't recommend them more enthusiastically. Please give acupuncture a try if you are hesitant. Gina and her team are the best!!!
Cannot recommend Gina and her team highly enough! My husband and I have been struggling with infertility, so I decided to try acupuncture for the first time to help with DOR and all of the extra anxiety that comes along with it. It sounds cheesy, but I really do feel like Gina's been there with me every step of my fertility journey. She created a detailed care plan to help boost fertility wellness and provide IVF support (including Chinese herbs) and even sent me home with the names/numbers of recommended REs in STL after my husband and I had repeatedly unpleasant experiences with our then-current clinic. Thanks to Gina, we found the perfect doctor in St. Louis and finally feel like we’re in all the right hands and on the right track. In the midst of everything (we're days away from our first egg retrieval), I’m so incredibly grateful for Gina’s care and compassion. She’s truly gifted at what she does, and she listens to and addresses new concerns at every session. Sam and Marisa are so wonderful and warm, too, and greet me by name with genuine smiles every morning, which is such a simple way to make patients feel valued but is SO rare. Highly, highly, highly recommend seeing Gina and her team at Acupuncture of Columbia. I look forward to every session and leave feeling relaxed, at peace, and like I just caught up with old friends.
This is by far the best experience I have ever had in my life. I found healing in my mind, body, and soul. It brought me peacefulness, and calmness. A lot of care has been put into the experience that you feel, see & hear I was cleansed from a lot of stress that I was carrying. Sam is comforting and pleasant. Marissa is efficient and polite. Gina is one of a kind genuine, intelligent, and kind❣️ (EVERYONE should experience this at least once in their life.)
Gina is an AMAZING HEALER!!! I met her 2 years ago after a traumatic event that left me with PTSD. After not sleeping for months due to nightmares, severe anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks and a nervous system that was stuck in fight or flight, I found relief that I desperately needed. I remember thinking I didn't even know if I could make the 45 minute drive to my first appointment because the images/flashbacks in my mind were so bad and they were constant. Gina listened with a kind open heart and assured me she could help. I felt like I was sharing with a real friend. In the first session, I could tell something was happening within me but I wasn't clear what it was. I was more relaxed for sure. Driving home I was shocked because it was a pleasant drive! The debilitating flashbacks were all but gone and that night I slept without nightmares for the first time! I cried many, many times before seeing Gina again because she had quite literally saved my life. I needed those things to STOP before I could do anything to help myself. I believe I did 10 sessions and herbs for a very reasonable price, especially when the treatment gets to the root of the problem rather than just treating some symptoms. Gina more than exceeded my expectations as a person and a healer. I will be forever grateful to her. I recently contacted Gina again for the ulna nerve problem I was having after having surgery 7 months ago on my elbow. The pain and weakness has continued to worsen. I have now had 3 sessions with Gina and it has improved tremendously. My last session reduced the pain even more than I thought possible. I'm very confident I am in the right place for the healing my body needs. I look forward to every visit. The office staff is always so kind, warm and greet me by name which I really appreciate. That alone says to me, "You are important to us."
Besides just being an all-around rockstar of a human being, Gina's acupuncture treatments have greatly enhanced the quality of my life! I work in the field of evidence-based medicine and have learned about the amazing results with many conditions particularly pain, reproductive, and allergies. It is a shame that there is not funding for large scale studies so that the benefits of acupuncture can be shared and promoted more widely with greater credibility. Gina has treated and helped me with numerous conditions including back and neck pain, allergies, vocal polyps, uterine fibroids, anxiety, and tinnitus. In fact, after suffering for months with pulsatile tinnitus, a side effect of a severe upper respiratory infection, my ears popped immediately half-way through the first treatment and my symptoms resolved completely within a few weeks. For those that are new to acupuncture, it is important to understand that acupuncture treatments are dose dependent like most interventions. Therefore, you will likely need to make a commitment to weekly (or even twice weekly, depending on the condition) for 5 to 12 weeks to see long term results. Most of the evidence in the world medical literature support this concept along with my own personal experience. I strongly recommend Acupuncture of Columbia for its health outcome effectiveness, kind staff, and relaxing environment. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent acupuncture experience. The staff are kind, professional and friendly, and the place is very clean, calm and inviting. Gena is one of the best acupuncturists I've been to. I highly recommend going here!
I have had a wonderful time getting treatment with Gina and her team at acupuncture of Columbia. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the space is always so relaxing and clean. Gina is so amazing and has been so attentive to my case for acupuncture but also goes the extra mile to remember little details. I highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking acupuncture.
This place is lovely! Honestly some of the best care I have gotten anywhere. Gina truly listens to you and provides wonderful acupuncture treatment. I always leave feeling so relaxed and am excited to continue to see improvements in many aspects of my physical and mental health.
I've been a patient of Gina's for a long time and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is attentive and really listens to what you say when you have your appointments. She is also a wizard with herbal tea blends. I've seen her for everything from aches and pains, to perimenopausal and post menopausal symptoms. She has helped me through so much. I'd highly recommend her to anyone trying to heal through a non western medicine approach.
I started seeing Gina in February while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Acupuncture has made my neuropathy and chemo induced nausea much more tolerable. It’s also helped with stress and insomnia from the steroids I’m taking with treatment.
Gina Butler and the staff at Acupuncture of Columbia are simply wonderful. The facilities are top notch, making the whole experience comfortable from start to finish, because from the moment you walk in the door, the atmosphere in the clinic is warm, welcoming and calming. All of the staff are very friendly and kind. Highly recommend!
Gina is a true professional. She explained everything and makes each treatment as painless as possible. Her staff is also very friendly and helpful. I have an improved quality of life.
Gina and her staff are wonderful. Acupuncture really helps me relax and overcome some serious stress responses especially in my shoulders and neck. I always look forward to my appointments.
i highly, highly recommend acupuncture of columbia. i have suffered chronic neck pain for three years without long term relief from any therapy i had attempted (physical therapy, chiropractic work, varieties of exercise, medication, muscle relaxers, radiofrequency nerve ablation, and more) and honestly (though mistakenly) saw acupuncture of columbia as a last ditch effort. since beginning my treatment in september of 2022, i have seen an unbelievable improvement in my quality of life. (as a college student, it’s pretty difficult when simply going to class requires the majority of my pain-free hours.) i am now able to remain pain free for a full month between treatments, a milestone i truly never believed i would reach. gina and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and truly make my mornings better on days when i come in. my treatment plan has been clearly communicated to me from the start. i feel very well-informed of my own health and progress, and feel cared for on the more difficult days. if you live in columbia and have been considering acupuncture, i enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend acupuncture of columbia.
Gina and her team are wonderful. I've been going here for almost a year and recommend it to everyone. Gina's helped me with tennis elbow, pre-menopausal symptoms, and general health maintenance. She listens and really cares about your treatment. I feel like acupuncture compliments my Western medicine care and has helped alleviate my IBS and digestive issues, as well as brought my stress levels down. I plan to continue going here for a long time.
I have dealt with significant chronic neuropathic pain for 30 years. I have been repeatedly to the Mayo clinic and all the Md's Columbia has to offer as well as tried most alternative remedies. I have held off on acupuncture looking for a top notch practitioner. Gina, and her staff, have gone above and beyond, exceeding my expectations. And yes I have seen some reasonable, welcomed, relief from the treatment. But the overall approach and honesty in communicating what may and may not be possible is what sets Gina apart. No false promises here. I would recommend anyone that has a "hard to treat" case explore what Gina and her practice has to offer.
I’m so happy that Gina is in Columbia, Mo. I have quit taking Aleve or anything else because of acupuncture with Gina. Also, I can now walk barefoot.
Acupuncture has certainly helped my husband and I improve in quite a few health issues! We always look forward to each treatment! When you walk into Acupuncture of Columbia, you are immersed in the feeling of health! You'll receive the kindest, most considerate care ever from Gina, Master acupuncturist, and the entire staff, who are so sweet and attentive! I was always so scared of needles ( from drawing for blood test, shots, etc.) this scene is totally different. The needles barely penetrate. Their soothing music and peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by genuine, caring professionals is simply a delightful experience! We are so very thankful! We feel healthier, more relaxed and rejuvenated! We highly recommend Gina to everyone! Go with Acupuncture of Columbia, it will be one of the best decisions you've ever made! Mike and Tammy
Gina and her staff are professional and kind. I feel welcomed every time I enter the building. It's never a dull moment when I go. I enjoy my experience every time.
Gina has been treating my migraines for several years and they have improved greatly. The frequency of my migraines has diminished and continues to do so. I now go monthly for a maintenance session. Gina and her staff are wonderful. Trying acupuncture and being treated by Gina was the best decision I made.
