I have cervical dystonia and receive a lot of treatments for pain management but Gina's acupuncture is by far my favorite and the only one I look forward to. Each session she tailors treatment on my current pain locations and it gets me through the weeks! Everyone there knows your name and really seems to care!

Gina is AMAZING! She helped me when I felt my worst! I am so much better now and will continue to see her! Won’t do life without her!

Besides just being an all-around rockstar of a human being, Gina's acupuncture treatments have greatly enhanced the quality of my life! I work in the field of evidence-based medicine and have learned about the amazing results with many conditions particularly pain, reproductive, and allergies. It is a shame that there is not funding for large scale studies so that the benefits of acupuncture can be shared and promoted more widely with greater credibility. Gina has treated and helped me with numerous conditions including back and neck pain, allergies, vocal polyps, uterine fibroids, anxiety, and tinnitus. In fact, after suffering for months with pulsatile tinnitus, a side effect of a severe upper respiratory infection, my ears popped immediately half-way through the first treatment and my symptoms resolved completely within a few weeks. For those that are new to acupuncture, it is important to understand that acupuncture treatments are dose dependent like most interventions. Therefore, you will likely need to make a commitment to weekly (or even twice weekly, depending on the condition) for 5 to 12 weeks to see long term results. Most of the evidence in the world medical literature support this concept along with my own personal experience. I strongly recommend Acupuncture of Columbia for its health outcome effectiveness, kind staff, and relaxing environment. You will not be disappointed.

Shingles and the nerve pain that can follow (PHN) - is there any real hope for improvement? Yes! Acupuncture works and there are medical studies that prove it. I came to Gina a month after being diagnosed with shingles. The pain meds from doctors had not lessened my pain at all and they came with unwanted side effects. I could not stand for anything to touch my skin where the pain was - not my clothes, not the bedding, not even a loose hair that had fallen out of my head. They all caused intense pain. When I first started treatments here, the pain was horrible. Now at the end of my treatments, I feel like 98% of my pain is gone (and all I did was lie on a soft, warm table and almost dose off!). If you’ve got PHN, you’ve got to come see Gina. Don’t wait because that can make your recovery take longer and be more expensive. Gina is genuine and remembers conversations she has with you and will ask about those things/people at your next visit. Gina is encouraging and always asking how you're doing so she can better decide how to treat you. Everyone here calls you by name, too. You'll quickly feel like you're among friends!

Gina and her team gave me a new chance at life I never thought possible. I struggled with UTIs for years and tried everything...going to specialists, taking antibiotics, taking various supplements, and changing my diet and lifestyle. NOTHING. WORKED. The constant stream of UTIs left me feeling anxious and seriously impacted my quality of life and the relationships in my life. I had to miss out on so much because my UTIs kept me confined to the bathroom. At my first visit with Gina, I came in crying because my spirit was so broken, and now after nine months of treatment, I come in crying happy tears because I haven't felt this good in YEARS!!! My UTIs are gone, my menstrual cycle has never been better, and I feel amazing! I so highly recommend Gina and her team. Try it out, you won't regret it! If I could give them six stars I would!

The team at Acupuncture of Columbia is a delight! They always greet you with a smile and the atmosphere is amazing. I can't recommend their services enough if you're having pain with no relief from other forms of treatment.

I had a wonderful experience with Acupuncture of Columbia. I was in Columbia because a family member was having a medical procedure and started having severe pain in my hip/back/sciatica. They were able to get me in super fast and helped me so much. I super appreciated that they would see me knowing that I wouldn’t be a long term client due to actually living far away! Thank you, Gina! You are amazing! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel so welcome and comfortable!

Acupuncture of Columbia and Gina's wisdom have supported me in having a healthy menstrual cycle, creating stress relief, and, most recently, in healing a fractured foot. Also, the staff here are always so kind and professional. Most importantly, Gina's precise understanding of the body's systems and how energy moves in our body means that every session I leave feeling so rested and so vibrantly healthy. I highly recommend receiving acupuncture at Acupuncture of Columbia for whole health of body, mind and energy!

Gina saved my breath, if not my life when I began seeing her for uncontrolled asthma more than 5 years ago. After one treatment, I was able to breathe more freely than I believed possible. Soon, with physician approval, I stopped daily high dose steroids and 2 inhalers I'd taken for years. I've seen her once per month ever since to maintain these gains.

Acupuncture of Columbia, Inc. is the place to be for healing the past and the present for a healthy future here and now. I started going to Gina Butler for help with numerous symptoms, triggered by an in-depth call for healing, by my body, hosting a skeletal system violated in my childhood. It's been a long healing journey, and it has moved miraculously, thanks to Gina being a key healer, on my team, with her acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I appreciate her greatly, along with her welcoming and caring staff! ❤️

Gina is very kind, professional and knowledgeable. Staff if very polite and helpful. Office and treatment rooms are clean, light and music are very pleasant and calming. I made 10 sessions of acupuncture and want to take 10 more (once a week). The best experience!

Gina is an AMAZING HEALER!!! I met her 2 years ago after a traumatic event that left me with PTSD. After not sleeping for months due to nightmares, severe anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks and a nervous system that was stuck in fight or flight, I found relief that I desperately needed. I remember thinking I didn't even know if I could make the 45 minute drive to my first appointment because the images/flashbacks in my mind were so bad and they were constant. Gina listened with a kind open heart and assured me she could help. I felt like I was sharing with a real friend. In the first session, I could tell something was happening within me but I wasn't clear what it was. I was more relaxed for sure. Driving home I was shocked because it was a pleasant drive! The debilitating flashbacks were all but gone and that night I slept without nightmares for the first time! I cried many, many times before seeing Gina again because she had quite literally saved my life. I needed those things to STOP before I could do anything to help myself. I believe I did 10 sessions and herbs for a very reasonable price, especially when the treatment gets to the root of the problem rather than just treating some symptoms. Gina more than exceeded my expectations as a person and a healer. I will be forever grateful to her. I recently contacted Gina again for the ulna nerve problem I was having after having surgery 7 months ago on my elbow. The pain and weakness has continued to worsen. I have now had 3 sessions with Gina and it has improved tremendously. My last session reduced the pain even more than I thought possible. I'm very confident I am in the right place for the healing my body needs. I look forward to every visit. The office staff is always so kind, warm and greet me by name which I really appreciate. That alone says to me, "You are important to us."

Acupuncture of Columbia is the most restful and aesthetically pleasing healing environment I have ever encountered. The office staff exude a calming and welcoming presence, and Gina embodies professional excellence, balanced with enthusiasm and peaceful confidence. Every session is like a spa treatment, and I feel spoiled and so privileged to be on the receiving end of such wonderful care. Thank you for the intentional and excellent service that you provide, it means so much.

I recently completed 10 acupuncture sessions with Gina to treat plantar fasciitis. If you have ever had plantar fasciitis you know it can be very painful! I have a 98% relief in pain. This was my first experience with acupuncture and pleased I tried it. I would definitely have acupuncture again in the future. The staff members are all very nice adding to my positive experience. The office/patient areas are very relaxing and comfortable which also enhanced whole experience. Thank you Gina,

I have been seeing Gina for about two year now and when I first started with her I was have anywhere from 2 to 3 migraines a month. Once I started my treatment Gina got me into such a great place that I was maybe having one migraine a month if even that. With her treatments I was in such a great spot. Then once I found out I was pregnant I started getting bad migraines again and with being limited on what I was able to take nothing was working for me. Gina came to the rescue. I started seeing her once a week and she gave me some tacks to use in between visits if I started to have a bad headache/migraine. She properly showed me where I could place the tacks and they have been a life saver. Tylenol wasn’t working for me but ever since I started using the tacks I haven’t had to use Tylenol. Thank you Gina for everything you have done!

Gina has helped my body get back in balance with itself. I am always rejuvenated after my therapy with Gina and so much less stressed out. I also appreciate her ability to mix special herbs for specific ailments. All of her services are absolutely worth it. I will also soon try the massage therapist too.

I have been going to Acupuncture of Columbia for several months and have seen a difference in my body. Today I went in with a terrible migraine and Gina was so kind and caring. She worked her magic with her placement of the needles and I walked out feeling like a new woman! The migraine was gone and I couldn’t be more grateful!

This is by far the best experience I have ever had in my life. I found healing in my mind, body, and soul. It brought me peacefulness, and calmness. A lot of care has been put into the experience that you feel, see & hear I was cleansed from a lot of stress that I was carrying. Sam is comforting and pleasant. Marissa is efficient and polite. Gina is one of a kind genuine, intelligent, and kind❣️ (EVERYONE should experience this at least once in their life.)

I started seeing Gina in February while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Acupuncture has made my neuropathy and chemo induced nausea much more tolerable. It’s also helped with stress and insomnia from the steroids I’m taking with treatment.

Since I have been getting acupuncture I have not had to have any eye injections for my Macular Degeneration. The Retinal Specialist doesn’t believe that acupuncture makes any difference. I believe and no injections…I’m a happy camper! Gina is extremely professional and compassionate.

i highly, highly recommend acupuncture of columbia. i have suffered chronic neck pain for three years without long term relief from any therapy i had attempted (physical therapy, chiropractic work, varieties of exercise, medication, muscle relaxers, radiofrequency nerve ablation, and more) and honestly (though mistakenly) saw acupuncture of columbia as a last ditch effort. since beginning my treatment in september of 2022, i have seen an unbelievable improvement in my quality of life. (as a college student, it’s pretty difficult when simply going to class requires the majority of my pain-free hours.) i am now able to remain pain free for a full month between treatments, a milestone i truly never believed i would reach. gina and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and truly make my mornings better on days when i come in. my treatment plan has been clearly communicated to me from the start. i feel very well-informed of my own health and progress, and feel cared for on the more difficult days. if you live in columbia and have been considering acupuncture, i enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend acupuncture of columbia.

I am forever grateful to Gina for helping me with an internal pain that no one could diagnose, back/neck pain and getting my hair to grow back. Laying on her table is the most relaxed I have ever been in my life, it's almost hard to explain unless you try. For me, when I walk out of her office I have pain relief, and the feeling you get after meditation and a power nap!

I would highly recommend seeing Gina! When I started seeing her for acupuncture in December of 2019, I was experiencing constant fatigue and hadn’t had a menstrual cycle in almost 9 months. After just 2 appointments(2 weeks) my energy started to return, my mind was clearer and I was back on a regular cycle. I continue to feel better(and have a regular cycle) and the longer I see her and I no longer feel fatigued during the day! Her bedside manner is warm and caring and she always puts me in the best mood:)

Gina is awesome! She is so kind and really cares about her patients. Acupuncture helped me through the first half of my pregnancy when I felt miserable with early pregnancy symptoms. It relieved a lot of nausea and anxiety and I am incredibly grateful. Her staff are very nice, helpful and welcoming. The whole experience is relaxing and was truly one of the best parts of my weeks! I will be back for more! Highly recommend.

Since I was very young I have battled migraines. It finally got so bad that I was averaging 3 debilitating migraines a week. I would sit under my desk at work with the lights out and try not to cry or throw up. I decided to start seeing Gina after doctors, MRIs, neurologists, allergists, chiropractors and all the meds never worked. My only regret is that I didn’t go to her sooner!!! Finally in my 30’s after 20+ years of battling migraines, acupuncture has gotten me down to less than 5 A YEAR! Gina has been life changing for me! And it’s also great that she happens to be the sweetest person in the world too!
