I injured my neck in 2011 and was searching for an affordable acupuncturist, since my insurance plan didn’t cover or include this type of treatment. Annapolis Community Acupuncture was the #1 listing in Google. The practice is owned and operated by Mina who has experience, formal education and training in Eastern and Western medicine. Prior to beginning her practice Mina was a nurse and thoroughly enjoys caring for others and assisting in the healing process. Mina has a quiet and calm bedside manner and in my opinion is perfectly suited to help patients overcome limitations due to injury and or immobility and heal from pain. I had never had acupuncture before and was afraid of needles. Mina put me at ease within moments. The practice is comfortable and welcoming; totally conducive to healing and resting. The initial consult was a few minutes long. If you are a new patient, be sure to complete the necessary forms prior to arriving for your first appointment/treatment. This way you can spend the maximum amount of time being treated, resting and healing. One huge perk: Mina allows you to rest as long as you need to. It surprised me when she said my body would let me know when it was rested. She was right, one’s body will let you know when it’s sufficiently rested. Mina’s treatments are very effective. When I arrived for my first appointment I could not turn my head to the left or move my neck without pain. After seeing an Orthopedic Surgeon who informed me that my only option was to allow him to cut into my neck and spinal cord and allow him to take a look around, I decided I had to find another option. After 1 treatment from Mina I was able to move my neck. The shooting and pinching pain subsided. I chose to continue receiving care and after a couple of months I asked Mina to address issues dealing with stress and help me to relax and sleep better. She treated everything I asked. The results I achieved were consistent and positive. During the winter of 2012 I had a cough which made my neck, back and chest ache. 6 weeks came and went. At my wits end, I mentioned the cough to Mina. She reassured me and asked me to come in and be treated. My concern was that I would disturb the other patients. There was nothing to worry about, Mina placed me in a private room, administered treatment and allowed me to rest. Inwardly I was hoping and praying the treatment would work. ITDID! Mina is very community conscious. She demonstrates her commitment to others by offering specials via the practice’s Facebook page, she hosts special clinic hours for Veterans — especially those living with PTSD. Her payment scale is super affordable; making acupuncture a viable option for patients who wish to pursue a natural treatment regimen. Beyond all of this, Mina’s technique is the best, because of the care and treatment I received from her, I am no longer afraid of needles. Acupuncture is a viable way to treat pain and maintain health and well being. I highly recommend Annapolis Community Acupuncture to anyone curious about the efficacy of acupuncture.
