“I Never Thought That I Would Feel Like I Did Again Before 6 Years Ago”
“My father died about 6 years ago, and ever since then I have experienced terrible upper back and neck pain from the muscles being so tight. The tension had been so strong that I would experience headaches on a weekly basis ever since everything tightened up on me.
To remedy this, I went through treatment by my chiropractor and even then I would experience only temporary relief lasting up to only about one day.
I was very reluctant to see Dr. Mandel to see if he could help me. I did not like the idea of getting shots from my doctor.
After the first visit with Dr. Mandel, my upper back and neck loosened up slightly, but the effects lasted through the week. After the 2nd and 3rd visits, the area that chronically plaqued me just kept getting looser and looser. Even my boyfriend who used to give me massages was amazed at what he was able to do after only a few treatments!
In the end, I went to see Dr. Mandel for about 12 visits, and have not been back to see him in about two and half months. Even now, my muscles remain loose and I suffer from headaches much less infrequently. I never thought that I would feel like I did again before 6 years ago, and thought that I would have to live like this for the rest of my life!
I am so glad that I did end up getting treated because of how much better I continue to feel!”
In 2018, on the 25th of October, I was in a car accident. I had injuries on my leg, my chest, my back, and my neck. My legs had bruises on them and they hurt a lot, however, eventually the pain went away. The pain in my chest also went away with time.
When I first went to physical therapy, they worked on my upper back mostly, which includes my shoulder and neck. They put the pads and the hot towels on my upper back and then would put a cream on. On a scale from 1 to 10, I had a pain of 4 in upper back in the beginning.
Justin Mandel (LAC) did special treatments on my upper back. In the beginning he would just put the needles on my shoulder for acupuncture, but my pain wasn’t going away, so Mr. Mandel decided to do some special treatment on my upper back. He did this for about 3 treatments and after these three treatments I did not have any more pain in my upper back. In the beginning these treatments, it hurt a lot when Mr. Mandel worked on my shoulder, but after a while the pain started to go away.
Now my upper back is pain free.
Sincerely,

Testimonial from a patient who drove into a forklift who asked twice if he will need upper back surgery:
I am giving a short testimony but very precise. I am patient of Justin Mandel, as of three months that he began working on the part of mid to my upper back, the pain at that moment from one to ten was a eight more or like so. In these moments the pain is at zero, I only feel a little pain when pressure is applied with force to the area. Justin has done a tremendous and very professional job, I recommend.
“In The Past 5 Years I Have Been Treated By A Minimum Of 6 Different Acupuncturists With No Success…Until Now.”
“I am a 49 year old woman who has had back problems for my entire adult life. Because I do office work, I am constantly on the phone while working on a keyboard. I have also had several severe car accidents and falls.
I have been going to a chiropractor since my early 20’s. Chiropractic adjustments have helped to make the pain somewhat bearable, but at times the flare-ups are so bad that I can’t even sit for more than a few minutes at a time. In the past 5 years I have been treated by a minimum of 6 different acupuncturists with no success…until now.
After losing 3 jobs in 4 years due to excessive absenteeism relating to back, shoulder, and neck pain, I found myself relocated to a job in Rye Brook, NY. I was desperate to find yet another acupuncturist who had a convenient location and office hours that would suit my schedule. I searched the internet and found that there was an acupuncturist right across the street from my office. What more could I ask for and what did I have to lose after trying so many with no success?
During my initial consultation Justin told me that I could expect to experience almost 100% pain relief within 5 visits. I was skeptical to say the least, but thought to myself, “I’d be happy with 5% improvement at this point”. Besides, no other doctor or alternative health provider has ever given me any prognosis as to how long it would take to get the pain relief I needed to live my life in a normal manner.
Justin began treating me with a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and the TrapEAZE Technique in August 2007. After the first visit my pain was about 80% better. Six visits later, I found myself 95% pain free. True, it took one extra visit than he had anticipated, but that was only because the pain radiated across the left side of my back and into my shoulder so it was difficult to pinpoint the origin of the pain and I couldn’t reach far enough behind me to point to the area. After all, health care providers are not miracle workers. They can only work with what they have. So I’ve always been a firm believer that the patient needs top be specific as possible by whatever means possible.
Then, while skimming through a magazine, I came across an ad that had a picture of a woman’s back. It occurred to me that the best way to show Justin where my pain was the worst to point to it in a picture. I tore the page out of the magazine, put an “X” on the spot in the ad and showed it to Justin. Once that areas was treated the pain was almost completely gone.
Because of the type of work I do it is unrealistic to think that I will ever be 100% pain free, but in the skillful hands of Justin Mandel, DOM AP LAC I’m hopeful. I haven’t felt that way regarding my health in 30 years.”
