Rachel’s Personal Challenge and Victory

In 2001, a surgery on my shoulder left me in more pain than before the procedure. After six months of physical therapy and a second surgery, I was still in pain. Desperate for relief, I turned to a holistic health practitioner who recommended acupuncture. I had never heard of acupuncture but I was willing to try ANYTHING.

During my first treatment, I almost cried thinking that I had to try something “radical” like have needles inserted into my skin. I was hoping that this would work because nothing else was effective. I also recall feeling very peaceful and relaxed despite my anxiety about the needles.

When the treatment was over, my pain had greatly dissipated. My cynicism immediately made me think that I should not get TOO excited, expecting the pain to be back. The following day I woke up very energetic and feeling great. My shoulder pain was non-existent. I could not believe the results. I felt better than I had felt in a VERY long time. More importantly, I was hopeful that with acupuncture I had found the relief that I had been looking for.

My healing began with one treatment. The thoughts that I had on the table “this is where life had brought me” meant more than I imagined at the time. I decided that since I had been blessed with this healing modality, I wanted to help others feel the same.

Since 2006, I have helped hundreds of patients from all walks of life. This has provided me with a deep insight and understanding of the problems my patients face in their professional and personal lives and how it manifests in their bodies. Whether it is depression, death of a close family member, emotional distress due to separation, addiction, hypersensitivity, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, loss of a job, or any other issue, I have helped many patients through it.

On behalf of our entire team at Bergen County Acupuncture and Wellness we want you to know that we are deeply committed to helping you feel your best.

Wishing you excellent health,

Rachel
