I had been having weekly acupuncture treatments for 2 years due to a genetic connective tissue disorder that affects my joints and muscles before I went to see Dr Shin. I get trigger points everywhere all the time and I have chronic pain. My old acupuncturist stopped taking my insurance and I switched to Dr Shin. It was a blessing in disguise. In one session she was able to stop pains I had had for over 2 years and they haven't come back (as whereas before they would just go down in intensity and quickly come back after a few days). I recovered full mobility of my elbow in one session. She was able to identify where my chronic rib pain was coming from and eliminated it (no other acupuncturist, doctor, chiropractor or massage therapist had figured it out before).I have no words to express what this means to me. I'm only 37 years old and I'm now getting my life back thanks to her.
I will be going back to her to treat other conditions associated with my disorder.
She is compassionate, friendly and she takes all the time she needs to fully understand your condition. In my case that requires a lot of patience! She listened to all my symptoms and medical history and asked a lot of important questions. She truly cares about her patients.
I highly recommend her! read more
