Testimonials - A small sample of Dr. Craig Webb’s many satisfied clients
"I was suffering a severe case of Repetitive Strain Injury of my right hand when I was referred to Dr Craig Webb at North Shore Acupuncture. His treatment has made a world of difference in the healing of my hand, which was almost unusable when I began seeing him.
I had been to another acupuncturist before Craig and was ambivalent about the effectiveness of the treatment. I was struck by the positive difference in Craig's approach in treating patients from my first visit. Craig is clearly an expert in his field and shows a genuine interest in his patients' well-being and in helping them heal. Anyone considering acupuncture would do well to consider going to Craig.

Hi Craig...it’s Danielle M. I saw you decades ago in North Van for Acupuncture...Marathon runner. I meant to text you earlier...my sister said she had you treat her at treatment in Burnaby in 2019.
Thank you for the care you provided her. It’s been a long journey for my sister (and our family)...We just connected in 2018...She’s still sober and safe. I’m just grateful I have my sister back.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the work that you do.
Take care - Danielle

"I went to Craig Webb because I was experiencing really bad headaches for several weeks and I took over the counter medications to help with the pain but they didn't really help. I tried acupuncture a couple of times and noticed right after each treatment how significantly I felt better. It really amazed me how fast it worked and I havent had headaches ever since. Craig is very knowledgeable and is a true expert in the field. I would highly recommend him, thanks Craig"

I met Craig after deciding to find a true acupuncturist outside of the physio clinic, closer to my home, after plantar fasciitis continued to bother me without relief. The pain was often so bad that it woke me up from sleep. I have received regular treatments since the spring of this year.
Craig has also helped me with back pain and a stiff neck due to arthritis.
I believe acupuncture has helped me with 90% of the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and Morton's Neuroma that evolved from the stretched tendon.
I would not hesitate to recommend Craig as a competent and professional acupuncturist.

Thank you for the acupuncture treatments. You have not only helped
me with the treatments for the pain in my head, neck and shoulder, but
for the T.M.J.
For over 5 months I've had stress/TMJ headaches around my right
temple, compromising also my right eye.
Ibuprofen would bring temporary relief to the symptoms but not really
help in the long run. Then I also had neck pain caused by the jaw
problem. Subsequently the first treatment, I felt 1,000% better.
After few more Dr. Craig Webb’s acupuncture treatments, the residual
discomfort is almost completely gone. I am very grateful to Craig as he
has very successfully treated me for TMJ in my jaw

I had been reading about "Acupuncture Facelift" for a while when I came across Craig's website and decided to give it a try. Acupuncture is a natural way to stimulate the collagen and elastin production of the skin, which decreases as people age. After about
3 sessions, I started to notice a softening of my facial lines and jawline, as well as overall smoother skin. This
improvement continued through the 10 recommended sessions. I am very pleased with the results and would recommend facial acupuncture to anyone looking for a soft, natural lift and refresher. Craig is very personable and very knowledgeable in both acupuncture and TCM.

Hi Craig,
I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous improvement in my migraines since acupuncture treatment with you: 12 years of excruciating, nauseating, disabling 72 hour premenstrual migraines 80% better in 3 months of acupuncture.
Now I require much less medication to manage my migraines and often achieve complete relief with 400 mg of Ibuprophen.
Furthermore, I am still able to work as the migraines are no longer severe, and I no longer vomit into the desk wastebasket.

I had had Shingles ..and the aftermath... for approximately 4 months and was fed up with the aching. I was left with a neuralgic pain in the area where the Shingles had erupted. My Doctor suggested two options. Pills, which I had no intention of taking, or acupuncture. Thank goodness for my new-age, progressive doctor. I took his advice and attended Mr. Webb's clinic.
My first session with Craig was my first visit ever into this alternative style medicine. The pain which I had was so significantly relieved, that I felt able to "breathe" easily the next day. Although there is some residual pain, there is nothing on an everyday basis which is intolerable. I consider the treatment to be very significant in relieving that pain.
My second visit to Mr. Webb, was after extensive dental surgery, which had lasted 2 1/2 hours. My jaw 8 days later was very sore and nothing seemed to help relieve the pain. Very tensed by the time of my appointment, the session began by trying to relieve the tension in my whole body. In doing so, there was sudden very loud "crack". The aching in my jaw began to loosen. I believe that at that time my jaw went back into the socket....
I found on both visits, Craig Webb to be very professional and skilled in this Chinese Traditional medicine and would not hesitate to go back to him.

Hi Craig
I wanted to thank you for treating my allergies and allergy induced asthma.
I have had them since moving to Canada 13 years ago and they last for about 8 weeks in springtime. I have tried antihistamines and homeopathic remedies, but none of them have much of an effect and I use a steroid based inhaler to prevent asthma. As a person who tends to only believe in science and things I can understand, I was a bit dubious about acupuncture, but thought it was worth a try, anything to be able to sleep at night..
After the first treatment I managed to sleep all night, I hadn't done this for over a month due to a blocked nose and sinuses waking me up usually every 2 to 2.5 hrs.
I stopped taking all my other allergy medications, even my inhaler. The following night I only woke up once. I'm amazed, after 4 treatments I am not suffering any more.
I'll be back next year before allergy season.
Thanks

Craig Webb, of NSAcupunture, has been my acupuncturist for several years now. From the start he put me at ease, was well-informed and always open to answering my many questions (such as, "What's that one for?"). He is thorough and always checks to see how I am doing and what, in particular, I am looking for on a particular visit. I can't imagine trying any other acupuncturist now!

After having lived with a muscular injury to my shoulder for many years and finding traditional forms of treatment such as anti-inflammatory drugs, physio and massage therapy to be ineffective, I finally decided to seek what many still consider to be an alternative and dubious form of healing.
Originally unsure of its potential healing ability myself, I cautiously approached Dr. Webb and sought my first acupuncture treatment several years ago. After my first consultation and treatment session, my skepticism quickly vanished. I miraculously found that just after my first session, my shoulder pain had largely diminished and mobility and strength were beginning to return.
After about 6 sessions spaced one week apart, I had seen better results in that time, then I would have with 6 years of other forms of treatment.
Acupuncture is one of those mysteries that our culture has not quite yet accepted as genuine, but Dr. Webb offers a very comfortable atmosphere and relaxing ambience and his knowledge of the human body and its ability to heal itself is something that has helped me immensely.
I would strongly recommend Dr. Webb's service to anyone that has been or is living with some form of pain resulting from injury, particularly, if like me, you have found other forms of treatment to be ineffective.

Last year I had a full radical hysterectomy that left my bladder non-functional. I was only able to empty my bladder by a catheter. The doctors had no treatments to offer me and could not promise me a quick recovery. So, I went to see Craig for acupuncture.
The morning after the second treatment, I was able to partially void without a catheter. After my third treatment I was able to void about 80% capacity the very next day! The rest was history, and I was able to throw out the catheters the end of that week.
My doctor was impressed with how the acupuncture helped the healing process of my bladder. So, thanks to Craig for making that happen for me.

Having never experienced acupuncture before, I was not sure what to expect when I first met with Craig. After only a handful of treatments, I noticed a remarkable difference in my energy level. Most of the symptoms that I had been struggling with for months (headaches, fatigue, digestive problems) were completely cleared and I am glad to say that I finally feel like my old self again. I would absolutely recommend Craig’s services to anybody looking to optimize their health and well-being.

Hello Craig it's Jacob MacDonald. After my last visit I no longer needed any other treatment for my shoulder. I have been to the gym every second day since then and have had no pain at all in my shoulder. That was years of pain wiped away in just a few sessions with you. So I wanted to thank you and say I'm a strong believer in your practice and have been recommending acupuncture to other people. I was hoping I could put a testimonial on your website if possible. Thanks again and let me know.

Hello Graig,
I wanted to tell you how much better I feel since I got your treatment. No more headaches since 3 years and my life is so much easier.
Thanks again for being so professional and to listen so carefully about people's problems.

I went to see Craig after having no luck with physio for a painful upper back and shoulder and wasn't really expecting it to make any difference, but I thought "why not", while we were talking I started having a hot flash and flippantly asked if he could help with that as well, (I REALLY DIDN"T EXPECT MUCH), not only was the pain gone at the end of the first visit, the hot flashes, although not totally gone, was scaled back to manageable after the third visit.
Dr. Craig Webb is very professional and knowledgeable and at the same time extremely caring, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who has pain and had no relief elsewhere, or better still, go see Craig first!

About four years ago i met Graig Webb, having had some lower back problems over the years I had purchased two acupuncture sessions from an auction in The Vancouver Sun and it just happened that at the time I received them my back had gotten really bad, so bad in fact I was considering cancelling a family visit to Denmark because i couldn't face having to sit on a plane for 10-11 hours. When i walked in I had trouble walking and when i left after the first session i had no pain at all, that was certainly enough to convince me to come back even though the pain returned the next day, after about 5-6 sessions I was completely pain free and went on my trip with no problems at all, since then i have required only the occasional session for my back about every 6 to 8 months.
Those first sessions were my introduction to acupuncture I have since learned a lot more about this wonderful way of helping the body heal itself, Graig has helped me through some tough times with neck and shoulder pain and got me through having a tooth pulled with no pain at all but it isn't just aches and pains I have come to him with, most recently it was my complaints (whining) about hot flashes and weight gain from menopause that we worked on and i'm happy to say that after two sessions my hot flashes disappeared and have only now after 3 months slowly started again and the weight gain is under control and so is my cravings for sweets and the weight is coming down slowly.
I have to say that I am very impressed by this method of healing but i am also very fortunate to have found such a compassionate and skilled person in Craig, he always has time to listen and gives advice freely without judgement , even if it isnt always followed to the letter.
I can recommend not only this form of treatment but Craig Webb as a highly skilled and compassionate professional healer.
Sincerely

“Craig Webb has been treating me for various sports and workplace injuries for over 8 years. After hundreds of failed physio and chiropractor treatments for shoulder, lower back and neck injuries brought on by an active lifestyle of ice hockey, running, and tennis, I turned to acupuncture. I was initially both skeptical and nervous about the treatment but Craig was able to allay any fears I had and clearly explain the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. To anyone who has ever been ‘just another number’ in someone’s physio clinic where the practitioner hops from patient to patient but never really gets to your issue, Craig’s attentive one-on-one approach is a welcome change that actually yields results! I highly recommend his services”

"Dr. Webb¹s acupuncture treatments have brought me real relief from severe
acid reflux and a number of other chronic ailments. Like most people, I have
typically relied 100% on conventional western medicine to resolve any health
problems. Treatment options offered to me focused on my taking a variety of
prescription drugs. While the medicines did bring a level of relief from my
symptoms, I was determined to do more for myself and to become my own health
advocate to get to the source of my problem.
I explored health store remedies, exercised, went to massage therapy and listened to relaxation tapes to ease the tensions that brought on my severe reflux. However, it wasn¹t until I began acupuncture treatments with Dr.
Webb that I felt a sense of real relief. The cumulative impact of a series
of treatments with him has bolstered my enthusiasm and belief in the wisdom
and efficacy of acupuncture as a method to promote healing.

"I started seeing Craig for acupuncture to help prevent injuries during my training for a half iron man, and to decrease general stress. I don't recall ever feeling so relaxed once treatment was underway. To top it off I remained injury free for my race (unusual for me!). Once I stopped seeing Craig due to my busy schedule, I had an injury in my next race - a torn soleus muscle. I went to see him again, still hobbling badly despite intensive icing, massage and physio sessions. He did a treatment and put a herb poultice on. The very next day I could walk almost without a limp, and the pain and swelling around my ankle had decreased dramatically. I was extremely impressed with the results."

Dr, Craig Webb,
I would like to thank you for helping me with my digestion problems. Everything is working much better. I feel that my digestion tract has settled down.
Also, I have been singing lately. I have never done that before. I am not a morning person and for me to be singing is something else. I felt emotionally OK after I came to see you and feel I must have had some kind of emotional release. Thank you for being supportive and listening to me.
