David taught me to control my blood sugar and blood pressure naturally, and his treatment for my shoulder, back and knee pain was immediately effective.  Sheila has helped me to find peace!

My overall conditions have improved 1000%.  My smoking is reduced to 0, alcohol is reduced 90%.  Depression gone, anxiety, insomnia gone.  Energy, much improved.  Back was completely cured until I thought I was 20 years old again and overdid what a 60 yr. old should be doing.  I caused my own relapse.  I am back now because it worked so well before.  This is a great healing place run by great healing people…

David Rindge is my physician.  He is the person whose counsel I seek first if I have a medical concern, and he has earned the privilege.  David first treated me successfully for pain in both wrists which had been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome.  A respiratory infection and lingering cough were resolved in a single treatment.  Similarly, David was able to restore normal function and feeling to a dislocated thumb in one session. 

But in 2004 when I experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with gallstones and pancreatitis, David really proved himself.  His treatment with acupuncture, laser therapy and pulsed electromagnetic fields was immediately effective at alleviating all pain and discomfort.  With David’s advice and encouragement, I have gotten rid of 50 pounds, revolutionized my diet and adopted a truly healthy lifestyle.

My chief complaint was pain in both feet due to both severe plantar fasciitis and the results of a failed surgery.  Symptoms included ongoing soreness, circulation irregularities, burning, pulling & aching during and after weight bearing.

The methods I tried before include custom orthotics, stretching, massage, hot/cold baths, night splints, anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections, ESWT (extracorporeal shock wave treatment) hypnosis and surgery.  None of the above methods produced any significant ongoing relief since the onset of this condition almost six years ago.  

The positive results of my treatments at the Center for Cooperative Medicine have been and continue to be dramatic.  I am truly amazed (and joyful) over the significant reduction of all the above symptoms!  My pain level is minimal and my feet seem to be continuously getting stronger and more fully functional.   It has been four years since my surgery and there is simply no other explanation for this kind of improvement.  Laser acupuncture works!  Furthermore, I always look forward to my appointments because David, Sheila and Margaret provide such a caring and professional environment.  Thank you!

After going to a medical doctor and a massage therapist, I still could not hear out of my left ear. After my first visit with David Rindge, I was able to hear!!  Also, the TMJ pain that I had had for many years had disappeared!  I visit David whenever I have a health concern.  I always get clear answers to my questions.  Whenever I have pain, David’s treatment is quick and effective.

You cannot imagine how it feels to be pain free and fear free after having spent my entire life under bondage of both.  I just wanted to thank you and tell you I think you have one of the best and most wonderful programs anywhere. I have been in therapy off and one for years and nothing was able to help me before I came here.  Sometimes I lay in bed and just think about how I feel no pain in my body and about how I don’t have the underlying fear nagging atme all my waking hours. Keep up the good work.

David,
Coming to you after severely re-spraining my ankle was one of the best health investments I have ever made. The swelling was reduced by half after the first treatment and half again after the second treatment. I was walking without crutches by day four.

David,
As you well know, when I first called you from the hospital I was gravely ill.  Your dietary advice, therapy and encouragement have completely reversed a condition that my medical doctors had been unable to address.    I was healed-body, mind, and spirit!

It has now been over six weeks since my last treatment. I have not been using any anti-inflammatory medications for over the past two months, and my shoulder pain and elbow pain remain at a level '2' and my thumb is pain free..…

I will be returning to David for more treatments as I have a new foot ailment to treat. The good news is that based on my previous experiences, I anticipate rapid improvement .

David's enthusiasm for good health and pain-free living is a catalyst for change in the patients he treats.

My name is Jack Lehr, and I am a snowbird from Columbus, Ohio.  I retired after 35 years as a teacher and administrator in secondary education.  I injured my hamstring running up a flight of stairs.  Sixteen months of pain, two visitis to a Sports Med Orthopedic Surgeon, multiple visits to a physical therapist, and fifteen plus visits to chiropractor did not improve my situation.  I even had a full body bone scan.  Out of sheer frustration, I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I had never talked to anyone about acupuncture.  So, I started this new endeavor by reading books on TCM.  Next, I visited several TCM local offices and determined that I was most comfortable in the office of  David Rindge on Strawbridge Avenue in Melbourne.

I had a total of nine treatments.  After the second treatment, the five inch long and inch in diameter knot in my hamstring disappeared.  This was the same knot that the sports med physician x-rayed a year earlier to make sure it was not calcified. Following that treatment, I was able to walk at a decent pace for periods of thirty minutes or more without any pain during or following exercise.  It had been almost a full year since I was able to do that.

David also worked on both shoulders and my wrist with good results.  All three have improved in flexibility.  David was totally dedicated to getting me to feel better.

Treatment included both laser and needle acupuncture.  Both were pain free.  Over the course of nine visits, I had over a hundred needles (an estimate since most of the needles were put into my back and back of my leg) placed in various parts of my body and I only felt one.  It gave me a sensation as though someone was pulling a hair from the back of my neck.

Am I happy?  I am totally elated.  David, Sheila and Rhonda, thank you.

Sincerely,
Jack Lehr - Retired

3 times doctors overmedicated me with strong BP pills.  Twice I almost died + last time they gave me a cardiac arrest because nobody bothered to check my medical history which shows I cannot tolerate high dosage medicines + beta blockers are lethal (was given pills in hospital causing cardiac arrest.)  Each time I went to David + he cured me, first when I had chronic diarrhea + lost 30 lbs, second when I was I so weak I need nursing help (the herbals cured me) + third after the cardiac arrest + when I had gum infection + bad cough.  I am so afraid of doctors + dentists.  The only person I trust is David because he listens + takes care of all my symptoms with herbals + acupuncture which cannot hurt me.
