He has a special gift of quickly being able to pinpoint where pain is generating from and a miraculous way of treating that pain.

  • "As a large mature woman with back and joint issues, I've had a lot of pain and challenges with mobility. It would hurt to just sit at my computer or walk a few blocks! This pain woke me up at night and made it almost impossible to get a good night's sleep. Seeing Greg Bell regularly for a combination of acupuncture, acupressure, bodywork and other therapeutic techniques has made it possible for me to comfortably move and function in my very busy life. He is attentive to details. He identifies exactly where I hurt and how that is impacting my movement, he then applies his experience and skills to address those problems. Making my treatments from Greg part of my wellness regime, along with exercise, diet and sleep, improves the quality and the productivity of my life. And without the use of drugs. Greg's also a lovely person and honestly cares about his clients and their well-being. Greg is amazing!"

  • "I started seeing Greg 4 years ago due to an asthma problem I was suffering from in the winter months. Every week I saw him I got progressively better and since then have not had any issues with asthma. Greg has also helped me heal from many sports and weight lifting injuries, specifically with my shoulder and neck. I continue to see Greg weekly for both acupuncture and massage. Greg has a unique way of always knowing where the underlying problems and pain points are. His deep knowledge and understanding of the body helps him quickly get to the root cause of the issue. And with his many techniques is able to make me feel better physically and emotionally. He is very good at what he does and I am grateful for my time with him each week. So worth it!"

  • "Yes, just say yes to Greg. I was fortunate enough to find Greg a number of years ago. He puts you at ease as he asks and listens to your responses about what's going on with your body. However, he also has an incredible intuition as well and is extremely knowledgeable about muscle issues and soft tissues concern. No matter what has been bothering me lately - shoulder, tennis elbow, quads, Greg knows exactly how to effectively treat and sooth the muscle and aches. His touch is transformational and you will leave the table relaxed and in the zen zone. He will cup, needle, and massage your body to a better place. I always walk out of his room thinking why did I wait so long for a visit. Do your soul and body a favor, Greg is one of the best."

    — Jim C.

  • "I have known Greg and have been treated by him for 5 years, several times a month, and without hesitation I would say he is the best. Through treatments of several injuries, back pain, maintenance or stress relief, Greg is simply a lifesaver. He is an expert in his field, professional, attentive, patient, good listener (for related and non related problems), and very knowledgeable about the human body physiology in health and disease. I have referred many family members and many friends to Greg. He helped all of them, they all praise him and became “regulars”. Greg has my highest respect and confidence."

    — F. Y.

  • "I have been a patient of Greg Bell’s for over 5 years. Originally saw him for acupuncture for shoulder inflammation, now I see him regularly to relieve inflammation and soreness from head to toe. Unlike many practitioners who apply the same treatment to each patient, Greg is very intuitive and is able to locate the “ hotspots “ and problem areas and treat them with either acupuncture, massage or manipulation. He is a great listener and uses his wide range of skills to deliver effective relief and therapy. I feel fortunate to have found him and enjoy seeing him regularly."

    — John

    — Dot Vachuska

  • "I first visited Greg because I was having serious back pain. My doctor prescribed physical therapy sessions, But I was not improving. Not only did the acupuncture and bodywork/massage sessions quickly start to improve my symptoms but Greg also reviewed my exercises from PT with me and identified and helped to correct some issues with my form that my physical therapists had been too busy to notice as well as suggesting some other exercises to address the root causes of my pain. I’ve been pain free for over five years and continue to visit Greg as our sessions have evolved to become an essential part of my overall approach to my health and well-being."

    — Mike R.

  • "I have been seeing Greg for over 10 years and am still in awe of his kindness, patience, calm and professional demeanor. He uses a mixture of techniques and tailors each session to what you and your body need. He checks in at the beginning of each session and listens to you in order to determine the best treatment. I have been using massage therapists for over 30 years and have never experienced anyone who looks at your entire wellness as part of the session. I believe so strong in what he does I have had him treat my whole family. You just can't go wrong with Greg."
