Carlos is an incredibly knowledgeable and professional acupuncturist. He has he helped me with various ailments ranging from emotional instability to physical pain over the course of the last four years. His kind and compassionate demeanor is exactly what you're looking for when it comes to a healthcare provider. I highly recommend him and all of his massage therapists at OCAC.![EleLotus Yoga Amy B]()
EleLotus Yoga Amy B01:02 12 Aug 18For years I suffered from migraines and as a result I was taking two medications. I was beginning to have serious side effects from the medication so I decided to try acupuncture with Carlos. I am happy to say that I am now completely off all medication and I don’t have migraines anymore! It is amazing what acupuncture can do and Carlos is a master. I have referred many family members to Carlos (including some who were afraid of needles) and they all had positive results. My husband’s back injury was cured quickly while my daughter finds acupuncture and cupping helpful in relieving stress. I have a relative with lupus who could not sleep due to pain in her legs and she found great relief after seeing Carlos. I have also known women with fertility issues who were able to conceive after treatment with Carlos. I believe that any problem, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or psychological can be helped by acupuncture and Carlos’ friendly manner and gentle approach puts his patients at ease.![Teresa]()
Teresa22:36 18 Feb 18In my experience, Carlos is the most experienced and skillful acupuncturist in Chicago's western & northern suburbs. Highly recommended. Very kind. Very reasonable rates. Carlos made a big difference in my successful recovery from surgery as well as calming stress.![P Rush]()
P Rush14:33 18 Dec 17I had been experiencing digestion issues for over 6 months. I tried traditional medicine and multiple remedies before finding Carlos. I couldn't be more grateful I did. After regular weekly visits (which include acupuncture and cupping), I am off all medications recommended by doctors and back to having a full functioning digestive system in and of itself. Carlos is incredibly knowledgable and makes every experience an enjoyable one. Would highly recommend him to anyone.![Meryl Cripe]()
Meryl Cripe23:42 31 Jul 17Carlos was able to alleviate my back and shoulder pain in just a couple sessions. My experience is always relaxing and I would recommend to anyone looking to avoid pain medication and other traditional treatments which tend to provide only symptomatic relief but require constant use.![Kristin Kinnaman]()
Kristin Kinnaman21:36 14 Aug 17Carlos is great! He helped me with a shoulder issue before a big event, without his help I would have struggled through the event.![Nicole Pawola]()
Nicole Pawola00:13 22 Nov 18A friend of mine recommended Carlos for a shoulder issue that I was dealing with. I was so grateful because after 2 sessions he had me back to 100% range of movement. I highly recommend Carlos. He's very knowledgeable and compassionate.Patti Salwach01:23 15 Mar 19Carlos is incredible! I struggled to get pregnant for over a year, and was referred to acupuncture. My chiropractor shouted Carlos’ name without hesitation! Carlos has such knowledge and precision in his practice. He has helped calm my anxiety, migraines, body aches, and with a few months of treatment, I was able to get pregnant. I had a small surgery in between, but acupuncture helped ease the pain and was able to get me up and running in no time. It has also helped me to relax in my pregnancy. I look forward to my sessions for the calm, inward focus of myself. Carlos has taught me a LOT. Thank you for all you have done thus far!Carmella Mahaz02:35 01 Aug 19I highly highly recommend Carlos. Before I started Accupuncture, I had horrible back pain, migraines, anxiety, depression, mood changes. After 10 meetings, I feel so great, so relaxed and "me" again. In the last 3 years, I did Phisical Therapy, I was taking medicines for migraines, but non of them helped me that much and in a shorter period of time how Accupuncture did. Carlos has "golden" hands and is very knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with Carlos, you won't regret it!![mirela craciun]()
mirela craciun19:16 04 Oct 19I have been experiencing overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks for years. I've tried traditional medicine and read all the books and websites to learn how to manage my anxiety, I've tried it all with minimal results. I finally decided to try acupuncture. I can't tell you what a difference it has made. I have my quality of life back, and within 3 visits. Carlos is caring and dedicated and wants to help you feel better and be you best self. The office is a relaxing and warm environment. Best decision I have ever made. I highly recommend you visit Carlos and get your health back.![Paula Kintzel]()
Paula Kintzel02:19 19 Dec 16I had been dealing with groan strain for years, I could not believe how effective Carlos's treatment was. Highly recommend his practice.Thomas Tukiendorf17:48 26 Apr 21I have chronic neck pain, that drs wanted to burn my nerves in my neck to help with pain management. Carlos has helped me with the pain without the surgical treatments.Cami Mears19:15 05 Mar 21Carlos is amazing at what he does. He is very dedicated to his work and extremely knowledgeable of acupuncture. He helped me get rid of my pain and I highly recommend Carlos to anyone suffering.J M18:27 17 Sep 20Carlos Carpintero, L.Ac. Is a very good acupuncturist. He is very professional and has a good personality to put you to ease. I would whole heartedly recommend Carlos.Scott Trebes21:47 01 Jun 21I've been coming for few months now and can say all the good things about the place and Carlos. He's helped me with my back pain, bad migrainces, low energy levels, high stress level and boost my immune system. I continue going to keep myself healthy. I since then sent there my husband with his back pain and my Mom for her back problems, hands numbness and high blood pressure. Highly recommended!Aneta Cybruch21:27 14 Jan 22I have been experiencing join pain and chronic fatigue for 6 years. I have seen multiple doctors and have have been diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia. I have tried medicine with minimal improvement. My friends kept asking if I had ever tried acupuncture. 2 months ago, I have decided to make an appointment at One Community Acupuncture Center. At that time, I was experiencing constant fatigue for 3 weeks struggling to make it to the end of each day, taking care of my kids and having full time job. It was very easy to make an appointment with Carlos since he was willing to work with my schedule. The office setting is very calm and relaxing. Carlos provided compassionate care from the very beginning demonstrating effective listening skills, in depth knowledge about various treatments and accurate assessment of physical and emotional state of his patient. Just after the first acupuncture treatment my fatigue was gone! After every visit I feel relaxed, and when I wake up the next morning I keep thinking about how much energy I have all day, even when I work 12 hour shift! Carlos also provided treatment with cupping and that was incredibly helpful as well. My energy level increased so significantly that I am able to exercise on regular basis now. I am also able to manage my stress level much better. I am extremely happy and thankful for all the positive changes I have been experiencing since my first visit with Carlos. I feel 90% better now then before my first visit. Carlos’ compassionate and insightful manner was not only able to improve my physical but also my psychological well-being, which I believe has significant impact on our overall health. I highly recommend One Community Acupuncture Center.Magdalena Socki10:49 16 Sep 21I came here by recommendation from my chiropractor suffering with very painful hip bursitis pain. Within 2 treatments I felt significant relief. The bonus treatment I received was relaxation, the acupuncturist Carlos found relaxation points to relax me as well. Outstanding treatment. Carlos listens, cares, and treats pain until it disappears!! I highly recommend One Community Acupuncture.Myra Onesimus12:00 20 Oct 21Carlos has been treating my husband for the past 2 month. He’s been able to help him regain his strength and relieve pressure in his head that no neurologist has been to help him since there is no medical diagnosis. I highly recommend visiting Carlos.Alejandra Gonzalez01:44 01 Sep 21I started going to Carlos a little over a month ago after I tried many different types of therapies to try and relieve my upper back pain, but nothing was helping. Carlos took the time to understood my pain and the issues that I was feeling. After the first two sessions, I felt great! I have never had acupuncture or cupping before, so I was unsure what to expect. However, he takes the time to explain the process and makes you feel right at ease. I also feel so relaxed afterwards, which is another reason I like going. For anyone looking to get some pain relief after trying many different therapies, I would highly recommend trying acupuncture and going with Carlos.Ian Petersen20:35 14 May 22I had been struggling with bone on bone arthritis in my shoulder for almost 2 years. After a car accident the end of October, I began seeing Dr. Carpintero twice a week. After six weeks, my pain has significantly lessened and my range of motion is greatly improved. At the same time I am receiving acupuncture for the plantar fasciitis I have in both feet. That condition has also greatly improved. Surprisingly, one of the most profound shifts I have experienced is been in the amount of stamina and energy I have regained after adding acupuncture to my wellness practice. For anyone looking to enhance their health and well-being, I definitely recommend One Community Acupuncture Center.Pam Schilling21:06 14 Dec 22Great place he helps with all kinds of pain I've been having headaches for years I had an MRI from my doctor then went to the neurologist but nothing worked till I seen Carlos now I have no headaches it even helped me with anxiety try this place its covered by most insurance 5 stars I would give him 10 stars if I couldRon Rose21:37 01 Dec 22I was having immense pain in my shoulder and having carpal tunnel issues for about a year now. I was at the end of my rope dealing with this chronic pain. I did some research and decided to try acupuncture. After about five sessions or so, the pain is almost non-existent. My anxiety has definitely decreased as well. Highly recommend! Thank you Carlos!Val C02:18 01 Jul 23I am really thankful to find this place. I had really bad pain in my elbow. So I went to this place. Carlos did my treatment. And it seems like a magic in his hands. His treatments were very effective and my pain was gone in 3 treatments. He is very patinated about his work that I can see it and feel it in his way of doing treatment. I am very glad I found this place. I highly reccomand it.S Patel19:29 11 Jul 23I would love to give Carlos a five-star review. He's been absolutely amazing. He helped me with my back pain during pregnancy, and after just five appointments, my pain completely disappeared. Acupuncture was a tremendous help and also significantly reduced my stress levels.Kinga Szkotak22:10 13 Feb 24Carlos is an excellent Acupuncturist. I am seeing a great improvement with my back and inner ear issues. Carlos was recommended to me by an Orthopedic Specialist. I am glad I got this referral. I am able to finally walk with no pain, and my equilibrium is stabilized. My body is adjusting very well to Acupuncture.Judy Tarchinski01:12 11 Apr 24Carlos has amazing knowledge and has helped me so much! My knee is so much better. I can now go for walks and exercise to loose weight and better health. His office is relaxing and very comfortable. With his treatment I am able to delay knee surgery which is amazing! I highly reccomend!Dianna Dianovsky17:29 27 Apr 24Nine years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Migraines due to my hormones changing from my miscarriage, and I wanted to try acupuncture to relief some of my migraines and pains that came with it. I didn’t want to always take my strong sumatriptan pill for my migraines or other medicines since it’s not good for your body. What I found effective about my acupuncture treatment was that after my 1st and 2nd treatment I started to feel better and I used a lot less sumatriptan pills and other migraines medicines, also I don’t wake up with eye pressure, forehead pressure and a sore neck anymore. So the IV that has vitamins for migraines and doing acupuncture helped me to feel better and be able to go outside and be in the sun and heat without getting migraines or have a slight migraine that was bare-able just taking one of my regular migraine medicine. Yes I would recommend Doctor Carlos Carpintero and his expertise in acupuncture treatment because he also suffers from migraines so he knows how it feels like and how to treat migraines. I have had way less migraines attacks and taking less medicine and able to go outside and do things, and before I used to be super sick and staying in bed resting or sleeping. This acupuncture treatments have helped out a ton and starting to feel normal again, and not feeling sick everyday. Also he is very informative to the questions that you have and answers them, he always asks you how you feel and how your doing, great at keeping track on how many treatments you need and schedules them right away at your convenience, he’s very nice and so is his assistant. Also, I love how his clinic is close by and I didn’t have to go to Chicago to get my acupuncture done, and good pricing for the acupuncture as well if your insurance doesn’t cover it. Sincerely, Catideli Peña.catideli pena19:32 19 Jun 24Carlos is a very kind and knowledgeable practitioner. I started seeing him for migraines and trouble sleeping, but each visit is customized to how you're feeling and what you want to work on. If you're curious in acupuncture at all, I would definitely recommend giving his treatments a try!Brittany Marocchi14:44 02 Feb 24I would love to give Carlos 5 -star review. He is an excellent accupuncturist. I have been dealing with anxiety, have sleeping problems and he has been a tremendous help. Each visit was customized to my symptoms and it was very peaceful and relaxing. I saw a big improvement with sleep and stress level. I highly recommend Carlos for anyone struggling with stress and anxiety.edyta edi23:55 04 Oct 24Follow Us!
