Dr. Carlson has helped me to reduce my migraine meds by over 50%. I don’t know what I would have done without her the last several years through acupuncture and Gua Sha.
Dr. Carlson has been an absolute Godsend for me. This is no exaggeration. I had spent over a decade struggling with *extremely* painful & irregular periods due to PCOS and suspected Endometriosis. When I came to see Dr. Carlson, I was a complete hormonal wreck from the havoc wreaked on my body due to 18 months of a failed IUD. I was at the end of my rope & months away from having a hysterectomy.From my very first appointment, I felt at ease and like I finally had hope. Dr. Carlson has a peaceful way about her and really LISTENS to you. She is always 100% focused on YOU and making sure you are feeling better. Her office staff has always been so friendly, as well.I am ecstatic to say that after only a few months of treatment, my cycles became regular and my pain is GREATLY decreased. I have been seeing Dr. Carlson for almost a year. I feel like I have normal cycles now that other women have always had. Its a miracle and I wish I had found Dr. Carlson years ago! ❤
The absolute best! I started seeing Dr Carlson ~5 years ago for chronic pain. It was the only thing that helped alleviate the pain. Fast forward through the past 5 years where I found out all the chronic pain was due to a hip labrum tear. She helped me recovery post-surgery. Then I continued to see her as means of sustaining. Ive recovered fully and am now pregnant! I see her regularly as my hips and pelvic move and shift during pregnancy. Again, the only thing that has helped! Dr. Carlson really does listen and genuinely wants to see me get better. In all the 5 years she has never pushed any herbs or supplement on me. I highly recommend her over and over and over again.
Been Working with Southwest Acupuncture for 23 years and wonderful experience and the result to prove it!!!
Being treated by Dr. Ellee has been a game-changer. She has helped me so much with multiple health issues and is always thinking of new treatments to improve my health and wellness. She makes you feel at home and really gets to know you as a patient. I can not recommend her enough
Southwest Accupuncture has been one of the best experiences I have had in the last decade. Dr. Carlson listened closely to my descriptions of pain in my knees, ankles, feet and sinuses. Her treatment had very noticeable results in a short period of time (I noticed the differences in a week). The treatments are very relaxing, and Dr. Carlson and her assistant, Hannah, are some of the most sociable, caring and delightful individuals I have met in a long time. I am very grateful I sought out their services.
Dr. Carlson is absolutely the best! She is everything I wish every one of my physician was. She is knowledgable, intuitive, professional, patient, kind and very easy to talk to. She takes time to talk to her patients and spends a great deal of time with you at every visit. You never feel rushed or unheard. She truly cares about her patients and their well being and it’s easy to see that during every visit. At first I was hesitant to try accupuncture but once I met Dr. Carlson I immediately felt comfortable and confident in her abilities. I look forward to my weekly visits with Dr. Carlson and walk out of her office feeling really good. I would recommend her to anyone who has done accupuncture in the past and has seen the amazing results it yields or to anyone who is new and wondering if it really works. It definitely works and it helps to have an acupuncturist you can trust.
While I was 18 weeks pregnant, I started suffering from really sharp round ligament pain. Nothing could relieve me, I was totally depressed. I made my own research online and discovered Dr Carlsons clinic. She really is my lifesaver! We began with a weekly appointment, it was a miracle! The pain decreased a lot, I was not feeling depressed anymore, my transit was much better too. Dr Carlson really listen to your needs with patience and comprehension. Caroline, her assistant is adorable too and always welcomes you with a smile. I warmly recommend acupuncture while you are pregnant, it completely changed my life!
My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for over six months when my naturopathic doctor recommended I start seeing Dr. Carlson. My cycles were very long or event non-existent. Right when I stared working with Dr. Carlson, my cycle became significantly shorter and we got pregnant within just two months! She made every visit an absolutely pleasure. She is so friendly and very knowledgeable about her profession. Im completely sold on acupuncture now!
Southwest Acupuncture is a welcoming and calming environment which I needed as a first time patient. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Ellee Carlson can combine different treatments for pain relief, faster injury recovery and promote over all wellness. I highly recommend!Mike R.
Amazing experience all around. I felt so comfortable with Ellee and sharing all the details of my struggles with stress and maintaining pregnancies. I looked forward to my appointments each week so much! I now have a beautiful 3-month old daughter so if youre having fertility issues, remember two things: 1) you are not alone and 2) look no further than Southwest Acupuncture Clinic.
I opted for acupuncture to treat both migraines and infertility. It helped with both! Dr. Carlson is always so patient, attentive, willing to really listen to what’s going on with me and treats me accordingly. After struggling with PCOS, I got pregnant (twice) after seeing her for only a few months. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her.
Ellee is an amazing practitioner. I am a strength and conditioning specialist and fellow body worker. I tend to try and take care of everything I possibly can on my own. Any time I have a rare issue, I go straight to Ellee. She has fantastic people skills and truly invests herself into healing others. She will listen and apply her treatments to your needs.If you are on the fence about booking a session for any reason, take the leap. You will be glad you did and wishing you had done it earlier.
Top notch service and results. It was my first acupuncture treatment, but I needed some pain relief and nothing else was working for me. I was a bit hesitant with the needles, but Dr. Carlson was so great in helping me out. Ellee was so great and I was so relaxed, I fell asleep! It was such a great help fixing my neck/back pain. 10/10 would recommend.
I look forward to my appointment with Ellee all week long. Her bedside manner is impeccable. in the three months Ive been a patient, Ive seen vast improvement on my health. Acupuncture and herbal tea have worked wonders!
Dr. Carlson is an absolute professional. Ive dealt with inflamed elbows and shoulders for years from exercise, and after a bad episode of lingering elbow pain from trying to push through it I finally sought some acupuncture. All else had failed, from ibuprofen, icing, resting, and even some physical therapy. Dr. Carlson gave me a thorough assessment and took the time to throughly explain the methods of acupunctural treatment to me. She was also extremely patient with my questions regarding how to deal with my aches and pains. Her patient education was excellent. Since then, my joint inflammation has calmed down a lot, and Ive been able to manage it much better with the recommendations Dr. Carlson made regarding potential dietary and lifestyle triggers. Thank you so much for giving me an improved quality of life I was about to give up on!
This was my first time doing acupuncture and I had really incredible results - better than I ever expected!Ive had a Mortons Neuroma in my right foot for the past 1.5 years or so. It had become so painful and prominent that my doctor recommended surgery to remove it. I wanted to try something else in case there was a more natural way of helping it heal before committing to another surgery.Within one visit with Dr. Ellee Carlson to try acupuncture the inflammation had gone down significantly - 85% of the pain was gone. After additional treatments, the pain is completely gone. Still have the occasional popping, and my hope is that over time that will go away too, but just to be rid of the pain has been INCREDIBLE.Dr. Ellee Carlson has been absolutely fantastic - she is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and really takes the time to understand where your pain is. She diligently tracks results and tries to figure out whats working / what isnt and adjusts the acupuncture accordingly. Highly recommend visiting her if you have a similar problem issue or are considering acupuncture for any reason!
I wanted to find an acupuncturist to alleviate my gastroparesis, sinus problems, stress and endometriosis. I honestly think finding Dr. Carlson was a God send. She is very personable and compassionate. Ellee takes the time to talk to you about what ailments are bothering you and what you would like to work on that day. She carefully evaluates the areas of concern and makes the process easy and relaxing.I 100% recommend acupuncture to those who are looking for some relief and relaxation. I am a true believer of the practice and Ellee makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Carlson and Hannah, her assistant, are wonderful women. I highly recommend Southwest Acupuncture Clinic to anyone in search of an acupuncturist!
Ellee is by far one of the best acupuncturists I have had the pleasure of going to. She is very skilled in her profession, but more than that, she is a very good LISTENER and will allow me to take my time and describe to her whats going on so that we can evaluate an acupuncture treatment for that given day.Other acupuncturists in the past have been more like an assembly line, where I go in and go out and needles are placed along random meridians without much thought. It is Ellees intention and her grace as a health practitioner that allows me to step into her office and really relax in her care. And everytime I step out of a treatment, I couldnt be happier and more rooted in the present moment!Highly, highly recommend Ellee for acupuncture in the DFW area. There is no one like her and I am so happy to have found a place that provides for a much needed reprieve and reset from my daily life.
I highly recommend Southwest Acupunture Clinic!! I started seeing Ellee when I was trying to get pregnant back in August 2014. She was so nurturing and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I got pregnant in November and had my daughter in August 2015. I saw Ellee during my entire pregnancy. I looked forward to every appointment because I always left feeling relaxed and balanced. Ellee is amazing and I feel so lucky to have found her!
“I have been competing at the national level in powerlifting for a number of years and with any sport there will be injuries, but the expertise and professionalism I receive from Ellee helps keep me healthy. I have known Ellee Carlson for almost a year now and she is a wonderful person and puts forth so much effort and time into her business and all of her patients that she sees. The acupuncture that I have received from Ellee has helped me recover from an ongoing shoulder injury as well as a back injury. I have received acupuncture for a number of years and the results I get here at Acupuncture for Athletes are amazing. Also the knowledge that Ellee has with acupuncture and her ability to treat people accordingly, me included, helps keep me healthy, free of aches and pains, minor injuries, and keeps me on the platform competing.”Chris Riley, 2012 North American Powerlifting Federation Champion, Owner of Dallas Strength and Conditioning
After hearing about how wonderful eastern medicine is for years from friends, I finally bit the bullet and went to see Ellee. It was probably the best decision Ive ever made! She genuinely cares about how youre doing and does her best to make you feel your best! Yes, the herbs dont taste very good, but with a touch of chocolate syrup you forget what youre drinking and just start feeling 100%. Ive never slept better than with taking Ellees special blend. Im somewhat fearful of needles, but you dont even feel her putting them in all you feel is the chi high you get afterwards. (I literally didnt know if Id be able to drive home I felt so drunk!). Its amazing! Id recommend Ellee to anyone! Even if you feel like youre pretty healthy and balance, go once and youll be addicted!!!
I was 40 weeks pregnant and freaking about not going into labor. I really wanted to avoid an induction at the hospital which too often ends up in a c-section. I tried all the home remedies, but nothing worked. I decided to give acupuncture a try. I went to my midwife on Friday and wasnt dilated at all, then I saw Ellee for an acupuncture treatment on Saturday. Being my first acupuncture treatment ever, I was worried that it was going to be painful, but it didnt hurt at all. Ellee was awesome; she made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I cant stand when people rush through appointments and and dont take the time to listen to my concerns. Ellee sat down with me and took the time to learn about my concerns. The ambiance of the office had an instant calming effect on me. When I went back to the midwife the day after my treatment I was 3cm dilated. Thanks to Ellee I was able to go into labor naturally which led to a textbook perfect birth. If you are pregnant and really want to avoid the all too often use of pitocin, I highly recommend SW Acupuncture. I know I will be returning to Ellee for baby #2.
Great clinic, friendly and knowledgable staff!
