    ABOUT my PRACTICE

    Paige Sheffield

    L.Ac, Dipl. O.M.

    Translating your personal ecology with acupuncture + botanicals here in SE Idaho

     

    Let me help you look at your health thru the lens of nature and the ancient wisdom of classical Chinese medicine. I trained in nature-based Neijing tradition, which treats the body as an extension of the cosmos we live in. The Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — are not abstractions, but as much a part of you as the mountain, sun, soil, granite, and rivers that shape our daily life here in SE Idaho.Botanical medicine combined with acupuncture can help you find relief from a wide variety of chronic health issues. From MCAS, POTS to menopausal hormonal imbalances, we can work together to help you get your life back. What if your chronic back pain may be helped without surgery?When you start to think of your own body as an ecological climate where internal rivers and watersheds need to flow. These are called meridians in TCM and were documented anatomically over 2400 years ago in the Neijing which is the source text for much of modern day acupuncture practice.

    Take the Constitutional Quiz above to uncover some of the things that your body may be communicating to you. You will receive an email with a detailed look at your personal ecology through the lens of Traditional East Asian Medicine.

    Paige is so awesome. It was refreshing to be able to discuss my daughter’s condition of TSW with someone who did the research and genuinely wanted to help in providing her relief from the debilitating symptoms. Since starting treatment here my daughter’s full body skin inflammation is starting to heal. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for this treatment. I will be continuing to go here on her healing journey and would not hesitate to recommend anyone struggling with chronic conditions or inflammation. Thank you Paige!

    We are thrilled to have found Paige. My husband has been struggling with kidney stones for the past few years, and he received acupuncture and herbs from Paige while passing his last stone that completely relieved his pain and allowed the stone to pass quickly. In addition, she helped him with the pain in his wrists and hands from the extensive typing and computer work. We highly recommend her and look forward to more visits with her in the future.

    Paige has been providing exceptional treatment for my neck, shoulders, and feet over the past several months. I have experienced significant improvement in all three areas, thanks to her expertise and deep knowledge of acupuncture. She upholds the highest professional standards in her practice, and I have found her to be both engaging and attentive to my needs and concerns.

    Paige is amazing. I have been having a terrible back pain for the past 4 years after hurting my back at a gym. I visited many doctors but it didn't work. I tried all kinds of remedies, muscle relaxants, pain pills and massages but they only gave me a temporary relief. I was tired of it that I gave up. Last week I decided to give it one more shot. She listened to my problems and she was really empathetic. She gave me one session. Two days later my back pain stopped. I thought it was just a temporary thing as the other remedies that I tried prior. The pain did not come back. One week later I'm still pain free. Today went to do another session to capitalize on it. For the first time in four years I don't have any back pain for at least a week. I will go back in the coming weeks for more sessions. Thanks Paige!

    I went to see Paige because I had low energy and digestive and sleep issues that I couldn’t resolve despite making all sorts of lifestyle and diet changes as well as trying hormone therapy. Within the first month my sleep improved and now after three months (9 visits) I’m back to sleeping through the night and waking up feeling fully rested! My appointment yesterday was a major breakthrough as I noticed a big improvement in my chronic back pain. I had to tell her: “I woke up with hardly any low back pain/stiffness today!!! I would say it’s at least 80% better! For all the stretching and exercises I have done over the years with no results, I feel like this is a true miracle!! I can forward bend and almost touch my palms to the floor with no pain, whereas before I could only reach my mid-calf and that was very uncomfortable. Thank you so much!!!! 💕” I highly recommend ModernAcu!

    If you are looking for someone who listens intently to your symptoms and is thoughtful about your whole body and how it is all connected, then look no further. Paige Sheffield is who you need to see. She helped me greatly during my difficult pregnancy and has always been very thorough and thoughtful with how and why she treats everything. I have always felt very comfortable and well cared for with her and would recommend her services to anyone interested in Acupuncture.

    Acupuncture with Paige has been the most incredible blessing in my life. I'm especially grateful she been able to balance out my cycle. The current culture has women taking pills to mask symptoms while Paige has helped me get to the root of the problem and heal from the inside out. Would absolutely recommend for everyone and particularly urge women and teen girls to seek her for cultivating female wellness.

    Amazing!!! I'm blown away by the quick and efficient way my body has responded to acupuncture. I was very open to the process and had no idea what to expect, but it's really been unbelievable! Thank you, Paige for starting this journey with me! 🩷🩷 If you've tried everything, not sure how to move forward, try acupuncture! I highly recommend ModernAcu!
