Before Covid, I developed this chronic itch all over my body. It affected my sleep and my overall way of life for a few years.I did see my primary and an allergist for my condition. I was told it could be stress related and was given pills for my symptoms. I then decided to see Dr. Mags at Zara Acupuncture. I have been seeing her for over a year, and I have to say, what she does, it works! Since starting with her, my symptoms have become less and less. Now, I don't remember when my last episode was. Dr. Mags is so knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth. I continue to go to her as I find that my sessions with her helps my day-to-day stuff. Also, her practice is beautiful- such a calming space to walk into. Going to acupuncture isn't a one-and-done deal. Give it time. You will see results.

But treatment with Magdlen helped to lessen the pain on the first visit, I have heard to visit acupunturist to help with Migrianes, but never had the time to visit one, But since i was on vacation and really wanted to enjoy the last week there, i went to see Magdalen , and I am glad i did! Other than been great on what she does, She is super kind and it really nice to know that providers are not losing the bedside manner and really takes the time to listen and get to know you, NOT the only problem that i have, is that i dont live close by to see her every week :) But she made me beleive on acuputure and It's worth a try.

Dr. Mark helped me when I was a sad, snotty, sickly mess. He helped me when Western medicine had…read morelet me down, and when I was desperate for a cure. He had the cure, kids - him and his magic needles. For some, acupuncture is a scary thought. Not for me. I totally believe in its powers and I totally believe it got me well. Mixed with herbal supplements and plenty of rest, Acupuncture got rid of my horrible pneumonia and all the gloriousness that goes along with it. I called Dr. Mark at the hight of my illness. I sounded so horrible on the phone, the man took pity on me and scheduled a time to see me that day, which was his day off! We spent a few hours together, discussing my symptoms, what I had done prior to seeing him, and my life in general. He was calm and kind and reassuring. I was totally comfortable. He then did some cupping, which I had never done before but was quite intrigued by. It wasn't nearly as painful as I had predicted, and I loved the way the heated cups felt like they were pulling every toxin from my ailing body. Then we got to the acupuncture. Now, I will tell you in all honesty it isn't painless - there are a few areas (on my body, at least) that are very sensitive and you can feel the energy coursing through your body when he inserts those pins, man. Thankfully, he's very chatty and explains everything which is such a comfort to inquiring minds like my own. Within a few hours, I felt better. Within a few days, I felt much better. I went back a week later, we did more treatments and continued with the herbs and rest and now I am like a new woman. Acupuncture also helps with stress, insomnia and digestion. And cramps. And headaches. And just about anything. Dr. Mark is my buddy now, and I look forward to seeing him when I do... Needles and all.

Seeing Dr. Mark is, without a doubt, one of the best things I've ever done for myself. He is kind…read moreand gentle and comforting. He is experienced and knowledgable and reassuring. He listens so well; he truly hears you. He understands what's going on with me, physically and emotionally, every single time I see him - whether it's been a week or a month or a year. I've been seeing him off-and-on for over 6 years due to the fluctuating nature of money in my life; in a perfect world I could see him every week and I would be calm and centered all the time. Oh well. For now, I'll stick with going whenever I can. (Get it, STICK WITH, like needles??) (I'm sorry.)

Yvette is a true healer and one of the most calming and generous people I have ever met. She…read moretreated me for over seven years, during which I was in graduate school and under extreme stress. She absolutely changed my life and empowered me to take of myself in a whole new way. Yvette treated my chronic migraines with both acupuncture and herbal prescriptions, greatly reducing my pain and frequency. She was also the only medical practitioner who could solve a months-long acid reflux episode (despite the gastroenterologist having previously told me I would have reflux for life!) The only reason I no longer see Yvette is I have moved out of Rhode Island, but I make an appointment whenever I am back in town! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was impressed from the first visit with the careful, thoughtful attention she gives to what I am saying while mentally noting what she observes from her holistic approach. Her desire for her patients to improve is quite apparent...she seems to be constantly evaluating, assessing, making adjustments in treatment to yield the best results. Another reviewer said this: "She was on an all-out mission to eradicate the source of my condition." And I can't say it better myself. Within a short time migraine frequency and duration began to lessen...which is amazing as nothing else had worked to truly lessen them since they began in 1997. And other symptoms have improved as well :) In addition to sharing her expertise in acupuncture, Yvette has great knowledge of nutrition, herbs, cycles in the body...I could go on...This has been my first experience with acupuncture and I knew nothing about it prior. I recommend Yvette all the time. I am sure there are other good acupuncturists but I never tell someone they should "try acupuncture" I tell them they should see Yvette.

Previously, I had taken the conventional route of rest, ice, electronic stimulation, ibuprofen and physical therapy. Unfortunately, the recovery period lasted almost 3 months!

Over the next few sessions Lili continued to improve not only my hamstring pain, but my energy levels and sense of well being.

Dr. Liu is gentle and explains where he's placing the needles as he goes. Part of acupuncture treatment includes the doctor leaving the office after the needles are placed for about fifteen minutes. I think that information is helpful-especially if it's your first treatment. I've actually fallen sleep during this short period of time! His office accepts insurance coverage so worth checking out if your plan covers it. Holding back a star because it's tough to schedule appointments during the week. Availability trends between 10 -4 and each treatment is about an 45 mins to an hour start to finish. There are Saturday appointments available,however, and that's what I've been taking advantage of. Treatment rooms are clean and private. Abundant parking in the back of the building on Reservoir Ave. To get to the point, I'd recommend this office (;

My daily pain is almost gone now. I don't have to see an orthopedic doctor, and I don't have to get an epidural shot. I no longer take muscle relaxers or 800 mg. of precipitation strength Motrin. After one or two more visits, I will see Dr. Belanger for a maintenance adjustment. I've been singing the praises of this chiropractor to a number of locals, and I will continue to do so. He has helped me tremendously. Walking and climbing stairs are no longer an issue for me. Dr. Belanger's receptionist was also able to fit me in the very day that I called. Dr. Belanger is also now the sole owner of this business. The office is conveniently located on Salt Pond Road (close to the Two Ten Oyster Bar and Grill. There is plenty of parking.

I am feeling so much better now. I had worked in the medical field for over 35 years at RIH, and the one thing that I appreciate also with him along with his assistance Miranda is they show much personal compassion and concern for their patients. That is something that I found lacking in hospitals by many of the staff. Treating a patient is not just physical, but treating a patient with respect, compassion and concern for them is just as important, if not more important sometimes. So, again I am so happy that I am being treated by Dr. Belanger and his assistant Miranda. You will not be sorry being treated here by them. Allan Z.

This was my first visit to see Stephanie Fischer, DA, MAC at this clinic…read more The clinic was lovely and inviting. It was really nice to be in your own cozy heated room. The table was heated + there was a heating lamp on my tootsies. So awesome. I love being warm. Especially when it is 27 degrees out today! I received Acupuncture + Moxibustion treatments. For me this was the first time to have treatments on the back side of my body. It was a whole body experience. Very calming + relaxing. Stephanie is not only the nicest person ever she truly pays attention to your needs. I was incredibly comfortable with her + she was very careful with me explaining the procedures and answering my questions. I felt a significant difference when I left the clinic and plan on going back often. New energy indeed. Make sure to drink plenty of water afterwards! There is plenty of street parking or a small lot off to the right side. The clinic is located on the bottom floor. If healing the natural way is your thing, this is your kinda place!
