What Clients Are Saying About  Joe Recsnik L.Ac.

“I’ve been receiving acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine treatments from Joe since 2022. He’s treated my bursitis, pinched nerves, stress, digestive problems, allergies and workout injuries – all with great success. I go to him first for all my health issues, and I drive 3 hours each way just to see him because I know I’ll get the care I need. Joe is patient, takes the time to understand what’s going on, and tailors his treatments to me. If you’re looking to try acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine for the first time, or if you’re a regular looking for an experienced practitioner to improve your health and well-being, Joe is your guy. Thanks Joe, for everything. ~A” – Aimee M. Bryan

“Joe has been my regular acupuncturist for going on two decades. I value his expertise so much I brought my boyfriend to him, and now my boyfriend insists on seeing Joe before anyone else. Joe has treated me for everything from structural work and injuries to digestive issues, bronchitis, even strengthening my immune system when I’ve run myself down. His knowledge of herbal remedies is unparalleled. He is an amazing listener and genuinely cares about the health and wellbeing of his clients. Add to that, he has a great sense of humor! If you want to incorporate Traditional Chinese medicine into your health regimen, then I highly recommend Joe Recsnik.” – Kerry Lorimer

Highly recommend!!!” – Vanessa Rivera

“To say that Dr. Joe saved my shoulder is not an exaggeration.

I started to see Dr. Joe after shoulder debridement.
It had been tough going, painful and hard to do any of the post-surgery PT.
Dr. Joe really listened. Every appointment, he took the time to check in and talk about what had changed, gotten better, gotten worse and adjusted treatment accordingly. That kind of attention to a patient is sadly rare these days and why I am, in less than 3 months post-surgery, back in the pool swimming Fly. Something I haven’t been able to do for almost a year. He really is the best and cares about his patients. His goal is not to keep you there forever, but to make you better. I could not recommend him more and will continue to see him for whatever comes up.” – nicole tucker

“Joe helped me recover from a botched surgery and stabilize my hormone and nervous system.

He is a dedicated master of Chinese Medicine. A true healer!” – Jody Trager Botansky

“Joe has been treating me for a little over 5 years.

Neck and spine pain from auto accidents, bronchitis, and most import hot flashes/ menopause symptoms. He really knows how to read the body and provide real help. His knowledge of Chinese herbs is amazing and provides me with custom blends to help with my symptoms. Can’t say enough about how much I appreciate him. And he is just a really good guy. Bonus.” – Bridget Evander

“I’ve been to so many different practitioners and am not so easy to please- for better or worse.

I can’t speak highly enough about Joe, his talent and devotion to his practice skills and clients. He is a deep practitioner and has helped me with muscle spasm, covid recovery and subtle energy rebalance due to stress and grief. I feel so luck to have him on my team for wellness support!!! He is a real gem.!” – Marilyn McLaughlin

“Dr Joe is fantastic!

He takes his time with you before he begins each session and has an amazing understanding of how to heal the body. I need to make an appointment now!” – Angela Tortu

“Joe is an amazing acupuncturist.

I’ve been to several and he has a very calming and assuring energy. I lost my smell and taste due to covid and one treatment and I would say it’s 40% back. I highly recommend making an appointment with joe, you won’t be disappointed!” – Meg Lin

“I would highly recommend Joe for acupuncture.

I’ve been seeing him for about 5 years for muscle/back pain and I always walk away feeling so much better. I recently started seeing him for seizures and he’s been very helpful. When I tell him what’s going on, he gives his professional opinion but I appreciate that he also listens to everything I tell him…it really feels like he’s on the journey with me rather than only giving me a diagnosis. He’s also great at answering questions…I (probably annoyingly!) ask details about everything he tells me and he is always patient and explains everything well. I am very grateful for all he’s done for me and would definitely recommend him.” – Violin 2022

“Acupuncture and herbal medicine has definitely changed my life.

When facing chronic disease with very little relief, a friend recommended Populuss. After starting my healing journey with Joe Recsnik, my chronic pain and inflammation has decreased dramatically. I have also been able to find relief with my headaches, improve my sleep, and control anxiety and stress. Herbal medicine has also helped improve digestion and gut issues. Feeling my body slowly heal instead of just taking medication to treat my symptoms is life changing and I am very thankful!” – Jaci Brunac
