ACUPUNCTURE TESTIMONIALS
These are a few examples of common problems
treated with acupuncture.
Knee, Hip and Back Pain
Having had knee surgery in August of ’05, the pain was still
moderate to severe after 7 months. After the first visit, improvement
was immediate and has improved every visit since. At this point any
pain I have is mild and does not last. Carole puts you at ease and
you know you are in good hands.
RICHARD
Anxiety and Depression
My panic disorder and depression was being treated with the
combination of both traditional and alternative medicine.
When acupuncture was added to my regimen, healing time seemed
much quicker this time around. I’ve enjoyed my treatments at LIVING LONGER.
Carole brings her passion for her skill, warmth and gentleness
to the treatment.
DEBBY
Ulcerative Colitis and General Health
I have been seeing Carole Paine as a traditional Chinese medical
practitioner over the past 5 years. Each visit has marked
an improvement in my physical condition for a variety of
ailments. Carole is a
sensitive, caring individual with a sensible attitude towards
health care. She is sincerely concerned with the health of
her patients and I highly recommend her.
STEVEN
Fibromyalgia
My treatment with Carole Paine was on a Friday morning.
Prior to this I have had approx. $500.00 worth of acupuncture
done over a period of one year, with two different acupuncturists.
I never experienced any change in my condition. I have fibromyalgia.
I
was diagnosed 18 years ago. Over the last two years my condition
has been slowly deteriorating. Constant muscle spasm, back
pain, leg pain (increasing during evening relaxation), and
severe exhaustion
and benign heart palpitations. Ice, heat, TENS unit, pain
medications,
exercise, chiropractic manipulation (3-4x’s/week) and physical
therapy have not been able to ease or control my fibro symptoms.
During these last two years this disease has taken over my
life.
Over the years I would go into what I would refer to as “remissions.” During
these periods I was able to control my pain, most of the time, and live my
life as a wife, mother of 4 children and a painter.
Over the last 8 months, I was shaking with pain and exhaustion by 10:30a.m.,
and by noon I had to “give in” to it and lay down.
I would set the alarm for 2p.m., so that I could leave to pick up my daughter
from school. My painting had stopped completely. All my extra curricular activities
had to be stopped.
So now I go back to that Friday morning and my first acupuncture treatment
with Carole… I left her office feeling no different. By Friday evening
I was doing house cleaning. Saturday was even better, having recovered a great
deal of my energy. I am able to go all day, (shop, clean, cook, paint) and
still be able to spend time with my family and friends.
Tomorrow will be my fourth treatment. I have not been to my chiropractor since
my first treatment. I have had to lie down during the day 4 times, in 4 weeks
rather than every day. My muscle spasm has decreased phenomenally, and is controllable
with ice, stretching and meds.
Every time I see Carole, or tell others about my improvement I start to cry.
I am overwhelmed by my improvement. I have gotten my life back, and truth be
told, I am almost uncomfortable discussing it for fear it will “go away.”
Living with a chronic disease is very difficult for the person involved and
their family. We have our life back. I don’t begin to understand how
or why the acupuncture works, but it does.
I write this, thrilled that I can, and very happily would relate and discuss
my history and results with anyone interested.
NADINE
Neuropathy
After I had surgery to graft an artery in my calf, my foot
remained numb. This was more than just a nuisance, as I kept
tripping over my own foot when going up stairs, even breaking
a toe.
Finally I decided to try acupuncture. A friend recommended
Carole Paine.
I agreed to a series of four sessions. At the end of my first
treatment nothing seemed to have changed, but that evening as I was
getting undressed I felt
the sock sliding off the outer edge of my foot. This was the first tactile
sensation in this foot in the eighteen months since surgery!
I’ve had some additional improvement in subsequent sessions and now have
feeling in the little toe and in the arch of the foot.
This has made a big difference in walking, especially in going up stairs. I
feel that Carole has given me my foot back!
MELANIE
Migraines and Hormone Imbalance
I suffered with menstrual migraines
for approximately 3 years. They occurred every 21 days and
lasted 2 – 3 days prior to the beginning
of my cycle and the first three days of my cycle. I was desperate.
Nothing seemed to work. Medicine only “took the edge off”.
Upon the advice of my sister-in-law, who is a registered nurse,
I went to see Carole Paine. After only 5 visits, I felt like
a new person. Not only did she re-set my cycle, but my migraines
went away.
The experience was unbelievable.
I actually felt like I had a new lease on life….without a doubt,
Carole gave me back my life! For me, the acupuncture experience
was very relaxing. I would tell Carole, this is better than a massage.
I have been migraine free for over two years. I thank Carole
every
month!
Carole is a wonderful care giver. I can’t say enough praise
about my whole experience. Acupuncture definitely worked for
me and I recommend it to all migraine sufferers. I have referred
many friends
to Carole and this includes my daughter, who also had a very
good experience.
