Two stars for a couple visits with Chris were helpful for back pain.

In addition, a previously unknown practitioner walked in the room unannounced as I was getting off the table and dressed.

I'm not sure what Abby is more passionate about: the art and practice of Chinese Medicine, or…read morehelping people feel better with a whole-person approach! She is so knowledgeable as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine - whether it's acupuncture, herbs, moxa, she knows each application and how to find a solution to whatever ails your body, inside or out. Chinese Medicine can be unfamiliar to some, but Abby makes her patients feel informed and comfortable with any procedure. Perhaps the best thing about working with Abby and Acupuncture & Apothecary is that she genuinely cares about sharing her practice with all - and has very creative ways to make treatment affordable and accessible, through avenues like her community room. If you are lucky enough to work WITH Abby, she is smart, hilarious and so kind. If you are lucky to be treated BY Abby, let's just say your body will thank you no matter if you visit to deal with pain, addiction, or just overall wellness. I personally recommend: fire-cupping, moxa (especially if you're not a needle fan), and Tibetan foot soaks.

I will definitely be back and I'm already sending my friends to her website to reserve this special healing treatment.

Carmela is an incredibly skilled healer who has raised my quality of life significantly since I…read morebegan seeing her. I have multiple co-morbid chronic illnesses that leave me battling chronic fatigue, pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, etc. I have seen a consistent reduction in my generalize pain, an improvement in my mood, and she's taught me skills to help me cope with my anxiety attacks. She has even helped me with my allergies. Most dramatically, though: I've been using a cane pretty consistently for years because of pain and poor balance. In our last two sessions, Carmela has treated me using the Zhu scalp acupuncture technique and, as a result of this treatment, my balance has improved significantly and my reliance on my cane has been radically reduced, to the point that I mainly use it only for stairs or for occasions when I will be on my feet for an extended period of time (like the five hours I spent walking though a recent convention, for instance). I would highly recommend Carmela to my fellow Spoonies. She is thoughtful, caring, and very gifted at what she does.

I randomly and frequently had my throat swell closed and my lips swell. I have to carry an EpiPen with my and Benadryl. I had been to two immunologist/allergists who could not help me. I had Alfa Gal from a tick bite and a secondary problem that my husband and I had found was seemed to be from sulfites found in many foods with preservatives. My son called me and suggested I try and alternative to get help with the Alfa Gal. He had spoken to his minister who also had had Alfa Gal and discovered there was a form of acupuncture that could help. He found Carmela Mager, who had 25 years of experience and had learned this particular form of therapy. We made the appointment which changed both our lives! Carmela informed us as to how she would treat the Alfa Gal ( which made me intolerant of beef, lamb and pork) and then gave me a list of things to avoid that may help. She prescribed enzymes and a probiotic which helped enormously. She told me to do some reading on sulfite allergy. I did! I found studies on it which matched my life! Within a week, I started seeing the rash slowly heal. The acupuncture not only got rid of the Alfa Gal but also my hips no longer hurt. I can now eat pork, beef and lamb again. I started to have more energy. I can garden as I love to do. I felt and feel GOOD! My husband has been doing most of the cooking lately. He says we are on this journey together. Carmela has made life better for us both. She has a wealth of knowledge and generously share it! Our great thanks to her! PWB
