"Being a long-time paraplegic, I have neuropathies, bladder and muscle spasms and this has been the best treatment I've found to alleviate my pain.  I'd rather get relief from acupuncture than medication.  I have been seeing Marina for over a year and she always helps me get so relaxed and fall asleep during and after treatment.  My body knows when I need acupuncture and I always look forward to my acupuncture treatment days.  I have told all my Doctors, friends and family how wonderful acupuncture is." ~ Barbara A.
