5 years agao I was diagnosed with spinal sthenosis and spondylolisthesis for which i had a lamninectomy and rods with pins between L4 and L5. 6 hours after I awoke, I became paralized from my waste down due to cauda equina syndrome. After another surgery to remove blood clot at the base of spine i ended up with extensive nerve damage in my left leg. Under the care of my nerve pain doctor we extinguished all choices of medciations. The end result: with medication there has been constant pain between 7-9 in my hip knee and foot.

Now: four years later I went in for my first session of acupuncture with pain at a level of 8 and came out with a pain of <1. 

This is the first time in over 3 years that I can touch my toes without pain. I did not think was possible because my nerve pain doctor indicated it may take up to 8 years before I may start to get some relief. I am in construction and could not afford to take disability. 

Many thanks to Justin, now for the first time in over 4 years I have a real smile on my face. I cannot describe how joyful I am. Thanks again for a new life. 

I have been meaning to write this for 3 months….just don’t know where to start in singing the praises of Justin!  This will seem wordy but I just have to explain what I have been going through.

I am a 62yo retired RN who has had multiple orthopedic surgeries since 1996.   I have problems with balance, pain, nerve pain down my R arm, lots of tension with  neck and back pain.  I also have long rods in my back making my ability to move easily more difficult.  I just finished 8 weeks of Physical Therapy which somehow aggravated my problems. I  have had years of chiropractic, different acupuncturists, pool therapy, physical therapy, pain clinics, meditation, Tai Chi, yoga and I could go on and on with what I tried.

I was just giving up on anyone being able to help me which made me feel very depressed.  This is not the person I was!!!  I had a lot of discomfort and pain, no energy and many sleep issues.  I LOVE to be active and  now have time to volunteer my services again BUT all of my problems were getting worse.  My passion was being an ER Nurse for 30 years and I had to admit that physically, I couldn’t do my job anymore which really saddened me to admit.

Here’s the point.  I swear an angel referred me to Justin. I really struggled to have faith again but I decided to give him a try.   EVERYONE should see Justin for ANY issues, physical or mental.  At my first visit he took at least 1-11/2 hours just asking questions.  As a little time went by he must have sensed what some of my issues were because almost every ? he asked me was a yes.  He even asked about symptoms that I had forgotten about.

After that I realized that  he had given me so much more time than any practitioner I have seen in the last 20 years  just to understand what was going on with me PLUS given me the BEST acupuncture session ever!  He found every trigger point plus others that he sensed needed treating and for the first time in my life, I left an appointment feeling like I was given a new life!  Never had I felt that way after any acupuncture session.  Honestly, I never felt one bit different with other practitioners and most of them I paid triple of Justin’s charges. I don’t want to sound goofy but I really felt elated, just like I was a kid again.  Honestly, for once I had faith in someone being able to help me.  I just wanted to cry as I was so happy and excited to see him again.

Three months have passed and all of the muscle tightness is gone, the nerve pain in my arm occurs very rarely and most of all, I am loose, happy and able to move so much better.  I have faith again.  Justin truly is a Mystic.!!  He is so gifted as he can just “sense” the parts of my body (and mind!) that need help.  I really want to shout it to the world that “there IS help” for chronic pain etc in the hands of Justin.  I only wish that we practiced more Chinese and Eastern Medicine in the U.S., and that is coming from a 30 year veteran who was taught only Western Medicine.

I can only hope that the word gets out about this man.  Our society today as a whole is stressed in many ways and are being treated with pills or putting up with headaches, tight muscles, sleep problems etc. when they could feel so much better if they could only see Justin Burkett LAc.

Lastly and maybe more importantly, Justin is the kindest man with the most soothing voice who is so much more than an acupuncturist and Dr. of Chinese Medicine.  He truly listens, he cares,  spends at least an hour with you and teaches you anything you’d like to know about your body.  My only fear is that he will move out of state or no longer be available.

Give yourself a gift and go see him just once so you have the chance to feel physically better and probably happy and vital again. (Just don’t take my appointment times 🙂

I Thank God for you Justin.  You have changed my life so much that I finally feel alive again, feel happy again and no longer have depressing moods.  A Mystic and an Angel

PS.  Now my kids and son-in-law are seeing him and are experiencing amazing results!   I hope that everyone having any discomfort or disease find him..
