Acupuncture for Bursitis: Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa

I started seeing Monica toward the end of my infertility journey. I had been on clomid for a long while and wasn't getting great results. We started doing IUIs and I wanted to do everything I could to insure the best result. My trips to see Monica were the highlight of my day. I had never had acupuncture before. It was amazingly calming. I was so tied up in knots from everything we had been through trying to have a baby and the acupuncture really helped me to take some time to relax and clear my mind.

Shortly after I started seeing Monica we decided to move forward with IVF (in-vitro fertilization). It had been a long road and we discovered I had more issues beside ovulatory issues and that our best shot was IVF. At the beginning of our journey I said I wouldn't go that route, but when faced with that as our best option we went for it. I consulted Monica about our new plan and she worked up a plan to help with stimulation and preparation for transfer. I had an amazing result. Not only did the treatments help me to stay calm (which I think was immensely helpful), but I had fabulous response to the drugs. They harvested plenty of eggs and we got good embryos as a result. I now have 3.5 year old twins and definitely credit Monica's help in that success. 

After a painful fall a few years ago, I acquired back issues. On top of that, I tried for a few years to conceive. I’ve tried many different things to help with both issues to no avail. I knew I needed a change and so I expanded my research and found Monica. Whenever I meet with Monica, she always spends time to discuss how I am and, more importantly, how she will be treating me and why. Monica’s attentiveness, along with the confidence I’ve gained from her knowledge and skills, has allowed me to relax and my treatments to become effective. Thanks Monica! I'm happy to say that after a month and a half of treatment, I found out I’m pregnant and feel blessed with the path that has lead me to this place. I cannot wait to meet my baby soon!

Monica’s knowledge and application of acupuncture and oriental medicine are absolutely incredible. Her many years of experience and care for her patients shows in her approach, TCM diagnostic, and treatments. She listened to my concerns from our very first exchange, in an accepting and thorough manner, and made sure to explain her understanding of my complaints and treatment plan in a simple and complete way. Her approach is concise, precise and effective. I felt tremendous relief after my very first treatment, and with the help of her recommended herbal formula, felt a complete relief from my complaints that had been getting worse for many months, within 2 weeks. After working consistently with Monica, I am now free of my symptoms and on my way to living in a strong and healthy body. I continue to work with Monica to make sure my body stays balanced, and will keep recommending her to everyone in need of an incredible acupuncturist! Monica is a true gem, and I am blessed to have found her, thank you!

Three years ago my husband and I decided to try and have a baby. I had never been pregnant before and I was very close to turning 30 so I had no idea how long it might take. I was already seeing Monica for other issues so I figured I might as well boost up my fertility while I was at it. Three months later I came home with the news that we were going to have a little baby of our own. Everything went really smoothly throughout my pregnancy until the very end.

Ten days before my due date I found out that my baby was Frank Breech. I was panicked, this was a total shock to us. I called Monica as soon as I left the doctor's office which at the time was very close to closing on a Friday night. Monica explained that because of how far along I was that the chances of turning the baby in time were low but she still saw me and she even did it on her own time. She went way beyond the call of duty to help me out. Unfortunately I went into labor the next day before we could get the baby moved. I had to have a c-section after all but I will never forget what she did for me and how caring she was. She did a great job and now I have a wonderful healthy three year old daughter.
Thank you Monica!

I recently had a ganglion cyst near my wrist and went to see Monica for treatment. As a percussionist, I count on the health of my hands, wrists, and arms to be able to play so it was really important to me. Monica was very professional and reassured me that acupuncture could help me. Two treatments later, the cyst was gone and has not returned! I would recommend Monica without hesitation and have continued to see her for general health and wellness.

After finishing 13 years of taking the pill, my menstrual cycle never returned. Fertility drugs triggered ovulation fairly easily to get pregnant with our first baby, but 3 years later still with anovulation and trying to have a second child, I had no response to several rounds of fertility drugs. The next step for me was hormone injections and IUI, which was more invasive than I wanted. My naturopath had recommended I try acupuncture with Monica, so I took a break from the fertility clinic to try that route instead. That was such a great decision!

Even after sharing my long history with anovulation, fertility drugs and uterine surgeries, Monica showed such optimism and confidence that she could get my menstrual cycle to return in a short amount of time. She thoroughly explained the reasoning behind her assessments and treatment methods, and answered all of my questions so I fully understood how we would work to restore balance to my hormone levels.

Monica's confidence and enthusiasm are contagious, and she made me feel very comfortable trying acupuncture for the first time. My menstrual cycles started occurring naturally for the first time in 17 years, and I was so thrilled to conceive shortly thereafter without fertility drugs! We recently gave birth to our second beautiful, healthy baby girl!

I repeatedly recommend Monica to all of my friends and family, for whatever health concerns they may have.

I found out I was pregnant February 2007. My husband and I were thrilled. Sadly I lost that pregnancy at 15 weeks. We were devastated. After a few months I fell pregnant again but sadly it was an ectopic pregnancy and we had to terminate it. We then tried for about a year without success. Finally 13 months after my last loss I realized I was expecting once again but again I suffered another miscarriage. About this time I learned from a friend with fertility issues that she was able to conceive and carry a full term pregnancy after undergoing acupuncture treatment. So even before I got pregnant for a 4th time I went to see Monica. I am really glad I did. I fell pregnant a lot quicker after I started acupuncture and I had weekly treatments throughout the first trimester. I believe it made all the difference for me. I experienced an uneventful pregnancy for the first time and my son Nicholas was born January 2010!

I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy (partial facial paralysis) on a Friday – and went to Monica that day. I received a total of 4 treatments over the course of the next week. By day 7, I was seeing some initial improvement. By day 12, my Bell's Palsy symptoms were totally gone. In less than 2 weeks Monica was able to cure what doctors said could take up to 6 months to go away! Thank you, Monica!

I have been regular client of Monica Legatt for over 10 years, and have had the most success with her. She has solved or healed issues no other medical procedure or therapy could. For example, she has helped my knees, ears, respiratory system, and other issues.
