I have been a patient of Carla's for about 5 months now, and I have to say that choosing to have accupuncture is the best decision I have ever made, in regards to my health.
Prior to my first appointment, I had constant daily pain in my back due to degenerated disks, and 30 years of pain in my right arm, elbow and wrist from an old injury.
My pain has since virtually dissappeared, or been so reduced, I have forgotten how much I used to hurt all the time!!!
In addition to reaping the rewards of not being in constant pain, I no longer need to take daily anti inflammatory medication.
I have also seen other changes in my body that until mentioned didn't even realize, as far as my body's core was like an oven and I was constantly burning up/overheating from the inside out. My body temperature seems to be more evenly regulated now.
I also have gained a new friend in Carla, as she is one of the most friendly, compassionate, genuine and down to earth caring people around. She listens to you, stays in touch, and treats you like you are a fellow human, not some name on a piece of paper.
Carla explains what she is doing and the purpose of it, and what the results are for different areas of your body, so it's not just you laying there not knowing/understanding what is taking place and why, for those of us who want to know what and why.
Carla's office is very peaceful, where you can unwind, destress, and relax with music, seasalt lamp and aromatherapy, while being treated.
The treatments improve your over all health, and far out last "just a massage" at a spa.
If you have been living with pain, tired of taking pills and getting little to no relief at all, and open to trying something that is 3000 years old with PROVEN benefits, try accupuncture!!!

Read moreI recently came to White Lotus because I wrenched my back and was in severe pain. Being new to the Bayonne area, I did not know what providers were good. I was desperate for help because of the severe pain that I was in as well as my limited mobility. I also have a demanding job and a 15 month old to take care of which only heightened my stress. I used sites like Yelp to try and identify accupuncturists in the area, paying close attention to customer reviews to try and guide my decisions. White Lotus was one of the places that came up that had great reviews. I even spoke to another provider in the area who recommended Carla from White Lotus as a great option for support. Carla did not disappoint. She was immediately accommodating, seeing me on a Sunday because of the pain I was in. From my first appointment, I saw immediate results and felt relief. By my third, my pain was significantly better and my mobility 90% back to normal. Her approach and bed side manner gave me immediate ease. My appointments were never rushed and Carla made sure that I was comfortable every...
Read moreAfter five months of steroid and pain-killer injections, physical therapy, prescription strength NSAID medications (oral AND topical), I still had severe pain in my knees and was using a cane. I spent most of my time on the couch, since standing up and even walking was so painful. I couldn't sleep at night and was in a deep depression.
My first treatment with Carla brought me immediate relief. At first, the pain disappeared for just a few days after treatment; then the relief extended longer. After four treatments, I am pain-free. I tossed my cane aside and I sprint up and down the stairs. I am so thankful to have found Carla -- her professionalism is extraordinary. She explains exactly what she is doing and ALWAYS checks up the day after treatment to see how I'm doing. Her office is spotless and the treatments are extremely relaxing, with soothing music in the background. I STRONGLY recommend Carla and would advise anyone to try acupuncture as a treatment whenever traditional medicine...
