” I was having lower back pain for 2 years and treated it using heat, ice and pain meds prior to coming for acupuncture. All pain disappeared within 18 hours of my first acupuncture treatment! The acupuncture procedure was not painful to me.
I am just so thankful and ecstatic to be pain free now! ” – Fred, 70
“I had lower back and hip pain for 12-15 years and tried meds, exercise and therapy. When I started acupuncture treatment, my pain gradually went away. I was amazed! If it were not for my Dad insisting that I try acupuncture, I would never have tried it. He had good results with acupuncture. Fortunately, it worked quite well for me also!” – Bonnie
“I had pain on my left heel (plantar fasciitis). It started since the mid- 1980’s. Prior to acupuncture treatment, I tried ortho inserts, cortisone shots and physical therapy. I came in as a skeptic, really as a last resort, as my pain was severe and my podiatrist had tried everything. I felt improvement immediately, and felt cured after 5 acupuncture visits. Complete remission – I was amazed frankly. I consider it a life-changing medical miracle!” – Marv, 51
