Patient Testimonial
"As a longtime retail manager, my job included extensive data entry. The monotony of the job led to hours of phone conversation during my work. After several years of working with hands forward and neck cocked, I developed unbearable pain under my left scapula. I sought treatment from the western medical world. My pain was seen only as muscular. I was fed muscle relaxants and pain killers for over 4 years. This treatment protocol continued until my long time doctor finally sent me to physical therapy for my shoulder pain. After one visit to the physical therapist, my pain worsened to the point I could not bear to even have a person on my left side for fear they may touch my arm, sending shooting pain through my shoulder area. My doctor assured me that the pain may get worse before it got better so I found a new therapy center located closer to my home. After extensive interview & range of motion testing, the new therapist felt this pain was caused by a bulging disc in my neck & the pain in my shoulder was a result of pressure on the nerve. The new therapy, which consisted of a wide range of extension exercises, eventually helped to alleviate the majority of the pain. With additional stress, the pain would increase back to its original state, and often became worse. When I changed jobs from retail to office manager, the pain continued in my shoulder. I sought treatment for the pain through acupuncture in a Clinical Theatre Class at the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin. I was met with a small class of inquisitive students and a confident instructor (Xiaotian Shen). After extensive intake paperwork and initial questioning; Shen felt the pain was caused by stagnation and that once weakened, the body would attack that area during periods of stress. Because this was my first experience with acupuncture, Shen recommended that he do a light treatment to include some mild needling for 30 minutes or so and local cupping. After about an hour and a half, the treatment was complete. I left feeling relaxed and pain free. For me, acupuncture accomplished in less than 2 hours what western medicine could not properly diagnose yet alone alleviate in 4 plus years of drug therapy. I have not had a significant reoccurrence of this pain in over 5 years & continue to have acupuncture treatments for allergies, and sports injuries I suffer as a professional disc golfer." - L.
