I had been having pains in my knees for the past year and had tried doing exercises and taking medicine. I finally decided to give acupuncture a try, and found it full of surprises. First of all, it is relaxing--who would have thought, considering there are needles involved! It wasn't painful at all. Sharon has such a great, calm persona that it actually makes me look forward to doctor's visits! Sharon also surprised me in that through her examination she could point out different problem areas I knew I had, but hadn't mentioned, which made me feel that she was concerned for my overall wellness. And most surprising, is that the acupuncture actually worked (I was skeptical). After just one treatment I was back to running regularly and taking the stairs. I was thrilled to find such a natural remedy for a problem that I thought was doomed to be chronic. Thank you, Sharon, for making me realize there are more solutions than the ones I had considered. Now I am inspired to find out if other ailments that I had consigned to as "part of life," can also be addressed. I'm looking forward to exploring that in my next appointment!
