Acupuncture Testimonials
After having tried just about everything to alleviate my back pain after my car accident. I was introduced to acupuncture at Envive. I noticed the effects immediately. My muscles became totally relaxed, thus taking the stress off of my low back and making my life so much easier with the day to day tasks we must do. I strongly recommend trying acupuncture at least once to see if it works for you. ~Darren Larson
I have suffered from migraines for 13 years. They had become increasing worse to the point of being unbearable. I had more than doubled my prescription medication to relieve the pain and be able to continue working every day. After having a three-day migraine that resulted in severe nausea, I decided that I had to find an alternative.
A friend had told me about acupuncture and referred me to Dr. Sara. My friend described symptoms that were similar to mine and said she had been-migraine free for over two years.
I made an appointment with Dr. Sara. After my exam, she put me on a plan that lasted about 8 weeks and involved adjustments and acupuncture. I only had one migraine toward the beginning of my plan and it was minimal compared to past ones. Since then I have been completely migraine-free and have not taken a single dose of my prescription medicine. I will continue with my maintenance plan and plan on staying migraine-free. Thanks to Dr. Sara for the relief. ~Amy P.
I enjoy long distance walking and have completed several half-marathon events. After completing my latest one, my knee "locked-up" on me. Every time I stood up from a chair, I had to work to straighten my leg. I tried rest, stretching and ice to get it to function normally with no effect. I have had good results with acupuncture when I sprained my knee several years ago so I thought I would try it again.
I contacted Dr. Sara to see if she could help me. After an evaluation, she determined a course of acupuncture treatment for my knee. Now I don’t fully understand how acupuncture works, but when Dr. Sara inserts the needles for treatment, I can feel an energy flowing between them. I also don’t understand how she knows where to insert the needles to get the most positive results. Sure, the needles do sting a bit when she puts them in, but the energy flow starts immediately.
There were several days that my knee was stiff, sore and bothering me. I would limp in to see Dr. Sara and after treatment, I was able to walk out without a limp. After the suggested number of treatments I am able to walk normally again and am building my mileage back up.
