Wild Elements Acupuncture & Asian Medicine - Knoxville, Tennessee

I met Amber 5 years ago when I came down with plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk and the pain was terrible. Regular medical treatment did not help it. After several treatments by Amber it was completely gone. Fast forward 5 years…. It came back so I returned to Amber. But now the older me has multiple issues including IBS -D which was severely and negatively impacting my life. Amber showed her incredible knowledge about human behavior, life changes and how these things impact life. IBS-D is a very personal thing to discuss with anyone, but she allowed me to feel comfortable to do this. She treats me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs… and I’m not afraid to leave my home any more, it’s manageable now. And let me add that my foot was healed within 2 treatments. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker my entire career. I know a few things about human behavior and the cycles of life. I have never met a medical professional who took the time to listen and fully understand me and what my needs are like Amber does. She works WITH you and it is evident that she puts her heart and soul into what she does. She gives relevant and easily accessible things to help you. No physician did this! I’ll add 1 more thing… Amber gave me additional treatment aids to use at home and I am faithful into doing these because I really want to be better… and I am. Amber is excellent at her craft and I appreciate her greatly.

Amber is kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I've been getting acupuncture from her for close to a year now and it has been worth every penny. Even when I come in holding a lot of stress or anxiety, I always feel much better after a session with Amber. Highly recommend!

Amber is a sweetheart! She listens carefully and is knowledgeable and compassionate.
My certain auto immune problems did not respond to acupuncture, but I still feel time was not wasted. I would definitely go back in the future for other issues.

Amber is truly gifted at what she does. She is kind, thoughtful, and is an incredible acupuncturist. I can not recommend her and the practice highly enough. She is professional and has deep knowledge and understanding for how to treat just about anything that ails you. I’ve been to other practitioners who were good, but Amber is next level. All of the practitioners at Wild Elements are just incredible. Just go. You won’t regret it!

I cannot thank Amber enough for the compassionate, expert care she provided me about a year ago. Her kindness and expertise is unmatched, and the acupuncture and gua sha was extremely helpful as I was struggling to recover from two years on crutches along with two hip surgeries. And due to previous back surgeries, she went above and beyond to ensure my comfort in positioning during treatments, and was sure to inquire about and complement the treatment I was also receiving in PT at the time. She was also awesome with scheduling, as my PT was located just around the corner, and even squeezed me in at the last minute on multiple occasions.

And she and her staff (which included her wonderful mother), even offered me an impromptu birthday celebration, which really lifted my spirits during this difficult recovery. I can't imagine any other practitioner going to such great lengths for a pt. I also really appreciated her sensitivity to Covid policies as I was high-risk and she consistently took this into account. There's no better practice in town, and Amber is truly a special soul whose presence alone greatly enhances her practice.

I'll also add that Amber was great about always promptly providing super bills to be submitted to my insurance. Don't waste your time/money going elsewhere--this is the place to be. Hope to see you soon, Amber.

I am so grateful to have connected with Amber Collins last November (2022) and to benefit from the knowledge, wisdom, and care she brings to her practice. It's deeply evident that she loves the work she does and can offer helpful insight in the placement of needles (not just in the spot that hurts) and also with intuitive response.

I had not received acupuncture in over three years when I started treatments with Amber. I was WAY over due. I felt the positive impact of treatment on my sciatica and migraine conditions months ago. I am now super happy to report my qi is in such balance that I completely conk out when I get to the table each week--falling into a restful acupuncture nap, where 10 minutes rest can feel more like an hour.

Acupuncture is a special and powerful treatment that is most beneficial with regularity and commitment. Amber makes this commitment very easy to lean into with her supportive and meet-you-where-you-are approach. I have had the fortune of receiving acupuncture from practitioners in WA, OR, AZ, NM, NY, TX, and BC. I am so happy that Amber is practicing in my new home state of TN.

I can’t recommend Amber enough! She took the time to really talk to me and connect at the first appointment, and has continually shown immense caring about me as a whole person. The treatments I have received have had a positive impact on me physically, as well as emotionally and energetically. Amber has helped to bring a sense of calm and balance to my mind and body through her healing work, and I’m thankful to have found her.

I highly recommend Wild Elements Acupuncture! I have an autoimmune disorder and lived in chronic pain. I’d been to several doctors and had lost hope of ever living a normal life again. I went there in tears and Amber comforted me and truly listened. She is a truly special person and has given me a level of care I’ve never received from any doctor. My pain has decreased significantly and I have more energy. I can’t wait for my appointment with Amber each week. She will probably never know how much this treatment has meant to me. What ever ails you, I know she can can help. She gives great advice for overall health and if you listen to her you will feel better guaranteed!
