I started treatment here approximately 3 months ago and have had incredible results. I came for one issue and have had many issues alleviated to a large degree. It truly has been a whole body healing experience. This is after many years of ongoing issues and chronic disease. This will be a long, well-deserved review, but I will try to stick to the pertinent facts.
Briefly, these are the issues I have come to OB Accupuncture with:
Rheumatoid arthritis; bulging discs in neck and back; stenosis in neck and back; carpal tunnel syndrome; fibromyalgia; migraines. There's probably a few other things I'm missing, but you get the idea. Sick and in pain has been my middle name. I am 57 years old and have been on disability for 5 years. I have treated with Orthopedist, chiropractic, pain management, physical therapy, and also saw briefly two different accupuncturists with not much relief. I have been on too many medications to count. I was ready to start looking into surgical intervention to get some relief. I felt like my life had been stolen by chronic disease and pain. My entire body has been affected by this.
I came to this office after suffering for one month of migraines that started weekly and had progressed to almost daily either pre-migraine, full migraine, or post migraine. Pain management, chiropractic and medicine were doing nothing. My migraines went away after the first day of treatment and I have not had one since. I have had some head pain, slight temporary light headache or otherwise symptoms perhaps 5 times in 3 months but
HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER MIGRAINE since starting accupuncture with Dr. Gregg.
Now the even better part happens, if that's the right word. The arthritis in most of my body has decreased significantly. Apparently accupuncture treats inflammation of the whole body, which in turn helps EVERYTHING. Neck and back pain have gone from a constant, daily grueling issue to more of an intermittent concern. Am I pain free? No, not all the time, but having many more pain free days. Has my pain level decreased significantly when I do have pain? Yes. Am I still having flare-ups and issues? Yes, but they are much shorter in duration, I am recovering much faster.
My right thigh has been numb on and off for at least 7 years, and the numbness was becoming constant. That is gone, which is truly unbelievable. I have gotten little "twinges" of numbness here and there, very brief and then it's gone, and not even daily. I used to need 2 to 3 hours in the morning after waking to sit and allow my stiffness and soreness to go away before I could even start to function. I now am good in 15 minutes after waking up. I just stopped my last arthritis medicine, and after a few days of flare-up, have not needed it. I was taking muscle relaxers daily; I have taken 1/2 of one pill maybe once a week, if that.
If you've stuck up to here with this review, I can only say my experience with this practice has been not only positive, but has literally changed my life. I still have the underlying issues, of course, but have gotten tremendous relief from accupuncture and the accompanying therapies that I've received. I feel 10 years younger physically. A true gift.
The office is clean, comfortable, bright and airy. The staff, Vanessa, Tina and Marianna, are sweet, helpful and compassionate. Dr. Gregg is talented, kind, wicked smart and truly concerned for your well-being and overall health of every system in your body. Always willing to listen and explain anything, as many times as you need, until you understand it.
The office does not accept insurance, and honestly, if they did would probably not be able to offer the comprehensive entire body care it does, nor the time it takes to give each person they treat such an individualized and personal level of care. You are given as much time and attention as you need. What a concept, right?
I am on disability, and thus, a very fixed income. The treatment plan was affordable when I broke it down into individual appointments, and I'm assuming when I am done with the first steps the ongoing will be affordable as well. This is not a one and done kind of thing. I'm not there yet, but I assume there is an occasional "maintenance" you will need to keep your health on the right track.
You have to be willing to invest in yourself and make the commitment to come regularly, quite often in the beginning. Its been a lot for me, and thankfully it has given me results I never thought I'd ever get from anywhere. This has been the best use of my time and money I've ever spent - on my health!
Thank you!
