Healing the Digestive System and Relieving Sciatic Pain

A holistic approach to healing my body has never been a question in my life. The more research I did, the more treatments I wanted to try. From massage, reflexology, cranial sacral, raindrop therapy, chiro, and of course acupuncture…they all work hand-in-hand. When the medical field failed me, the holistic field ALWAYS came to the rescue.

I started seeing Dr. Katie 4 years ago for several conditions, but the 2 that stand out are digestive issues and sciatic pain.

I have had digestive issues for 32 years and Dr. Katie not only helped relieve the discomfort, she has also been working with me to fond the right diet to help me heal.

Anyone that has suffered from sciatic pain understands what a pain in the butt it is …LITERALLY! Although other treatments help a little, acupuncture is the only treatment I can count on to relieve the pressure and help me live a pain free life.

Thanks so much Dr. Katie

Individualized Care

Dr. Katie is pleasant, knowledgeable, and informative. I like that she asks specific questions to find the exact spot of pain.

Since she enjoys her profession, as a patient I can sense that and in turn puts me at ease. I recommend Dr. Katie to all my friends and family.

Chronic Back Pain

I have chronic back issues. It is amazing how little back pain I have experienced since my first  visit with Dr. Katie. Because of my work, I pay attention to the aches and pains in my body. Much of the work is very heavy and repetitious. The overall health benefit to the areas that have been treated is remarkable. Much of my stomach discomfort has been dealt with as well. It also feels as if my back issues resolve much faster too.

Hemiplegic Migraines

I came to acupuncture as a skeptic but willing to try anything as my hemiplegic migraines were leaving me debilitated and suffering. Dr. Katie was amazing from the very first session where she managed to restore function of my left hand and cleared the pressure from my head and face while I was on the table. In the months that followed, I went from not being able to drive to being fully functional again even if a migraine came, which have been significantly less frequesnt.

Acupuncture with Dr. Katie has helped me regain my quality of life. Its been a truly remarkable experience. I’ve taken steps to reshape my life through this and I’m loving every moment. I’m so very grateful for Dr. Katie’s care and skill. It’s been nothing short of enjoyable!

Thank you so very much Dr. Katie!

Knowledgeable and Compassionate Care

I first came to see Dr. Katie more years ago than I can remember. I have always been open to all types of medicine and therapy.

Dr. Katie first treated me for low back issues when I was doing a boot camp. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. She is also very passionate about her profession.

Even though I sometimes go without seeing her for sometime, I usually come back for tune-ups when required.

I would and do recommend her all the time.

Thanks Dr. Katie,

Trigeminal Neuralgia

My daughter suggested I see Dr. Katie when my trigeminal neuralgia pain in my face became unbearable. since I had success with acupuncture before for back pain, I was hopeful this would be beneficial again. Dr. Katie asked a lot of questions about my overall health and health history. I have had IBS all my life so Dr. Katie thought we should start by calming the digestive system and work on alleviating some of the inflammation in my body.

During the first treatment, I could not feel the needles but the nerve in the face pulsed, not painfully but it let me know it was there. The pulsing continued for about 3 hours and then was gone along with most of the neuralgia pain for weeks. I continued with regular treatments over the course of the summer and fall and with Dr. Katie’s advice on diet and nutrition, my digestive system has begun to heal. I’ve lost 25 pounds and overall I am much healthier.

I have since been diagnosed with a tumor that is causing the trigeminal neuralgia. I am so thankful to Dr. Katie for helping me be as healthy as possible before surgery.

Dr. Katie is the most kind, caring and thoughtful medical professional I have ever seen. She truly cares about you as an individual and works to find the best solution that will target your specific issues, helping to improve your overall health.
