PATIENT STORIES

Real Results from Real Patients

Hear from people in Durham who found relief with Jon E. Walker, L.Ac.

"I've been going to Bull City Acupuncture for a couple of months for arthritis in my neck. I've been to chiropractors and physical therapists with no improvement. I now have more mobility and far less pain. I admit I was skeptical about going but I have had some amazing results! Jon Walker is caring and very thorough."

Patti

Durham, NC

"After suffering from severe back pain for a couple years, I found my pain was coming from a muscle pressing against my sciatic nerve. I tried several months of PT with little relief. I felt some relief after the first visit with Jon. After several more visits, his procedures have loosened the muscle to where my sciatic nerve is no longer causing back and leg pain. Thanks so much!"

Lana

Durham, NC

"I wanted to take the time to say how impressed I am with the treatment I have received from Jon. As a western trained clinician, I can say that vestibular disorders and myofascial pain disorders are difficult to diagnose and treat. I am grateful to have found this practice and incredibly pleased with the treatments so far. Jon has a wonderful bedside manner and treats his patients with utmost respect."

Dr. Mary Dorsey, R.Ph. PharmD., BCPS

Durham, NC

"Within the first week of treatment, I noticed an improvement in my sleep pattern. I started to fall asleep faster, waking less often during the night. As our treatments continued, for the first time in years I was starting to sleep through the night without the regular use of Ambien. Now, a month and a half since we finished treatments, I'm sleeping well. Jon is a skilled practitioner, a good listener, and a compassionate person."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about acupuncture at Bull City Acupuncture

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Jon uses only sterile, single-use, disposable needles opened fresh for each patient and immediately disposed of after use. He is fully licensed and board-certified in North Carolina. Acupuncture has an excellent safety record when performed by a trained practitioner.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. The needles are hair-thin — nothing like a typical injection. You may feel a slight sensation when a needle is inserted, but most people find sessions deeply relaxing. Many patients even fall asleep during treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on your condition, health history, and goals. Some patients notice improvement after just one or two sessions. Chronic conditions may benefit from a series of treatments. Jon will outline a personalized treatment plan after your consultation and adjust as you progress.

What conditions can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help with a wide range of conditions: back pain, neck pain, arthritis, headaches, migraines, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues (IBS, acid reflux), infertility, seasonal allergies, high blood pressure, eczema, and more. If you're not sure whether it can help your condition, just ask Jon during your free consult.

Will my insurance cover acupuncture?

Many insurance plans now include acupuncture coverage. Contact your insurance provider to check your specific benefits. Jon can provide documentation to help with reimbursement. A free 15-minute consultation is available regardless of insurance status.

How should I prepare for my first appointment?

Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your appointment and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs. Arrive ready to discuss your full health history and any current concerns. Jon takes time to understand your complete picture before beginning treatment.
