What can I say - Doc Fields. When I came into Doc's office I was in excruciating pain - I could not even sit at the desk to work and could barely drive to his office, let alone do my workouts, due to acute neck/shoulder pain and left arm numbness. I am 53 and have been very active my entire adult life - starting to develop some sports injuries from years of weightlifting, jiu jitsu, running, and other activities - currently dealing with multiple herniated discs in my neck, a torn labrum in my left shoulder, and have been told by my orthopedist that I need a left hip replacement. After my first few acupuncture treatments with Doc, my neck/shoulder pain and numbness was gone and has been gone since - I am able to work comfortably at the computer for hours on end as I need to. Fortunately, at this moment my upper body is basically pain free with few limitations. Doc also began homeopathic injections in my hip, and I have been able to go off anti-inflammatories (which I had been on for a few months, prescribed by my orthopedist), so now I am taking NO medication - not even aspirin. The best part is, I am back to full go on my workouts - I even started upper body weights again, and am able to do my 3.2 mile run regularly. I am also doing Shaun T Insanity regularly, believe it or not, and while I wouldn't say the hip is 100%, I have no real limitations and generally minimal discomfort. I am also swimming and doing full Murphs (crossfit workout) - all of this is due to Doc Fields. Incredible. Hard to say enough. In addition, he is a wonderfully pleasant and cool guy - also an athlete and martial artist so that is very very helpful in terms of the perspective he brings to what he does, as he is also able to consult on a lot of physiological and fitness-related medical matters. Doc Fields is the best. I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT be doing the things I am doing...
Read moreI first came in to see Dr. Fields (1-2 months ago) due to a variety of symptoms I have had for over two years now. Digestive issues, night sweats, chronic infection issues, constant headaches, difficulty sleeping, severe fatigue, brain fog and confusion... I had been seeing multiple specialists for these last two years trying to understand what has been going on and how these symptoms connect. All every doctor has been able to tell me is that my labs are fine and I'm fine. But I wasn't.
After seeing Dr. Fields he was able to connect a lot of those dots for me and between the treatments in his office as well as the supplements etc that he put me on I have seen HUGE improvement in just these two months. Some of my symptoms are completely gone, and the others are already anywhere from 50-80% better.
Another detail that is very important to me as I had seen other similar doctors in the past is understanding "why" things happen the way they do, and "why" would a particular treatment be recommended. Other doctors were unable to provide me clear answers on this, yet Dr. Fields has taken his time to explain to me scientifically and in detail the WHY for all of my questions.
There is a lot to be said for working with someone who takes the time to find the root of the problem and work on correcting it from the bottom up. I am so grateful to have even that 50% quality of life back, and by a more natural approach at that!...
Read moreI went to see Dr. Fields initially due to a twitch in my right eye. I had already gone to an ENT, an optometrist and had multiple CAT scans to try to correct my condition. I can honestly say nothing helped; in fact the twitch was getting worse. I saw Dr. Fields on Google and decided to try a different route. I knew nothing about acupuncture but figured it had been around for thousands of years and it was worth a try. Thank goodness I decided to make an appointment. After a thorough talk about what I was experiencing, Dr. Fields proceeded to begin a course of treatment that has made my twitch not only bearable, but on many days non existent. He put me on a regimen of strictly organic supplements that, in addition to helping me with my eye, have also eliminated my restless leg syndrome, increased my energy levels and have even contributed to a weight loss. The actual acupuncture itself is painless and my session is one of the most relaxing times of the week for me. What I like best, in addition to the obvious benefits I am having health-wise, is that Dr. Fields isn't trying to 'sell' me on anything but good health. He listens to what my experiences were for the previous week and he adapts accordingly. I can't recommend Dr. Fields and Integrative Medicine...
