Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.
According to Chinese medical theory, the symptoms and signs that indicate a Western diagnosis of allergies relate to imbalances in the meridian and Organ Systems of the body. These imbalances may stem from a variety of causes, including stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants and environmental toxins.
Acupuncture treatments for chronic pain resets your body on a cellular level. This allows your system to return to their natural balance and frees you from pain in the future. The researchers also showed the effects persisted for at least 12 months after the acupuncture treatments ended.
This study adds to the growing body of literature that suggests acupuncture can be a viable treatment for chronic pain, and the findings cannot be explained away by the placebo effect since they did not observe significant changes in the group that received sham acupuncture.

Dr. Marek does it all! He not only cares for his patients, but he also takes care of payment and the arranging of appointments. I have never had any issues with insurance or getting an appointment. I appreciate that whenever I come in for my appointment, he always starts right away. His patients aren't rushed in or out. Each appointment is organized so that every patient is given their dedicated time. Dr. Marek forms meaningful relationships with his patients. He remembers their needs and this shows that he genuinely cares about their physical and emotional health.

As someone with some unique medical issues who used to live with daily pain, I can tell you that Dr. Marek is amazing at using acupuncture to treat a wide variety of pain levels. I recommend him to people all the time and can’t say enough good things. If you are looking into acupuncture, go see him, you won’t regret it!

I walked into Dr. Marek’s office with a list of issues a mile long and a short time-frame for him to treat me given that I was only staying in the area for the summer to visit family. I saw his practice as a “hope and a prayer” to keep my complicated body “above water” so to speak. I walked in hopeful that perhaps he could offer me some level of relief from my chronic and highly debilitating pain, but I was also skeptical given my lack of success with acupuncture treatments in the past. In the end it was the combined fact that he holds a Doctorate degree in Acupuncture, and came highly

As a patient with a history of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue/pain, I most highly recommend Dr.Peter Marek. Where traditional medicine fails, Dr. Marek picks up the pieces and digs deeper to heal the whole person. Do yourself as favor and invest in healing your body rather than wasting your time/money only to continue masking your symptoms. The only thing you have to lose is pain, fatigue, nausea, GI symptoms, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, cramps, muscle spasms/tightness, and/or whatever else ails you. Acupuncture has been around for centuries because it works! Dr. Marek is an

I came to seek treatment from Dr. Marek after grappling with back pain, leg pain, hip pain and sciatica. Previous to seeing him, I participated in months of physical therapy and chiropractic care. Within a short period of time, I have significant improvement with no leg pain, no sciatica pain. and no hip pain. My back pain is minimal....I am continuing with weekly sessions at this point. My stress level has also significantly improved and I am more in tune with my own self care. Dr. Marek asks logical and pertinent questions and pays attention to details that underlie concerns. As important, he

For too many years I have suffered with constant back pain, increasing anxiety and night terrors. Not wishing to opt for back surgery and prescription medications I needed to find an alternative solution. Four weeks ago I found Dr. Marek and had my first acupuncture appointment. Remarkably my constant back pain has reduced to a short occasional flare up, my anxiety has greatly diminished and I sleep well. I found Dr. Marek to be extremely professional and sincerely invested in my well being...he is also one hell of a nice guy! This has been a life changing treatment. If you are thinking about trying

Very clean and comfortable place, Mr. Peter Marek are nice and very professional, very good experience. I had very severe migraine, mostly more than a few times a month, I used to take medicine for it, but I decide to use acupuncture to give myself a treatment, I am so glad I found the Center for Advance Acupuncture, I stepped a very clean oriental-ish place with my migraine pain, and I had my first acupuncture treatment, and walked out with 80% pain reduced, the second day, all my headache went away without take any of my Advil pills, I highly recommend to the one that need pill-less relive.

I having been having severe pain with sciatica. I tried physical therapy and was taking muscle relaxers and pain medication as well as over the counter pain relivers to get me through the day all to no avail. It was suggested that I try acupuncture and was very fortunate to find Peter Marek at The Center for Advanced Acupuncture. I will say I was a bit nervous at the prospect of acupuncture but when I met Peter he put me completely at ease, he has a genuine concern with my issues and helped me to understand how acupuncture would help. I had my first treatment and felt and a very noticeable decrease
