MONICA'S EARLY EXPERIENCE WITH ACUPUNCTURE:
“Years ago, I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. Both of
my hands were numb, ice-cold, and ached constantly. I was considering a surgical solution for this painful condition, but
I had heard good reports about the use of acupuncture for joint pain, so I decided to try acupuncture first. I received seven
acupuncture and moxa treatments for my wrists. After the seventh treatment, my wrists were pain-free, and the feeling in my
hands had returned to normal. Over a decade has passed since that episode, and the carpal tunnel syndrome never returned.”
