Five Gates Acupuncture

I have suffered with sciatica for 6 years. It impacted my ability to stand in line at check out, shop, go to museums and take dance lessons. The pain down my leg would be burning and I’d need to find a place to sit down. I tried physical therapy for 3 months, chiropractor, pain shots and nothing provided relief. I did not like to think it but it appeared that this ailment was with me for life. A friend in Mexico told me about another friend who had tried acupuncture for relief. Although a novice on acupuncture, I decided I should try everything before giving up on having a more active life.
After 12 sessions with Donna, my sciatica disappeared. I was cautious thinking it might come back. But a month later and I’m still pain free.
This weekend, I spent virtually all day Saturday standing while preparing food for a dinner party. And still no discomfort down my leg.
Remarkable.
