I work as a Limo driver and drive approximately 70,000 to 80,000 miles a year. Being sedentary, poor eating habits, and lack of sleep caused me to have severe back pain and I became obese. I was referred to John McCarthy at Functional wellness and acupuncture through a good friend. John taught him yoga. I made an appointment with John, and he accommodate my crazy schedule, went over background/family health history, and recommended short-term and long term goals/options.
For my immediate need and to alleviate my debilitating pain, he did cupping which was phenomenal and acupuncture needles. Those two techniques were especially helpful and they alleviated the spasm and the pain in the middle of my back.
For long-term goals he discussed nutrition and explain to me in great detail about various options and food groups. He also spoke to me about exposure to toxins and effect of Wi-Fi and EMF waves on sleep and how sleep helps the body heal.
John is like a fountain of knowledge when it comes to functional medicine. I felt that he genuinely and sincerely cared about my well-being. I would definitely recommend him and will most certainly go back for more sessions. read more
