TESTIMONIAL
" In 1987 I injured my lower back on the job by lifting a huge box of paper. After seven months of agony, I consented to laminectomy and spinal fusion surgery of L4, L5, and S1. The major problem was corrected, but the pain remained. I tried everything, nothing worked. I was placed in a body cast and walked with a cane. The doctors told me that was as good as it was ever going to be. I became addicted to pain medication. I prayed to God for an answer. I was only 32 years old and could not imagine living the rest of my life like that.
I met Dr. He through a Health Fair at my church. She used me as her demonstration model because I had a terrible headache that day. When I got up from the session, my headache was gone and I knew I had found my answer.
By the end of 14 treatments, I was out of the body cast, didn't need my cane to walk, and my pain was manageable without the constant use of drugs.
In 1994 I was in an elevator that fell five floors. I reinjured my lower back and crushed C5 and C6 vertebrae in my neck. I had to endure more surgery to repair the damage. Once again, acupuncture came to my rescue in the area of pain management.
I have a 19% permanent disability rating, but thanks to acupuncture, I am a productive citizen. Am I completely pain free? No. As I age, I discover new aches and pains that are related to the accidents. However, I know that whenever I begin to feel myself getting out of balance, I can run into the office for some acupuncture treatments and feel much better."
