My husband and I are in our 60’s and had never tried acupuncture before, though our regular physicians are very supportive of alternative methods of treating different conditions.  The bottom line to my story is that I am glad we both tried it and I feel it was a successful experiment.

I have suffered 2 strokes and have had some neck pain and stiffness for the 10 years since my last stroke.  Dr. Martina listened to me when I said I would like to stop taking some of my prescription drugs.  I know there are negatives for taking so many drugs long term.  Dr. Martina suggested 7 sessions of acupuncture along with massage and some of the Elemis topical products.  I can honestly say I’ve noticed considerably less dizziness and less arthritic pain.  During this sailing I injured my knee somehow and Dr. Martina immediately and aggressively began to treat this also. 

We are convinced acupuncture is a help to us and will continue treatment at home.  

If you try acupuncture, you must realize it is a process and not always an instant cure.
