'For several months, I suffered from chronic neck and arm pain associated with cervical spine osteoarthritis.  Conventional medicine (pain killers, antiinflamatories, muscle relaxants) had little or no effect; massage and chiropractic adjustments helped a little, but didn’t fix it.  My arm ached constantly, my fingers were going numb, and I was having difficulty working on the computer (a problem, as much of my work is computer based). 

 

Emily treated me with acupuncture, and provided me with more pain relief than I had managed in months.  The first treatment far exceeded my expectations, reducing pain by probably 80%.  Subsequent treatments have resolved the pain completely. 

 

I continue with acupuncture, as it has also proved very effective at reducing stress:  I sleep far better after a session, and am far more able to cope with stress both at work and at home.  I’m sure that acupuncture has its limitations, as do all therapies, but highly recommend it as another tool to increase well being and resolve pain.'
