For months, I was living with intermittent low back pain, which turned into low back spasms. The locking of my back and residual pain would send me to the couch for days smelling like icy hot and ultimately kept me from training. After Dr Dan did my initial assessment, he also asked me about my hip. I had been living with a chronic, achy pain from an old snowboarding injury, leaving me unable to sustain sleep on my right side. Dr Dan told me he could fix that too. And he did!!! I haven’t had a back spasm since my first week of acupuncture and I can finally sleep through the night on my right side without any pain. That wasn’t even why I was there in the first place but he fixed that too!!!! I highly recommend all athletes make an appointment to see him. Dr Dan is very knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about his practice.

Fantastic results! I could write a paper on my experience, but for anyone reading, I will save you time and be brief. I was a skeptic and was surprised my doctor even suggested alternative therapy. The deciding factor for me was the fact that I had tried everything else. My two issues were my post surgical lower back and a 5 year old shoulder injury. Dan spent a lot of time testing weakness areas on my upper and lower body. Turns out, I was a bit of a mess. Coming into the appointment, I realized that you can’t fix years of pain in one session, so I decided to go to the recommended number of sessions. After the first session, I was sore in my back and felt immediate improvement in my shoulder. I returned because of how much better the shoulder felt. The back started improving after the 3rd session. At this point, I went from skeptic to believer. I saw Dan each week for a month. As I healed, we tapered the appointments to 2 weeks, then a month. I am basically on a maintenance schedule now and feel better than I have in years.

Dan definitely helped me feel way better. I played for the Bills and suffered from a broken pelvis and double sports hernia. I was healing but still had pain in my adductor I went there two weekends ago. Before and after he would give me a strength test before treatment my adductor were sore and wasn’t able to produce strength, about 45 min later, I was able to resist and keep his hand from pushing me in. Then I also went the following weekend and all the pain I was having is gone. He’s a great guy and knows what he is doing.

Before going to see Dan I was experiencing chronic neck pain and headaches following a traumatic whiplash injury. He was able to combine a number of very effective techniques to help me achieve relief. I now only occasionally experience headaches, and my neck pain is gone. Although I am feeling much better than I was on that initial visit, I still schedule to see Dan once every month to two months to help maintain my health and wellness! Dan is excellent at what he does and I recommend him to all of my patients!

I have bilateral hip bursitis which caused extreme lower back tightness and pain on top of the acuye sharp pain I constantly felt in both hips. I had the million dollar workup including cortisone shots and a muscle relaxant prescription, all of which did absolutely nothing. I had not slept in over two years and was resolved to living with this chronic pain. One visit with Dan changed my life. One hip was 100% pain free, the other was 50% better and my back was so much better. 4 weeks later, I’m 100% pain free, I have amazing sleep which gives me great quality of life. I’m on a maintenance plan now and I refer him to anyone I hear talk about pain. He will change your life.

Dan is among the best medical professionals I have ever worked with. I suffered a back injury about 7 years prior. It wasn’t until I was introduced to Dan that someone took the time to understand my back story and look to treat the cause rather than the symptoms. After my first appointment with Dan I immediately began to feel some pain relief and with some regular treatment I was able to make a full recovery and run again. I hesitate to trust anyone other than Dan with my treatment. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want someone that works to fix the problem and not just treat your symptoms and make you a patient for life, look no further than Dan.

Dr. Dan is the only specialist I would trust with my back and sports injuries. He does a specific kind of acupuncture that works fantastic for my chronic sports injuries like plantar fascitis, knee pain, pulled hamstring, frozen shoulder. He’s helped me continue to get my PR’s and able to perform at my best even when other doctor’s have told me there is no way I’ll be able to run in the weekend race. A miracle worker, if he doesn’t have a solution, he will make one!
