Woman Who Has a Weight Problem
L.B. Female, age 58
I am a 58 year old woman who has a weight problem, type 2 diabetes, a very arthritic hip, lower back pain, high blood pressure & cholesterol, allergies and a history of migraine headaches, not to mention on multiple prescriptions. If someone had told me 2 months ago that I should try acupuncture to get relief I would have told them they were NUTS. I have since changed my mind considerably. Dr. Rapkin has a very reassuring, calm demeanor and knows whereof he speaks. The treatment rooms are warm and comfortable with gentle music in the background. It is NOT a painful procedure by any means and the confidence of Dr. Rapkin is very reassuring.
I have been following the dietary advice and am in the process of gently loosing weight, my digestion is improved and my diabetic numbers are lowering. I am actually taking less medication for diabetes than when I started.
My back pain is improving every week and my arthritic hip (which I hadn’t been able to sleep on for two years) is calming so that I can lie on that side again without the sharp pain that I had daily. Needless to say again without the sharp pain that I had daily. Needless to say I am very grateful for Dr. Rapkin’s expertise.
In one session I arrived with a nasty headache. When I mentioned the headache, he said to me, “Take off your sock”…… At the end of the session I left without a headache and without sinus congestion as well.
My sleep pattern has changed also, from waking up 3 to 5 times a night to waking up once or twice. I sleep deeper and more restfully than I have in several years and all of this because of acupuncture. I am still in treatment and enjoying the many improvements already in transition. Thank you Dr. Rapkin, I am sincerely grateful to have found you.

I had not had a normal period for years. When I did have a period, it was extremely painful. I was not able to function well at work and my family stayed away from me a few days per month. I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. I also began to take sleeping pills. After the first week of acupuncture, I slept like a baby for the first time in a long time. Six weeks later I no longer required my other medications. For the last four months my periods have been normal. I have never experienced anything like it; I don't even know that they are coming. No cramping and no pain! I do continue my acupuncture treatments and I always will. I couldn't dream for more than this. I thank everyone at the Kindo Integrated Health Center for their education and caring. I would not have known that acupuncture could have made such a difference in my health.
