I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in my lower back in 2006. I saw a Neurologist who said I needed to see a Neurosurgeon. I was in extreme pain every day and could not bend down to wash my feet or put on socks. I had to cancel a few trips and even a Broadway show as I could not sit for any length of time. The Neurosurgeon sent me for several months of physical therapy. During this time, I was on pain medication and going to physical therapy several times a week. After about 6 months, I was better but definitely not 100%. I went back to the surgeon and he said we could do surgery but since I was not in extreme pain, I should really give thought to surgery. I did not know what to do as my pain was still there. A friend from work recommended Acupuncture with Dr. Lisa Singley. I figured it was better than surgery and worth the try. After just one visit, I noticed the next day that I was washing my feet in the shower! I was amazed. The needles are barely felt, if at all. Dr. Lisa is very comforting and listens to the patient and gets to know your whole health story as she is a Naturopathic Physician. I started going several times a week and now just go once every 4 weeks. The difference in how I feel and how I can live my life is amazing. I have sent approximately 7 other people to Dr. Lisa for acupuncture and not one has been disappointed. They all had back pain and are as amazed as I am with the results. Dr. Lisa saved me from surgery and extreme pain!
