A place you MUST try. Don't give up.... there is hope :) I had been experiencing sciatic pain in my left hip area for months prior to coming and seeing Dr. Manuel (as well as other "issues"). Prior to my visit I began learning about stretches, saw chiropractors, bought all kinds of contraptions to relieve my pain but was relegated to taking about 4-8 Ibuprofens and 4 aspirin a day to "dull" the throbbing pain. If you know, you know. When you have pain like this you feel helpless. Your thoughts get dark, you lose hope and now everyday, all day is just about managing your pain and "hoping" you find relief. And LOTS of prayer. The clinic approaches the entire body which is really what needs to happen. I have learned a lot and am learning about my nervous system and inflammation, fight or flight status, etc, etc. Because I have been so GOGOGOGOGO.... for many years... this stuff catches up and from my experience your nervous system can get "locked" in place in a mode that is really only meant for certain activities. I could not "unlock" myself if that makes sense... Come to find out (and this really wasn't news to me but a reality I have had to face) is that some of the foods I ate were also causing inflammation and contributing to my body's reactions. Dr. Manuel had me take a hair follicle exam with results of foods that my body, in its current state, just wont metabolize well and as I have been experimenting I concur... some foods just don't like me. :) I have had about 25+ visits which include cupping and acupuncture. I can tell you that after my first visit... I was amazed. I had restored movement in my body that I never know I could get back and all this from "needles". It was mind blowing but started to make sense as Dr. Manuel and the team has taught me about the pathways of the nerves and clearing pathways for your body to heal. I have taken a few steps ahead and a few back during the last 6 months and that is just how it goes but..... I am at least 70% better today. I can travel for hours on planes, go into different time zones, and stress my body... and I don't fall apart like I used to. I'm learning how to approach my body holistically - the WHOLE MAN.... not just trying to get rid of the "symptoms". Once I started this journey with Dr. Manuel, I realized these "symptoms" of mine have been going on for a while, my body was trying to tell me, but my headstrong GOGOGOGO attitude kept ignoring the signs. Now... I want to be completely healthy, at least as much as this 50 year old body can be, and WeMed is playing a HUGE role in that. I no longer have to take Ibuprofen or aspirin and to me... that is huge. I would encourage you to visit them. It's not a gimmick and they really do care about your health, spend ALOT of time individually with you and over the course of time... you will begin to see the benefits. Some I'm sure will be instantly "cured", some like myself have a bit longer journey to "heal" which includes food, rest, purposeful relaxing myself, etc etc. At least while here in this body....you deserve to function as God originally meant for you. There is wisdom here at WeMed and I encourage...
Read moreI have been visiting weMED Woodlands since June 2023 and I have had a great experience with all the practitioners.
In the beginning of 2024, I began my journey as a "wellness patient" under Dr. Manuel Martinez and it has been a wonderful experience, to say the least. Dr Martinez is very caring, professional, and patiently worked with me to address my allergies, cervical radiculopathy and overall inflammation in my body. I have also successfully lost body weight and maintained the weight loss with his guidance and support. The herbal remedies have been instrumental in suppressing my immune response to allergens. Ultimately, being a part of the wellness program taught me to create small and sustainable changes in my lifestyle to maintain optimal health and wellness.
I could have never imagined the kind of relief acupuncture and cupping would give me to address my issues, but I am very grateful to have found this place and...
Read moreI recently visited Dr. Martinez for a severe headache, and I can’t express how much he helped me. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Martinez took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment process.
He used a combination of acupuncture and cupping, which I found both relaxing and effective. After that first session my headache went away! Since then my daily headaches have significantly decreased, and I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall well-being. I decided to continue my sessions with him to help reset my nervous system, and the results have been fantastic.
If you're considering acupuncture, cupping or just need an overall boost to your health, I highly recommend Dr. Martinez. His expertise and genuine care make all...
