Hello to all that read my post. I will start by saying i apologize if im long winded. But im a…read moreperson that gives credit where its due. I will also state that if you read all the posts you will see i posted about 3 yrs ago. With that being said here you go. My dealings with Jim started 3 yrs ago. This came after going to chiropractor for over a yr along with my own stretching. I also used the inversion table. The pain and discomfort wouldnt go away. Ive had lower back surgery for spine issues and this pain was differant. So I also used accupunture in past with great results. So I went to 1 near me. After my 2nd visit I knew she was not the 1 for me. Trust me when I say ALL accupunturists are not created equal.. Just like western medicine. Some are specialists for a reason. Sorry to say its called skillsets. So now im on the search and i came upon Jim. Im not going to lie, the first to treatments were tough. Jim went right to work ... I will admit i was like wow and a lil nervous. But by the 6th treatment i felt amazing. The pain was gone. I could sleep and I could hug my other half without pain going down my leg. Here it is 3 yrs later and alls well with my leg. So at this point im like hmmmm. I may have found THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH....LOL...So since i was your typical male growing up , I had the mentality of you cant hurt me...well im here to tell you I was wrong. There are days that i ache like i got hit by a car in my upper body.. So Doc ( Jim ) and i chatted and he started on my shoulders. He got me to feeling awesome . Best i felt in yrs and im in my 60s...So i had all intentions on getting back to exercise to maintain my body. Thats the key to a healthy life...well like most americans i didnt start my exercise so i was feeling achy and having issues moving my arms... so i called Jim and said I need your help and we really examined my issues. During that Jim found a muscle group that was weaker then it should be , hence making other muscles do overtime.. So between his work and his exercises im back to feeling good. So all I can say is give this man a try. And give him a chance to figure out whats causing your issues. I can say is it took us years to beat ourselves to this point. Give him some time to figure out what you need. So trust me folks, Jim will get you back to a productive life fast... Thanks Jim for helping me continue my journey to 100...lol

As an extremely healthy 70 year old, recently retired, I've been playing golf twice a week for the…read morepast two years. At the end of July, I somehow injured my left shoulder, and curtailed my weekly game for the next 6 weeks, hoping the rest would restore my swing without further pain. Since the daily pain persisted into September, I made an appointment with my GP, who recommended physical therapy. After 5 weeks, without any improvement, I still could not lift my arm above shoulder height, I saw Dr. Cohen. He immediately diagnosed my problem (rotator cuff out of alignment) and adjusted my body. The results are amazing, first off, my daily pain has now subsided, and I am able to reach my arm across my body, and over my head, something I could not do last week. He did such a great job, and I'm very thankful for his knowledge and technique for putting me back together, pain free!!! I highly recommend his services, if you have any problems conventional doctors either can't deal with, or don't have the time or patience to figure out the issues. James S. November 2025

My first visit to Dr. Cohen was a great experience! I have suffered moderate discomfort for 2 years…read morein my hip/back. I have visited many physicians' offices, received numerous x-rays, and tried physical therapy and at home stretching. While this was helpful, the discomfort would always return. Dr. Cohen was able to identify which organ the root of my discomfort was coming from, and got me back aligned within one visit using accupuncture and his expertise. I will be back for a second visit today, and scheduling for future! Loved Dr. Cohen and team's holistic, down to earth, personable approach. Check them out if you want to go beyond relief ;) I feel better, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Why you're here: If you are reading this, it means that you…read moreare, 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!

I also love that she has late appointments, as late as 6pm. It makes it easy to beat traffic and get to Raleigh after work. I wish I would have found her earlier.
