Chuck Hipple, MSAc

Hipple’s acupunture clinic is hands-​down Charlotte’s best! Highly professional and knowledgeable about alternative medicine. Hipple offers specialized treatments for allergies too! Healing, pain and stress management, or just relaxation are transformative. This acupuncture clinic is very dedicated to the customer and the craft of healing!

Chuck is beyond amazing. There aren’t enough words to describe how caring he is. I’ve seen how hard he works and cares for each one of his patients. Not too long ago I had something that presented as a pinched nerve in my right hand. My thumb, index finger and middle finger were numb, felt like they were on fire and slowly swelling. It was to the point where I couldn’t even move my fingers, write or even put my clothes on. I remember it was the middle of the night and I went to the ER and what a waste of time! I immediately called Chuck the next morning and in a matter of four-​five treatments I was able to see a tremendous difference. I was able to write, feel, and move my fingers. I highly recommend his practice to anyone.

My entire family sees Chuck for preventive care and none of us got sick since we see him bi-​weekly :-). Beautiful clinic, professional team, great service !

I have been going to Hipple Inc. for 4 years now, and can say that it has changed my life for the better. I have been to both Amy Rhoads and Chuck Hipple, and both are absolutely amazing. I started seeing Amy for the first two years. I had a back issue which lead to debilitating pain to the point where I could barely walk. I was on heavy pain killers and Ambien to sleep. It was horrible, and I was in chronic pain. Amy helped get me off the drugs and treated me to the point where my pain has nearly subsided. It has been an entire new world. Chuck has treated me as well, and he is the cream of the crop. He is the most caring, passionate individual. Really both he and Amy are. I cannot recommend this place enough. I trust them both explicitly.

Before I knew anything about the studied efficacy of acupuncture, I saw Chuck Hipple for an undiagnosed medical condition. He prescribed and began to deliver an undetermined number of treatments to affect my spleen. After about six treatments, with no discernible change — nor promise of improvement — I gave up.
Much later, I decided to research acupuncture. I highly recommend you do this research before using any acupuncturist. IT IS PSEUDO SCIENCE. Here is a summary from «Trick or Treatment,» an unbiased, comprehensive review (book) of the major research into «alternative medicine»:
«Systematic reviews make it clear that acupuncture does not work for a whole range of conditions, except as a placebo. Hence, if you see acupuncture being advertised by a clinic, then you can assume it does not really work, except possibly („the evidence is neither consistent nor convincing“) in the treatment of some types of pain and nausea.»
Chuck, you took my money with no medical understanding of my condition — nor evidence or reliable conviction that you could do anything about it. I’d like a refund.

I started going to Dr. Hipple when I was about 16 for my allergies, then for acne, then the common cold… pretty much anything that is going on with my body I go in for a treatment. He has worked with many members of my family including my grandfather who was diagnosed with alzheimer’s disease. He is an amazing Doctor, calm, gentle and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone. The entire ambiance of the office is extremely peaceful.
