I have used many forms of alternative and western medicine for two chronic conditions: migraines and IBS. I have never found any treatment to be as effective as immediately as acupuncture and herb supplementation. I experienced a major shift in my body composition and mental calm. I was able to go off anxiety medication, stop taking pain medication for severe headaches and discontinue the use of a multitude of supplements and special foods aiding in my unexplained digestive issues. My headaches are much less frequent and less severe, and so far acupuncture is the only treatment that can actually stop my migraine as it starts to come on. I am a licensed massage therapist and believe strongly in the benefits of massage as prevention and therapy as well, but for me when I am in crisis mode - acupuncture works! I find that when I do not use acupuncture the frequency and severity of these conditions tends to increase, however what I love the most is that within a few sessions I feel the balance return and I am able to maintain this "healing" for quite some time. I am not stuck taking a pill everyday or restricting my lifestyle, I can use it when I feel I need it and then take time away.
