Is Acupuncture For Me?
What Would Make Your Life Feel Better?
“I use acupuncture to work with patients to improve quality of life. This means different things to different people. I’ve had patients for whom an improved quality of life meant that they could go outside and sit in the sun for an hour without being tired.
“I’ve had other patients for whom an improved quality of life means being able to finish the Iron Man in the top 10%”
“It’s not my place to decide what you need. I’m there to use my understanding of acupuncture to help you get where you want to be.”
What Would Make Your Quality of Life Better?
“I worked with a woman who have had surgery scheduled for low back pain. She decided to try a short course of acupuncture before visiting their surgeon. A month later she talked to her surgeon and were told there was no need for surgery.
Are You Tired of the Amount of Pain You Are In?
“One particularly satisifying client was a woman who had had fibromyalgia for years. She loved to ski and so do I. Unfortunately her illness had kept her from skiing. She just didn’t have the energy and she hurt. Cold weather was also a problem for her. I continue to see her for regular maintenance acupuncture. This year I got to hear about her ski vacation in Sun Valley. She skied two half days and didn’t have a post activity “crash.” This was one ski trip that was more exciting for me to hear about than it would have been for me to go myself!
Do You Want to Get Out and Do the Things You Love? Are You Tired of Being Defined by Your Illness?
“I love working with people to improve their health. If people are feeling like they’re stuck or if they feel like others have given up on them, then I’m the acupuncturist to see. I know acupuncture works. I also realize acupuncture isn’t for everyone. I’m realistic. I’m not going to promise you an instant cure, but I can promise to help you work towards the best quality of life you can acheive.”
