I work in the service industry, and for the past 6+ years I have endured constant shoulder/neck pain on my right side(the side I carry trays with). I costantly have had to adjust my neck/shoulder for temporary relief(which is embarrassing, and a futile effort to boot), and I have suffered debilitating headaches brought on by the muscles tightening up from the back of my neck. I met Erica through a mutual friend, and she told me about her sliding scale for industry folks, so I thought I’d give it a try. What’d I have to lose, right? I have tried EVERYTHING to address my chronic pain, including massage, chiropractor, gyrotonics, heat therapy, stretching and exercise. Only exercise has had some degree of symptom amelioration, but if I don’t maintain a daily workout schedule the pain comes back as bad as ever. So I was skeptical, but desperate. Erica studied my symptoms and came up with a therapy approach just for me. I am pleased to say that, after a few visits with her, I believe I have found a way to stay pain free! I will continue to visit her every few weeks to prevent flare-ups. But the difference between my life now and just a couple months ago is like night and day! Through a combination of straight acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and cupping, my knotted, painful mass of muscle running from my shoulder up my neck is finally learning to retract and relax after years of constant pain. Life without constant pain is a new and wonderful thing! Thanks Erica! She accepts insurance now, too.
