Acupuncture and Radiation Aftermath

There are many reasons for an individual to opt for acupuncture as a healing modality.
One of my specialties that I’ve completed advanced training in is Neuro-Acupuncture, which aims to address issues associated with the nervous system. I’ve worked with clients to provide relief from symptoms related to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ADD, PTSD, and stroke recovery, to name just some.

I’d like to share an experience from a client I recently worked with. 
My client was a 62-year-old female who had a tumor removed from the frontal lobe of her brain and underwent radiation treatment for six weeks. Upon experiencing negative side effects from the radiation treatments, she discontinued the recommended therapy by her physician. Symptoms she experienced included headaches, dizziness, black and white spottiness in her vision, loss of hearing, “foggy brain”, loss of balance, and falls.

She decided to give acupuncture and homeopathic remedies a try, and to her surprise, began noticing positive changes as early as the first visit. She started having acupuncture weekly, and each time she would tell me about the additional positive changes taking place. Each week she showed improvement.

My client expressed her feelings of gratitude that the acupuncture was giving great results and improving her quality of life. Major headaches had diminished by over 60%, her vision was clearer, her balance was much improved, and her clarity of thinking was progressing weekly. She has continued to do acupuncture treatments every two weeks and continues to progress!
