I have moved from cautious optimism to exuberant believer in acupuncture

I came into Christine’s office cautiously optimistic. My right thumb had frozen in a bent position, was swollen and the index finger was becoming involved. I was unable to hold a pen, grasp a pot handle or shift my car out of park. There was pain and inflammation. I had been experiencing inflammation responses for months, but this was a new level of pain/impact on my daily function. I had tried medications and creams with little result. Christine met me with a welcoming demeanor, took a detailed history of the main complaint, additional concerns and lifestyle. She listened to all I had to say about my health and developed a treatment plan with me not just for me. I have moved from cautious optimism to exuberant believer in acupuncture. I can bend and straighten my thumb/finger, can make a fist, the pain is relieved and all with no surgery/medications. It has been a wonderful experience working with Christine and I give her two thumbs up (literally can do that now)!
