I have one muscle in my leg that strains a couple times a year. It just takes one visit to Christian to clear it up.

I was referred to Pins and Needles by my physical therapist as part of my treatment plan for idiopathic scoliosis. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. On my first visit, I wasn’t fully aware of just how much back pain I had been living with—until after my initial treatment with Dr. Curtis.

Now, after several sessions, I am still amazed at the transformation the dry needling treatments have made in my daily activities. I feel like I stand up straighter and stronger, and I no longer have the lingering lower back pain that used to hold me back.

Dr. Curtis is truly exceptional. He not only addresses the physical discomfort but also takes the time to explain the process, ensuring I feel comfortable and confident in my treatment.

If you’re dealing with scoliosis, chronic pain, or just want to improve your overall well-being, I cannot recommend Pins and Needles enough. They have made a profound difference in my health and quality of life, and I am so grateful for the care and expertise!

This fall was my first experience with dry needling or acupuncture and Christian's expertise has truly brought my chronic pain issues down to almost negligable. He explain things, listens, and asks questions to inform and change approach.

The best place to get acupuncture! First off, when you walk in, the place feels so serene and calm. Very clean, too, just as a clinic should be. Christian was kind, empathetic, yet very professional. He listened to my concerns and issues and provided the treatment that was exactly what I needed. I left feeling relaxed and stress-free for the rest of the day (and even into the next day!). I can't recommend this place highly enough.

I have been receiving acupuncture treatment for my chronic pain from Christian at Pins and Needles, and I couldn't be more grateful for the results. My pain, which starts in my shoulder and radiates up my neck and around my upper back and shoulder, has been reduced by about 40% thanks to Christian's expertise. The improvement continues with each session, and I'm optimistic about further progress.

Christian is a licensed and highly qualified practitioner who truly understands his craft. His professional and compassionate approach has made a significant difference in my quality of life. The treatment environment at Pins and Needles is calm and welcoming, making each visit a positive experience.

In addition to acupuncture, I am also working with Lilly, a licensed and highly qualified massage therapist, to manage my condition in the affected areas. The combination of these treatments has been very effective, and I am confident that continuing with both Lilly’s massage treatment and Christian's acupuncture sessions will lead to even better results.
I highly recommend Christian and Lilly with Pins and Needles to anyone seeking relief from chronic pain. This treatment has been a game-changer for me, and I am so thankful to have found such skilled practitioners.

Christian knows his stuff, or at least my body sure tells my brain that he does! I’ve been seeing him for dry needling treatment going on a year now and it has does done more for me than deep tissue massage. Highly recommend for anyone seeking tension relief, recovery or even regular maintenance.

I came to Pins and Needles to work through a long lasting tennis elbow injury I suffered while playing in the Mario Kart World Championships on Nintendo Switch. As an weekend warrior athlete, this was devastating - and it took me out of the gym for months. I tried self icing, heat compression, and theragun for months before I learned about the dry needling technique.

I started googling and came across Pins & Needles, likely because their SEO strategy is on point. Anyway - I came in for a consultation with Dr. Christian Curtis and I could immediately tell he knew what he was talking about. He asked all the right questions, made no assumptions, and found the source of the problem within minutes.

After 3-4 sessions of Dry Needling with Pins and Needles, my tennis elbow is 90% gone and I'm back in the gym training for the next Mario Kart series coming up in January down in Capetown, South Africa.

In conclusion, I could not recommend a better place for acupuncture and dry needling. Dr Christian Curtis is world-class in his field and will get you healed and back on your feet in no time.

Joanna, one of the massage therapists here, is very good. Excellent pressure and a wonderful blend of relaxing while also really getting to the root of the muscle tension. And especial shout out for her fluid transitions between muscles that contributed to a calm ambiance and feeling like she really got to all the problem areas while still doing a full body massage.

At the suggestion of my chiropractor, I made an appointment with Adrian at Pins and Needles. This was my first experience with acupuncture and Adrian not only made sure that it was a comfortable introduction, but provided a detailed explanation of the process and treatment goals during the initial appointment. I was seeking relief from an on-going hamstring and glute injury that had frustrated my endurance training for nearly two years. After the first appointment, I felt relief with steady improvement as treatments progressed. As I increased my mileage and activities, Adrian recognized inhibited movement patterns and modified my treatment accordingly. Through a series of sessions, I was able to get back to my training goals pain-free. Woo-hoo!

As an athlete himself, Adrian understands how to work with athletes. In addition to being a skilled practitioner, he is adept at distracting you with engaging conversation during treatments, so the rare moments of discomfort pass quickly. If you have a soft tissue injury that you have been unable to heal, go see Adrian.

I started having pain in my left shoulder during my second month of pregnancy that continued to worsen. Initially I was seeing a chiropractor once a week and after 3 months of treatment, I was making no progress and the pain was actually getting more severe. I started seeing Adrian for acupuncture and now after 4 sessions I am virtually pain free. He was able to quickly diagnosis what was causing the pain and the combination of acupuncture and taping he used has been highly effective. I’m so thankful for his expertise in treating shoulders and highly recommend him!
