After numerous occurrences of sciatica and lower back pain and having tried various other treatments, l luckily decided to give acupuncture a try. I have been extremely pleased with the treatments from Max. On Day 1 I came to Max using a cane, unable to put any pressure on my left foot. Miraculously I left his office able to walk without the cane.
Acupuncture originated over 3,000 years ago, having deep roots in Eastern philosophy, the study of nature, and our relationship with the environment. It is the science and art of fine tuning the body and mind in an effort to achieve optimal health and mental well-being.
Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points along pathways in the body (called meridians) in order to regulate organ and body function and reduce the sensation of pain.Once perceived as unscientific folk medicine, acupuncture today is now seen by the medical community as being a valid, testable, and effective treatment option.

I was suffering from sciatica for over 5 weeks and had tried massage therapy, chiropractic care, and had seen an orthopedist who prescribed drugs to treat and nothing was working. The next step was physical therapy for 6 weeks then MRI/Xray (insurance dictated this timeline). After only one session with Max, I was pain free and have been ever since! I am going to maintain myself with monthly visits now. I have recommended Max to many people already and will continue. His home office environment is peaceful and serene and appointment times so accommodating with my commuting schedule. Do not walk

I love acupuncture specialists! My experience during every session has been truly amazing. It was my first experience with acupuncture and I didn't know what to expect. Amy explained everything to me in detail, got to know me and made me feel extremely comfortable. I look forward to every session and Amy has made me feel like a new person!
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

I have been seeing Amy at Acupuncture Specialists for over two years now. I had chronic (daily) headaches that affected every aspect of my life. Regular treatments have kept the headaches away (and other ailments) - it like magic! This practice is so caring, patient, gentle, and flexible. I highly recommend Amy and Max.

I have been seeing Max for a complicated balance issue for about a month now. Not only is he comprehensive and very knowledgable but he is exceedingly compassionate. In a time of much uncertainty regarding my health, Max has been a true advocate and invested in my well being and healing. I would recommend him without hesitation.
