What people say
"Professional yet Warm, Welcoming and Trustworthy I had to break my 2 year hiatus with writing Yelp reviews to come back and give Chris Hudson and Rittenhouse Acupuncture 5 stars. I wasn't sure what to expect with my first Acupuncture experience, but Chris takes all of the nerves out of the process..." "Acupuncture with Professionalism and Thoughtfulness." "As a Doctor, I highly recommend Chris as an Acupuncturist. I suffered a long hospitalization/ICU stay, and developed a peripheral neuropathy from my illness -- I went to Chris to try to help heal it. I wasn't sure if acupuncture was going to work for me, but I was willing to try it since my sister-in-law really liked it, and because I figured that it couldn't hurt."
