“Even some insurances that I’ve never even heard of, they cover it.” Even some of her patients decided to vouch for the alternative care practice. Richard Ulan of Passaic has come for the past three years for pain relief in his knee that needs to be replaced. “The doctors told me I needed surgery, but I didn’t want to go under the knife,” said the 63-year-old, whose ACL and cartilage were badly damaged due to a high school sports injury. He has since developed crippling arthritis that had previously made him walk with a limp. “The doctors gave me two years before I needed the surgery,” said Ulan, who was told to delay surgery for as long as possible, since the repairs would not be permanent. “It’s going on three years now.” He now goes two times a week to Dr. Doktorman and says that the pain has subsided to levels that enable him to do exercises meant to help stabilize his joint. Prior to this, Ulan has never used acupuncture. “When you’re in the corner and up against it, you’re open to new things,” he laughed, adding that he has also had relief from his allergies. “I had nowhere to go.” However, like Doktorman, Ulan said that while helpful, you shouldn’t use acupuncture exclusively. “It’s just a piece of the puzzle,” he said. “It’s one component that you can use to improve your health.”
