Much more than an acupuncturist, Chris Randle has unrivaled "hands", knowledge of the mind/body connection, and is a patient listener tying all the pieces together. After my once-a-month treatments for whatever may be bothering me at the moment, I always feel relieved and refreshed. Chris was recommended to me by my friend, Jan, and I have since referred my 2 daughters to him. Office manager, Perla, always has a welcoming smile and an efficiency that I appreciate. My health plan includes acupuncture, but I would rather pay out-of-pocket for real results that I can count on, and that would be from Chris!

I am a senior citizen with an autoimmune disease, sacral bulging discs, and degenerative scoliosis. For months I have been hobbling around in pain with significant mobility impairment. I started seeing Chris with the hope of getting some relief. Chris is excellent he knows what he's doing and he's really good at it. I am very grateful to be receiving his care and expertise. The first and second time I saw him I had noticeable improvement. The third time I got home and my right leg just ached and ached. I took a pain pill and rested. A few hours later the pain had gone and I was able to walk better than I had in months—amazing! I learned that discomfort after a treatment can mean things are moving in the right direction and is certainly worth it.


I can certainly recommend OCA.

Worth every penny. Healed my lower back injury and the problems that came with it, possibly saving my Division 1 swim career. I feel weightless in the water and my swim training hasn't been this consistent in years. Hospitality and front desk text management is also wonderful.

I went in hoping to find a solution/get some relief from upper back and neck pain, and pretty severe headaches. Went in hurting and came out completely relieved! I'm astonished. I was also kind of leery of the needles, due to a prior experience I had at a different acu clinic, but Jennifer was calming, reassuring, and clearly an expert in her field.

I started seeing Jennifer Taylor for a knee injury two months after I fell HARD on the sidewalk. I was in constant pain, wasn't walking correctly, and felt that, between my injury and the pandemic, my leg was atrophying! My very first appointment with Jennifer was a total transformation!! I felt HUGE relief, could move more freely, and had an 80% reduction in knee pain. It took maybe only a few more weekly visits to get my knee back in working order.

Now I go see Jennifer each week because I know how good she is - her acupuncture skills can address anything I throw at her! She's relieved my: peri-menopause symptoms as well as menstrual cramps, anxiety and depression, kidney and adrenal problems, digestive issues, and sleep challenges.

Jennifer holds a wealth of healing knowledge and experience. I recommend Jennifer and her awesome acupuncture skills to you and anyone with a body!

CHHIMED

I was in so much pain I couldn´t walk or stand on my feet and it was difficult to walk up stairs. I could barely walk into OCA, but after the first treatment I could walk up stairs without holding onto the railings. And by the fourth treatment I was moving without limping anymore.

LINDA

I wanted to put in a good word for the excellent Shiatsu massage I received from Emily Leap. I went to her to deal with one of those particularly stressful moments that life can throw at you. It was wreaking havoc on my body. The massage was wonderful. I left feeling more balanced, grounded, relaxed and ready to take care of myself.

It is a rare thing to find a true healer: Someone that can look at the body holistically, discover where your pain originates, and treat it in the moment. If you live with pain, you understand what a blessing it is to find some relief and how important it is to connect with a practitioner you trust. Chris Randle at Oakland Community Acupuncture is one such healer.
