Foot Pain / Morton's Neuroma
I’ve been suffering from foot pain for so long. Along with surgery and painful shots, nothing helped until now. I am so thankful for what he has done for me. I am close to being pain free. He takes the time with you to make sure he knows what is wrong with you. To me that’s worth its weight in gold.

Breech Presentation / Pregnancy at 36 weeks
I’d like to thank you for the Moxa/Acupuncture treatment you performed before we gave birth to our beautiful daughter! Little Miss Lelaina had flipped into the breech position 36 weeks into my pregnancy, and we really wanted to avoid a C-section if at all possible. When I went into labor at 38 weeks and 3 days, we were informed that our baby was head down and ready to make her entrance! She did remain in the posterior position, but we successfully avoided a C-section and delivered a healthy, 8lb 10oz baby girl, vaginally after 30 hours of labor (and only a short 3 hours of active labor)!

Digestive Discomfort / Endometriosis
Before going to Dr Carlow for acupuncture , I had been suffering for years with stomach issues. I had been to several doctors over the years, along with multiple testing. I found no comfort and had no answers. I was also, suffering from endometriosis at the same time. Experiencing two different ailments at the same time was wearing on me. It was very difficult to do the things I enjoyed doing like exercising, riding my bike and gardening. There was many restless nights where I couldn’t sleep. I needed to take control of my life and find an alternative.
I had read about acupuncture and how it might help. I’m glad I did!! Dr Carlow has helped me by taking the time to listen. First, I met with him to talk about my ailments. Then came up with a plan to fit my needs. With the treatments and the herbs he prescribed for my stomach and endometriosis I find the relief and feel great again! I can’t thank you enough for helping me!!!

Fibromyalgia | Psoriatic Arthritis | Non-Essential Tremor
I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Chris since I read about how caring and professional he is. He took the time to listen to me and he genuinely wanted to help me solve my health issues. Acupuncture helped me tremendously with the pain. In addition I have been suffering with not only pain in my right shoulder and neck but I could not stretch my right arm past just above my waist. I went for many visits to my doctors and still suffered. During my second visit to Dr. Chris he introduced me to “cupping” and gave me a treatment on my shoulder. I was literally shocked with the results – pain was very mild and I could extend my right arm above my head with ease. My third visit eliminated the pain in my right arm and as an added surprise, the cupping treatment in combination with acupuncture stopped my hands from shaking another problem diagnosed as non-essential tremor.

Chronic Back and Leg Pain
I was very skeptical about acupuncture and quickly learned that my skepticism was directly related to my ignorance and lack of knowledge. My treatments have been relaxing, warm and comfortable. Scary? Yes, the first treatment I was very scared and afraid of the pain that the needles may cause. I soon found out that my fears were unfounded. I was in so much pain, 7 out of 10, when I got on the treatment table and 2 out of 10 when I got off the table. The treatment room is warm, soft lighting, soft music and ohh , such a soft, warm, comfortable treatment table. Your expert technical skills and abilities match your expert manner in which you provide healing.

Sciatica
After trying several standard things to help relieve my sciatica pain, including but not limited to physical therapy and medication, I finally took my friend’s advice and went to Chris Carlow for help. Over the course of several weeks, using acupuncture, Chris worked on me until I was no longer having a problem. I had my doubts since I had no experience with acupuncture but Chris explained everything and I rarely felt any discomfort during the sessions. I strongly recommend a visit to Chris Carlow if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort or even if you just want to feel better than you already do. The office is warm and inviting and everything is very comfortable and professional. So what are you waiting for? Make an appointment!

Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain
I have lived with chronic neck and shoulder pain due to stress and poor ergonomics at work. My doctor wanted to put me through tens of thousands of $ of testing and some of them known to be extremely painful. I went to see Chris Carlow and within 3 sessions I had ZERO pain! Now it’s just about maintenance. I cannot speak highly enough of the professional, knowledgeable, caring way I am treated. I wouldn’t be able to live without this treatment.
