For many, the relentless cycle of chronic pain, migraines or other persistent health issues leads down a frustrating path of tests, medications and invasive procedures. Often, leading to more side effects than solutions.

For one Montgomery acupuncturist, that very struggle became the catalyst for a career dedicated to offering a different way—a path to healing that empowers the body's own restorative abilities. This is the story behind Clear Choice Acupuncture and Wellness and its owner, Alyson Bayer, a science-minded healer with a passion for changing lives.

The journey to opening her own practice was deeply personal. A human biology major with a minor in biochemistry, she was no stranger to science. However, it was her lifelong battle with debilitating migraines, which she has endured since the age of 9, that led her to explore holistic medicine.

“I went to an acupuncturist, and she completely changed my life,” Bayer said. “I still get migraines, but I went from having them twice a week to about once a year. That experience was a revelation, and I knew I wanted to do this and help people in the same way.”

This personal victory solidified her mission: to help others live a life free from the constraints of pain and pharmaceutical dependence.

Addressing common misconceptions

For those new to holistic medicine, the world of acupuncture can seem mysterious, often surrounded by persistent myths. Bayer is passionate about dispelling these misunderstandings to help patients make confident and informed decisions about their health.

A frequent question from prospective patients concerns the qualifications and educational background of practitioners. In reality, licensed acupuncturists are highly trained professionals held to rigorous standards.

“All acupuncturists in the state of Texas at a minimum have a master’s in acupuncture and herbal medicine,” Bayer said. “We go through a minimum of eight years of schooling. We're also licensed under the Texas Medical Board.”

Perhaps the most common myth is that the treatments’ benefits are not real, but simply the result of a placebo effect. While a positive mindset is a powerful component of any healing journey, Bayer refutes this idea.

She points to the therapy’s thousands of years of history and the wealth of international research proving its effectiveness, even if that research is not always widely publicized in the United States.
