Peter Liebenthal

Peter was able to provide me with almost instant relief from crippling lower back and leg pain cause by a pinched nerve. I had tried a chiropractor and had been put on pain killers, neither of which were helping. Finally, after enough people urged me to try acupuncture, I found Peter through online reviews and made an appointment. When I got off the table after my first appointment, it was the first time in weeks that I was able to walk upright without pain. I’ve continued a long-​term course of care with Peter, which has helped prevent me from aggravating the injury. I strongly recommend Peter — he is professional, caring, and always on time.

peter is a LIFESAVER. after our second child, i developed some severe back pain, i’m a stay at home mom. went to a sports med doc and a chiro and the first guys told me i needed to come in for shots in my spine every wk, P.T. twice a wk and to see him every other wk. the chiro helped but after a few mo i still found myself w/​days where i couldn’t MOVE w/​o feeling pain as if the air was just knocked out of me. moms, think the 9^th hr of labor pains. I went to see peter after a friend said accupuncture was the only thing that helped her through a chronic pain issue and although i had my reservations, i was desperate. the very next morning after my first appt i felt an enormous improvement. enormous. he has improved my quality of life… my children’s AND my husband’s. although he still helps me w/​my back, he also helps me w/​my immune system and stress. he has also seen our youngest for illnesses. he has taught me how to shorten the duration and severity of colds in our house w/​no meds and no doc visits! when he saw our little guy he mostly used massage type methods and good olé moxa (herbs) but you have the option to use the needles too. i have so many people that have asked me for his # bc not only does he help w/​SO many issues and treat so many ppl so works out of bethesda, nova/​alexandria AND dc!!!
