Review from Shira C.
Antioch, CA
9/13/2008
In true "Thelma and Louise" style I drove off a small embankment and rolled my car. I ended up breaking my top two vertebrae aka breaking my neck. I was in physical therapy 3x a week, therapy, massage, and on a hefty dose of very strong pain killers, anxiety meds, and sleep aids. Once I got my brace off there were many other issues to deal with that I never saw coming!
I went to Jason on a family friend's word that he was the best. I was a bit freaked out by the whole needle thing, but I was willing to try anything to find my old self/spirit back and ease my pain. Jason soon became my cure all. His bedside/table-side manner is amazing, he listens...really listens, and after getting to know you he continues to ask questions and respond accordingly. He also begins to predict and solve. He has ESP when it comes to what my body needs...or at least damn good skills, training, and intuition within 30 seconds of seeing me.
Jason helps my neck, but more importantly he is a pivotal part of re-energizing my spirit, helping me maintain balance in my body, and continues to assist me during my transition back to the "land of the living." I have continued to see him weekly, sometimes biweekly ,and I always leave feeling better! Always!
My body is very sensitive to meds. I was being "thrown" all sorts of pain remedies that ended up hurting me more than helping me. I respond to this type of Eastern Medicine, and it is the ONLY type of treatment that hasn't left me feeling any negative side effects.
Jason's work benefits me in many wonderful ways. Below, I have listed what acupuncture by Jason Luban has done (and continues to do) for me:
- Helped pain of broken neck and later aching back, headaches, and spine area.
- Helped with side effects from Cortisone Epidural Shots in my C Spine for bulging discs.
- Helped with depression, anxiety, and fear (The transition from "Injured Woman" to "Post Injured Living, Working, And Dating Woman" has been a long ongoing transition...whew!)
-After trying to teaching high school full time, this body cried from the long and stressful days spent on my feet...Jason consoles by needles :)
- Helped with cleaning my tortured little body after ingesting heavy doses of pain killers for months at a time. After the pain killer year came the year of muscle relaxants, anti- inflamation pill/patches, anti-anxiety meds, and sleep aids.
- Helped me recover in an unheard of amount of time from a mean hangover after a night celebrating my recovery.. oops!
- Helps me with PMS, bloating, and other digestive issues
- Helps increase or decrease my energy to find the perfect balance
-Makes me have a love for little black dogs named Josie who play wing-woman to the acupuncturist.
-Helps my body find and hold a consistent rhythm which enables me to sleep better, and be more productive
I can't imagine my life w/o these treatments. Holistic Health/Acupuncture with Jason has changed my life...He is able to deal with (and heal) many of my health issues that other Dr's were unable to provide relief for.... Now I am a true believer. AMEN! -

I went to Jason because I was at my wits end with insomnia that had been limiting to my sleep to 3-4 hours at night for almost two months. I had been to the doctor and had been prescribed two different kinds of sleep meds, neither of which helped much and in fact, one of them gave me a splitting headache. Almost as a last resort I went to Jason from a friend's recommendation. I wouldn't have believed it, but it was like magic. That night I slept 6 1/2 hours and within a few days I was feeling human again.
Jason is very knowledgeable and has a very warm. personable, caring manner. I never felt rushed and in fact when I left, I felt nurtured, an uncommon experience after going to Western medicine doctors. I highly recommend him. -

Jason is a master at what he does. I went in with a serious attack of gastritis. I was cleared within 24 hours - just from one visit to Jason and some strategically placed needles! In addition he gave me a great recommendation for kuzu root starch (twice a day) which also aided me in calming down my very irritated stomach. I can't believe how quick that condition went away - would have been almost a full week on western medicine.
Also, he helped me with my rotator cuff problem - within 3 sessions I no longer had any rotator cuff issues. I am to the point where I would call jason with almost any of my medical needs. -

I highly recommend Jason Luban as the best acupuncturist/herbalist I've tried. He's helped me with everything from wrist/hand pain to getting me better faster if I'm feeling sick. My favorite thing to see him for is just relaxing and he brings my body back to balance. I leave feeling more grounded & calm. Jason's easy-going personality makes you feel right at home. Everyone I've sent to him has had a great experience and they keep coming back for more.

Jason is an amazing acupunturist! He really looks at the whole body to make sure he's really taking care of your issues. I couldn't be happier with the results! I've been seeing Jason for over 5 years now for various things and each time I need him, whatever is aching, he takes care of it! Also, he doesn't just have you go for the sake of going (and spending money!). He actually gets you better and you are done! I've had issues with both of my shoulders, and both times he had taken care of the pain and impingements. He is also extremely pleasant, honest and you really feel like he "hears" you and gets a plan together to take care of the issues. I highly recommend him!

Jason is a caring professional who has created a warm haven for those of us who put our health in his capable hands. He has treated my atopic eczyma, sinus and allergy problems and been unswervingly positive and supportive. I only recently told him that needled are not things I generally feel comfortable with but I know that his care has raised the quality of my life significantly! You will experience the same - just don't over schedule so I can't get it!

After 11 years of neck pain, 2 unsuccessful surgeries, and a total disruption to my daily life, Jason successfully remedied my pain and gave me my active life back. Wow, both my wife and I are still amazed. I've since sent about 3 others to his practice. Not only does he deliver positive results, he's a lot of fun to talk with while being treated. I give him 4 thumbs up (2 from me, 2 from my wife). Highly recommended.

I am a tough grader so I do not give 5 stars. I have been treated by about 8 acupuncturists in my life, and, while it is difficult to make comparisons of effectiveness because of different styles and different medical conditions being treated, I am very comfortable with Jason's approach, and I highly recommend him. Most of the other practitioners have been native Chinese speakers who trained in China. In general, their approach is to just get on with the treatment and not go into a lot of detail about what is going on or why the treatment is the way it is. Partly this is a language issue, and partly a tradition of the practice for those trained in China I think. Jason is very much the opposite, and that is a big reason why I prefer his approach, and you will too if you want to learn about why acupuncture can help you. He is a super nice guy and very patient, and he will give you as much detail as you wish regarding why he is doing things the way he is. He can explain things in such a way that even a scientific-minded person can appreciate the treatment. He can explain it in terms of chi or in terms of neurobiology, your choice. Another thing I really like about him is that he is clearly interested in becoming better at what he does since he is always doing research and taking workshops to improve his skill and effectiveness in a comprehensivie manner. Other nice things about his practice are the location (near BART), clean and pleasant environment, reasonable prices, and ability to access through Kaiser Health plans as well.

Jason is an incredibly gifted practicioner of Chinese medicine. If you're at all leery about having yourself poked with needles, he is the perfect acupuncturist for you. He demystifies the process, while somehow tapping into energies (qi) that I don't entirely understand. He is calm, professional and soothing without being so "new-agey" that you are tempted to stab him back with his own needles. I wish I lived closer, so I could use his services on a regular basis.

Jason is the first acupuncturist I've been to, but I don't think I want to try anyone else! I have been seeing him about a pain in my heel that just won't go away (Plantar fasciitis). I am SO happy and pleasantly surprised (and relieved) to say that his sessions have actually really worked! He really explains everything that he is doing and lets you know what it is and why it helps. He also talks very casually about things other than what's going on in your session- which helps make you feel very comfortable. That was especially nice for me since I had not had acupuncture before. He has been giving me herbs that I take home and soak my foot- this has really helped! He says that he is a bad businessman because he really wants you to heal and not need to see him regularly- which is helpful for your wallet! I highly recommend seeing him for any pain or concerns you may be having. He really knows his stuff and makes it such a pleasant experience!

Jason Luban is the best! He's obviously very knowledgeable in Chinese Medicine and I was impressed. (I mean, he doesn't LOOK Chinese.. but has the KNOWLEDGE of a wise Chinese person.) I went to Jason to see if he could help me lose weight, and it worked. He was very truthful and real, which I appreciate very much (there is no magic pill). The advise and knowledge he sent me home with was very valuable; and I still use his principles today. Jason is very patient, and you know he has all his attention on you, not what's going on outside or other. He has your health as your number 1 priority. Thanks Jason! I highly recommend Jason Luban for any ailments you may have. Or, maybe to even just visit his puppy dog!

Accupuncture by Jason is warm and engaging. Jason listens to what you say and tries different techniques until he finds the one that helps with your problem. I am a very satisfied patient. I would recommend him first for problems with pain and stress.
