I first met Neca at her old clinic, Natural Healing Wellness Center in Pompano. When I first met…read morewith Neca for my consultation, she was very thorough with my health history and concerns, she is very friendly and professional and made me very comfortable getting my first ever acupuncture treatment, she is very gentle and knowledgeable, she made me feel at ease, so much so that I have made acupuncture part of my regular routine because not only is it extremely relaxing, but it really works. I have been going to Neca for over 2 years, and all of my friends that I have referred to her agree she is by far the best acupuncturist in the area.
She has now opened her own practice, Jade Wellness, and lucky for me it is in Fort Lauderdale and closer to my house, centrally located on east Oakland Park Blvd. just west of Bayview, close to the Coral Ridge Mall. The clinic is very Zen like, relaxing, modern, clean and comfortable, it has a relaxing Spa feel to it, like you are in for some pampering, it feels nothing like a doctor's office, the minute you walk in you feel relaxed with the aromatherapy. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the treatment beds can be heated and have super comfy soft blankets to make you comfortable. There are several private treatment areas and 1 large group area for discounted group acupuncture, which is a room with zero gravity recliners and super soft comfy blankets. The clinic and rooms are always impeccable, everything is beyond clean.
In addition to Acupuncture, massage therapy is also available, and Michelle provides the best Massage therapy. she is one of the best massage therapists I have ever had, she can see my problem areas just by looking at how I walk and sit, she does an amazing full body massage and really works the problem areas and will apply as much pressure as you are comfortable with. She is a true master therapist and has extensive Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge, she trained with eastern medicine (Chinese) healers. Michelle will use special techniques such as hot rocks and cupping if you need it. Cupping is what all the professional athletes are using, it helps reduce pain by loosening muscles, increasing blood flow, its an excellent treatment for high blood pressure, it promotes relaxation, boosts skin health, helps treat respiratory issues, colds, and improves digestion.
These ladies can treat everything, I go regularly for neck and back ache, and they always leave me feeling like new. Also, I badly sprained my ankle earlier this year and I went to an orthopedic surgeon who said I just had to wait for it to heal, to ice it and try to keep of it, that's all he offered, he just said I had to wait it out and it would take months maybe even a year for it to heal, when I casually mentioned it to Neca and Michelle that my ankle was taking forever to heal they treated it with acupuncture and massage therapy and I saw immediate results, the swelling started going down faster, the pain wasn't as bad, and it started to heal. I truly believe that it was thanks to their therapy that the healing time was faster.
They are all very professional and friendly, the clinic also offers Facials, B12 shots, skin care and weight management treatments, basically treatments for just about everything from sprains, to high blood pressure. Also they will work with your Insurance, it doesn't hurt to have them check, I had no idea my insurance covered acupuncture and therapy, but it does! I like the ease of making appointments, and they also open for a few hours on Saturdays.
