Acupuncture–
what can I say? Well I guess I can begin with saying that up until about
a year ago I would have never considered the possibility of a needle
being stuck into my body to relieve any type of pain. Today I am here
to tell you that without acupuncture and meeting Dr. Morgan I would
probably still be in pain and limping like a pirate. Approximately
one year ago I had a freak type of accident where my left knee was
swollen and in excruciating pain. After three months of going to my
general practice physician and then being referred to an orthopedic
surgeon the pain was increasing with no known cause. They were
treating me like my pain was imaginary. Trust me the pain was real. One
day while limping around at work a colleague asked if I had considered
acupuncture. I laughed and said no way. Later in the day, still
limping around at work, another colleague said “you should go and see
an acupuncturist and see if they can help you”. Now two separate
conversations in one day about acupuncture did raise my curiosity
although I still was not in the mindset to consider the whole needle
thing. I can honestly say I am a true coward when it comes to
needles. The truth is they are not what we consider traditional
needles. They are small hair like implements that you can barely feel
when inserted into your skin. Well
to make a long story short after several sleepless nights I woke up one
morning went through the internet searching for an acupuncturist
and saw Dr. Morgan's name. Until today I don’t know what possessed
me to select him but I did. On my first visit he did a consultation to
try to figure out what was causing the problem and believed that it was
just one of those freak accidents where I hit a nerve in a vulnerable
point in my knee that set off the nightmare of pain I suffered. After
3 months of treatments I was walking and experiencing little to no
pain. No drugs required. Dr. Morgan was patient and unlike traditional
medicine was not willing to give up on my problem. Here I am today
true believer in acupuncture. If
any of you experience pain and all traditional medical practitioners
want to do is give you medication to trick you into thinking you’re not
in pain – consider acupuncture. Trust me it works -Martin S.
