Injuries and Pain Conditions – Patient Stories
Meniere’s Disease
I would certainly recommend acupuncture from Julia at Elements of Health. My treatments started at a time when I felt that Meniere’s Disease had taken over my life and I can now say that I have a totally different perspective. Julia is a very warm and caring practitioner who has helped so much in controlling the symptoms of my disease, especially vertigo. I always finish an appointment feeling relaxed and that I am an important part of the treatment plan. The treatments do not cause discomfort and are actually very relaxing. Thanks, Julia, for giving me back control in my life. ~CA
Chronic Pain
The best thing that I’ve ever done for myself is walk through the threshold of Elements of Health. I’ve had chronic back pain from bulging discs for over 2 decades and after having a series of acupuncture treatments, the pain has been reduced to a manageable level. I look forward to an ongoing regime that will keep the pain in check. I have my life back! Stephanie at Elements of Health was recommended to me by a specialist and also by a physiotherapist. Everyone at Elements of Health is extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I would recommend them highly. ~CB
Chronic upper & mid-back pain
I have been suffering with chronic, myofascial pain in my upper, mid back for fifteen years. I have tried everything from chiropractors, massage therapists, IMS treatments, physiotherapy, etc. I have also been taking numerous prescription drugs and botox injections and even during this time, my husband has had to take me to the hospital on numerous occasions due to the severity of muscle spasms…
Car accident
Three months ago I was rear-ended in a car accident and I suffered some soft tissue damage to my neck and back. I tried different forms of treatment for my injury but found I obtained the best results from acupuncture. After only 5 treatments I knew that this form of therapy was healing me the quickest. I am extremely confident that I am doing so well today because of acupuncture. I recommend Stephanie Curran to anyone wanting to try acupuncture – I’m so glad I did! ~ JM
Chronic back pain
I have been dealing with a chronic back injury for a few years now. I have tried several types of treatments such as, chiropractic, massage therapy, physiotherapy and of course Acupuncture. Acupuncture has given me the best results for pain relief and it has also played a major role on the emotional side of the fence for me. If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, I would recommend acupuncture 100%…
Low back/disk pain
A year ago I came to Elements of Health at the recommendation of my physician. A bulging disc in my lower back was getting progressively worse; I’d tried physical therapy, chiropractors, myofascial release, yoga — nothing gave me lasting relief. And, at age 50, I had decided to go back to school. Sitting for long hours aggravated my back worse than ever. I am convinced I wouldn’t have been able to complete my studies without Elements of Health…
Knee pain and arthritis
I first came to the Elements of Health Centre in the hopes that acupuncture would be helpful in mitigating the pain of knee injuries and resultant arthritis. After only a few treatments, I found that my pain levels had decreased dramatically, and I was becoming more flexible as the pain in my knees decreased. Now, after two months of treatment, I find that I am able to train harder, exercise longer, and generally am more confident in the health of my knees. Acupuncture has made a huge difference in the health of my knees. ~ IW
