After trying just about everything for my monthly migraines over the last few decades, I finally found lasting relief with Loren. I had almost accepted that migraines were simply something I'd have to live with. Loren's treatments released years of chronic tension in my neck, and for the first time in decades, my monthly migraines have stopped. It's been genuinely life-changing. I initially came for migraine relief, but I've also found my overall health has improved so much. Loren also created a customized Chinese herbal formula for me that has transformed how I feel day to day. I've always been someone who felt cold all the time, but now I feel warmer, stronger, and more energetic. It's difficult to put into words, but I simply feel healthier and more resilient. What sets Loren apart is that he doesn't just treat symptoms. He takes the time to understand what's going on, explains his thinking, and tailors his treatments to the individual. I'm incredibly grateful to have found Loren. If you've been struggling with migraines, chronic muscle tension, or other long-standing health issues and feel like you've run out of options, I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Loren is gifted with the most magical healing hands and spirit that I have met. He truly cares about your whole well-being and is beyond genius in ways to get you feeling better just after one session. I saw him after foot surgery where my foot was numb from nerve damage. He massaged and needled my foot to heal it over numerous months to now I am able to fully move and feel my foot - a true miracle worker who I will forever be grateful for every step of the way. A true healer in the most magnificent way. read more

Although Loren was very professional and listened to me, I wouldn't do acupuncture again. Keep in mind acupuncture is not for everyone. The cupping and scraping hurt me very much. Sometimes a person (as in my case) might be better off with physical therapy since I ailment improved after one session with PT. Now I'm sure other people like acupuncture. But please understand, it is not for everyone. And if you never had it before, the scraping and cupping and needles will be painful. read more

This guy is amazing, I don't know where he learned all of these amazing skills but I can't recommend him enough. I initially went in for some serious eczema problems (which he healed up with his herbal combinations), then it was back pain from a car accident (definitely not your ordinary acupuncture as you will really feel it). Definitely gonna see him again the next time I have some sort of medical problem, so check him out. He's great! read more

At the start of covid lock down, I fell from standing on a chair (running ethernet cable for my wife's zoom meetings). I didn't think anything of it until I lost flexibility in my right leg (I couldn't even put on my sock without contorting myself). A month later I had constant throbbing pain in my upper thigh and hip. A year and a half later I received my first vaccine dose and I went to see my doctor who sent me for x-ray, then MRI, then to an orthopedic surgeon who told me that I needed hip replacement surgery which I wasn't willing to do. That's when I found Loren at Healing Hands on Larchmont where I've been going for massages for the past 10 years. I had few acupuncture treatments throughout my life and I was always skeptical of its effectiveness. Loren made me a believer! After my first weekly treatment with Loren, the pain noticeably improved. After the second treatment, I regained some of my flexibility that I could actually cross my leg without having to lift it with my hands. By my fourth treatment with Loren, after almost two years of living with pain, I was completely pain free. The acupuncture that Loren practices is unlike any other acupuncturist that I've been to. It wasn't just about an abstract idea of getting your chi to flow. I think Loren has a deep understanding of the human body and how it is interconnected and he uses acupuncture needles to physically manipulate muscles and tissues to effect a physical response that is very noticeable and profound. read more

Loren I highly recommend. I tore my right rotator cuff was in really BAD shape on December 8th 2019. At a job where I was working for 15+ years where I was absolutely miserable with was manipulated and treated like .. on location at a holiday event, No help no support taking 0 responsibility was MORE worried about being sued than Actually helping me to ease my pain, Or anguish of my injury I went from being a bonified hustler working 3+ jobs creating my OWN business , and being extremely active, single mommy supporting US, and vibrant,fun to be around.. Pretty much to LOSING EVERYTHING I WORKED SO DAMN HARD TO GET ON MY OWN FOR ME, AND MY SON, And then for about almost 9 months now i have been in excruciating PAIN PARALYZING i couldn't even keep my head straight from the major neck strain, not being able to wear a bra or even a shirt the pain was just horrific, can't drive, shower, or even wash my hair couldn't do anything for myself, had to have my family to help me. I'm not the type of person to ask for help either... I was helpless.. I Received Cortisone shots, steroid shots, 7+ doctor appts. Since healthcare will not give me medi-cal I suffered tremendously, and ended up with MAJOR atrophy! Was taking pills for the pain.. those that know me I am a recovering drug addict for about 10+ years.. so for me to take my addiction for the pain was wearing on my soul ...from constant cold ice compresses, bed rest doing pretty much nothing with myself in deep deep depression, giving up... etc.. Now i went from Needing surgery and had no way of getting there..Pleased to say I'm SOOO GLAD i didn't do it, sometimes it causes more damage on your body then you can imagine, your body HEALS itself believe it or not... Here's my success story I was at 5% healed which is close to nothing!! Met someone wonderful thanks to Luba thank you so much for recommending Loren. After almost 3 months of pure hell/heaven weekly with injury acupuncture, cupping. herbs balancing my body, I'M NO LONGER DEPENDENT ON PAIN PILLS... from dreading my sessions to LOVING every session as I saw results drastically after 2 months. I'm pleased to announce I am about 85% HEALED. LOREN I love you!! Never thought I would see the day!! THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP ON ME. I HAVE FUCKING MUSCLE NOW!!!!! Almost back to HEATHER. Still have a bit to go but definitely seeing that light at the end of the tunnel. So blessed to have met this angel who changed my life drastically. THANK YOU LOREN! read more

Amazing results in a short amount of time! I taught group exercise for 15 years. I'm retired now, but still work out & hike. I've been in hip pain for years from overuse.

Loren was attentive, and very detailed when it came to my care. His knowledge and approach is by far one of the most meticulous I have ever experienced. The herbal medicine that he prescribed really helped me with my sleep, and overall health. His acupuncture technique was also very helpful to issue that I was having with pelvic tightness. read more

Can't even begin to tell you how much Loren has helped me. I've had a range of health problems from anxiety to digestive issues. Loren has always been so positive, informative, and reassuring. He always loves discussing his treatment plan and why he is choosing that specific path. During my acupuncture sessions, he would always walk everything through as a step by step process (especially because I was so intrigued!). He is constantly researching and studying new theories and methods, which is reassuring to me as his patient. I have always had some sort of immediate relief after each session, but experienced greater relief when I saw him on a regular basis. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone, he is part friend and part acupuncturist. He will definitely take care of you! read more

Loren is very effective. I suffered from hashimoto's and had terrible bouts of anxiety and cold limbs.

I came to seek Loren's help with my neck strain which was trickling down my lower back. It was my first experience with acupuncture and the relieve was instant. Complete with cupping and herbal, I felt total relieve within a few days and was able to go back to my regular exercise routine without pain! Specifically, the stubborn knot on my neck was gone and was able to turn my head with ease again. Loren's knowledge of the traditional Chinese medicine healing methods is impressive. As a Chinese national myself with some knowledge of Chinese medicine, I understood right away when he described that I had damped Qi, and he was correct! One could tell that Loren is passionate about his craft so that's why he is so good at it. During the session, he was gentle, attentive and able to explain everything every step of the way which made it a great experience. read more

I can't begin to express how much Loren has helped me. I've struggled with my digestion for years and I came to him when I was at my worst. He's turned my health around and I feel incredible!!!! Go do yourself a favor and go see Loren. read more

I've been to a ton of acupuncturists in my time, and Loren is the only one I'll ever go to any longer. Most accus will do these general things: stick needles in on the surface without feeling/scanning your problem areas, hook you up to the e-stem machine, turn on the pulsating machine and then leave the room for 20 minutes and return to pull out the needles and you're done. Not Loren. He stays in the room with you the entire time, always examining his work on your body to assess the progress. He goes deep and always, I mean, always makes me feel better. All the problem areas are opened up with the proper blood flow that your muscles need to recover properly. But, then it's up to you to try and maintain his advice to keep you out of pain. But, if you just can't because your job is demanding, or your positioned in a way that keeps you tight for some reason, just return to Loren, who I believe is a master. I wish I can give him a 100 stars and make him famous, because I can surmise that most of you out there are getting accu the American way, which on the surface and not deep enough. He's not afraid to go deep if nothing else has worked for you. And in my experience, it's been a good intensity to get the stiffness and blockage I've been riddled with. I wish you all the best in your recovery. And if you want the right love, care, and mastery to get you out of your stiffness troubles, reach out to Loren. You won't be sorry. Cheers! read more

A little over a year ago, I had an inexplicable break out of eczema/dermatitis. Aside from the lesions, my skin was very dry, and I felt like my finger nails became thin. I went through THREE different dermatologists, and non of them could give me any reason for a cause, or any treatment that made significant improvement. I started seeing Loren and received herbal treatment, and within a short amount of time my skin made dramatic improvements. Now it is 100% back to normal, and I have not had any return symptoms or issues. Ive since seen Loren for a few other mild ailments, and every time I have had the best of care, and outcome. I highly recommend seeing Loren Stiteler for any type of treatment. Also if you are skeptical of acupuncture, he is very good at demystifying the treatment and giving you a better understanding of what exactly is going on. read more

This is a great as it gets! Loren is by far one of the best acupuncturist I have seen and he has given me miraculous results. Insomnia was a big deal for me and after having treatment combined with Chinese herbs (pill form) I am much better. My hot flashes are beginning to subside as well thanks to him. A kind, gentle,studious practitioner, with whom I have had the pleasure of being treated by. Thanks Loren! read more

Loren has had the greatest success in treating my ailments over Many specialists and my long time talented chiropractor. He cares, he's communicative, and his services are affordable. (Advice) It took time for us to see results in my most difficult issues, and I had to truly be honest with him about what I could or could not handle each session. All patients will be different I think. He's been treating me a little over 6 months now and it's truly improving my health and pain, but you may have to really commit to the process like I did. Not bad for years and years of progressive illness and pain though. Even my western medicine docs have begun praising me for seeking alternative treatment! In Loren you will get a practitioner unlike any other. read more

Had my first Acupuncture experience with Loren and loved it. I was having lower back pain and he somehow knew exactly where it needed the most work done which helped relieve my tension and pain. I liked how detail he was with explaining everything he was doing and how knowledgeable he is. Highly recommend! read more
