Chris O’Donnell, LAc – Acupuncture Professionals

I had been seeing Chris from past 2 years not just for back pain but for all other issues i.e. stress, sciatica, other injuries etc. He has treated me for all the issues. I have never felt better or recovered if it wasn’t for Chris’s treatments and herbs. The herbs are also excellent and they have no side effects which is amazing. Chris is very professional and has alot of patience to listen to his patients issues and try to help them best way possible. He also can give advice about at home remedies which we overlook sometimes in our busy lives. He has alot of experience and expert knowledge of what he does and I completely trust him treating my husband and I. Thank you Chris! You are just awesome few words can’t explain what you have done for us! Thanks again!

i came to Chris in the midst of a debilitating lower back crisis. It is rare for me to implicitly trust a healer as much as I do Chris. His attention to my healing as well as his level of skill as a healer are unsurpassed. It has been a long, slow return to health. That has been challenging — and expensive. But never once have I questioned Chris’ skill. He is gifted and deeply respectful. I shudder to think what this healing process would be like without him. If you are injured or in pain see him for you will be in the hands of not only a brilliant practitioner but also a deeply compassionate human being.

This was my first time seeing Chris and I am so glad I did. I was experiencing intense lower back pain and stiffness which he helped alleviate with a Tui Na massage. He is highly skilled, intuitive, strong, confident, professional and communicative. He is amazing!

I too am new to acupuncture. I have terrible migraines and someone suggested I try acupuncture to help with them. I have had one migraine since June 2008 that won’t go away. It will ease off a bit but never go completely away. I’ve been on tons of medications and have been monitored by neurologists. I’ve gone to Chris about five times now and I’m already beginning to feel better! I feel the best I have in nearly a year! The office is nice and relaxing and Chris listens to your problems. He is very professional. I feel with a few more visits, I can definitely be back to my normal once-​a-​month migraine self! Great place!

I am new to acupuncture, having started going a month or so ago. A brief history: I fouled up my mid-​back (thoracic spine area, right alongside and underneath my left shoulder blade) eleven years ago and have lived with pain ever since. I’ve always been an athlete that thought that pain was just part of the game but when I started waking up every morning because of the pain, I decided it was time to get help. Several years of physical therapy (if you need info on any of the places in the city, let me know, I’ve been to them all) including ART and electric stim, massage therapy, MRIs and X-​Rays (nothing structural to explain it), and even cortisone shots. Nothing worked and I was being told that even surgery wasn’t really an option for the type of injury I had. My ortho surgeon recommended Chris to me but he was in Europe when I first called, so I went to someone else. She was nice and it was very relaxing but I wasn’t getting results.
Enter Chris. Super nice guy, flexible with appointment times, yada yada yada… really all that matters to me is that he is a freaking genius with those skinny little needles. I’m pretty sure that he adapts the treatment to the kind of person shaking his hand and I think that he understood my frustration because there was no gentle first visit — he immediately found trigger points that caused massive releases in the affected area. Be forewarned: it can and does hurt and my injury is so old that I get a lot of lactic acid burn after the treatment. But Chris never pushes it too far and always seems to know how I am going to feel and what I can do to ease the post-​treatment pain. Unlike the PT and massage folks who seemed to want to change my lifestyle habits, he is encouraging me to do all of the things that I would normally do, like lift, golf, ride a motorcycle, etc. He is still telling me to improve things like my posture, yes, but he also recognizes that I can only change so much at once without getting frustrated and giving up.
Anyway, diatribe is over. Go to Chris; simply put, he has gotten amazing results when I was ready to give up all hope. I’m not sure that I can offer a stronger recommendation for a practioner of any ilk.

I’ve had migraines for years that have totally incapacitated me. Besides taking way over the recommended dosage in over the counter pain medication, nothing has worked until I went to Acupuncture Professionals. Chris O’Donnell has since done wonders with alleviating my migraines. Not only is he professional, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor, he is an amazing healer as well. Highly recommended!
