Foot Pain
I came to ACFOM as a deliberate choice for treatment of
a foot condition that had been diagnosed and
re-diagnosed by several doctors, who identified and then
revised their theories about the condition - gout,
sprain, arthritis, plantar fasciitis - and finally they
recommended I go to see a pain specialist. The condition
at the time was expressed not only by stiffness,
soreness, and swelling, but also by painful sensitivity
to touch - even the contact of a bed sheet was scarcely
bearable. I could not go to my office for nearly half
the workdays over a period of a month and was having
trouble sleeping, and the whole affair had me quite
depressed.
Instead of seeing the pain specialist at the hospital, I
decided to try a different option. You became my pain
specialist. The choice was significant for me especially
because - as you soon became aware - I was not
well-behaved in the presence of needles. You described
the course of treatment and the timing and expected
outcomes. We agreed on a series of ten sessions over a
period of several weeks. The pain began to diminish
before we were halfway through. By the end of the
series, I still had a somewhat sore foot but the pain
was gone. I was fully functional at work and was able to
return to my fitness schedule.
That was not the only benefit of the experience. I came
to value my sessions with you for the sense of peace and
well-being I experienced at ACFOM. I delighted in your
droll humor and your commentaries about acupuncture,
Chinese medicine, and life in general. I loved the
rooms, the cleanliness, the sound of the wood doors
sliding, the calm, and then the dark and the quiet, and
the tea graciously offered at the session's end. I
always had something to take home and think about after
our sessions. I became more mindful of the need for
balance in all the activities of my life - diet,
breathing, interaction with others, my behavior at work,
the general pacing of things. The measure of the whole
effect of the treatments - to me - is that I feel
conscious every day of the experience at ACFOM . . .
always in a good way.

Fertility
I'm a Mommie! I thank you both so much for helping
me out. I'm sorry I didn't call sooner and let you know.
But the pregnancy was great. Debbie B.
I had previously tried acupuncture for fertility with
another practitioner without success. Jeanie keeps up to
date on research and tried many novel techniques with
me. I am now quite pregnant and only have the best
things to say about Jeanie. Debbie T.
Back Pain
During our vacation in summer 2004, I injured my back. I
was in very bad shape; the pain was unbearable, couldn't
sit at all, so to fly home from our vacation was a very
big challenge. Luckily for me, A Center for Oriental
Medicine had opened in Wilmette and, without any
hesitation, I went there to look for help. Right away,
Jason made me feel at ease and I started a course of
treatment. I feel great now, but will remember forever
how much care, kindness, patience, and knowledge I
received from Jason. My husband and I are grateful
forever.
Wrist pain
My Wrist feels fine now. No more pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
I have had no recurrence since my treatment.
My wrist remains pain-free. Kathleen A.
Neck pain and irregular periods
I was so grateful for the healing of my neck and my
cycle. I'm happy to report that both are on track and
that I feel great. Jenny F.
Headache
I definitely feel a lot less stress, and now I have
no more headaches. Solana V.
I used to get migraines several times a month.
After my first session with Jason, the frequency and
intensity of my headaches began to diminish. After
a few weeks I was headache free and off the medication I
had been using for years. After my headaches
resolved, Jeanie and Jason helped boost my fertility and
we soon conceived our child. I didn't think
anything would be able to help me, but now I am a
believer in acupuncture. D. W.
Ankle pain
I came in with a twisted, swollen ankle. An hour later,
it had improved as much as it had over 3 weeks without
treatment. Lucky G.
General
Your service is excellent and the office is an oasis
of calm and serenity. Jason is very attentive and
professional and explains his methods and goals. I've
enjoyed it very much. May T.
Very calming atmosphere and inviting, You're doing
great job. Barbara M.
My condition has improved. You are very
professional. Ed S.
The office is comfortable, professional, and
conducive to healing. I liked that when I was being
treated it was quiet and there were not other patients
being shuttled around. I felt that my comfort and
privacy were respected. You guys are great!! A.W.
I always found the facility especially warm and
inviting, I felt comfortable and well taken care of and
very relaxed when I left. Thank you for taking such good
card of me. Also, I love the bell; you never fell left
alone. (Patients are given a bell to ring in case
they need to call a practitioner while the needles are
in.) Tracey S.
Jason and Jeanie provide a very welcoming,
nurturing atmosphere at the center that facilitates
relaxation and healing. They provide their services very
graciously with attention to detail in the environment
as well as their services.; Their professional services
are very competently provided in a very hospitable
manner. In other words, each person is treated with
great respect and care. Kay F.
