I have gotten PHENOMENAL results with Rose Acupuncture. No other practitioner has given me any relief at all. Brian Rosenthal, "Rosie" of Rose Acupuncture, has given me my life back. Because of his skill I have reduced my opioid pain medication by two-thirds in three months and look forward to discontinuing it entirely and living life out of pain.
I have a diagnosis of Bursitis in my hips and have been a chronic pain suffer for the last seven years, my pain ranging every moment from 5 to 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. I went through all traditionally offered treatments including two long years of physical therapy. Treatments included extensive narcotic pain medication, steroid injections, nerve cauterization surgeries, exercise regimens, massage, all to no end. Exercise only exacerbated my pain.
I was referred to Rosie from Touchstone Pain Management, after realizing I had come to the end of all treatment options through them. I noticed improvement after one session, but knew this would take some time. The problem was very deep and tenacious, and no one else was able to help at all.
We discussed a treatment plan and I chose to do two treatments a week. As I continued over time, the pain lessened overall, but it was slow and erratic and some weeks were harder than others, the pain ranging as high as a six at times (never however as high as an 8 as when I started.) It would have been easy to get discouraged. It would have been easy to quit as many people do if they do not get immediate, conclusive results. However, it was impossible not to note my pain was lessening. There were plenty of times I doubted this would work, but I had gotten enough overall positive results to keep pushing into a third month of treatment, and I am thrilled to say my pain now resides, miraculously between a one and a two. I took a two-week break from treatment recently to test its results. I am thrilled to say I am almost entirely out of pain (ranging from 1 to 2 on the pain scale,) for the first time in seven years, and have been so for over two weeks now. I could not ask for better results. There are occasional bouts of pain, especially after a long and active day, that remit with a bit of sleep, and I wake feeling fine.
I will see Rosie again at the end of the week to discuss follow-up treatment to keep this in check forever, I hope. My best advice is to commit to this treatment and give it enough time to work. Do not be discouraged if results are not immediate. Because Rosie understands the exorbitant costs of out-of-pocket treatments he allows his clientele to determine what they can afford, starting at $25 per session, base price. I and my husband are both on disability and have little money. Because of Rosie's generosity, I was able to afford this emotional life-saving treatment over the months and I am extremely grateful to him, for his kindness and great expertise. read more
