“I’ve seen acupuncture improve the quality of life for everyday people,” Luke Matsuda. “My own chronic lower back pain was healed with acupuncture, which inspired me to become an acupuncturist. I am honored to bring this kind of supplemental treatment to help the people of Carbon and Emery counties feel better.”
