“I have been going to Lou Vanrenen / American Acupuncture since 2012, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lou was recommended by Dr. Mark Russo, a veterinarian at Kingston Animal Hospital, who had done wonders with my dogs using acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Lou is adept at acupuncture and acupressure, and has a kind and caring manner about him. He patiently explains what he's doing (since I'm the type of client who wants to know everything about the treatment, whether it's for my animals or myself). He is also knowledgable about herbal medicine, nutrition, and Qi Gong. He has had some amazing life experiences, some of which he shares with me as we swap stories and discuss things of mutual interest. Lou helped me tremendously during cancer treatment, and in the recovery afterwards. Doctors and friends were amazed at my upbeat attitude and at how well I got through chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. A session of acupuncture/acupressure, heat therapy, and targeted massage leaves me relaxed with a feeling of increased well-being. Each treatment is tailored for the specific needs I have that week. More recently, I broke a wrist and was experiencing some nerve symptoms in the affected arm. These included increased sensitivity that made the lightest touch feel like sandpaper scraping across my skin, reduced sensation in my fingers, stiffness and swelling around the joint. My surgeon discussed the possibility of "complex regional pain syndrome" -- a nasty neurological problem that can spread from an origination point such as a broken wrist to affect the rest of the body. Lou's acupuncture treatments, working directly with the energy systems in the body, reduced the symptoms and helped me through recovery better than even gabapentin and other pain medications. I go to Lou whenever I feel the need for a "tune-up" of my immune system or general feeling of well-being, and whenever I have specific complaints that acupuncture can help. I highly recommend American Acupuncture for anyone who is considering trying acupuncture treatment.“

“Yesterday I went to see Caroline feeling completely depleted, exhausted and experiencing allergy symptoms. After one session of acupuncture and sound therapy I felt absolutely amazing! I left feeling energized, my allergy symptoms had been alleviated and I was ready to face the world with a smile. This is not the first time that Caroline has worked miracles with me and my health. She continues to amaze me with her ability to listen to me and follow with a practice that focuses on my specific, individual needs. Thank you, Caroline, for sharing your expertise and incredible knowledge.“

“It was more than a year ago when I first went to New England Wellness Solutions. I could barely walk as I had so much pain in my left hip and leg. I met with Bryan for a consultation and had my first treatment. I was absolutely amazed how quickly I responded to acupuncture. I was able to walk out of his office with much greater ease than when I walked in! I followed his prescribed course of treatment and continued to feel better after each visit. I retired from my job a few months after starting treatment which changed my schedule and I began to meet with Jimmy. With each treatment from Jimmy I continued to improve. Both Jimmy and Bryan have shared their extensive knowledge about health and fitness with me during my visits, each time I go I not only feel better leaving, I also leave having learned something new. Since I first walked into NEWS I have lost weight and have more energy than I would have ever thought! I feel so much better than I did before going to NEWS! I plan to continue with treatments for as long as I live as I feel that it is an integral part of my overall wellness. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis that I no longer take any prescription medication for, and my pain and movement is as it was before being diagnosed with RA. My Rheumatologist is very pleased with my progress and is also very supportive of my continued use of acupuncture as he can see the difference in me! I think Jimmy and Bryan are top notch in their field and their staff are all so friendly and kind. I look forward to all my visits. I can't say enough of how much they have improved my quality of life!“
“I highly recommend seeing Robert . I was fortunate enough to have him move to the UPS route I was driving . His treatments saved me a ton of painful days . His bedside manner is outstanding also . I can not recommend him enough .“
