Words simply cannot describe how amazing my experience was getting acupuncture with Robert. He explained everything about the treatments to me and made me feel very comfortable. He knew exactly what I needed in order for my pain to be alleviated and after one session I felt the difference, something I have never felt in any other acupuncturist office! It was as if I was in the clouds! I highly recommend him, if you plan on getting acupuncture he is your guy!

I come from a long history of lower back pain. About 3 years ago I was in a really bad shape so I started to try many different things to get better. Honestly nothing seemed to help until a good friend said “I have an amazing acupuncturist. Would you like to try him?”. Well, at first I didn’t believe in acupuncture but I was so desperate and I thought ” Whatever happens it wont make it worse.” My first day at Robert I was very stress out and running late from work and as soon I walked in I felt better. Robert is a very caring person! He takes time to get to know you and your issues before anything. The place smells good and it has a great calm vibe. I have no words to explain how great Giordano Acupuncture is. His session is not just acupuncture, he talks to you, he knows cup technique, his body massage is amazing and the acupuncture he does really works. Every time I go to him I get out very relax and my pain is much much better. I believe Robert is gifted and I would highly recommend him if you suffer from any discomfort, pain, anxiety or stress. If I could I would see him every single day because what he does makes a difference.

Over the 18 years I’ve known him, Robert has done wonders for my back and sciatica pain. I came to him with severe lower back pain on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. I’d been wearing a ‘belt’ for months, was in constant discomfort, and could not even bend down to pick up my cat’s dish without significant pain. I had already tried standard Western medicine, several kinds of physical therapy, several chiropractors, and an MD who did acupuncture. Nothing made a dent. But after six weeks of shiatsu massage with Robert, my back pain was virtually gone. I continued to see Robert for a while, and learned enough about the pressure points to avoid future problems; my back has *never* given me any more trouble. He’s also done a wonderful job recently with my tight iliotibial band problem. I’ve recommended many friends to Robert, and can never thank him enough for all his help. (I should add that after my back pain left me, I was able at age 50 to take up swing dancing…which I still do at 68.) May I also say that when he uses the Tibetan bowls, the sound is just beautiful – like being underwater or in outer space…or perhaps both simultaneously.

I have been Robert’s patient for 2 years now. I started because I was stressed and had serious problems to sleep. After 3 months of treatment I was sleeping like a baby. Now I look for every excuse to see him and he never disappoints me. He is very professional, careful and I wish there were more professionals like Robert Giordano.

I’ve been a patient of Giordano now approximately 5 or 6 years. I’ve had mercury poisoning which lead to neurological complications. I have to say that getting acupuncture with Giordano has improved the areas of numbness and increased blood flow on my lower extremities. He listens carefully, is patient and explains his course of action with the needles. Visiting him is like seeing a masseur, chiropractor and acupuncturist all-in-one.

I’ve been seeing Robert since June and I’ve been feeling better with my back pain. Robert is very friendly and besides the needles and cupping, he also gives you an adjustment that feels very good. when I am finished with my session I feel much better .I recommend Robert Giordano as an acupuncturist.

Robert is very thoughtful and thorough in his treatment. He asks very specific questions and explains their relevance. He has adjusted the acupuncture to my changing needs throughout my pregnancy in order to relieve tightness in my back, improve my circulation and reduce the overall stress in my body. I believe this has improved my overall health.

Robert Giordano’s treatments have been very effective in helping me relieve pain. Robert is very pleasant, knowledgeable, understanding, and patient with me. I am most impressed at how he knows exactly where the source of my pain is! I think it can be difficult to trust someone to stick needles in you or cup your skin especially when you are face down as I am. However, I trust Robert and have gotten great results with him. Thanks Robert!

Acupunture FAQs

Chinese medicine uses thin sterile filiform needles to access and activate Qi (pronounced “chee” – most closely translated into Western thought as “vital energy”), which helps nurture the body back to health by helping resolve energy imbalances.

Acupuncture needles are solid, not hollow like needles used by medical doctors. They are hair-thin and can literally be bent with your pinky. Only sterile, disposable needles are used so there is no risk of infection. We use a needle once, then dispose of it.

People experience the needling sensation differently. There are different styles of needling. I needle in a traditional Chinese style, which is gentle yet induces enough sensation to achieve a positive result. Acupuncture needles are rarely described as painful, and can be quickly adjusted if the patient feels any discomfort.

If any unpleasant sensation is experienced during insertion, it is often compared to a mosquito bite and disappears very quickly. Once the needles are inserted, they may be manipulated to obtain a mild “Qi” sensation.

This is how an acupuncturist engages the energy and biochemical responses in your body in order to balance it. Often people describe their sensations as warming, heavy, numb or tingling.

I take great care to make my patients very comfortable so that they can relax while the needles are in place. The more you can relax during an acupuncture treatment, the better the results. Many people even fall asleep during treatment.

Following treatment it is common to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation and calm.

No. Acupuncture works whether or not you think it will. Acupuncture is even used successfully on animals and children. They do not understand or believe in the process yet they get better anyway. Of course a positive attitude helps with any type of therapy but it is not necessary to believe in acupuncture (or to feel it working) for it to work.

Since positive expectations and belief in a particular therapy help to increase therapeutic results, I encourage you to raise any concerns or doubts you may have about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I’d like to help you to better understand acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine so that you may have the most positive healing experience possible.

You are invited to contact me today, and I will personally respond to any questions or comments promptly.

In general, I tell my patients they should start to feel the benefits from acupuncture in 1-3 treatments. If the problem is acute, sometimes improvement is felt after 1 treatment, and may only need 2-3 treatments to resolve. If the problem is chronic and long term, it may take many treatments to help resolve.

Typically I treat patients once a week. If the condition is acute and painful, I may want to do treatments 2-3 times per week for the first couple of weeks. The benefits of acupuncture treatments tend to hold longer as you receive treatments, so what typically happens is that my patients start to need to see me less and less, so after a while they come periodically for maintenance.

More insurance companies are now covering acupuncture. You need to check with your provider. I am currently out of network with United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I also accept No-Fault and Worker’s Compensation.
