I have suffered with asthma and allergies nearly my entire life. A few years ago I started going to acupuncture, and saw results, but the acupuncturist moved away. Over time, the symptoms were back in full force and I was using my rescue inhalers and allergy medication more than recommended. I knew I needed help again, and found Ed. We corresponded through email initially, and I could already sense his compassion. During my first appointment, I immediately felt that I was in the right place. Ed has a gentle approach that could put anyone at ease. After my very first session, the results were clear. I was no longer suffering from frequent asthma attacks, specifically night time attacks, which often caused severe anxiety. After the second session I was pleased to find that some of my food allergies no longer were causing problems. I have gone from using my inhaler 6 or 7 times a day to only once or twice a week. I credit Ed and his expertise for this.
Acupuncture has clearly given me my life back!

A friend of mine was telling me how much Ed helped a member of her family alleviate anxiety with acupuncture treatments. At the time, I was experiencing considerable anxiety as a result of extreme, prolonged, and sustained stress. I had two acupuncture treatments with Ed. The first relieved the anxiety to a degree. The second treatment, one week later, was remarkable. By the time I left his office, my mood had lifted, anxiety was dissolved completely, and my energy returned. I am tempted to say this was a miraculous healing but it is truly the result of Ed Hubbell’s expertise. I highly recommend him

My daughter Catey started seeing Ed in July 2011 for ADHD(she turned 9 in September 2011). She is combined type which means she is hyperactive, inattentive and impulsive. We have had concerns about her having ADHD since age three, but couldn’t get a formal diagnosis until she was older. The summer before grade 1 she was finally diagnosed and spent all of her first grade year on various meds before we found one that worked for her (didn’t cause insomnia and lasted long enough to get her through the school day). She started on the Daytrana Patch (and an anti-depressant)and although her appetite was suppressed and she was withdrawn from her peers he was able to focus and function in school overall (We had tried natural methods like diet changes-although we don’t allow junk food on a regular basis and try to avoid food dyes when possible, and she has been seeing a chiropractor for natural health since birth.)
This past summer, at the end of third grade we started noticing concerning behaviors like increased aggression and sudden irrational fears. For some reason, after dealing with these behaviors for about a month I went on-line to review side effects of the patch and found one where children, teens and parents had written about their experiences of being on or having children on the patch. I became enlightened when I read about experience after experience of increased aggression and sudden onset of irrational fears (for example, my daughter would no longer go outside because she had seen a bee. Not just at that moment, but refused to go outside for longer than it took to get from the house to the car for a month). I spoke with her pediatrician, therapist and psychiatrist who all OK’d her going off the meds for the summer and trying acupuncture. At first we gave her a patch for a few hours a day, then every few days, and then none at all (with this med there is no need to wean off of it, but until the acupuncture took effect it was better for all of us!). She saw all 3 of her doctors several times during this period to review and examine how things were going. Her therapist was astounded and asked for Ed’s card to pass the info on! Her psychiatrist, who isn’t so much a believer in acupuncture and energy fields, etc. was also pleased with her progress! And her pediatrician, who is very open to Holistic medicine was ecstatic! By the third week she was completely off all meds. Her psychiatrist, again, being skeptical yet open at the same time, wanted to see her as soon as school started to see how she fared in a classroom setting. Her 4th grade teacher has written up 2 reports stating that she is doing very well-just needs to work on shouting out in class sometimes, but is interacting with her peers (she was always a loner at recess, and preferred to work alone in class), participating in discussions and focused! Catey sees Dr. Ed, as she call him, once every week. We couldn’t be more pleased to see our daughter back to how she should be-happy, friendly, outgoing, goofy-things we didn’t realize we lost when she was medicated. And she eats now! She looks much healthier and gained a healthy amount of weight at her 9 year check up. My friend, who sees Catey several times a week also commented on the positive difference she sees in her behavior. My mother and I were talking last week about Catey and her acupuncture and my mom was astonished to learn that Catey had been off her meds almost all summer and continues to be-she didn’t realize she wasn’t taking anything to help her control her ADHD! All this time she thought she was still being medicated-a true testament to the validity of acupuncture!
As a side note, I will add that my daughter never had a fear of the needles, but Ed made her feel very comfortable and worked with her to ensure she felt comfortable with what he was doing. My 6 year old son has gone to my daughter’s appointments a couple of times and Ed has put a needle in him to show him what it’s like and now he wants to do acupuncture too! Ed has changed our lives, made them drug-free for our daughter and less stressful and angry and frustrating for the entire family, for ADHD not only affects the person who is diagnosed with it, but the entire family as well.

Ed was recommended to me a few years ago by a trusted professional. I was having constant
back shoulder pain and it was thought he may be able to help. I was NOT a believer in
Accupucture, but thought I’d give it a try.
Ed impressed me for the moment I meet with him. He was informative, kind and
understanding. Ed not only helped with my back pain, but helped me understand that the cause
of my pain was much more than an aching shoulder. He opened a world of alternative ideas to
me and to realize that it’s ok to slow down.
I also attended one of Ed’s seminars and it was life changing. It expanded my mind and forced
me to deal with issues that were smoldering under the surface. Ed has opened up many new
ideas and alternatives to life for me and I will miss him as not only an acupuncturist, but also as
a trusted mentor and friend.
I would not hesitate and have in fact recommended Ed to many friends and associates. I would
urge you to open your mind and explore all the talent and knowledge Ed has to give.
I will miss you, my friend. You will never be forgotten for the changes you have help create in
my life.

Getting acupuncture for Ed is like meditation, holistic healing and therapy all in one! Ed really takes the time to understand what the underlying internal and external ‘pains’ are. I have meditated for years and been on meditation retreats. However, taking Chi Gong from Ed has opened my internal energy to another level
altogether! My new found peace and sense of presence helps me in stressful situations. Although I have not participated in any of Ed’s corporate team building exercises, I can definitely see how his calm approach and guiding style could make any dysfunctional (and they all are to a degree) corporate team more functional and productive.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for using your acupuncture techniques to helping me get back on track. One day after I slipped a disk in my lower back, I entered your office in great pain and barely able to move without the assistance of a cane. One hour in your hands, and I could put the cane aside and walked down the stairs without assistance and without pain. I was back in the workforce within 24 hours of my visit with you.
I came into your office at the urging of my daughter, feeling very skeptical about acupuncture. I am now a huge supporter of acupuncture. My husband says he can’t quite believe the results from the acupuncture treatment, but he saw them with his own eyes. As a small business owner, I am perpetually traveling, and cannot afford to have downtime. I am both amazed and so thankful for your expertise.

Ed Hubbell’s healing abilities have provided me relief from insomnia, stiffness of joints, chronic sinus congestion, and other symptoms related to menopause and stress. His treatments and herbal formulas have brought me peace of mind and increased energy

Ed Hubbell has been my acupuncturist for a number of years and I am at a loss to see him leave this area. Ed is a well trained professional; he has a master’s degree in oriental medicine and is an excellent acupuncturist who also uses cupping – a method I am a big fan of. His sessions have helped me significantly with my tension headaches, vertigo-like recurrent sensations, interrupted sleep patterns, high anxiety and decreased focus. Ed is generous with his time and skills. He is also a professional with high integrity who is honest and forthright. He would always discuss with me the areas where he can help while emphasize the areas where I need to make changes and help myself. Many times I felt that Ed was my life coach as well, not just my acupuncturist. He treats his patients with a lot of empathy and loving kindness. I always leave his acupuncture sessions with a newly found sense of perspective and clarity. I wish I could see him every day!

I am a 67 yo female cancer survivor who as part of her treatment had her right arm amputated last year(2016). I immediately developed a condition common to such treatments called Phantom limb Pain wherein intense pain is felt as if the arm was still there. It is a very common and incredibly debilitating condition. The pain would slowly build during the day and reach a level of 8 or 9 (on a scale of 10 being the worst possible imaginable) around bedtime. I was unable to sleep without the aid of prescription sleep inducers, which at best gave limited relief. After 4 months of this nightmare situation I sought the help of Ed Hubbell, Lac. I had a positive experience with Ed 2 years prior dealing with pain and swelling from Cancer radiation treatments.
Ed was skilled with Neuroacupuncture techniques and within 2 sessions brought the level of worse daily pain sensations down to 1-3 which was a huge relief for me! I was able to sleep soundly without the need of sleep and pain medications and has been a significant improvement to my quality of life. I highly recommend Ed Hubbell and his ability to help others with Neurological issues with no side effects!

I was incontinent, wearing diapers at night. My seizures, that started being medicated (two and a half years ago) were coming daily and multiple times a day. Mentally, I wasn’t functioning well. I was trying now my fourth prescription, none of them helped much. Night sweats were occurring often. High blood pressure. My liver was declared cirrhosis and from that my spleen enlarged. That was a year ago and my neurologist was sending me to Albany Med for a week to observe the seizures and determine where they were coming from so they could possibly perform brain surgery. My first meeting with Ed was six weeks prior to the hospital stay. Resigned to my condition and prognosis (mentally diminishing and liver transplant in 5-10 years), I went to Ed for a frivolity, my sense of smell that I had lost a few years before. Ed began treating me. There were three sessions with Ed before the hospital stay. Entering the hospital I had to stop my prescribed medications. They hooked me up. I spent a week but had no seizures. That was a year ago and I’ve taken no more seizure medication. It’s been a year now under Ed’s care. My mental processing keeps improving. My confidence, cheerful demeanors, sense of humor, are
back! I feel really good, strong, peaceful. I feel younger. The high blood pressure, gone. I don’t feel the effects of my poor liver. My stress management has never been better (3 jobs, 60 hour weeks). I’m happy. It wasn’t just the acupuncture. It was Ed’s acupuncture, and care, and teachings and being. It was Ed. He saved my life, and helped me change my life. Thank you Ed.

For years I’ve been struggling with back pain, to the point that it affected my daily tasks. I did many things to ease the pain: taking pain killers, going to physical therapy, going to chiropractic 3x a week, but that pain always seem to be lingering in the back.
At one time, I heard someone tell me about acupuncture and how it does wonders, but being that I tried so many things that claimed to help and didn’t see much of result, I was skeptical to try it.
A year ago I discovered Ed and decided to give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. I am almost pain free.
There are days that I don’t feel my back at all, and it feels amazing because I never felt like this in my life. I have more energy, I can concentrate and think better, I am more alive and happy and enjoy my days better, which helps my family too because now they enjoy being around me.
For years I felt miserable and people didn’t like being around me because It seems that I was just complaining but in fact I was in so much pain that was overtaking my life.
I am so grateful for Ed and what he does. No one in the area does this technique like he does, combining acupuncture with cupping, it just does wonders to you and your vitality.
Since I started going to Ed, I have brought my mom and sister on board. My mom was suffering from swollen legs for over 10 years, her legs were getting so swollen that she wasn’t able to walk sometimes.
With just one treatment with Ed, she saw tremendous difference and now she feels great, and she can do her daily activities without feeling in pain.
If you are looking for acupuncturist and not sure who to choose, choose Ed, you’re not going to be disappointed, Ed is so passionate about his work, he truly cares about your well being and he’ll do anything to make you feel better.
Give him a try I know you’re not going to be disappointed.

After massage and chiropractic treatments failed to completely relieve back pain, I tried acupuncture with Ed Hubbell in 2012. Since then my mother, father, and multiple other family members have become clients; all had outstanding outcomes. Mom and I started to go together. She’d get a treatment on her knee pain and swelling, and I like to focus on my back and legs. My mother, Janis, is in the moderate/severe stage of frontal temporal lobe dementia. She requires 24 hour care, and assistance with most daily tasks. Her symptoms include: aphasia, incontinence, decreased cognitive functioning and decreased motor skills. She has seen a Neurologist since 2013 and was prescribed Namenda. Unfortunately, with any progressive degenerative disease, those caring for her have seen a continued decline over time. Mom was more quiet and withdrawn than usual, so I mentioned this to Ed at one of our visits. Since that day, Ed has become an integral part of Janis Beck’s medical team.
Janis has experienced significant improvement in multiple areas through regular neuro-acupuncture treatments with Ed. Her improvement was not overnight, but gradually she started to make some progress. She has received weekly neuro-acupuncture treatments since July, 2017. Her mobility and stability has improved. She pivots again, which makes turning to sit down on things much easier. She actively participates in standing up and is more stable once up and walking. She is more stable in the shower and will actually hold on to the safety rail. She brushes her teeth again, with assistance of course, but this was something we were really struggling with. The other day she hung up her own towel. Janis is more engaged in what is going on around her and willingly participates is activities. She is more affectionate and considerate. Her speech has definitely improved; this was commented on by a family member, who is a speech pathologist. She thanked me for dinner the other night and said it looked delicious! She still has her struggles, but her quality of life has improved tremendously.
Ed is intuitive, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very dedicated to his clients. One occasion, when I couldn’t get Janis to Ed’s office, he came to our home. We have not had a bad day in a very long time. Ed constantly seeks input and feedback. He really asks and listens to what is going on, good and bad. He has tailored a treatment plan conducive to Janis’s needs. Ed earned my mother’s trust, she allows him to insert needles into her scalp without a peep. She’s even said it makes her feel relaxed. Over the years I have known Ed I have seen a dedication to his clients and profession that is uncommon in any field. He makes a point to study new aspects of care and further his knowledge with learned professionals in order to provide the best care for his patients. He was excited to apply the new techniques he recently learned at a 2 week neuro-acupuncture workshop in New Mexico. Janis is the lucky recipient. It is with full confidence that I recommend Ed Hubbell.
