I am afraid of needles and blood! The very idea of having needles on my body causing me to bleed kept me far away from an acupuncturist. But a few years ago, I was in so much pain from a chronic illness but did not want to take narcotics. A friend recommended acupuncture so decided to try it and went to one. The woman scarred me. The room was tiny, I felt uncomfortable and it did not have a professional atmosphere. I was in enough pain, I was there so allowed her to treat me. It hurt!!! I felt every single needle she put in and it was exactly what I was afraid of. I endured gritting my teeth- no pain, no gain. After treatment, I definitely felt the pain, and kept waiting for the gain..., there was none!!! I did not feel any better!! I vowed, I would never go back!!
Recently, I found myself again in extreme pain and discomfort with no relief. I tried meds, physical therapy and massages with no other alternatives. My brother recommended Dr Sung saying it doesn't hurt when she does it. I had nothing to lose and I was desperate for relief.
The office looks like a legitimate doctor's office. Dr Sung listened to my pain history, explained what acupuncture is and how it can help. She showed me the needles and where she would place them. She quickly put me at ease with her professionalism and explanation of how the treatment will work. I laid on the examination table so she could prep me and we spoke about different things. Next thing I know, she says she's done! I was shocked!! I didn't feel a thing! I asked how many are on me, she said like 50!!! What????
I laid there for about 20 minutes listening to the peaceful music in the room, she had the heat lamp on me and I fell asleep with 50 needles on me!!!
I felt better about two hours after treatment and it lasted about two/three days. Dr. Sung said with regular treatment the relief will last longer- the pain has been with me a long time it's not going to go away so easily!
Been seeing Dr. Sung once a week now for about two months, I leave feeling better each time. I've taken my daughter who has tinnitus which would go away for about three days after treatment from Dr. Sung. If she was to go regularly for a bit it would go away permanently but she's 21 and too busy!
I highly recommend Dr Sung and Amherst Acupuncture wholeheartedly! Just try it once and you will be amazed at the results with no side effects! read more
