I became interested in Acupuncture as a profession when my youngest child was diagnosed with Nystagmus, which is an involuntary pendular movement of the eyes. The doctors said there was nothing that could be done to help. After my research, I found an article in the British Journal of Ophthalmology* which cited a study of Acupuncture and its effect on Nystagmus. The study demonstrated Acupuncture’s effectiveness at reducing the movement of the eyes. My son started getting Acupuncture treatment when he was just twelve weeks old. He would fall asleep immediately when the needles went in. After just a few treatments his eye movement slowed down considerably, and now it is hardly noticeable. Years later I brought my oldest child for treatment for ADHD and he was able to stop taking his medication. These experiences changed the way I thought about medicine forever. Through my experiences as both a patient and as a practitioner, I have experienced the tremendous results of Acupuncture treatment. I invite you to call me today to learn how you may benefit from Acupuncture.
