Tallahassee Chinese Medicine and Community Acupuncture

I have been seeing Dr Luke for morethan two years off and on. He is always accommodating to my schedule. He has helped me with bursitis in my hip and a neuroma on my foot. I am always happy when I leave.I recently saw Dr Cal and he too is amazing. I recommend both of these gentleman to all my friends and anyone else who is looking for acupuncture or chiropractic care.

Dr. Luke Rizzo is a kind soul and extremely caring and thoughtful. I am a student and he has helped me holistically, never failing to address the root of my issues, whether they be emotional or physical. Cannot recommend this practice enough. Thank you!

Dr. Craig and Dr. Luke are amazing! Dr. Craig took the best care of me when I was pregnant. He listened to all of my various symptoms and I had a pain free and healthy pregnancy (and largely anxiety free!) Highly recommend for anyone wanting to feel more balanced.

Over the last two years I went through a very difficult time with stage 3 breast cancer. The side effects of the treatment were almost as bad as the chemo! Severe body pain and neuropathy in my feed, paralysis in various parts of my body, severe exhaustion, shingles in my face, and Bells Palsy left me unable to do much more than an hour of anything each day. Nothing helped me. But Dr. Craig, when I went to him five months ago, said he could help...AND HE DID! Through his expertise (and Dr. Lukes when he was not available) and meeting him 2x/week for 4 months; 1x/week now), I now have full energy, the pain and exhaustion are gone, the paralysis in several places has significantly lessened, the neuropathy is slowly getting better, and the numbness in the right side of my face from the Bells Palsy is 90% healed. Dr. Craig and his team are clearly experts at what they do; they are kind, attentive and thoughtful. I would highly recommend Tallahassee Chinese Medicine to anyone who needs help in dealing with pain and other issues. Happy to share more if needed.

I deal with nervous system disregulation and hypermobility which causes headaches/migraines, join pain, thermal regulation issues, anxiety and more.I tried acupuncture on two separate occasions with different practitioners a year or more before finding Dr Craig and I didn’t think acupuncture worked for me. But after a recommendation from my neurologists at Mayo Clinic, I decided to try one more time and give it a real shot. I committed to 6 weeks of treatment and then would reevaluate at that point.I have been seeing him for over a year now and I have experienced profound change. We work together to interpret what my body is telling us and help steer it to a place of more balance and resilience.I went from every single day being a painful struggle to my body having resilience, my periods got way better (which wasn’t even a thing I was going in for!), I get fewer headaches and migraines, I am in pain significantly less overall, and I am so much more tuned into understanding what my body is telling me and supporting it instead of fighting with it or being annoyed with what its putting me through.FYI for newcomers, it took me some time to get used to the language/styles used in Chinese Medicine for how they model/treat the body and its systems. I think the “slow medicine” style of acupuncture (vs whats most culturally common here where you take a pill and 30mins later your migraine is gone, etc) can be difficult for people but I really benefitted from consistently going and keeping an open mind even though I didnt (and still dont) understand a lot.As a final note, I have to say that when people are struggling with medical issues like chronic pains, etc it can be really stressful financially to get the care you need with the frequency you need it but Dr Craig’s community acupuncture sessions make it affordable to get treated with regularity whereas lots of other treatments (like massage, etc) can be too expensive to do with the frequency that your body needs it. This is yet another reason that I was able to commit to regular treatments and get my body to a better place.

Dr. Luke guided me through the whole process and really asked detailed questions most places don’t. He spoke on my physical spiritual and emotional bodies. He was able to articulate my symptoms coherently that sometimes gets lost in other spaces. It was my first time experiencing acupuncture and it definitely won’t be my last. I barely felt anything and each had a different sensation. For the duration of the session I practiced breath work and allowed my body to release everything. I love that I chose community because it felt like a mini retreat. If you want to experience alternative and holistic wellness give this place a try.

Craig literally has saved my life! Hes was a huge part of my recovery through three major surgeries, helps me manage nerve pain and is the only one who can get rid of my migraines. He is a lovely human being and a wealth of overall wellness/health/nutrition information. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment...like, right now.

I had been to several neurologists for my debilitating migraines over the course of a year and no medications or injections helped. I didnt really believe in acupuncture but I had tried everything else and was desperate. I cant tell you what a life hanger Dr. Craig has been for me. He told me on my first visit that my migraines would lessen then go away and I thought he was full.of it honestly, but he was 100% right! His environment is so therapeutic, he is a consummate professional, and a master at his craft. I highly recommend you see him if you are having an ailment.

Dr Luke and Dr Craig are both wonderful practitioners. They are kind, compassionate, good listeners and gifted in providing and facilitating healing. I cant recommend this practice enough!

Luke was warm, friendly and professional. The consultation was a great experience and I really felt like I could open up. And the acupuncture itself! The immediate results in pain reduction in my left trap and shoulder were remarkable. It reduced immensely after just the second visit. He also used the cupping technique which was extremely effective. The atmosphere of both locations was comfortable as well.

Were Pregnant!!! After 3 years of trying, we finally did IUI and I paired my IUI with acupuncture therapy with Dr. Craig. I saw him for about 2 months before our IUI and then all the way up to 15 weeks pregnant once per week. It was SO relaxing and Dr. Craig actually cares about his patients and wants the best for you. He shared in our excitement when I told him the big news. If you dont know, the odds of IUI working on first try are only about 20%. That is why acupuncture is utilized because it increases that percentage dramatically. I am testimony that Dr Craig knows what he is doing and will do everything he can to help you reach your goals whether they are to get pregnant or just find some pain relief. I hate needles but these are so small and thin you barely feel them. I always fell asleep during my sessions and woke up ultra zen and relaxed. Highly highly recommend!!

I went to Dr. Thomas after a PTSD response and fibromyalgia flare up last October. I was in such bad shape that I could barely walk some days and had a number of issues happening all at once. Craig has been wonderful in helping bring down my inflammation, my endometriosis is getting under control, my mental clarity is back and over all feeling well occurs when I take care of me and stay consistent with the community acupuncture visits.Unfortunately, life events keep happening and when I go into overdrive and a project is completed, I always crash afterwards and fall back into the same responses. So Im coming multiple times a week right now to bring things back down to normal. Im so grateful to my friend who spoke of him so many years ago, so when I was at my whits end and felt like no one would listen, Craig got it right away! Now, I have a team of doctors that Im trusting to bring me back to health and Craig is #1 in my book!The community acupuncture visits are so affordable and thats really helpful on a budget. The sliding scale to pay is between $15 - $30. You pay what you can. He also has a massage therapist thats amazing as well. The environment is quiet and peaceful and Craigs energy is very easy going and he really listens to combat whats happening. What a gift.

I highly recommend Dr. Thomas. He has a compassionate, knowledgeable, and personable approach. I have been to many acupuncturists and have not gotten the results that I have gotten from him. The sliding scale made the amount of treatment I needed possible. When I started treatment with him, I had severe chronic Lyme and a diagnosis of MS. I was bedridden. Now, I am living a full life and moving towards my ideal picture of wellness. I havent started taking dance classes yet, but I think I can get there.

Dr. Luke - Amazing, kind, and patient. He has listened and takes care of his patients. He is phenomenal and provides a safe, nurturing experience for those new to acupuncture.

I have been going to Dr Craig over 15 years. He is great at what he does.

Craig is great. He does an amazing job. You can tell that he really knows that he is talking about and really cares about his patients. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

My daughter and I wouldnt go any other place for holistic healing. Liz was able to relieve the pain that I had been experiencing for over a month from piriformis syndrome. Not only have I gone to her for physical pain but recently for spiritual & mental pain.

This is a phenomenal service for the community. I highly recommend! I love the passion that Luke exudes in his practice. Happy healing everyone!

Dr. Craig is great. The sliding scale he offers for veterans is amazing and makes access to acupuncture affordable.

After countless visits to two other local acupuncturists, I am particularly impressed with Craig Thomas practice and highly recommend him.

They work with each patient to get the best results instead of taking a generic approach. Always good results

So beneficial in so many ways! Dr. Thomas is very knowledgeable, personable, conscientious, and caring.
