So as I'm getting older, my joints aren't functioning the same as before. One odd motion and wham!…read moreKnee pain :(
Granted, years of wearing high heels, plus I am going to blame driving stick shift, well...my left knee decided to call time out. The knee pain was so bad that it affected my ability to exercise and some days, my left knee refused to bend. Tired of taking ibuprofen, I asked a friend about acupunture and I was referred to Mindy Ming Huang in Sandy.
Yes, I am afraid of needles. Yes, I was told more than once to go see a doctor for my knee pain. But I am so glad that I was able to schedule an appointment for acupuncture, and it worked in ONE session!
Currently it appears that Mindy works in a residential neighborhood but not to worry, she has her license and all credentials hanging on her wall. She took all my vitals and spent time to triage, then it was needle time LOL
There's a clean patient table to lie on and everything is sterile. I knew to dress comfortably because Mindy would be working on my knee. There were also a few needles carefully placed in my left foot. Once the tiny needles were in place, Mindy used a safe heating lamp to keep my skin warm and it probably helps with the energy flow.
This acupuncture session was more than comfortable. So comfortable that I fell asleep. I was probably napping for a good 20 to 30 minutes. Then I heard Mindy's voice and she came back to the patient table to turn off the heating lamps and remove all the needles. No blood and no bruises :)
At the end of my first session, I had zero knee pain and full mobility of my left knee. Not only that, I felt extremely relaxed. Mindy gave me a bottle of water and a few minutes to get my bearings as she accepted my credit card payment and provided me with a receipt.
Trust me, it's no fun living in pain or lack of mobility. In one miracle acupunture session back in February, Mindy relieved my knee pain.
The following month, I had a short trip and after the flight, I started to get an ear ache. Went to a doctor and was prescribed antibiotics for an ear infection. Well after the dosage was finished, I was having vertigo, headaches, inner ear pain, and some mild jaw pain. Without hesitation, I called Mindy and asked if acupuncture would help me relieve all of this.
As luck should have it, she said yes, and had an appointment time the very next day. I arrived to my appointment and told her what transpired with my ear ache. Within minutes, I was back on her patient table, she carefully placed all the needles where they needed to be, and again, I fell asleep under her cozy heating lamps.
By the end of this ONE acupuncture session for my ear, I no longer had the issues that were there before my appointment. I felt like a million bucks!
Thank you Mindy! You removed my fear of needles, and you relieved both my knee and my ear pain. After the acupuncture sessions, I feel great! I am a firm believer that acupuncture WORKS!!
