Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon, a thick cord that attaches bone to muscle. Tendonitis in the knee is most often caused by repetitive motion or by an injury. Symptoms include pain at the site of the tendon and surrounding area of the knee. Pain may gradually build up or be sudden and severe. Acupuncture is excellent as a treatment for knee tendonitis because of its anti-inflammatory and pain reducing effects on the inflamed tendon(s). Acupuncture treatments over time can restore the tendon to normal functioning pain-free.
Acupuncture for PMS, Irregular Hormones, Knee Pain/ACL
My good friend recommended Monica to treat my increased PMS symptoms-- extreme irritability, emotional swings, etc. Since my physician frustratingly advised more hormones to treat my hormonal fluctuations, I decided to meet with Monica to learn more about acupuncture. At my first appointment, Monica patiently and kindly listened to all of my questions and hesitations, including the often-asked: Will it hurt? It didn’t -- and I’ve continued to seek treatment from Monica for months now, with a personalized schedule based on my cycles. My PMS mood swings have stabilized and have greatly reduced, barely registering each month since I’ve begun treatment. Additionally, Monica has been treating my torn ACL as well, and I’m now able to run and participate in activities that were unthinkable prior to my acupuncture treatments. Each time I see Monica, she makes me feel like I am her most important client I and can’t recommend her thoughtful and personalized approach more.
