I am a nurse practitioner in Manhattan and have been to several conferences where research is presented proving that acupuncture helps with non-specific back pain, side effects of cancer treatments (such as xerostomia and neuropathy), and mental health issues. I decided to check it out for myself!
Johnson has been treating me for trapezius pain since fall of 2017. My pain level has dropped from about an 8 of 10, so much that it was waking me up at night, to an everyday 2 of 10, where I hardly notice it unless I do an activity that exacerbates the issue.
Johnson is extremely professional and knowledgeable about his trade as well as eastern medicine in general! His practice environment is clean and calming. He uses electro-acupuncture and cupping to help ease muscle spasms and increase circulation. We have also used these techniques to ease my acne flare ups as well as stress levels! And we used blood-letting of the ears for inflammatory issues. I highly recommend Johnson! Besides being amazing at his job he is friendly and easy to talk to, which makes the...
   Read moreI had never gotten acupuncture before, but I had wanted to try it out hoping it would help with my chronic back pain. I’m so glad I finally decided to try acupuncture and I’m even more glad that Johnson is my provider! He takes time to really discuss what issues I have been having and that guides his treatment. He lets me know what I should expect to feel and when he stimulates the needles he ensures that there is no discomfort. I didn’t even ask for cupping therapy, but he suggested it as something additional that may help my back pain and I just love it. I see him primarily for my chronic low back pain, but he has helped me with stress and anxiety around test time, tension in my shoulders after a long day, women’s health problems, and has even told me to take a nap while I’m there! As a nurse, I don’t know how acupuncture works, but I appreciate Johnson’s skill set in helping to relieve my chronic pain. I recommend him to anyone that is considering...
   Read moreBefore trying acupuncture, I suffered from severe stress headaches, I would frequently wake up in the middle of the night feeling stressed for absolutely no reason, and I experienced extreme back and shoulder pain. I was looking for any suggestions/solutions and my friends recommended that I go here. I am so happy that I listened to them, because acupuncture is genuinely the way to go. I can confidently say that after going consistently for the past six months, my back pain has been reduced significantly, I no longer wake up in the middle of the night, and I feel way better rested when I wake up. I actively look forward to going to acupuncture w/ Xing every week as he creates a space where I can genuinely de-stress. His solutions are always catered to target your specific issues and he is extremely skilled! I highly recommend that everyone tries and gives acupuncture/cupping a chance and...
