Pain
Management I
"Dr. Robert and Cindy Kienitz are one of the best teams for healing the
whole body that I have come across. When I first came to the beach I
developed painful plantar fasciitis. Dr. Robert gave me acupuncture
treatments which relieved my pain. Cindy suggested I try reconnective
healing. I was amazed at how this therapy put me in a place of balance
physically, emotionally and spiritually. My next acupuncture session was
enhanced and I knew it was a direct result of my body's response to both
modalities. I no longer suffer from any pain and will run on the beach
with my granddaughter this summer.
Thank you both so much."

Pain Management II
Having had spine surgery, I discovered I also had no cartilage in my
left hip and would require a total hip replacement. Needless to say I
could not face another surgery in a timely manner; I had to give myself
some time. Acupuncture from Dr. Kienitz helped my back to recover more
quickly and gave the relief I needed before having my hip replaced one
and one half years later. I can only say Thank You,

I am an amputee above the knee on my left leg, From time to time I
experience severe spasms that are very painful. I called Robert Kienitz
and he said he could help me. After 2 acupuncture treatments the spasm
stopped.

Stress Management
I have visited Robert Kienitz several times over the last few years. My
first visit was to try a session of acupuncture after having read so
much about its benefits. I was not in pain but looking to find a bit of
stress relief.(Mother of a 2year old at the time and a recently retired
husband!) After one 30 minute pain free session, I remember telling Dr.
Robert that the effects were much better than any hour-long massage I
have ever had. My whole body felt very relaxed and calm.
I received even better results when I pulled my back out after a long
summer weekend at a local restaurant where I am a waitress. I was in so
much pain I could not move my upper body. I called Dr. Robert on a
Sunday morning because I didn't know who else to call. He offered to see
me in his office that morning. After a session on my back with
electro-magnetic stimulation (pain free), I was able to go home and rest
the rest of the day, and the next day I felt fine.

Diabetes
I became a patient of Dr. Kienitz after a long and frustrating struggle
within western medicine to treat Type II diabetes, high cholesterol,
high blood pressure, and obesity. Every time I visited my GP, the
numbers were worse and I left with another prescription. To make matters
worse, I kept gaining weight, felt more tired, had more pain and felt
like I was aging at a rapid and alarming rate.
I made a determination to challenge my health problems, praying to find
a life path to turn things around. I was seeking a healer that would
listen and work with me. I had been to an acupuncturist for pain and had
good results. However, I didn’t feel the connection I was looking for.
One day I went into the local coffee shop, “Majic Beans” to talk with
the people there about putting up a poster advertising Buddhist meetings
in Wilmington. It was through our conversation that I found out that
Robert Kienitz had an office in Carolina Beach, AND, he came highly
recommended. I was excited, a little fearful, but determined. I felt
that Dr. Kienitz was an answer to my prayer.
I have not been disappointed. When I look back at how I was feeling when
I began and how I feel today, I am deeply grateful for all Dr. Kienitz
has done for me. I don’t know that much about Chinese medicine, except
that I feel 100% better. I am losing weight, feeling more energetic, am
more productive. I can’t say enough about the positive results I have
experienced. I have recommended Dr. Kienitz to my friends and relatives
and will continue to do so.

Smoking Cessation
Over a period of two years, I have tried several programs to quit
smoking. I have even tried to quit cold turkey without success. After
one visit with Robert and Cindy Kienitz, I lost the desire to smoke.
Wanting to quit was the first step, Acupuncture, and Meditation sealed
the deal. I have not felt the need to smoke since.

Insomnia
I had been suffering from insomnia for almost ten years and had tried
many remedies in search of a full night of uninterrupted sleep. I tried
everything from traditional and folk remedies to conventional over the
counter and prescription sleeping aids.
No matter what I tried, if it worked at all, it was short-lived. The
quantity of sleep I got was always compromised by the poor quality of
sleep I was still getting while using these methods. More often than
not, I woke up feeling groggy rather than fully rested. I had resolved
to sleeping less than I needed to, and quit complaining. Life was
tiring, days were a struggle to get through. I stopped even talking
about how I felt to anyone, and resolved to accept it, as so many women
in their forties are told they must do, as my 'cross to bear'.
When I went to Robert Kienitz, he surprised me with a diagnosis that was
totally unexpected, but made complete sense. Looking back, I realize
that the herbs he prescribed worked because they addressed the root
cause of the problem, rather than just addressing the symptoms, as all
the other remedies had done. Rather than assume that I had to live with
it, he assured me that my sleep deprivation was not an inevitable result
of hormonal changes but was due to an overall systemic imbalance which
was correctable. I took the herbal formula he prescribed and had total
success, just as he said. Not only do I continue to sleep soundly, I
wake up feeling totally refreshed, and not in the least bit lethargic.
Of course my overall health has also improved greatly as a result.
Some healers have a vast amount of knowledge and little attunement to
the intuitive side of healing. Others have great intuition and a caring
nature, but little knowledge. Robert Kienitz has all of these qualities
and offers a great service to anyone who is fortunate enough to discover
him. I would recommend him with total confidence, to anyone, but
especially to people who suffer from problems that no one else can
resolve. He is a great doctor and a highly gifted human being.

Woman’s Medicine
Dr. Kienitz epitomizes the act of listening to the patient, with great
patience, during the process of working out a treatment plan. I was able
to explain the bits and pieces of my health issues, from the past as
well as changes since the last visit, slowly as they came to me at each
visit, and Robert's manner was "all ears". When I received my treatment
plan at each visit after talking at length with him, I truly felt that
the treatment was customized for my unique situation. One of the
results: my female cycle symptoms are more manageable overall, and I
have a custom-blended tea on hand for any sudden trouble days (and it
works)."

Depression
I am a secondary progressive MS patient and am walker dependent. I have
tried some of everything including bee stings to get relief. I had heard
of acupuncture so I decided to give it my best try too. Honestly, my
rapidly declining ability to walk that motivated me to try this type of
therapy was not changed by it but neither did the liquid gold that I
inject every other day change it. What I did notice was (the best I can
describe it is) that my emotional well being felt better. I felt less of
the depression that can seem to be a constant of MS and is a side effect
of the drug therapy. One physical change that I did notice was less
stiffness and pain of my limbs. Robert Kienitz is a caring practitioner
(Thank your for raising him well Cindy LOL). When I am able, I will
certainly again seek his help in this area.

Asthma / Allergies
I first started seeing Dr Kienitz about pain in my feet that would not
go away...after two visits of 20 minutes each they felt dramatically
better! When spring hit and my asthma/allergy thing flared up, as it
always does, I called on him again. WOW! I can't begin to tell you what
the combination of herbs and acupuncture did. Western medicine could and
should take note! I have also consulted with Dr. Kienitz regarding my
sugar addiction -- we're talking five (5) candy bars for lunch. I still
have the jones for sugar but it's much more controlled. I have
recommended several of my friends to Dr. Kienitz for different issues,
and they both called to thank me for the referral...so I'm a recent
convert but I sing his praises to the sky!

Peripheral Neuropathy
I have been a patient of Dr. Kienitz’ for 3 years, I moved to North
Carolina from California, very concerned about finding an acupuncturist
that could treat my accelerating condition of peripheral neuropathy.
Furthermore, in California, I had been put through a gamut of tests to
diagnose my condition. Finally, my Doctor of Neurology stated that all
he could offer for my pain was prescriptive pain medication. I refused
to accept what western medicine provided.
I was very pleased to find Dr. Kienitz through on of his advertisements.
Upon my first treatment I knew I had found a doctor that was very
experienced in treating my condition. In fact, very aggressive and
knowledgeable!
I have been receiving bi-weekly treatments for my condition in
conjunction with a regimen of Chinese herbs. This treatment has stayed
the progression of my condition dramatically! And without side-effects!
I owe this all to the experienced and caring treatment of Dr. Robert
Kienitz. His vast knowledge in treating many ailments, not just
neuropathy, is the reason why I refer him to my friends and family.
Thank you Doctor Kienitz (Robert) for making my life better, healthier
and happier!
Very Sincerely,

Cholesterol Miracle!
When my doctor told me that my cholesterol was dangerously high, I
resisted the idea of taking cholesterol medication. I knew the side
effects could be terrible; my father had experienced severe muscle
weakness from taking Lipitor. A friend of mine recommended that I see
Dr. Kienitz before I made a decision about taking medication. I’m so
glad I did! He suggested that I take two kinds of Chinese herbs along
with a monthly acupuncture treatment. I decided to take the herbs and
improve my diet for three months and then have my cholesterol checked
again.
When my doctor told me the results of my lab work, she was shocked. My
cholesterol had dropped by 50 percent! She said this kind of improvement
was unheard of just through changes in diet and exercise. I explained
that I was also taking Chinese herbs and getting acupuncture once a
month. She wanted to know the herbs’ ingredients and was excited about
the positive effects they had on my cholesterol.
I’m thrilled about lowering my cholesterol by using natural Chinese
herbs instead of a medication like Lipitor. I feel a lot better, too,
and have much more energy than I used to. I highly recommend Dr.
Kienitz!
