Acupuncture in Wakefield, MA| Family Acupuncture & Herbs

I started going to Jose for acupuncture when I was 6 weeks pregnant due to debilitating morning sickness. He listened carefully to my concerns and symptoms and really cared! He's very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about treating pregnancy-related symptoms. I felt very comfortable with him right away. He treated me twice a week throughout the summer and I noticed a steady improvement with my nausea. I was able to eat real meals again which made my life so much more enjoyable! I highly recommend Jose!

I went to Jose for acupuncture for both my pregnancies. Both times he was so great to work with... very positive, explained the whole process, was encouraging while also managed expectations about the outcomes as a result of treatment. Both times, I got pregnant within months of seeing him (after multiple rounds of IVF without acupuncture). He is amazing and I will be forever grateful to him for optimizing my eggs and body for fertilization and pregnancy. He is just the best!

I had an amazing experience with Family Acupuncture & Herbs Of Reading. José is very knowledgeable and has a soft touch with the needles. The environment is very relaxing, which helps if one is not too fond of needles like I am. Most importantly, I definitely saw/felt immediate results. I highly recommend Family Acupuncture & Herbs Of Reading.

Jose is wonderful and played a key role in helping to treat my unexplained infertility - my husband and I are now expecting in the fall! Jose is knowledgeable, patient and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Family Acupuncture and Herbs!

Jose is amazing! I truly believe my IVF journey was successful due to Jose's help. Thank you Jose for sharing all of your knowledge with me and assisting me in my journey!

I couldn't be happier with my experience here! Jose helped my husband and I get pregnant not once but twice. We had tried for almost two years with my first daughter to get pregnant. I had a number of tests done and the results were unexplained infertility. I am young and healthy and couldn't believe that I would have to do fertility treatments quite yet. I did three rounds of Clomid, but didn't have any luck. After being frustrated and emotional I wanted to try alternative measures. I had irregular periods so I thought that might be what was causing my issues. Jose treated me with herbs and acupuncture and on the third month we were pregnant! It was awesome!!

When we thought about having our next child we didn't want to go through the emotional roller coaster of trying for a long time so when my daughter was about 15 months we went back to Jose. He started me on the same herbs and the very first month we were successful! This was after not using any birth control since our daughter was born. I still can't believe it!

I am SO thankful that I came across Family Acupuncture and Herbs of Reading. Jose has truly changed our lives and helped us to make our dream come true of having a family!! I can't say enough good things about his business. Jose has been professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. I would recommend him highly to anyone thinking about seeking his expertise!

I have been receiving acupuncture from Jose for the last few years with great results. He has successfully treated migraines, neck pain and high blood pressure. Jose is always listening to what you say so he can give the best treatment and is consistently a wealth of information due to his continuous research. I always look forward to my acupuncture appointments.

I have been a client of Jose's since 2011 when I was treated for infertility. He helped me through my second IVF cycle which was a success! Most recently, I have been receiving treatment for a bulging disc in my lower back. After just a few treatments, I have had significant pain relief. I highly recommend Jose and his practice!

Please make an appointment! I started seeing Jose when I was having many issues (stomach problems, anxiety, trouble sleeping) that were all explained by doctors as "normal." When western medicine was failing, my husband suggested I try acupuncture. After my first appointment with Jose I instantly felt a sense of relief and support. He took the time to really listen and was excited to help, which is so uncommon with health professionals these days. After my first session, I felt an immediate difference. And I feel this way every time I go. Now, months later, my husband & I are TTC and we can confidently say we know Jose will be helping us on this journey!

I started seeing Jose in April 2019 after 2 miscarriages (1 natural, 1 IVF genetically normal embryo transfer.) At my consultation with Jose I explained everything I'd been going through and he was very knowledgeable in fertility treatment. During my treatments Jose was friendly, the office and treatments were very relaxing. After about 2 months of seeing Jose I got a positive pregnancy test! I firmly believe Jose's treatment was a major contributing factor in receiving a positive result! I would highly recommend Jose!!

This place is really good. I was trying to become pregnant for around 2 years and my IVF doctor(Dr styer from CCRM) referred this place. I started going for acupuncture for fertility and doctor Jose Ruiz helped me in getting pregnant through acupuncture treatment and I am finally three months pregnant now. I will recommend this place for anyone who are trying to become pregnant. Also Jose Ruiz is very kind and friendly and he will ask all questions related to your health before he starts his treatment and every time I go for treatment he asks if we have any changes in our health. Jose Ruiz also treats stress, anxiety and other things. Its worth going to this place.

I had a wonderful experience with José and would highly recommend his care. He was informative and talked me through what was going on and why IVF treatments had been unsuccessful. Two different doctors had told me I was at the end of the road, but after a few months of treatment with Jose, I am thrilled to be in my 2nd trimester!

Reading Family Acupuncture & Herbs was my first Acupuncture experience. I am now a complete believer in Acupuncture after this wonderful experience with Jose. He is very knowledgeable; friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing and calming. I am certain that Jose helped with my infertility issues and he also helped ward off some of the debilitating pregnancy nausea during the first trimester. I highly recommend Reading Family Acupuncture & Herbs and will forever be grateful to Jose for all his help during a difficult time.

Jose is amazing! Thanks to a referral from a friend, I went to Jose for help with fertility struggles. I had been going to a fertility clinic, was diagnosed with PCOS, and was told that IVF was my best option. I can honestly say that Jose spent so much more time explaining things to me than my doctor did. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject, as well as supportive. I am thrilled to say that after 3.5 months of regular visits to Jose twice a week, I am expecting my first child, due in May, without IVF! I joke with my husband that he is the father, but Jose got me pregnant :-). If you are experiencing infertility and feeling frustrated, make acupuncture with Jose your next step.

Very satisfied with the result. My mom had a chronic pain in the shoulders, lower back. Even After 2 procedures she was skeptic about acupuncture. But then she got a relief and after each other visit she felt better and better. As Jose promised after 10 procedures she fells much better. Thank you. Very recommend!

My experience with Jose was very comforting during a very difficult time. Women dealing with infertility issues need to be treated with care and concern and Jose completely understands this. He allowed me to relax during a time I found this to be very difficult. He understands the challenges fertility treatments present and is very helpful explaining the process when doctors have fallen short in this area. I looked forward to each session and am grateful for the care I received.

I got acupuncture with Jose to supplement my IVF treatment in April 2023. I started the treatment in early April and had my egg retrieval by the end of May. I started to see Jose after 4 failed IVF cycles from which we had zero PGT normal embryos. After the treatment with him, I had 24 eggs retrieved and we ended up with 2 PGT normal embryos from that cycle. In my previous cycles, I used to have around 18-20 eggs on the day of the stimulation. But never many of them made it to the retrieval day. In the previous 4 cycles, they retrieved 11, 4, 16, and 9 eggs respectively and we never had a normal embryo from those cycles. From those 4 cycles, we sent 4 embryos in total for PGT (1 embryo per cycle) and none of them were normal. After the acupuncture treatment with Jose, 24 eggs made it to the retrieval day, we got 4 embryos, and 2 of them were PGT normal. Jose’s treatment did wonders for me. We were shocked about this result. We are so grateful to him! His holistic approach kept me relaxed, positive, and excited for good results, and obviously helped the eggs to develop evenly at a similar pace, which is very important. We can’t thank him enough! Initially, my husband was very skeptical about acupuncture and generally about non-Western treatment options. But he is now so grateful that I insisted that we invest in acupuncture too. Your doctor too might be skeptical about acupuncture. However, a standard IVF treatment alone works rarely for many women.
Also, before Jose, I tried two acupuncturists for a few sessions. Because I didn’t feel much difference, I dropped it. However, after one session with Jose, I saw a big difference physically and mentally.

When I first came to Jose, I was mentally & physically depleted due to various life stresses. Despite feeling so down and out, I immediately felt comfortable with Jose. He offered guidance, knowledge, kindness, support, and hope in a manner that was inviting and non-judgmental. Jose helped me to navigate the world of blood tests & hormone panels with my western doctors. He guided me in understanding which tests to request and provided honest & clear insight as to their results. And he also showed that he truly cared by reaching out to his acupuncture peers to gain other insights as to my 'condition'. Jose became an instrumental part of my holistic team of health practitioners who brought be back to optimal health. After irregular periods and a supposed diagnosis of 'premature ovarian failure' with less than a 10% chance of conceiving, within a year I had bounced back and got pregnant naturally!! I have no doubts that Jose and Family Acupuncture played an integral role in my own little miracle.

Jose really knows about the physiology of the female reproductive cycle and about fertility. For my particular case, he was very confidant telling me that I needed to see him twice a week and prescribed me Chinese herbs. I got pregnant 2 months after I started this regimen.
I do believe that the acupuncture + herbs along with the changes I made to my diet helped me to get pregnant. I highly recommend Jose.

Jose is great! I came to him for mal disembarkment syndrome after seeing about 5 other doctors and physical therapists who could not help me. After going to Jose I have my balance and energy back! The office is nice and relaxing! I would definitely recommend going here and next time he will definitely be my first stop!

I had never tried acupuncture before but was absolutely thrilled with my experience at Family Acupuncture & Herbs of Reading. Jose is extremely professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and took the time to answer any questions I had. A small, but important detail, I never ever waited for my appointments -- Jose always runs on time! I highly recommend this practice.

I came to see Jose after two failed IVF cycles from another clinic. I was at the point where I thought I would never be pregnant again but here I am today holding my baby boy in my arms due to Jose’s acupuncture and his recommendation to seek a second opinion with CCRM. I had multiple failed transfers before seeing Jose but he worked with me for several months prior to my transfer cycle and this last embryo finally stuck. He has exceptional knowledge about the whole process woman’s fertility. Very easy to talk to and helpful person. If it wasn’t part due to him I don’t think this cycle would have worked. I will be forever thankful as all the hard work and dedication working with him gave me my little baby 🙂 Highly recommend him if you are going through IVF or have any fertility issue.

I came to Family Acupuncture prior to starting IVF treatment. Jose worked with me twice a week through two cycles of IVF. He is very knowledgeable and skilled with patients who are experiencing fertility issues. The process really reduced my stress and helped balance my system. Thankfully, the second round of IVF worked, and I'm sure it's due in part to this acupuncture treatment!

I came to Family Acupuncture wanting to increase my chances of getting pregnant when I was using donor sperm (an expensive and sometimes grueling process). Though there wasn't anything clinically "wrong" with me, I found Jose's friendly and knowledgable demeanor to immediately put me at ease. He always answered any questions in a way that was easy to understand and gave me reasonable expectations as we worked through my personal plan. Happily, the results were very quick. I felt that Jose was a supporter the whole way.

This was my first experience and acupuncture and will definitely not be my last. I have nothing but praises for Jose and his professionalism, intelligence and kindness during this process. I sought out Jose after receiving referrals from a couple friends for infertility acupuncture. I am so glad I decided to give it a try. I ended up staying with Jose for approximately 3.5 months. Acupuncture not only helped in my fertility journey but also helped my stress and self awareness. Jose's practice is clean and his hours are very convenient, especially for the working mom! I high recommend Jose to anyone struggling with infertility, he is so knowledgeable about this subject and helped me through my journey.

Firstly, I highly recommend Jose. I am so appreciative of everything he has done. After having 2 miscarriages before beginning IVF treatments. I looked into acupuncture and the benefits of coupling it with IVF; I started seeing him about a year ago while simultaneously undergoing IVF treatments. I was hoping that the two together would help my chances. My doctors while ok with the acupuncture advised me against taking any herbal medicines. Well, after 2 years and 5 cycles of IVF treatments I still hadn’t been able to carry a viable pregnancy. I 100% believe that it wasn’t until I stopped IVF and began taking the herbal medicine along with acupuncture that helped me to become pregnant. As I am writing this I am 20 weeks pregnant. And I could not be happier with the treatment and care that I received. Regardless of what my outcome may have been I never doubted the fact that I was being treated by a skilled and knowledgeable professional. From my first visit, where Jose asked lots or questions and took lots of notes, I felt at ease. Make the appointment, you won’t regret it.

I started seeing Jose 16 weeks into my second pregnancy when my morning sickness continued on relentlessly. After 4 appointments, I felt like a human again! Not only am I keeping down my meals, but my headaches have decreased significantly as well. This is the only thing that has helped without making me feel like a zombie. I would highly recommend giving acupuncture a try!

Jose was very instrumental in helping me with my IVF process. I worked with him through the egg retrieval, transfer, and first trimester. I would highly suggest him, as he knows how to help you and the symptoms that come along with the process. I can't thank him enough for the help!

Jose is a miracle worker. He has the ability to make anyone instantly feel comfortable, while always staying extremely professional and knowledgeable in the correct methods to relieve pain. I came to him after I had pulled out my neck and back, and he was determined to not end the session until a 100% relief rate - which he succeeded in. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning!

Jose is professional, positive and compassionate. The acupuncture treatments allow me experience pain free living. Every time I leave the office I feel calm and full of hope. I highly recommend seeing Jose for your acupuncture needs!
