Jane of Blossom Acupuncture is fantastic for all your aches and pains. I've pretty much been a regular client this whole year.
Getting old stinks or the pandemic did a number on me. Luckily, Jane has tons of patience as I described all my ailments. Her expertise is great as she knows exactly where to apply the needles to various parts of my body. To those who are new to acupuncture, the needles aren't sharp and don't puncture through the skin, more like the needle serves as a tool to help with pressure points.
Jane also knows what herbs/herbal supplements to recommend and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need. She also has great bedside manners and is mindful of room temperature, ergonomics, and etc. to ensure a positive visit.
Blossom Acupuncture is located in a tiny clutter with other health services, but rest assured, there is minimal contact with anyone else. Jane does a great job of following COVID safety protocols and I never worry about cleanliness. Ample parking in the back and conveniently located near downtown Alameda, police station, and public library.
Jane also accepts some insurance, always call to ask if yours is accepted. Thank you Jane/Blossom Acupuncture for all your help!

Jane is the best and really good at what she does. I've been having neck and fertility issues and she was able to address it all. I've been to several acupuncturists and she is the real deal.

I had a pain on my ankle for over a year and now it's completely gone!! I had no idea that acupuncture could help me with that.
I lost a lot of weight, more than 40 pounds!. I'm so happy with Jane. She changed my life for good. I always have good energy and this also calms down my anxieties!
.. And I will keep going....:) - Angeline Y.San Francisco, CA131Jun 30, 2014Updated review
Here's a quick update: since my first visit, I discovered the ankle pain is actually dancer's tendinitis. Jane has been so helpful in taking the time and care to treat my inflamed flexor hallucis longus. It was Jane that suggested that was my problem at my initial visit, but I dismissed it, because it sounded serious. In any case, she was right. I have been going about once a week for the last few weeks. Because acupuncture, by itself, will not heal me completely, it is a great addition to any recovery program. So, along with seeing Jane, I am giving myself soft-tissue massage at home and doing RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) and doming exercises to strengthen my arches. Acupuncture brings me deep relaxation and a heightened awareness to what my body is telling me it needs to heal.
Needless to say, Jane is helping me to recover dramatically. I have had a huge reduction in pain and my ankles are healing faster than I could have hoped for. For my issue, she uses electro stimulation, where a small electric pulse is generate between two needles. I know it sounds painful, but it just feels like a slight tap tap tapping and it has done wonders in moving the chi in my locked-up muscles. Even a week after treatment, I can still feel the tap tap tapping, as if my nerves are still doing the work to recover the tissue damage and inflammation.
I am so happy with the service at Blossom Acupuncture, that I have referred two friends to her already.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0May 23, 2014Previous reviewThis was my first time getting acupuncture, so I was a bit nervous about being stuck with needles. My mom referred me to Jane Tong, after having fractured her tailbone, she went to see Jane for treatments and had a faster recovery.
At the first visit, Jane took the time to ask about my medical history, sleep habits, eating and exercise habits, and asked if there is anything in particular that I would like to work on at that session. I complained of some ankle and back soreness from dance training due to an anterior pelvic tilt that I am working on correcting in dance technique class.
The treatment began and after a few quick inhales and exhales, all the needles were in and I was on my way to relaxing. I am talking deep, deep relaxation. She went into the other room, and began treatment on my boyfriend, whom I had dragged along as part of a going away gift from my mother (I'm heading to grad school for dance). I laid there listening to relaxing music for about 20 minutes during which I could feel the passages opening up in body and energy traveling through channels in body (I maybe more sensitive to this kind of thing because I was looking to relax the muscles that I work so hard during the week). The hip issue suddenly spoke to me and I could feel a deep connection to my psoas muscle and then the muscles under the back of my leg began to speak to the psoas and I realized my own body was giving me the solution to my hip alignment issue. I had to respect the connection of the psoas muscle to the spine and pelvis and the supporting leg muscles in order to align my pelvis.
All of this happened in the time of 20 minutes. When Jane came back, she took the needles out and we did cupping on my back and some Tui Na for the back pain I complained about. My back feels much better. I know that seems simple to say, but its more like I can feel my back as part of my body, and my awareness keeps it in good health and feeling good. I just feel like I can feel my body more, that I am more in tune with it.
Afterwards, I slowly tried to get up but I felt too relaxed so I laid down for another 10 minutes. On the way out, she offered some herbal medicine, which is a formula from the 11th century (I looked it up and researched each herb, I like to know what is going in my body). So far I feel more relaxed with those herbs, but I believe that if I expect long-term benefits, I will have to make sure I am living a life that is conducive to receiving the benefits of natural medicine and stick to taking care of myself (no pun intended!).
I went home and napped for 3.5 hours and then went to sleep again through the night. In the days following, I felt like I could sleep for three days straight. It has been a week so far and I am definitely more aware of my body and its tiredness from the way that I use my body in dance training as well as in daily living. There is a limited supply energy, and my body needs to rest, so I would say that the first session brought my consciousness to how my body deserves its rest.
I plan to go back every three-four weeks until I leave for school. I recommend Jane, as she is very methodical, patients, and knowledgeable. She has a website that lists the extensive training she has had with doctors at Stanford, CPMC, and bi-lingual clinics. She is also a certified medical translator, and very happy to explain Chinese terms that would otherwise be very esoteric or mysterious to most people who don't have any exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine. - Ro S.Alameda, CA021Jul 30, 2019
Jane, is definitely a healer. I saw her today for the very first time and felt her healing power right away. Thank you, for the instant relief of my neck pain.

I have been going to Blossom acupuncture for over 6 months. I had been going to the chiropractor and receive medicine for my back from my primary care physician. When I started my sessions I could not touch my toes and had terrible back pain. Jane is professional, kind and thoughtful and asked detailed questions regarding my pain points. After four sessions I could touch my toes and to date I have no lower back pain. I call her my miracle doctor! I return routinely for shoulder pain and for stress. Jane is flexible and always accommodates my crazy schedule. Thank you Jane you have a patient for life!

Jane is a great acupuncturist. She did acupuncture on my shoulder and low back and they felt great. She also did cupping on my shoulder and back and they felt great and I felt immediate range of motion increase. I highly recommend her she is a great condition and does a great job at what she does.

Jane is a perfect blend of listening, knowledge, support, and calm. She customizes her treatment to my check-in, and exhibits a deep understanding of the connections amongst all the physical and psychological aspects. Finally found a perfect partner in TCM care.

I was in a terrible accident and I found this business on yelp. I spoke with Jane and she was kind and passionate to see me. Her techniques was calm and relaxing with needles that have electrodes to stimulate the nerves. She was awesome and I will continue my care with her until I am healed.

I like to utilize acupuncture as part of a whole system of self care for myself and working with Jane on doing this over the past 6 months+ has been such a pleasure.
I absolutely love having her as my acupuncturist! She is so kind, compassionate, highly knowledgeable and always open to sharing her vast knowledge of TCM with her clients.
Her passion for this work is evident and I have learned so much more than I thought I would about how to tune in to my body and understand its signals, achieve greater levels of health and nutrition w/ herbs, and so much more. I couldn't recommend Jane enough!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
