"As a professional athlete that's logged a few miles on my tires, George provided fantastic treatment to a nagging ankle injury. Combining acupuncture and traditional rehab techniques enhanced my recovery and helped me increase my range of motion while decreasing discomfort and pain during competion. Thanks again George, I'll no doubt be back soon!"

Boston Blazers, Boston Cannon, Jack Reid #18

"I was impressed with George's knowledge of acupuncture techniques and of the many acupuncture methods that are beneficial for athletes. He let me know what he was going to do and the reason for doing it. I never thought of acupuncture as an effective recovery method for athletes but I have to say he made a positive impact. I will be back next season."

Boston Blazers, Boston Cannons, Mike Stone #41

"I came to George with two pulled hamstrings. Looking for anything to help get me back on the floor, and having tried acupuncture before I was happy to connect with George. From the moment I walked into the door his first concern was getting me back to a playable condition, and despite my desire to get back immediately he advised me to take it slow, and that was a great comfort knowing he wanted me to return at full strength. After a few sessions of acupuncture and Kinesio tape I was feeling great and able to return to playing full time with follow-up visits I was able to continue playing without any interruption. I would 100% recommend George to any athlete suffering from any injury to help in the healing process and get back to playing quicker."

Boston Rockhoppers 2013 NALL Champions, Ryan Hoffmeister #16

"George's treatment brings together the best of eastern and western medicine. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, and always willing to help educate as well as treat his patients."
