The benefits of acupuncture

Limb    Pain

Unable to fully raise arm, foot pain (fasciitis):

After seven sessions, the patient was able to stay asleep for the entire night.

I have currently seen Dr. Tsai of Relife Acupuncture for my chronic body tension on the right side. My tension stretching through my neck, shoulder and back got instant relieved on the first appointment. Dr. Tsai was so attentive in the following appointments that she carefully tackled all my tension problems and made sure to reinforce my healing results.
I strongly recommend Dr. Tsai to everyone who have the acupuncture needs.
