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 7 acupuncture and moxa treatments for my wrists. After the
7th 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.” - Monica Mathews, LAc
