Acupuncture for Shin Splints

I started working with Monica during the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy after learning my baby was breech. The midwife at my doctor’s office suggested acupuncture to turn her as others have had success. They gave me a two week deadline to get her turned before they would manually try to turn her. Working with Monica was amazing. She answered all of my questions and concerns, adjusted treatments as-needed and provided much needed herbal supplements for my anemia and exhaustion. Within the two weeks the baby turned, my energy levels increased and my anemia was improving. By the time I delivered my anemia was completely under control and I felt great. I highly recommend Monica for anything pregnancy related, exhaustion and stress! She definitely helped me turn things around.

When I have been in the early stages of a cold, Monica has treated me and collapsed the cold to be short and mild. It is a great relief to know the misery of a cold, that used to seem inevitable, can -- with Monica's special acupuncture treatments -- be derailed and I can get back to an active life.

I suffered a rotator cuff impingement, and physical therapy wasn't helping -- in
fact, it seemed to make it worse. I decided to try acupuncture, and the results were
really surprising. After 3 treatments, I recovered movement in my shoulder, and the
pain greatly decreased. Six treatments later, my shoulder feels fantastic, and it functions
normally again. It's been a great way to heal and recover.

After experiencing post uterine ablation syndrome for several months, I sought out acupuncture treatment in hopes of relieving the painful episodes that were occurring on a monthly basis. I have been receiving regular acupuncture for six months now and I am experiencing significant decreased pain. Given the promising results, I plan to continue acupuncture in hopes of reducing my pain further!.

I've suffered from chronic neck pain for many years. Since all my previous treatments didn't seem to help, I decided to try acupuncture. After a few treatments with Monica, I began to feel better. I continued to see her for several months. My neck pain has diminished; I have more energy and a more positive outlook toward my health and well being. I not only like Monica's holistic approach, but her gentle and caring nature with a keen ear for listening. I was extremely afraid of needles and now I look forward to my treatments! Thanks Monica!

Monica saved me!! I really mean it! I broke out in hives all over my body--literally from head to toe. I've never had hives before, so I assumed they would just go away after a few days. Well, after 10 days of unbearable itching (even while taking benedryl), I went to the Doctor. He didn't have any remedy and said to wait 2 more weeks to see if they'd go away. I thought I would go crazy from the itching! That's when I called Monica.

She got me in the next day and did a treatment for the hives. In LESS THAN 24 hours the itching/redness decreased by 80%! Seriously! It was a miracle. She also had me take some herbs, which helped a ton. 3 days after the initial treatment the hives were gone!! I had a few follow-up treatments and continued with the herbs as directed. NO MORE HIVES! I've always had positive experiences with Acupuncture; this experience was the most profound. Monica is excellent at what she does. She is very thorough and explains the treatment in simple terms. Monica listens and answers all questions. She is compassionate and has a high level of integrity! I felt comfortable right away. The office atmosphere is peaceful, friendly and professional. Do yourself a favor and go see Monica!!

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!

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!

I owe my new life to Monica. I went to see her about a year ago to help with anxiety and stress. She changed my life. I no longer take pills that make me feel like a zombie or eat away at my stomach.

Monica is extremely knowledgeable, and I notice results each time I see her. I was very interested in understanding more about Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and the points that she was focusing on for me. She recommended books and websites, and has taught me so much during each treatment. Monica also recommends herbs to help my treatment as well as teas and certain foods. She is truly all about understanding and treating your entire self - not just one issue.

The treatment rooms are so calming and always filled with soft meditating music. Its easy to relax, even when you have needles all over your body. I welcome my appointments every week, as I always feel so renewed and refreshed each time.
