I always feel relaxed and calm and my pain is cut in half! Following a regular treatment plan by the acupuncturist really helped with my arthritis. Acupuncture helped me manage my pain and I made visits to Tranquilo as a regular part of my routine.

I had never done acupuncture before, but after injuring my back and nothing else seemed to help, I thought I would give it a try. Tranquilo's treatment plan was unique; I can’t say enough great things. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing time! The acupuncturist made my experience very relaxing and enjoyable. I am definitely booking another appointment and have already recommended Tranquilo to my family and friends!

Dr. Vasanthakumar is very caring, friendly and a wonderful acupuncturist. She has helped my mom with frozen shoulder, back pain and other health issues. She is amazing and knowledgeable at what she does. I would highly recommend her!
