Acupuncture for Frozen Shoulder/Adhesive Capsulitis

I've found that acupuncture, coupled with herb supplements that Monica recommended, have helped treat and control psoriasis in surprising ways. I had tried various steroid- based traditional treatments from my doctor, and they're pricey and not very effective. Psoriasis isn't something 'curable,' but acupuncture and herb treatment has greatly reduced my skin issues and has been abundantly helpful.

All I have ever heard about knee injuries is how lengthy and painful they are with little to no hope for full recovery. When I hurt my knee, the day after I went to go see Monica for acupuncture and my pain went from a level 9 pain to a 4. It was almost instantaneous. Knowing that she has this ability to help has completely given me confidence in a full recovery. I know with her guidance + acupuncture she is helping me recover without painkillers and other typical Western medicine methods. My only regret is that not everyone knows what acupuncture can do for their injuries and specifically knees.

After months of dealing with doctors, a stomach specialist and multiple tests that showed nothing explaining the cause of my stomach pain I researched acupuncture and found Monica had glowing reviews. She promptly got me in and explained the principles of acupuncture and why it would be effective. I immediately showed signs of improvement and with follow up appointments, herbs and Monica's knowledge of what needed to be eliminated from my diet I am pain free! Thank you so much for your help Monica.

I recently had a baby and struggled with producing enough milk. I went to see Monica in hopes that acupuncture would be the solution to this most stressful situation. After each acupuncture treatment my breasts were immediately filled with milk. With continued treatment my milk supply has vastly increased and I am not struggling with milk production anymore.

You are the best Monica! Thank You for your continued commitment to patient care.-

I came to Monica after suffering two very early miscarriages.  My OB provided no answers or help, so I turned to Monica and found exactly what I needed.  From the first visit, I knew I had found to right person to help me get and STAY pregnant.  She was professional, extremely knowledgeable and very reassuring.  I got pregnant again quickly and as soon as I found out I e-mailed her (on a Sunday) and she replied right away encouraging me to come in for a treatment so that we could maintain the pregnancy.  The treatments helped relieve my anxiety, lessened my morning sickness and, most importantly, kept me pregnant.  I visited Monica again when I was 41 weeks pregnant with no sign of labor on the horizon.  She treated me on Monday, again on Wednesday and I went into labor on Thursday.  I’m currently 5 months post partum and will be visiting Monica again as I’m having difficulty recovering from the 3rd degree perineal tear I experienced during delivery.  I am confident that treatment will aid in my healing and recovery.        

I found acupuncture to be very relaxing; I would often doze.  I appreciated Monica’s straightforward approach.  She recommended what was needed, no more or less.  She is readily available by e-mail and honest about whether or not acupuncture can help with whatever issue you’re facing.  I have referred several friends to Monica and will continue to do so in the future.  

I went to Monica upon the recommendation of a member of my womens' choir. She and I had both struggled with sinus and bronchial conditions which often kept us from participation in our group. Monica's acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs have aided me immensely in thwarting the upper respiratory infections which have plagued me my entire life. I now may rely upon being able to sing in my choir performances regularly.

I have always had irregular periods and was concerned about the possibility of ever getting pregnant when the time came in my life that I wanted to start a family. I asked each new doctor I saw throughout my late teens and 20's and they all shrugged off my concern, didn't give a good answer, and didn't seem to care. This was very upsetting! So when my husband and I decided it was time to try getting pregnant, I knew that Western medicine was going to be the last resort. My husband had previously seen Monica for back pain and I had heard that acupuncture is good for infertility, so we decided to give it a try and I made an appointment to see her. Monica was so caring and took the time to explain what she was doing since this was all so new to me. I really looked forward to my appointments and enjoyed the time to relax. She suggested two kinds of Chinese herbs that I took at different times during my cycles. I was already charting my temperatures and could see a noticable difference after starting the herbs! After 3 months of acupuncture treatments and herbs, my cycles became regular. Four months later, I'm pregnant!!

Hi Monica, About 5 months ago I wrote to you about my eczema. Since then I have been doing acupuncture and adjusting my eating habits as you directed. I'm happy to say that my eczema HAS 100% CLEARED UP! Thank you for all of your suggestions.

Symptoms of fatigue and weakness had set in my body from overwork and embodiment of emotional stress. I experienced profound response to my acupuncture treatments and herbs and my health improved drastically.

Monica's compassion and patience toward my condition and her understanding of Chinese medicine restored my energy (chi) and brought about a greater awareness of creating balance between yin and yang in my life. I continue to incorporate all aspects of Chinese medicine as a preventative measure and continue to reap great rewards in terms of my health, mental attitude and emotional well being.
