“Dr. Waltemate has been extremely helpful in managing my pain. I have a prosthetic hip, which causes me chronic pain issues, and he has been able to manage my symptoms to such a degree that I have been able to stop using pain medications. I also have constant, varying sports injuries that he is able to treat with ease. He is extremely courteous, really listens to your concerns, and makes every effort to improve your condition. I would definitely recommend a visit to his practice to anyone!"

-Jose Portalatin

“I have been seeing Dr Waltemate for over a year. He has helped me considerably with not only physical pain but also with internal issues. He is very professional and takes time to listen. If I present a unique issue he takes the time to do his research to find the best approach. I highly recommend him.”

About Dr Eric Waltemate, D.C.

Dr. Waltemate attended undergraduate school at Southwestern Illinois College from 1995 to 1996 and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale from 1996 to 1998. He received his training in Chiropractic from Logan College in Chesterfield, MO where he was on the Dean’s List and received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees. He graduated from Logan College in 2002.

When presented with an especially difficult case, Dr. Waltemate decided to explore acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Instruction in the Chinese language at an earlier age has allowed him to translate books and scientific articles.

Dr. Waltemate received his first acupuncture certification from Logan College in 2004 and his second in 2005. Also, in 2005 he received a diploma from The Institute of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture in Santa Monica, CA. Dr. Waltemate teaches doctors from all around the world how to use acupuncture to get their patients better.

"Dr. Waltemate is everything I could have ever asked for in a doctor. He genuinely cares about each patient, which is evident in the ample time he gives during each appointment. Dr. Waltemate ensures each patient receives the care and services he or she deserves, which is not something I found with other doctors. As a person who suffered 4+ headaches weekly, I can honestly say I have had 2 in the past 3 months. I would highly recommend Dr. Waltemate for anyone, at any age, at any severity level. Dr. Waltemate has helped me start a new, healthier lifestyle."

-Liz Paquin

Dr Waltemate has been doing acupuncture for my mother for 5 days (she still has 5 more visits next week) and we can already see an amazing difference. She had a stroke a year ago that affected her left leg and left arm. She has not been able to walk without a walker. Her stability has been horrible and her motivation has been slim. Since seeing Dr Waltemate this week, she is now walking with a cane (until she gets tired....then she switches back to the walker for safety) and she has so much energy. She was even able to cut her own food for the first time since her stroke. Highly recommend acupuncture by Dr Waltemate!!

Acupuncture

What conditions can Therapy treat?

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine, thin needles under the skin to relieve pain, dysfunction, and muscle spasm. It is also known as “dry-needling.” The needles used at our clinic are sterile, single-use needles. Since the needles are inserted shallowly, the treatment is virtually painless.
