I was first referred to Banya after a sports injury in my shoulder. I had a number of conditions contributing to my shoulder pain; bursitis, a torn AC and impingement. Unfortunately, due to work, I did not have the ability to stabilize my arm for a period of time to allow it to rest, which created even more inflammation and pain. Acupuncture is a non‐drug therapy being used more and more to treat shoulder pain; which was also very important to me. I had tried supplements, chiropractic, massage, and cortisone shots. It wasn't until I saw Banya that I felt the shift in my healing process. Banya gave me the "why's" of my continued pain. She worked up a plan for me and arranged my sessions so that they best fit my needs; yet fit into both our schedules. Aside from the treatment itself, she showed me some exercises for more range of motion that I could do on my own. The atmosphere of her working space, convenient location and even her demeanor contributed to how I received her treatment. I can't say enough positive things about the success that I've had seeing Banya for specific injuries, as well as regular body maintenance. read more
