  I have refractory RLS and daily gerd, heart burn. RLS hereditary, that happens everynight in a 2-6 hour window for last 25 years as i get older , 56 it is suffering. I have tried all pharmaceutical medicines closely with my doctor to no avail. They all reverse in weeks and cause worse side effects then actual RLS. Blood work for vitamin and mineral deficiency detection along with holistic treatments. Some help a little. So, last resort- acupuncture…. I responded with the first treatment with promising results. After witch I leveled off to a 30% improvement. However, i have continually gradually gotten better. I would say at a 70-75% improvement. It has been 3 months. We are at once every two weeks holding stability and consistency in improvement. Also, gerd is almost gone. Same process as Rls. I have and do practice a healthy diet and exercise routine. I needed this severely. On another note, financial. I was moved along as soon as possible with close attention to my response to twice a week to once a week to now once every two weeks once a month to four times a year maintenance is the plan at $120 a session. With instructions to contact Dr Marek if relapse seems to be happening in order to get me back in to as to remain a little bit longer before moving to next phase. Fortunately no relapses. Very professional, effective and worth it.

  I had originally looked into acupuncture for my back pain, but in speaking with Dr. Marek he said that acupuncture could help with my anxiety and so we moved ahead with a plan. Being in a challenging situation with my elderly mom living with us, and having anxiety prior to that, Dr. Marek did have quite the challenge on his hands to help my anxiety. Even after the first session, I could feel a difference, a significant difference! There were still some episodes, but nowhere near as severe and debilitating as it had been. Occasionally I would still get that little feeling of my anxiety symptoms trying to develop, but it would disappear within an hour or so. One of the most amazing things that has happened out of treatment is that I don't lie awake for an hour or so to fall asleep. I have been that way since I was a child and now I can fall asleep I believe in minutes, because I realize upon waking in the morning that I had not laid there for long time the night before. I have always wanted to be able to let things go, not nitpick and not let every little thing bother me but have been unable to become that person for as long as I can recall. Dr. Marek changed all that and really let me be the person I want to be, not all stressed out and anxious. It truly is a liberating feeling, one I have not experienced ever. I am so glad that I finally decided to try acupuncture and even more thrilled that I found Dr. Marek. So if you are on the fence about acupuncture or looking for a new practitioner, The Center for Advanced Acupuncture is truly the place you need to experience.

  About three years ago I received a diagnosis of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. At that time, the urologist prescribed me Flomax and essentially said, "It might get better, if it gets worse we can increase your dose.", and that was it. No real treatment plan. For the past three years I've just maintained the medication which has always helped with the symptoms (pain, discomfort, pressure, frequent urination, etc.) but never quite taken care of them. In February, I came to Dr. Marek to see if my condition could be treated with acupuncture and by my first visit he had already researched the condition and potential TCM treatment paths and had a treatment plan to go off of. Three months later, I can say that his acupuncture treatments have caused a significant decrease in all of the negative symptoms I experience from my CNBP. In addition, I've seen benefits to my mood, sleep, and other various minor conditions. He has always been very thorough and interested in how I am feeling across the board, and adjusts his treatments accordingly. He is easy-going and personable, which helps to make the whole experience a pleasant one each time I come in for a treatment. With his treatment I am currently hopeful that I will be able to stop taking the Flomax in the coming months and will update my review at that time. UPDATE: I have been completely off of my prescription for 3 months without any symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Marek.

  I’ve been going to Dr. Marek’s office for accupuncture for almost a year and the services are still going strong. My migraines, balance and hot flashes have calmed down greatly with consistency(Dec 14). Dr. Marek has given me a better quality of life. His methods have reduced my daily pain levels tremendously. 07/31/2024: For the last 20-30 days, I started having chronic pain and balance issues. I haven’t had these issues for the last couple of years and out of no where, it re-surfaced again. So I had to call Dr. Marek for relief. Once I got to my appointment, he inserted gold ear needles/pins in my ears and after my 45 minutes on the accupuncture table, the pain started to subside. After a day or so, my balance issue went away and it eased my chronic pain, which made me feel so much better….very grateful your services!!

  Awesome experience, the place and environment is making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Peter Marek is an exceptional person who cares deeply about his patients. He really listened to my health issues and took the time to help me understand how acupuncture can help me too. I have already seen great improvement after few sessions. After the first treatment my shoulder pain was completely gone for a few days and just starting returning before my next appointment. Since then the issue with my shoulder has been nearly resolved, my foot is not bothering me now, and I used to take migraine pills every couple days, and I don’t take that often at any more. I can’t wait to go back for another treatment!
