Foot Pain
In March, I contacted Donna in reference to severe pain in my left foot. My podiatrist had told me that I was suffering from inflammation in my metatarsal. I had been receiving cortisone shots for about two years to relieve the pain, and that just seemed to be more and more ineffective. At this point, I had already gotten a shot, but the pain was so intense, I could barely walk. When I visited Donna, my pain level was at 10+. During the course of the treatment that day, she had gotten down to a 7. I went home, and several hours later, my intense pain was barely noticeable. I immediately e-mailed of the progress because I was so excited! I continued my treatment with Donna for several more weeks, and to this day, I am pain free in my foot.
I have known Donna for several years, and trust all of her healing methods. I have recommended her to many of my colleagues and friends. Being somewhat athletic, I don’t know what I would have done without her help. During my pain, I couldn’t ride my bike or run. Now I’m back to all my normal activities again. I can’t thank her enough for helping me through it!! Thank you Donna!

Rotator Cuff
Donna has been my acupuncture physician and primary care physician since January of 2008. It all started with a rotator cuff injury. I had the classic symptoms: excruciating pain, loss of function and range of motion. Before I could even get in to see an orthopedic, at my FIRST acupuncture treatment, Donna was able to bring my pain down from an 8 to a 2! I vividly remember that moment as I thought to myself, “what else can this stuff do!?” The orthopedics confirmed I didn’t have a tear and offered only cortisone shots which I declined. After a few regular acupuncture treatments and some strengthening suggestions from Donna, in no time (much faster than I anticipated!) I was better than I was before the injury.

Ankle Injury
Dear Donna,
Just wanted to let you know how much your acupuncture treatment helped me with my ankle injury and all of the pain that I was experiencing. Since I received acupuncture my pain level has gone from a seven to no pain. I hope that all is going well. Once again thank you.
Thanks,
David R.
Wellness Regime
Through 2008, walking on my treadmill along with acupuncture treatments, herbal remedies and Donna’s guidance, I experienced significant weight loss. So in 2009, 55 lbs. later, I was excited to become more active and took an interest in running and then eventually triathlon. Just as I began training, I discovered I had a pretty nasty heal spur. I went to an orthopedic specialist and he suggested I could benefit from surgery, or at least cortisone injections. I believe that surgury should be a last resort and not a first choice. So I tried regular acupuncture treatments which alleviated and managed my pain so I could continue running. I was able to wear down the heal spur naturally without having to stop training or delay my goals.
Throughout that year, I encountered many aches and pains as I challenged my once sedentary body to TRI – tight hamstrings, sciatica, lower back pain. ALL of these things were mitigated through acupuncture – no steroids or pain meds.Donna has also treated me for anxiety and migraines and AGAIN, I have experienced outstanding results. Acupuncture is an integral part of my wellness regime. I wouldn’t be as healthy and fit as I am today – training for marathons and iron distance triathlons - if it weren’t for Donna!
