The very best acupuncturist in Gainesville! She is not only an acupuncturist but a doctor of…read moreTraditional Chinese Medicine. I have been seeing her since 1997, almost every other week. What makes her stand out is how her treatments have an immediate relief! I have seen many acupuncturists for more than 30 yeas and none have her skills, expertise and kindness. Her bedside manner is unmatched. She is gentle, caring and compassionate and very knowledgeable. Never pushes you in receiving any treatments you don't want. She also pairs acupuncture with Infra Red Therapy and a trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit by delivering small electrical impulses through the needles; then employs cupping, a most relaxing and healing modality tat stimulates oxygenation and blood circulation. It never fails to take away any pain and inflammation. Additionally,she teaches Tai-Chi and QiGong free every Saturday at the Massey park by the tennis courts on NW 34th street. She takes insurance as well. She is truly a gem!

Chinese acupuncture is run by Min Li, the most caring and honest doctor I've ever seen. I've been…read moregoing to Min for about seven years. Having tried acupuncture before and failing to see its worth, when I first started seeing Min I was skeptical. After my first treatment I still wasn't sure acupuncture did anything, but I enjoyed the time I spent with Min - she was loving in a way most doctors aren't (or at least most doctors don't openly show care and concern on a first visit). She listened without judgement and never pushed a specific treatment but gave recommendations and discussed options that fit my lifestyle. After a few visits I started seeing real changes in my health and I've been seeing her ever since. I live two hours away from her office now, but I make the trip a few times a year or whenever I feel I need a treatment (or when I just miss her; she's become that close to me). Whether you've been getting acupuncture treatments for years or you are looking to try it for the first time, I highly recommend Min Li.

I've been seeing John almost weekly for a couple of months - my back and legs are really screwed…read moreup, from 7 decades of untreated scoliosis. John is highly professional, immensely patient and very high skilled. I trust him implicitly. We are working mainly with deep tissue massage, and he really digs in. My problem is structural, and I'm not looking for miracles (the neurosurgeons have just shrugged and said not much can be done) - but I am convinced my body is making progress with John. I look forward to the day when I can just book a relaxation massage! John's office is easy to get to; has a private parking lot. You walk in, and are greeted by gentle music, comfortable chairs, chilled water to drink, and a soothing aquarium to while away your waiting time. I've never waited more than 5 minutes past my appointment time, but I like to get there early and chill for a while. One of the cool things about working with John is that you can book your appointments on line, and you can also purchase 10-packs at a significant discount. He is extremely busy, so I recommend making your appointments as far ahead as you can.

Bodies In Balance is pretty much my sanctuary. I was referred here by a friend a year ago. I'd…read morenever had acupuncture so I was a little nervous of the unknown and put it off for a little. I ended up going to see Carlos and I was pretty stressed out at the time. The 1st appt is the longest where they go through your full medical history, anything causing stress, pain, etc. Carlos suggested I try at least 3 appts to start so he could get a good "clearing" and see where to go from there. I know you can't expect a complete life change from 1 appt so I told him I was committed to going on a regular basis to try and help myself. I'm personally an insomniac and the stress was making things worse to where I couldn't shut my brain off at all. The first round during the appt I was still pretty stressed so he did another round to bump me into relaxation. I actually fell asleep and he left me to relax and sleep for a while. I'm not kidding you when I say I walked out of my first appt with energy, feeling rejuvenated and in a better headspace all together! The needles don't hurt and if you have a fear of needles I still think you can benefit from acupuncture because it's not like getting blood drawn or anything like that. Carlos is a true professional and absolutely amazing at what he does. I've been coming here for a long time now and if you are a regular they have a monthly membership that makes things even more cost efficient. I can notice a difference if I've had to reschedule an appt and don't make my every 2wk mark. This has helped my stress, migraines, health in general and so much more. I can't tell you how much this has helped me and I know it can do the same for anyone who comes here. Call them up and make an appt, their hours and days are pretty flexible to fit any schedule.

I said no way there's one here and I was stunned to see there was one 5 minutes from work. From the beginning, the front staff has been accommodating and very friendly. I have seen a number of different chiropractors, but each have been highly skilled, ask good questions and provide feedback on how to feel better between visits. I highly recommend The Joint in Gainesville!! I am so happy I found convenient chiropractic care!

Let the buyer beware!!! I purchased the first month plus an additional 6 visits. I asked the last…read moretime that I was in as to how many visits I had remaining. They said that I had been automatically renewed for the next month. All remaining visits are wiped out with the new month. I told them that I did not agree to this. They said that they would fix it. I called back today and was told that they would not refund this month's visits. They said that I "agreed to it" as i/t is in the small print. I did not agree to it, and told them the last time that I was in. This company is dishonest and is a scam. Avoid it!

Over the course of seven or eight sessions with Stephen Schachter, I experienced dramatic relief…read morefrom severe leg pain that had seriously hindered my mobility. The test results (Xray, MRI, EMG) had been negative and shot-in-the-dark treatments had been ineffective, so I got no help from traditional medicine. Since undergoing acupuncture, I'm able to walk long distances again, and my year-and-a-half-long phantom leg pain no longer troubles me. In addition to the effective treatment, my experience with Steve Schachter was highly informative and enjoyable. Also, the office manager, Joy, was invariably agreeable and helpful. My highest recommendation and much appreciation go to Stephen Schachter.

On Christmas day, in one hour, I walked 2300 steps. It was amazing. I believe that Accomplishing this improved my self-esteem, confidence, mental and physical health.
