Why you're here: If you are reading this, it means that you are, at least slightly, interested in the idea of trying acupuncture. Or you have experience acupuncture before and are looking for an Acupuncturist. For which ever reason, I highly doubt you will be making any mistakes by choosing Chris at Aspire Acupuncture, it may even be one of the best decisions you've made in a while. The Acupuncturist: Chris is a pretty fun, down to earth kind of guy. He has a very honest, caring and friendly vibe, and he's very patient, supportive and encouraging. He really cares to see people succeed and sits down for a follow up/ catch up chat before acupuncture to see how you as as person are doing. What triumphs and downfalls you've had since you last saw him. Also, he only sees one patient at a time, you are always his main focus during your appointment. Bonus, he has online scheduling! Catch him on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, he shares a lot of very interesting articles. Health doesn't seem just to be his job, it seems to be his life. Why I started: It was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. I was ready to quit smoking again. I've tired gum, patch, cold turkey, even both Chantix and Wellbutrin. After the third time quitting with Wellbutrin, it really started to take a toll. I didn't know what else I could do and what would be successful. I found out about Aspire Acupuncture from Dr. Penry, they're in the same office. I decided to make both appointments on the same day. My Success: I was smoking 10-12 cigarettes a day during the weekday, it was just madness on the weekend, when I started acupuncture. It only took me two visit and one week to completely walk away from smoking. I dropped down to three cigarettes a day, then one and I was done. I have never felt this solid about quitting before. I don't even flinch when I see someone smoking. Now, everyone is different, it may take someone more or less visits, but you won't know until you try. I sincerely hope you are able to lead a better, happier and healthier life. -Jenn P.s. Yelp, please stop filtering my review, Thank you! read more

When my insomnia got the best of me, Chris was there to help. After a careful and thorough evaluation of my situation, Chris crafted a treatment plan for my specific needs.

Whether you are new to acupuncture, or a seasoned fanatic, I would ***highly*** recommend Chris Landoll at Aspire Acupuncture. read more

Acupuncture and herbs have been my "go to" for health and healing for over 30 years. Chris is always such a loving gentle presence that I have been able to move through and ultimately get free from a couple of issues that had plagued me at a physical and emotional level for a very long time. I always found such solace and relief in his kind gentle being. It is rare to find such a natural healer. read more

My mom and I visited Chris in September 2012 while taking advantage of the LivingSocial offer he had. It was my mom's first time experiencing acupuncture and came with a gammet of ailments due to her diabetes. She noticed improvements after her first appointment and even further improvements after her 2nd. She said she will absolutely go back home to NY (she was visiting) and continue acupuncture therapy. Quite a "win" since my mom is not one to prescribe to anything other than traditional Rx's from a bottle. I'm SUPER happy!!! My experience was equally rewarding in that I immediately felt comfortable with Chris and was surprised by the time he took at the beginning of my appointment to get to know me a bit and some of my concerns. He has a very pleasant, calm and welcoming demeanor that is a wonderful fit for what he does. By the end of my first appointment I immediately felt relief from some stress issues and pain I had been experiencing from my carpel tunnel flare up. My 2nd appointment only continued to improve both those concerns. I will be scheduling my next appointment shortly as Chris is by far one of the best I've experienced for acupuncture. If you're hesitant, his rates are the best in the area and I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Chris Landoll is a very incredible acupuncturist. I purchased a Groupon package and as soon as that ran out, I was so happy with him, I purchased another package. I have many reasons for continuing care with him. He is very intuitive, compassionate professional and effective with his practice. I feel very comfortable working with him. His online appointment scheduling is very user friendly and accessible. I can't say enough good things about him and the care he provides. Additionally he offers reasonable packages if your insurance doesn't cover these treatments. I have struggled with chronic pain that has created severe insomnia! With acupuncture, Chris has helped me to sleep better and take the edge off! My overall pain has been reduced. Unfortunately, I am in need of surgery to resolve the chronic pain. Receiving acupuncture is a great modality for symptom management until I have my surgery. I am grateful for this experience. read more

Aspire Acupuncture and Chris Landoll have exceeded my expectations in the past several weeks. Always curious about new ways to find optimal health and interested in trying to new experiences, I purchased a package for Aspire Acupuncture. I had always been fascinated by acupuncture but never had a "reason" to try it. I first met Chris in early August and was very pleasantly surprised by how in-depth our initial conversation was. I felt as though a treatment plan was being created just for me. My general health goals surrounded the areas of overall happiness, less anxiety, better stress management, and an ability to handle grief and sadness constructively. Acupuncture is not the only step I had taken in this journey. Around the same time I started visiting Chris, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put on medication. Over the course of the next 6 weeks that I was receiving acupuncture, I was aso taking a thyroid medication. I began to feel like myself again, and in some ways, better. I attributed this to the thyroid medication and thought perhaps acupuncture was playing a small role as well. I was feeling breakthroughs after the sessions with Chris, sometimes feeling quite emotional for days as though I was being allowed to process stress and feelings that had been stuffed so far down. But I thought my thyroid medication must be the primary cause of the dramatic shift in my mental outlook, energy level, and overall happiness. Then, today, I was proven wrong! I visited my Naturopath for the 6 week check on my thyroid levels. Shockingly, my thyroid levels have all but stayed the same (according to lab work)! Naturally, the ND rose my dosage and we hope that there will be a bigger shift after the next couple months. However, what this told me is that likely my thyroid is not functioning at a level that would explain the progress and success I have felt the past 6 weeks. All I can attribute this to is the acupuncture sessions. Having never been to acupuncture prior to visiting Aspire, I can't compare to other experiences. I can say that I am 100% satisfied with the experience at Aspire. I have already recommended Chris to many friends and recommend that anyone exploring acupuncture, explore Aspire. read more

Chris is the best I have found. After trying LITERALLY over a dozen different acupuncturists I found Aspire. I've been seeing him for several years now and each time he has great bedside manner and is VERY professional and caring about his clientele. He is one of the few therapists who are capable of dealing with real world ailments and people with chronic things like diabetes or fibromyalgia and has treated me for things ranging from "I'm sick and need to get better FAST for work" to "I need to feel less stress or at least deal with it better" to "my muscles keep cramping up! help my legs!". I see him once a month for maintenance and will continue indefinitely unless he moves out of state. read more
