Muscle strain in the back accounts for 85% of back pain: it is a soft-tissue injury that causes pain, stiffness and diminished range of motion when any or several of the many muscles of the back are strained. Acupuncture can help your recovery by speeding up the healing process, reducing your pain and restoring your normal flexibility and range of motion.
Acupuncture for hearing loss
I first saw Monica when my ENT sent me for some hearing loss caused by a virus in my ear. I had long since stopped going to acupuncturists because I didn’t like the needles. Monica’s treatments not only improved my hearing, but helped me overcome my aversion to the needles. Monica is a natural healer and is super understanding and gentle with “needle wimps.” She has a special technique for inserting the needles that is way more comfortable. Monica is particularly skilled at explaining Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in terms that people indoctrinated in the Western Medicine approach can readily understand. I’ve also seen her for digestive issues, sleep, bladder infections, and sports injuries. She has been helping me for years, and I would strongly recommend her.
