Dr. Amy Thornton

Dr. Amy has been involved in the healing arts since 2003. Her years as a holistic health practitioner and massage therapist led her along many different paths, discovering myriad healing techniques and her own gift of helping others.

  In the first few years of practicing bodywork Dr. Amy realized it could only take her clients so far. So, she enrolled at Pacific College of Health Sciences to embark on the path to becoming a Chinese medicine practitioner. This four and a half year process helped evolve her skills as a healer and pushed her into working at a deeper,  more comprehensive level with the body, mind and spirit. She has been focused on orthopedic acupuncture for chronic pain patients since 2018 and is highly skilled at alleviating musculoskeletal issues.

 Dr. Amy prides herself on being open-minded and enjoys working with people from every walk of life, orientation and gender identity. She is kink, LGBTQ+ and polyamory knowledgeable.

    I am a disabled veteran and 99% pain free! Priceless! ALL my doctors told me my injuries resulted in chronic pain: back, migraine, hip, shoulder/neck and tennis elbow! The only issue Amy has not been able to resolve is tennis elbow BUT only Amy suggested an MRI! The result is 3 tears in ligament!!! Duh!

    I’ve been receiving weekly treatments for 5 months so far and unless I run on pavement I have NO pain! Even before my monthly cycle NO MIGRAINE! Unbelievable! I am very happy!

    I found Amy last year, initially for massage for a variety of problems. Plantar Fasciitis and stress. Amy is such a nice person, funny, easy to be around. She is the first person who performed acupuncture on me and she helped me beyond what I ever thought possible. I've tried other acupuncturist since (I live in NYC most of the year) and can't find anyone of Amy's caliber. She is very gifted and I can't recommend her enough not only for her abilities but for her the compassion she exhibits in practice.

    Amy treated my hip recently. I could barely walk beforehand. She used infrared and stim-acupuncture (with some electricity) on my key areas. I healed much faster than I expected and was able to walk without problems through the airports where I was headed in only a couple days. Thank you!! (I was not paid and got no freebies for this testimonial...she's just that good!)
