Rittenhouse Acupuncture Philadelphia

I can’t recommend Christopher enough! He has such an amazing, fun personality and helps me feel so relaxed at the same time. I was recommended to him by a friend to help with shoulder pain but Christopher has helped me with so much more. He really is a one stop shop to help your body get on track and running smoothly. I count down the days til my next appointment the moment I leave his office!

I went to Christopher at Rittenhouse Acupuncture Philadelphia
after several months of upper back and neck pain that would persist even with regular stretching and massages. In our first session, he spent time getting to understand my history and explained the ways in which acupuncture could help alleviate some of the issues.

The sessions have been great! I can feel and see real improvements in the neck/back pain and other issues identified during our initial consultation. Christopher has a light touch needling technique, so no worries if you are scared of needles - no pain whatsoever.

I would 100% recommend Rittenhouse Acupuncture Philadelphia
for 1) anyone looking for an acupuncturist and 2) anyone looking for an alternative approach to most issues.

I would highly recommend Rittenhouse Acupuncture. I have been to 2 other acupuncture facilities and I have made the most improvement with my condition while being treated here. They are able to customize each treatment specific to the condition and are especially flexible with appointments. They are very friendly and create a relaxing atmosphere.

I came to see Chris because i was experiencing chronic sickness and extreme fatigue for the better half of a year. After inconclusive tests and a lack of solutions from my GP i turned to acupuncture after a family member suggested it. I went into it with some skepticism. A few sessions in and i started to notice a shift in the way i felt. Since i started acupuncture 2 months ago i haven't gotten sick once, when before i was getting head colds and feeling extremely fatigued every other week. I can't Thank Chris enough for the work hes done for me, his treatment has truly worked wonders. Highly recommend!

Acupuncture with Chris really helped me with my symptoms from a car accident. It has made a dramatic difference in my pain levels- I am really thankful for the difference- it has given me more of my pre-accident life back with less pain. Acupuncture has done more than several months of PT. The press needles and heating element that Chris offers I think also really help me. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially anyone who experiences pain.

I do not write reviews, but I wanted people to know my experience with Christopher at Rittenhouse Acupuncture. Over several years my health took a hit from injuries in an accident, loss of employment, and family losses. After physical therapy, medications, and several treatments, I turned to acupuncture as another attempt to feel better. I was extremely skeptical. After my first week with Christopher, I felt a million times better. I could not believe it! Christopher took the time to explain acupuncture and answer all my questions. His patience, knowledge, and ability to make me feel relax and secure was his utmost importance. I have been receiving treatments for 2 months and my energy, pain, IBS, migraines, anxiety, physical and emotional well-being has improved tremendously. I never feel the needles as they are painless, and I am overly sensitive. The relaxation I feel after each treatment feels like a good night's rest. I look forward to my next appointment. Thank you, Christopher, for all that you do! See you next week.

I cannot recommend Rittenhouse Acupuncture and Christopher enough! I am new to acupuncture and was a bit skeptical if it was something that would work for me. As someone who doesn't love shots, I was also hesitant about having tiny needles inserted all over my body. Christopher is friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful - his 2-hour intake session was one of the most thorough I have ever had for any treatment! He explains the origins of acupuncture and how it may work for each individual and is so gentle with his needles. You can tell Christopher really cares about his patients' well-being and takes the time to get to know each of us individually. He is very prompt in responding and makes himself very available. I really enjoy my treatments with Christopher and have seen a great improvement in my stress levels and overall well-being. He's also a delightful, funny person who I am glad to see every few weeks! If you are thinking about trying acupuncture, go see Christopher!

I came to Chris as an acupuncture newbie with lots of anxiety about needles - would this really work for me? At the time, I was about 2 months out from my wedding, as you can imagine I was super stressed. I was also in the process of coming off of my anxiety meds, which I had been on for 2 years. At my first appointment, Chris took the time to explain how acupuncture works and what it looks like when one responds well to treatment. He immediately told me it doesn't work for everyone (although it does for most) and was honest when evaluating how it worked for me. I appreciated that, made me trust him right away.

And it turned out that I am a great responder to acupuncture. It brought my stress and anxiety levels down tremendously, I was able to fully wean off of my anxiety meds within 3-4 weeks. I also felt amazing after every treatment - you leave Chris's office being more relaxed than as if you just had a massage. It is truly remarkable.

Adding to it all, Chris is an amazing person. I had a breakthrough COVID infection during our course of treatment and he texted me several times to see how I was doing. He is kind and very funny, visiting him every other week is a treat. I cannot recommend Chris and Rittenhouse Acupuncture enough, and thank you Chris for all that you do!

Rittenhouse acupuncture is top of the line acupuncture. I had went to a previous acupuncturist before I discovered this one and am amazed and how much more I am getting out of my sessions at Rittenhouse acupuncture. Christopher is extremely down to earth and truly cares about my health and my healing process. He listens to everything I have to say and addresses all of my medical issues during the session. I would highly recommend him to anyone who suffers from conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, joint pain and more. Thank you Christopher, I really appreciate all your help!

When I was struggling with my health, all I wanted I was a medical professional who really listened to me: who took the time to understand my issues, how I felt, and who really cared about me as a person. I found that in Chris.

I was in bad shape: Lyme Disease, adrenal issues, and the beginning of menopause (which came with anxiety and severe hot flashes).

I could feel within minutes that I was being cared for. And within 3 sessions with Chris, the tiny bit of change in many of my symptoms gave me hope. I was significantly better after a few months of weekly visits.

It’s 4 years later, and I now see Chris every 3-4 weeks. The continuing treatments provide a foundation for my health and Chris can address any changes at each visit. The acupuncture now serves to rebalance me and give me a feeling of peace and calm. It has made all the difference in my well-being. Acupuncture with Chris gave me back my life and I am forever grateful.

Christopher Hudson is a modern miracle worker! I came to Chris a few years ago in pain, anxious, stressed, and feeling like I was out of options after seeing many doctors and specialists for my knee pain. The initial meeting with Chris was so much more than just talking about my knee pain, he created an accupuncture regimen that included every ailment, issue, and every aspect of my body and being that transformed my life, my mood, and my outlook on my ability to do the things that I loved again. Chris is thorough in his assessment and takes the time to really get to know his clients, he even knows what music I like, and how to put my mind at ease before a treatment when things in life feel stressful and out of control. Chris is kind, caring, professional, and willing to listen and I leave every treatment feeling refreshed and renewed. I highly recommend Rittenhouse accupuncture if you want to feel better, target pain, or just improve your overall quality of life!

I have been treating with Christopher Hudson on an as needed basis for approximately 10 years. I highly recommend his acupuncture services. Christopher is a compassionate, very knowledgeable health advocate and highly skilled. I have consulted with him for a variety of conditions over the years and his treatments have always been beneficial.

I researched a lot before starting my journey into acupuncture. I am a big believer in holistic medicine and helping the body work with what it already has so I was so happy when I found Rittenhouse Acupuncture. Through my research a lot of places in the area look like drive through acupuncture. They have a ton of little rooms separated by partitions or the places just didn’t look inviting. I really took my time reading numerous reviews and really finding a place I was comfortable with. This is where Rittenhouse Acupuncture comes in! Chris and his place are wonderful. It’s in the same building as Rescue Spa. You are the only client there at one time so he really takes his time with you and explains everything! Every session is an hour so he can check in on progress and see what is happening within your body. The sessions are super relaxing and my stress has been extremely reduced. He does Japanese Acupuncture which is more gentle and strategic. With 30 years of experience and a professional who says acupuncture found him how do you go wrong. I love going and am probably becoming a little addicted to what Chris calls “acuphoria” the sense of peace you feel after the treatment. I would completely recommend.

I’ve been meaning to write this review since December, 2017 when I had my initial consultation with Christopher Hudson at Rittenhouse Acupuncture. I went to Chris for treatment of lower back pain. By the third session, I was beginning to feel relief with my pain, but I also observed that my anxiety had reduced. I even stopped biting my fingernails! Well, I have continued to see Chris at least twice a month, when possible because his treatments help me with pain management and anxiety. But on March 11,2020, I had to halt my appointments because of the Covid-19 Pandemic!
A few weeks ago I was talking on the phone with a friend. She ask me, “What do you miss most during our time sheltered at home? ” I thought for a few moments and said, “acupuncture! ” As the old adage goes,
‘We don’t appreciate what we have, until it is not there! ’ So, the next day I texted Chris telling him to contact me as soon as he reopens his office, and finally after 3 months, last week, I was back in his office for an acupuncture treatment and feeling relief again.
