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. I don't understand how everything works, but the treatments are effective. 10/10 would recommend to a family member struggling with sleep/pain.

I really enjoy Johnathan's willingness to tell you each stage of why the herbs are working and what he is doing when performing acupuncture. I always walk out of his office feeling knowledgeable and in the know of what is going on with my health. His assistant Kelly always makes me feel welcome and very at ease as well. I never have recommended a doctor before, but I would and have recommended Dr.Johnathan Kramer time and again! If you have that "just about to give up" feeling I truly believe with Dr.Kramer's knowledge about TCM and acupuncture you are doing yourself a disservice to not give his office a try!

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

I do believe that acupuncture can be a very powerful practice when performed well. Unfortunately…read moreafter about 10 visits with Jinmei Xu, I have some serious doubts about the efficacy of her "treatments" and disagree with some dishonorable billing practices. Overall the results of Jinmei's acupuncture treatments were mixed, making it difficult to conclude whether the treatments were helpful or harmful. Jinmei was quick to attribute any positive progress to acupuncture and discount any negative side effects as unrelated to acupuncture. For example, when a wound healed over the course of weeks, she said it was acupuncture. Conversely, she once put a needle in my right elbow and, for the next 2 weeks, I experienced a sharp, intense pain that felt like it was radiating out along the vein in my elbow. When asked about it, she didn't look at it or attempt to treat it; instead, she dismissed it as not being related to acupuncture and that I must have unknowingly bumped it in that exact spot. On two occasions, she treated me for sleep and both times I experienced noticeably worse sleep following the session than I did the night prior. She also attributed bleeding from the needles to successful activation of chi - the more bleeding, the stronger the activation. My husband went through the trouble to get Jinmei approved as an in-network provider with our insurance company, and I wanted to try to submit a claim through my insurance for these acupuncture treatments. Jinmei said, that if I wanted to do that, they needed to charge me double for visits ($150, instead of the regular $80 per visit). When I asked why, she said it was because it would require her to send me an invoice via email that contained the insurance code. So essentially I needed to pay her $70 extra per visit to get an invoice, and then I would need to do all of the work to coordinate with insurance to try to get reimbursed. Ultimately, the decision was clear to discontinue treatments at Raleigh Acupuncture Associates -- for us, it wasn't worth the time and cost of continuing acupuncture treatments, particularly when the results were, at best, mixed.
