Jasmine is amazing. I started with her after PT failed to resolve severe post-surgical and…read morestress-related pain. I hadn't done acupuncture before but had always been curious about it, and I'm so glad I found Jasmine. After about 3 sessions, she managed to dramatically alleviate the pain I was feeling. From there on out, not only did I feel better immediately after sessions, but I also experienced sustained relief. For example, during a month-long stretch without an appointment, the pain stayed at minimal to none. I've also been able to return to PT without aggravating those pain areas. Jasmine herself is a wonderful listener, compassionate, kind, and professional. Her space is clean and I felt comfortable the moment I started working with her. Between the treatment and her demeanor/approach, she imparts a sense of calm and patience, which I think helps relieve stress along with the treatment itself. If you're interested in acupuncture, I recommend Jasmine totally and completely!

Every therapist here is skilled and attentive, but I have to give a special mention to Mandy because she asks great follow up questions at the start of each appointment and seems to hit the right spots every treatment. Great team overall though. It's been a great addition to my health.

I have never received acupuncture before my visit with Brendan Carney…read more I slept on my neck wrong, it felt stiff and my range of motion was limited. When I arrived Brendan made me feel very comfortable, he asked me questions and determined where my pain way coming from. Over 30 minutes he found the central point of my pain and his techniques helped give back my full range of motion that day. Over the next 48 hours all of my neck pain and stiffness was gone. I couldn't believe it! Highly recommended. The location in Newton has off street parking and center was very clean.

I was told about Brendan and acupuncture and his "miracle work" from a friend who swore by him but was skeptical at first. That thinking changed real quick after making an appointment with him. I was back to playing in a few days! I went from having to wait 6 weeks to literally a week, if not days, to getting back to playing and feeling better. I was amazed and became a believer and now set up appointments whenever necessary. Brendan is very knowledgeable and the perfect combination of professional and casual. I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend him! Side note: I posted this because I always check reviews before doing something so hoping this will help someone make a more informed decision.

You can really tell they care about how you are feeling and are motivated by the healing that they are doing for you. I am so glad I took a chance and am continuing to go as I am seeing improvement.

Jess applied the tuina massage technique and through the skillfully applied pressure, I felt a physical release and loosening unlike anything I have ever experienced.

She recommended some exercises that would help with this as well. There is a marked improvement in my shoulder and I continue to do the recommended exercises.

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer at the young age of 41 in March…read moreof 2014. We were absolutely devastated. Doctors told us he wouldn't last the summer, and they immediately put him on an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. During his treatment, we also decided to look into "alternative" medicine. By the grace of God, we found our way to Yi Luo and Eastway Acupuncture & Wellness. As soon as we met her, we were immediately comforted by her gentle nature. Though she didn't know us, we could also tell she cared and desperately wanted to help. In addition to getting weekly acupuncture, Yi recommended a combination of herbal remedies and bone broth soup. We did everything she told us to, though some thought it odd that I'd give my husband a warm foot bath (with herbs!) every night before bed. And I won't lie - he didn't love the taste of the soup, but he gulped it down while I watched, arms folded, until he finished every drop. When we went in to get the results of my husband's first CT scan, I asked his oncologist what a "good" result might be. His response was, "About a 30% reduction in overall tumor volume." We were astounded when we learned my husband had a 94% reduction in tumor volume. In July of 2014, after my husband finished his chemotherapy, we went in for another CT scan. I'll never forget his oncologist turning around his computer monitor for us to see the scans. I remember leaning in for a closer look. "Where are the tumors?" I asked. I remember the scans looking like Swiss cheese when he was first diagnosed. The doctor looked at us, and with a kind smile, hunched his shoulders and said, "Gone." My husband was declared disease-free by CT scan that day. There was no explanation by any of his doctors. He'd achieved the impossible. He was called "a miracle." Nine years later, my husband is still cancer free. Now I have no idea exactly why we were given this gift, but I do know that Yi's care contributed to my husband's healing. I don't believe there's any evidence that acupuncture can help cure cancer, but I do believe it relieves stress and lessens side effects of treatment. Those two things and the genuine care he received absolutely contributed to my husband's healing. When I developed chronic pain a couple of years ago, I knew exactly where to go. I now see Yi every week. She's still the same - dedicated, caring, optimistic. I'd recommend Yi and anyone in her office. You couldn't possibly find better alternative care.
