Contemporary Acupuncture - Ricky J. Colmer, PhD, LAc

"Rick is an incredible doctor. Highly intelligent and compassionate, and explains why certain ailments have the effects they do. His acupuncture has helped me with my chronic back pain and sciatica from spinal injuries, through his knowledge of the human body in relation to the flow of energy throughout the body. He explained it as "opening blocked energy paths" to relieve the pain and reduce the overall inflammation. His experience with traditional Chinese medicine has also helped me with the anxiety and chronic depression I have been struggling with for the last 14 years, I'm finally seeing relief from it and feel more peaceful and energetic than I have since childhood."

"Dr. Rick has helped me with a number of issues from emotional stress to elimination of numbness after a biopsy...in the process of balancing energy and eliminating health issues, I have been able to lead a more positive life with more energy and better business and personal relationships. He is extremely gentle and his knowledge of Chinese medicine has been a wonderful adjunct to treatment."

"I was new to acupuncture and had an amazing first experience! For over 20 years I struggled with severe pain during menstruation and after being treated by Dr. Rick my pain levels have significantly decreased. He is very knowledgeable about other health-related subjects as well. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to transform their health and wellbeing!"

"Dr. Rick is the best acupuncturist in the mid-west. He has a PhD in Chinese Medicine and trained in China, and he uses homeopathic and other western medicine remedies. He has helped me with pain, stress, digestive problems and his treatments really work. I feel fabulous as a result of his treatments and have referred many friends to him."

"Cancer is insidious. It is a thief in the night that sneaks in and robs you of your health, security, energy and vitality. I don't know which was worse the cancer or the treatments. I made it through the treatments but I couldn't seem to get back to where I had been before the cancer. I followed all the advice my doctor recommend with no results. Then my doctor suggested alternative medicine. Since I have been going to Dr. Rick things have turned around for me. My energy is increased. My focus is improving. I no longer feel I am on an emotional roller coaster. Dr iRck through the use of acupuncture and Chinese medicine has been able to handle and treat the myriad of problems I have had since the cancer and treatments. Thank you Dr. Rick, for helping me get my life back."

"Dr Rick knows his stuff. First time user of Acupuncture and am now sold. I no longer take ANY medications (I was on 4!). He got me through a very tough time of life. I highly recommend Rick's services."

"Dr Colmer has helped me immensely. I've been working through some trauma as well as chronic illness. I've made strides with both thanks to his expertise. He's got a great bed side manner and is highly compassionate. Your health will turn around in Dr Colmer's care."
