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!

She is extremely thorough, and very responsive in returning emails/answering my millions of questions. Her vibe is very calming, and visiting her was always like a little restorative retreat.

On top of Dr. Gries is the amazing office manager Deana, who is always genuinely warm and kind in every communication. She is a bright light.

My body was warm and tingly by end of treatment (more blood flow). By the second treatment, I fell asleep and snored mid-treatment 'cause I was relaxed.

She agreed. I was absolutely shocked because she was right on. She listed all of the conditions I had come in to treat with perfect accuracy, even using the same phrases and terms I used in my paperwork. 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.

Dr. Qi is highly attentive and asks all the right questions. Thanks to his deep expertise, he doesn't need to use dozens of needles--he treated my shoulder effectively with only about seven, which is a true sign of a skilled practitioner. I felt noticeable progress after just the first session. It was definitely money well spent, and my family and I will absolutely return to Dr. Qi for any future needs.

My blood work showed a very weak thyroid (hypothyroidism) which left me without energy, cold and tired. After only a few months of treatment, my blood work was normal and has been normal all these years later. My other issue was PSVT which was causing me to have PVCs every 10 or so beats of my heart. After the same period of time I only rarely (maybe a few times a month) have PVCs - all these years later. I would have loved to stayed his patient if not for moving out of the area. It's a true testament to his skill that after 7 years I continue to benefit from his skilled application of accupuncture, herbal treatment, as well as tiu na. Dr. Qiu has such a gentle, attentive demeanor. He is a natural healer and I am so grateful for the health I now enjoy due to his healing! My life could have been so much different. Thank you Dr. Qiu!
