Testimonials

I’m an ex college Division I swimmer who became an Ironman triathlete and coach who had many training related issues. IT band friction syndrome, soleus pain, tight psoas, tight hip flexors, neck cramping in aero bars, my long hours of training were taking their toll on my body. I was frustrated because I couldn’t race or train at 100%. I noticed improvement after my first treatment with Darren Maynard. I have been to other acupuncturists and had minor success relieving symptoms, but they were never able to fix root of the problem. Acupuncture sessions with Darren give me immediate results, wether it is IT band pain or other aches and pains from training. Darren’s understanding of the body, sports related ailments and how to alleviate them never ceases to amaze me. I’m always much better after each session…. He is extremely knowledgeable and amazing at healing!!!

After the calf pain started I noticed I also had low back and knee pain.  I am an avid runner so I was feeling anxious, because I have always lived a very active lifestyle and my calf pain was making it difficult to not only exercise but to manage during work and daily activities. At first I noticed my calf pain was causing me to run slower, but then it started hurting just to walk. As a nurse I work on my feet all day and to not be able to move around comfortably was starting to effect my work. I noticed a change even after my first acupuncture treatment with Darren Maynard. My calves were much looser, and continued to feel better after each visit. My low back pain and knee pain also disappeared....I will definitely be seeing Darren Maynard for acupuncture treatments as I start upping my running distances!

I had several issues stemming from working out, such as knee pain and back pain, tight muscles and a very irregular period for over 2 years. I honestly felt that these were things I would have to get used to. I attributed my knee and back pain to age and felt it would progress as I got older. I found myself trying to avoid things that would exacerbate any tightness or pain. Including working out, I would only do certain exercises and I stopped working out anything that I thought would increase my knee pain. I noticed improvements after just a few sessions with Darren....he's extremely knowledgeable and patient. He explains everything that he is doing. I love that he also has a sports medicine background so he understands what my workouts entail and the effect that they have. I definitely never thought I'd be going to regular acupuncture, but Darren has made me a believer.

I have always been into fitness and working out but I started having hip pain. I wasn’t sure why the hip pain started, because I hadn’t been doing anything differently and I didn’t remember any particular event that would have caused the hip pain. I was very frustrated and depressed because I was limited in my workouts because of the hip pain. At work I found it very hard to sit for an extended period of time with a “sharp” pain in my hip region.  My workouts were not very productive because of the hip pain and I was getting very angry. After 3 visits with Darren Maynard I have full mobility in my hip, which is amazing.  I have more flexibility than I have ever had in my life.  I used to have a really tight and painful neck and shoulder area, but now the tension is gone and my workouts are very productive and I feel much better! I never thought I would get rid of the pain I had.  I have been to massage therapists and chiropractors and nothing helped as much as the last 3 weeks I have received acupuncture from Darren Maynard.

I had constant migraine headache for almost 1 year. I felt extremely frustrated and helpless because it seemed like no one could find a cure for my migraine. It became very difficult for me to concentrate on my daily activities, including school. My migraine was drastically affecting my sleep. I saw Darren Maynard twice a week for three weeks. What surprised me was that I did not even feel the needles, but I was more surprise how quickly I was seeing results. I can honestly say that after my first visit I noticed a decline in my migraine headache and the severity. After two weeks I noticed that my main focus and concentration was more on my daily activities and not my migraine pain. My migraine headaches were coming less frequently and were not as painful when they did occur. I also noticed that my sleep schedule was almost back on track. I feel like myself once again. I have more energy and can function at 100% all the time. Darren is DA BOMB!!!

My daughter was suffering from a severe non-stop headache for 1 year. We took her to every specialist you could think of. They ran every possible test and prescribed countless medications (of which I was not happy) and still the headache persisted. Finally we took her to the Maynard Clinic of Acupuncture and in 3 short weeks (6 visits) her headache was 90% gone. My Pumpkin is fine now Thanks to Darren Maynard. If you have any kind of pain, I highly recommend the Maynard Clinic of Acupuncture.

My child was suffering from chronic constipation, fluid in her ears & difficulty clearing mucus. I was concerned she was headed toward surgical ear tubes. It was difficult for her to be comfortable on a day to day basis, there were good days and some really tough days. Many parents would not consider acupuncture for children because of the needles - though Darren has an ability to treat patients without needles in an incredibly effective way. Darren Maynard is an exceptionally talented acupuncturist, he has a gift for connecting with children, allowing them to feel safe and happy. My child was never afraid of her appointments, in fact there is not one appointment where she didn't laugh.  After the initial appointment with Darren, our child showed incredible improvements.  We were surprised that it worked so quickly! The chronic constipation was resolved within just a few weeks and it has been about a year since our child has had any issues with fluid in her ears.  I am grateful for Darren and am no longer concerned with these conditions for our child.  I would recommend Darren to anyone.

I came to visit Darren Maynard at the Maynard Clinic of Acupuncture for my TMJ neck and shoulder tightness and pain. I have had this pain for years and I was very frustrated and worried that I would never find a solution to relieve the pain. My TMJ made it difficult to speak properly throughout the day.  I do a lot of public speaking and the tension from my jaw would pull it so out of alignment that my pronunciation of words was difficult because my teeth would no longer line up properly. After one treatment with Darren Maynard I felt immediate relief in my shoulders and neck....After 3 weeks of seeing Darren Maynard the TMJ issues I've been battling for years are virtually non-existent....I highly recommend Darren Maynard because he is extremely knowledgeable about how to treat issues.

I came to the Maynard Clinic seeking acupuncture treatment for shoulder pain.  I had extreme shoulder pain and hip pain.  I also had neck pain and back pain from years of football and other contact sports. I’m a fitness instructor who wasn’t able to train clients or myself. I was frustrated. I had come off of 8 months of physical therapy with little results, but after a few treatments of acupuncture my pain subsided and my shoulder was more mobile. I did five treatments at the Maynard Clinic over the course of five weeks, and was incredibly surprised at what a little needle in the right spot can do. I’m ecstatic about the results and the improvement I've experienced through my treatment at the Maynard Clinic of Acupuncture. Darren Maynard takes the time to work with you as an individual.
