Dr. C is more than just an acupuncture doctor, he is also a kind, gentle and knowledgeable man. While treating me for joint pain in my hands and fingers he has not only eased the discomfort on the physical level and the blockages on the energetic level, he has also helped me to broaden my understanding of how my diet and my general way of being in the world affect me physically. Our conversations during treatment have helped to broaden my view.

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!!!

Dr. Carlow is great! He is very professional, down to earth, has a good sense of humor and above all is truly passionate about what he does and cares about the well-being and health of his patients. I really appreciate his approach as I was skeptical going in, but it is clear that his goal is not wanting patients to be reliant on him or to have to see him long-term, but striving to empower patients to be able to regain ultimate control of their OWN health. Dr. Carlow looks at the picture of the whole person and tries to better understand the root causes of your individual symptoms (verses only treating surface symptoms and never addressing the cause). He is excellent at also providing education and suggestions on how to implement various changes to improve your overall health (physically and emotionally) in order to sustain healing changes. Dr. Carlow is genuine and kind.Highly recommend him!

In 2007, I found out that I had a bulging disc in my neck, along with deterioration in a vertebra, a bone spur, arthritis and stenosis. I was trying everything I could think of to rehabilitate my neck and avoid surgery. After a year of physical therapy, I thought there was nothing left for me to try. But, then I met Chris and decided to try acupuncture. I felt some relief from my neck pain almost immediately and realized that this could help me! I began regular treatments and the pain relief became more consistent.

Over time, I also began seeing an improvement in my fibromyalgia symptoms. I no longer wake up each morning with joint pain and stiffness and I have noticed more physical stamina in all that I do. My energy levels have increased and I no longer feel depressed.

I have been going for acupuncture treatments for almost a year now, along with taking Chris’ tai chi/chi kung class. I have benefited tremendously from adding both of these therapies into my health regimen. I think that this combination, along with a positive attitude, has changed my health and my life.

Dr. Carlow is the only person I would trust to do acupuncture. His credentials, professionalism, and customer service are just some of reasons why. If you have any questions, he will take the time to explain. I would recommend him every time!

Dr.Carlow is outstanding in my book. I had wonderful results for lower back pain. My treatments were stress free and totally relaxing. Dr. Carlow is caring and has a very calming approach with each session. He always would take the time to talk to me and discuss my treatments. I never felt rushed in and out of the office. I can’t say enough good things about him, he helped me through a very painful point in my health condition.

I’d like to thank you for the Moxa/Acupuncture treatment you performed before we gave birth to our beautiful daughter on May 1st! 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.

I began working with my yoga instructor to correct her positioning, and combined that with the treatment in your office. My husband Mike continued the Moxa treatment every day at home, and we hoped for the best! 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)!

We are convinced that the moxa/acupuncture combined with the yoga positions was the key to our success, and we hope that others can reap the benefits as well!

Thanks again!

Last year my life changed for the better when I started weekly acupuncture sessions with Dr. Chris Carlow.

Previously I had pain from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and also experienced anxiety.

The weekly sessions for acupuncture eliminated the pain I had from fibromyalgia and also caused me to be less anxious.

Dr. Carlow has given me a healthier life.
