Anxious Acupuncture Patient with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Survives Initial Treatment.

Dear Alan:

Thank you for recommending and encouraging me to explore

acupuncture for my flagging wrists and fingers.

I had my first appointment yesterday, and for someone who

has an innate fear of sharp pointed objects I felt very good

about it.

Even though I was wound tighter than a drum, there was no

“pain” or “discomfort,” and it really relaxed me. If nothing else,

I had the best night’s sleep in months.

The thing I liked was that there were no “promises” or hype,

and she addressed my concerns very nicely. She emphasized

that it was not simply “masking,” but actually curing, which was

a major concern.

I really feel there was a difference yesterday, if only in flexibility

or mobility, plus the warmth. I’ll be returning next week.

Would that I have been treated as nicely at a “traditional” doctor’s office!

I really feel hopeful, and thank you for your concern and support.
