Acupuncture made me feel both relaxed and energized. I will never forget during
one of my earlier treatments actually feeling increase in blood flow! There is minimal to no pain with needle application.On recommendation of Dr. Tad I stopped drinking icy beverages as
well as stopped eating raw foods, and dairy. I have a nice warm tea with every meal, usually spiced Chai, which has ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon which aids in digestion. Also eat very little meat.
I was able to discontinue 4 of the 10 medications I was using and cut in half majority of the others-with the expectation of also discontinuing those as well.
After my first
acupuncture treatment I was no longer suffering from depression. Since then, with each successive treatment, I have seen a huge increase in energy and decrease (if not complete resolution) of all muscle pain
and weakness. I still have some sore days, but I no longer walk and feel like a disabled person. I walk proud!
We are still working on the weight loss.
My body has not felt this good in a decade! I feel like myself again!

Sciatica, Fatigue & Obesity
A friend recommended me to Dr. Tad and
when I arrived, I had pain in my hip which traveled down to my leg and across my stomach. I just was not feeling well at all.
With just a couple of treatments, I could feel the difference in my
hip pain. I was able to walk without experiencing the deep burn in my hip and leg. I was able to walk without having to stop or sit down every few minutes. I feel that I am not limited with the things I want
to do & places I want to go.
Overall, my hip pain is gone, I have lost some weight and the redness in my legs is gone. I have an overall feeling of well-being. I wake up alert and have more
energy than I have had in years. I am calmer and overall feel the best I've felt in years.
Acupuncture is a mystery to me. I don't know how or why it works. I just know that it does. I plan to
continue with my scheduled treatments to get healthy – physically, mentally and emotionally. It seems to effect my total person positively.
It is obvious that Dr. Tad has a deep rooted love,
appreciation and knowledge of the ancient healing method. Discussing your treatment and concerns with him helps you to believe there is hope for a better life.
He and his entire staff are respectful, friendly and helpful. I look forward to my visits and actually feel that they are the best part of my week.

Ankylosing Spondylitis, Insomnia, Stomach/Digestive Issues, Chronic Sinus Infections, Fatigue & Infertility
Give acupuncture a try – it will change your life! I am 41 years old. Slightly doubtful
and unsure if they would help, I started treatments about a year ago now. I felt compelled to try an alternative to traditional western medicine and I am delighted I did. Acupuncture treatments at the CPM
surpassed my expectations and improved my quality of life more than I could have imagined.
When I began acupuncture treatments a year ago, I had reached the worst level of pain in my life. I was
diagnosed with Anklosing Spondylitis at the age of 22 and have battled the ups and downs of daily pain for 20 years. But for the previous 1 ½ - 2 years, I was essentially in daily agony and at my worst pain
level EVER! I could not go on with this kind of pain and was also not sleeping well as a result. The prescription drugs I was taking for my arthritis pain were not working anymore and I faced the option of
trying more serious TNF blockers/biological drugs than had even more dangerous side effects. With so many years ahead of me, I dreaded the idea of what the long term effects of these drugs could be on me. I
just knew that I needed to improve the quality of my life.
My first priority was to work on my arthritis pain. Dr. Tad's treatment plan and herbs reduced my pain by about 90%. Also, at times, I
experienced 100% improvement when I achieved pain free days on a regular basis. This was incredible. In addition, I stopped my prescription drugs entirely (and therefore eliminated the side effects from
those). Prior to the treatments, despite the agony I was in and the lack of sleep I was getting, I had not realized how sick I truly sick I was until I began to feel better as a result of acupuncture. I also
had not realized that my disease and the prescription drugs had taken such a severe toll on my body and health overall.
Putting my arthritis into remission was wonderful and enabled us to focus
on the other issues that I had. The treatments eliminated my chronic sinus infections and stomach/digestive problems. These also had plagued me and made me fatigued and irritable. What a relief to get those
issues under control.
Finally, my 2nd major priority – and I am happy to say success story – pertains to my irregular menstrual periods/ovulation and fertility problems. "Everything is connected
to everything" as the saying goes and because I was so sick overall, so was my reproductive system. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 1 ½ years. Most months I was not even ovulating. We
were given the option of western medicine fertility treatments (IVF, ect) because my hormone levels were off. Yet, after just finally freeing myself from drugs, I did not want to wreak that kind of havoc on
my body. I had seen what other women I know had gone through with IVF and the stress and negative impact these treatments caused them. It was fine if others pursued this option, but my personal choice was to
refrain from IVF and give acupuncture treatments a chance since the treatments worked wonders for my arthritis. Well, we achieved regularity with my menstrual cycle and ovulation and made my body stronger
and healthier overall through treatments and herbs. I am overjoyed to report that at the age of 41, I am pregnant as a result of these treatments. My husband and I are expecting our first child and we are
ecstatically happy!! I continue to receive treatments to help my pregnancy and we look forward to the birth of our child. I thank the CPM for my overall improved health and for giving me such hope for the
future – both for me and my family.
I am grateful to Dr. Tad for his assessment, wisdom and guidance; to Kasia and staff for their fantastic helpfulness and encouragement. I urge you to listen
to them and you will become healthier!
