Acupuncture Helps Neck Pain of a Computer User

Here's a testimonial a recent patient wrote about her experience with Acupuncture and how it dramatically helped her recovery from pain. Surgery was mentioned and she called me right away to see what I could do to help her. I'm REALLY glad she came in for treatment:

'I am an IT professional and that means that I am at a computer at least 8 hours a day at work and at home another couple of hours. Ironically my previous employer (a health care company) did not provide proper ergonomic support.  

This past summer after working on a home improvement project with a friend - I was in a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder area.  I tried chiropractic and deep tissue massage and had some improvement in managing my pain.

However, by August - I was in so much pain that I went to urgent care and was prescribed pain medication and muscle relaxers. In October my doctor sent me to get x-rays, sent me to physical therapy and continued the pain meds and muscle relaxants.

In November, my doctor told me that there was some thinning in my spine and if I didn't receive some benefit from the physical therapy - she would send me to get an MRI and possibly surgery!

The mention of surgery freaked me out!  I sought help from Kara.

With just one treatment, I could feel my tight muscles unravel. It's as if my muscles were a tight ball of yarn and someone gently let the yarn roll away.

I've only had three treatments but I have had signifcant relief with acupuncture treatments with Kara.  Years ago I went to an acupuncturist in Walnut Creek - I had very little response with that practitioner.  The short time I've been working with Kara makes me wonder - what took me so long to seek help from Kara?

I would recommend Kara to anyone needing pain management or relief from other physical stresses.'
