Thank you Angela!

I just wanted to briefly touch base and let you know that I felt much better the day after my treatment! My wrist is much less painful as is my hip. I am very impressed and am looking forward to seeing you for the follow up visit. I don't think I can express how incredible my results are! I was in so much pain before the treatment and I did not expect to feel such relief so quickly. I am in shock at how good the results have been. You really are my savior and you deserve much more praise for your work!

Sciatic/Hip Pain

August 8, 2012

After numerous trips to the chiropractor, MRIs, taking muscle and nerve relaxants, and two epidural injections into my spine, I had no relief from what I was told was "sciatica". 
     It was getting worse, to the point where one morning I was doubled over with pain. I called up Angela and got an appointment same day, in early July 2012. After two treatments, the pain down my leg from the sciatica was gone, a pain I had lived with it for nearly 2 years. 
     I have also fallen numerous times in my lifetime: skiing, biking, and just living, starting at age 2! I had a chronic pain on right hip and knee that I had been living with even longer, to the point where I don't remember ever not having the pain. Angela healed that with another 5 treatments. 
     I am back into my cycling and exercise routine and am now living pain-free...thank you Angela !!

Thumbs Up!

I had been suffering with a painful thumb which was not fully extending.  After months of waiting for my thumb to heal itself I finally went to see Angela.  Within a few hours of my visit I had almost full range motion.  I am practicing some resistance exercises to regain my complete double-jointed movement.  Acupuncture has worked for me every time that I’ve used it..... and Angela is wonderful.  I have recommended her to other’s who have also had excellent results.

Improved flexiblity leads to better golf and tennis

I am a 54 -year-old man who has suffered for years with shoulders problems which severely reduced my flexibility and range of motion.  My right shoulder had a torn front deltoid; the left has had dislocation problems for about thirty years.  On the suggestion of my tennis coach, I tried Angela rather than have an operation on the torn deltoid, which would have meant six weeks in a sling.  The accupunture treatment worked, and and I have regained full use of my right arm and shoulder, and am now able to do exercise like dips which were too painful before the treatment.  Building on that success, she is now concentrating on my left shoulder, which has more ingrained problems but which is making good progress.

As a result, both my tennis and golf games have picked up substantially since last Fall (I started seeing Angela in October 2010) which I attribute to the increased range of motion.  I look forward to continuing the treatments, as nothing makes a person feel older than a decreased range of motion.

Anxiety and Aches

After years of wear and tear from playing sports combined with living the New York stressful lifestyle of “Work, Work, Work”, I decided I needed to start taking care of myself. Having heard from friends and family of how they had benefitted from doing acupuncture to treat everything from anxiety to shoulder/rotator cuff difficulties, I became very interested. Having been an athlete my entire life I was beginning to experience the wear and tear effects on my knees and shoulders. I was also experiencing anxiety related symptoms due to work related stress,  I decided to take the plunge. I contacted Angela via phone. Spoke with her and discussed some of the problems I was experiencing. Angela responded with kindness, concern and with abundant knowledge in Chinese medicine, that same day I scheduled my first appointment. Two days later I knocked on Angela’s door for my first appointment. I was received with warmth and kindness and made to feel right at home. Angela conducted a brief intake of Q&A and I explained more in depth some of the difficulties I was experiencing with my lower back, knee, shoulder pain and range of motion and of course anxiety related symptoms. Soon after, I was laying on the table and we began. Feeling slightly uneasy for not knowing what to expect with the needles, Angela was extremely sensitive to my fear and made for my first acupuncture experience to be calming and relaxing.

Here I am 4 weeks later just finishing my 3^rd treatment and am astonished by the effects for which acupuncture has had on my body. I am definitely a work in progress, but feel a noticeable difference with my range of motion, a lot less pain and discomfort in my shoulders, knees, lower back and my anxiety has subsided considerably. Based on these results I know I have made the right decision in using acupuncture to help with my present symptoms but also with preventative care. I look forward to my next session with Angela and can’t wait to see the ongoing results.

Thanks for all your help Angela!

Skin Health

Between sun exposure, bug bites, allergies and scrapes, with accompanying minimal clothing, summer is a time when it seems the skin needs attention!

Chinese medicine considers the skin to be an integral part of the whole body, reflecting internal issues almost immediately, and protecting the body from external factors. I cannot always help with prevention (eg use your sunscreen!), but I can speed recovery. I have worked on lingering bruises - and the next day after treatment the bruises are almost gone! I have treated post-surgical wounds and seen them heal much faster than they were before acupuncture. I have treated hives - when medications have done little or nothing, acupuncture proved very effective, and immediately! I even have had one teenager come in with eyes swollen from allergies - and during the treatment we literally watch the swelling disappear. I have treated acne cases where the same is true - an immediate lessening of the redness and wetness of the sores.

Because we treat the skin as part of the larger whole, acupuncture is amazing with skin issues. If the underlying reason for the skin problem is addressed, the skin reflects that immediately.
