“I have been seeing Todd at Charlotte Acupuncture over the last two years for severe back pain. I found his treatments to give me pain relief when my pain was at its worst, and I found him to be very professional and personable. Charlotte Acupuncture cares about their patients and went out of their way to accommodate my appointment time requests. I got great results and would highly recommend them.”
“In late summer 2009, I was suffering from extreme back pain and was tired of muscle relaxants and pain pills. I came to Charlotte Acupuncture (on a recommendation) and was amazed. All of my back pain was gone! I went again in December due to a mild flare up and have been great since! After being a Certified Medical Assistant for 12 years, I was a skeptic - but it worked - and my back has never felt better!”
“I used to have one migraine a week and sometimes more. They were horrible. Also, I have very dry skin and irregular bowel movements, lack of energy, low immune function, and depression--especially seasonal. Since I have been going to Charlotte Acupuncture, I have been feeling more emotionally balanced and calm. My energy is higher, and my bowel function has increased by about 50%. Oh, and no migraines! On occasion a light headache but no migraine!”
“I was plagued by migraine headaches for over 15 years and am now experiencing only a few mild headaches a week. I am off my daily medications and "rescue" headache drugs! I was skeptical at first, but on the advice of a good friend, called and made an appointment. I no longer worry about getting headache attacks and can enjoy daily activities that I was hesitant to enjoy before. The quality of care and attention to me as a ‘whole patient’ is unsurpassed!”
“I sought treatment over 2 years ago for management of migraine headaches. Within the first 2 months my headaches began to decrease in frequency, and I began to better understand and target some of my headache triggers. In addition to the treatment of headaches, I also experience relief from other conditions such as constipation, restless leg syndrome, and symptoms of menopause.”
“I was diagnosed with both endometriosis and peroneal nerve damage. I underwent surgery for the endometriosis and it helped alleviate the pain for only 4 months. Since the surgery did not help, I decided to give acupuncture a try. I started to feel much better after my first few sessions. The experience I had at Charlotte Acupuncture is unlike any other. They truly listen to your needs. I was accustomed to living my life with daily pain, and now I can happily say that I am pain free.”
“I started seeing Todd last year while pregnant. I had and still have a wonderful experience every time I'm in. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere, and Todd is more than helpful. I go in with pain and leave feeling like a new person!”
“After having my little boy, I developed carpel tunnel syndrome. Since I was nursing him, I was unable to take the supplements recommended for this condition, since they would pass through the breast milk. Acupuncture was my only hope. Two treatments improved my hands 75%, and within 3 treatments I had no more pain, numbness, or tingling in my hands. I was amazed! I continued acupuncture every other week and remained symptom free. I am so grateful.”
“I go for treatment for several conditions, but initially I went for pain from chronic tendonitis. Acupuncture has helped me minimize & manage the pain. I like acupuncture because there are virtually no side effects & the results come quickly.”
“As a first time acupuncture patient, I did not know what to expect. After my first treatment, I got more than I ever imagined! The staff is great at making you feel like a patient being cared for and not a rush job!”
“I was having complications with a case of tennis elbow. Two days after treatment, and ever since, the pain I had in my elbow has gone. Several years later, I had the same symptoms in my left arm. After one visit, the pain disappeared. I am so thankful for a small annoying pain in my elbow to be out of my life.”
“I was treated several times for pain in my foot. It would get worse for a day or so, then got much better - exactly as I was told it would. The overall experience and level of care received were excellent, certainly far better than a doctor's visit. I always felt respected and was treated with great care and compassion.”
"I have experienced TMJ pain for over 30 years and have avoided traditional surgery and muscle relaxing therapies for relief. While going through some especially stressful times these past few years, my grinding and clenching became so painful I found it difficult to open my jaw wide enough to eat a sandwich. Ibuprofen became a daily necessity. I was also receiving treatment for depression and anxiety and the last thing I wanted was to add more pills to my routine. After doing some research I went to Charlotte Acupuncture and worked with Todd. His approach to my treatment was very professional and Todd brings a great deal of medical knowledge to the plan. He does not 'oversell' the service, is very supportive by partnering with you in your treatment development and shows a high level of integrity and knowledge. He inspires confidence through a very calm and reasonable approach. The very best part of the treatment for me was the big surprise in added benefits! I expected the TMJ pain relief. I did not expect to recover my old levels of energy, feel the need to exercise and sweat again, sleep better, or lose some of my more annoying food and drink cravings. It was as if the old person I was (before anxiety, depression, and hormonal changes) resurfaced. I am under a doctor’s care and have successfully taken prescriptions for anxiety and depression for a year and a half. The turning point for me was the acupuncture treatments. Within three days of my first appointment I found myself at Weight Watchers and booking a trainer at the YMCA. The TMJ pain is under control and three months (and 15 pounds!) later I plan on seeing Todd on an as needed basis...for either pain relief or weight loss!"
Stress and Anxiety
“Wanting to avoid medication for treatment of my anxiety and depression, I decided to try acupuncture. It has truly alleviated the 'ball' of anxiety in my chest and stomach, so I am very pleased with my results. The experience for me is very comfortable and relaxing. Todd is very knowledgeable and informative. I can see myself using acupuncture long term for my general well being.”
“I was under stress at work that I carried in my neck & shoulders. I tried massage & self-treatment without success. I then tried acupuncture…my saving grace. I researched practitioners and decided on Todd at Charlotte Acupuncture. He is very calm and supportive. After a few treatments, I was relieved of my neck and shoulder tension. I look forward to the treatments, which are soothing & relaxing. The level of care that Todd provides is outstanding, and I would highly recommend Charlotte Acupuncture.”
“Along with diet and lifestyle changes, the acupuncture treatments that I have received have significantly helped to reduce the chronic anxiety I experienced for many years. I know acupuncture has played a significant role in my progress and how much better I feel from day-to-day. I feel Hope & Todd bring expertise, caring and a sense of integrity to all that they do, most especially in their apparent dedication to my well-being!”
“I love coming in to get my treatment. It is the highlight of my week. I leave feeling relaxed and 'back to normal'. I stopped taking anxiety medicine almost 2 years ago when we started trying to conceive. I wasn't sleeping, I was crying all the time; I was basically a mess. I believe acupuncture has truly helped with my emotional health. I wish I could come in more than every other week. I recommend it to everyone!”
“I became a client with Charlotte Acupuncture in 2007 for stress management. The experience was so wonderful that I would still be receiving treatment if I had not relocated to another state. The level of expertise, the one on one attention, the overall experience was great. My stress level was dramatically reduced after beginning acupuncture, and I began to sleep through the night, something that I had not done for months! I would definitely recommend Charlotte Acupuncture to everyone.”
“I came to Charlotte Acupuncture seeking relief from IBS symptoms. During periods of stress, I was very uncomfortable and having symptoms was really interfering with my life. I saw on the Mayo Clinic website that some people get relief from IBS with acupuncture. I sought help 3 years ago and have been greatly helped by acupuncture and herbs. Whenever I have a stressful time in my life, I just call them up. Acupuncture has been a wonderful discovery for me!”
