Ann Fielder, L. Ac.

I hurt my back while working out at the gym. In addition to acute back pain, I had numbness and pain in my lower legs and a sensation of wearing woolly socks on my feet. The neurologist diagnosed it as peripheral neuropathy. My doctor suggested I try acupuncture and recommended Ann.

After the first week of treatment, there was a lessening of symptoms, and by the second month, the “woolly socks” feeling was gone, and remains gone, now 9 years later. By the third month, the pain in my feet was practically gone, and my back showed great improvement. Now I only see Ann as needed to relieve back pain. I even dropped the Lyrica that my doctor prescribed, I highly recommend Ann Fielder as a highly professional, caring acupuncturist.

I have been having trouble with migraines for the past 8 years. My doctor has tried multiple medications to prevent them, but none of them have worked. I was having at least 1 to 2 migraines per week. I read the article about Ann’s ear tac treatment and decided to give it a try. In the last 3 months there has been a dramatic change: I have only had 2 headaches the whole time. I recommend this to anyone who is trying to find an alternative to taking medications to deal with migraines.

Even though I stretch every day, I still have chronic tightness in my shoulders and neck from working at the computer and bicycle riding. When Ann told me about her electro-therapeutic point stimulator I was skeptical, but in enough pain that I was willing to try it. The results were immediate. I was able to continue both activities pain free. I won’t hesitate to return. Ann’s acupuncture is a wonderful resource.

For as far back as I can remember, I have suffered from migraine headaches. After my son was born 3 years ago, the migraines became a daily occurrence. I was taking maximum doses of over-the-counter pain medications, as well as multiple prescriptions from my doctor, with some unbearable side effects—still without effective pain relief. Since receiving acupuncture, my migraines have virtually disappeared, with only an occasional episode. I was skeptical, but Acupuncture has changed my life: I am able to function without pain, drug-free. If I had known how well this relaxing, alternate method works, I would have put aside my skeptical thoughts years ago.

When I went to Ann for my very first acupuncture treatment, I had pain going down the backs of both legs and a numbness that went from my thigh down into my heel, being caused by arthritis in my lower back. The first 5 treatments over a 4-week period gradually made some improvement—the pain and numbness in my left leg were gone. I went in on my 6th treatment with a lot of pain in my right leg. Immediately after the treatment, the pain was gone and has not returned. Now, after 8 treatments the numbness is all but gone. I am sold on acupuncture and highly recommend it!
