I had back pain for seven years. I rarely went more than a week without some level of discomfort. I had a flare up and was in severe pain for two days. I couldn’t straighten my back and I shook all over. Not knowing what to expect, I was a little nervous about acupuncture at first, but Dr. Jin explained all the procedures step by step before hand and told me to just relax. Considering my discomfort, he made me as comfortable as possible. During the treatment, the needles were no worse than pulling a hair on your arm. I was able to relax to the point of falling asleep, which was significant since I had not been able to sleep for two days. Dr. Jin woke me very gently. When I awoke, I felt no pain and was afraid to move for fear that it would all come back. As I carefully got off the table and stood, I realized that I was standing straight and in no pain at all. I had a total of three treatments and I have been pain free since that day. For me, acupuncture is a miracle! Finally, after years of some level of discomfort almost every day, I am pain free and a happier person all the way. ~ K. L.
