"Years of Constant Headaches Are Gone"

6/1/2020

After years of excruciating headaches (that would begin at 3-4pm every day due to heavy computer use) I started going to Gregory Carey, L.Ac. and literally after three sessions my constant headaches have dissipated! Taking Excedrin nearly every day had been the norm for me but Gregory Carey's acupuncture treatments have helped tremendously and I do not take aspirin or wear cooling masks as I had been doing regularly. He also helped with a painful sciatica that I was experiencing - that only took one session!

On top of his very effective treatments, Gregory Carey, L.Ac. is a down to earth, friendly and extremely knowledgeable practitioner. His staff are also very warm and friendly.

I highly recommend Old Bridge Acupuncture & Wellness, LLC!

Thanks For Giving Me Back My Leg, Elbow and Yoga!

22/11/2019

0 Comments

About 8 months ago, I went for a deep tissue massage for my Birthday!!! Happy Birthday to me, right???? Unfortunately, a few hours later I ended up at Urgent Care, unable to walk and experiencing horrific pain. I have had natural child birth people!!! I was given muscle relaxers, morphine and something else that I can't even remember. Nothing worked. Long story short, I was transported to the ER.

I was admitted, given a multitude of tests, Cat scan, MRI twice, etc. I ended up with a herniated disk and nerve damage running the length of my entire left leg.

Now being a mother of three and a newly certified yoga teacher, this was not going to work for me. I did everything I was told to do from a traditional medicine perspective, short of surgery. I was still unable to workout, practice yoga, drive car pools, carry laundry upstairs, food shop, or hang with my kids. This was not the quality of life I was accustomed to enjoying, not to mention the amount of pain medication I was discharged with. Enter Greg Carey, L.Ac.

After an initial consultation he had assessed my injuries and developed a treatment plan with me, utilizing Acupuncture and cupping. Due to the nerve damage, I had less than 50% feeling in my left shin. Also, my movement was restricted immensely as my left quadricep muscle had seized up and my hip flexor wasn't much better. With Greg's help, I am happy to report that the sensation in my shin has returned to almost 90%, I am able to practice yoga, workout and resume most of my daily routines. Along the way, Greg also began treating me for tendonitis in my left elbow.( Totally unrelated.) At my last visit, he asked me how my elbow was and I honestly hadn't realized it had stopped hurting and I had full range of motion.

Greg is a very talented healer. He is kind, compassionate and patient. When I was growing frustrated with my body's response he encouraged me to continue trusting the healing process. As he methodically assessed and evaluated my treatment, I never doubted his judgement. I am so very thankful that I trusted him and gave my body the time it needed to heal.

Thank you Greg Carey, L.Ac.

Best,

After Three Treatments the Migraines Subsided Completely!

19/6/2019

0 Comments

I have been coming here for about two months or so for acupuncture because of horrible migraines. I was getting two to three migraines per day and after about three treatments with Greg the migraines subsided completely! We are now moving onto other issues that I have been having while continuing to treat my migraines to ensure that they don't return. To say that I'm pleased with Greg and the treatment that I have been getting here is an understatement. The entire staff is amazing and I definitely did my homework before booking my first appointment. I highly recommend Greg!

"Thanks for Getting Me My Quality of Life Back."

"Thank you so much. I danced all night at a work Christmas party Friday. Worked all day the next day Saturday. Then I was able to take my dog for a long hike Sunday. For the first time in a long time I wasn't stopped by my knee pain from doing what I wanted. This past August 2018 I would not have been able to do any of that let alone all of it in one weekend. Thanks for getting me my quality of life back."

"The Best Thing Ever for My Training."

15/9/2018

0 Comments

Mr. Carey is amazing. As an wannabe olympic weightlifter/crossfitter, I work out a lot, and prior to finding Greg, I was always in some sort of pain and was just accepting it as normal. Getting acupuncture/cupping treatments has been absolutely the best thing ever for my training. I was skeptical of acupuncture after receiving treatment elsewhere and not feeling results, but Greg really changed my mind. Anytime I come to him with a problem area (traps, shoulders, back, hip flexor, you name it), he has been able to provide relief. Also, you can tell he is a genuinely good person who has his patients' best interests in mind. Not only are his treatments super effective, he does a fantastic job of explaining to you what he is treating and why. 100% would recommend him.
