First off, I rarely, if ever leave reviews on anything. However, Melanie has been so exceptional, I simply have to share my experience so others hopefully can benefit as I have.
I had a broken toe for almost 5 months and no matter what I did, it was not getting better. I made an appointment with a podiatrist and got a second x-ray. According to him, after all of that time, it was only 50% healed.
In desperation I sought out Accupuncture for the first time in my life. I came across Melanie at Synerqi Accupuncture, and made the first appointment she had available.
Upon meeting Melanie, I found out she was a Registered Nurse. In speaking with her, I could discern right away that she was well balanced with her views of both eastern medicine and western medicine. She was not completely one way or the other. This was highly valuable to me.
She took my overall history, and recommended several things nutritionally that would aid in my recover, as well as some things that would be beneficial for me to avoid, such as inflammatory inducing foods. Due to me having 8 total non-related surgeries on the effected leg where the broken toe is, blood flow past those injured areas to my feet and toes is not 100%. After her assessment, she recognized this fact, and recommended an herbal formula that encourages blood flow. What I appreciated about her, is she first made sure that it was okay for me to take with 3 of her fellow colleagues, who are educational professors, due to a graft that I had surgically placed. This was a great sign for me that she is not careless about her recommendations but truly wants what's best for her patients.
Although she does not take insurance, most insurance companies now do recognize and see the benefits of Accupuncture, and therefore most of them do cover Accupuncture. Subsequently, Melanie is able to send super bills to you after each visit so you can give to your insurance company for reimbursement. This is what I did.
I saw Melanie 3 times a week, for one month. After the treatments, and following her nutritional recommendations, as well as taking the herbal formula, my toe is almost completely healed.
I wish I would have tried accupuncture years ago for other nagging injuries. In fact, I am now getting Accupuncture on 2 other areas of chronic injury, and I can feel my body responding so well to the treatments, less pain, and a noticeable difference in sensation upon feeling the injured areas.
I now call Melanie, "My Healer." In all seriousness, she is absolutely astounding at what she does. If you are looking for an Accupuncturist, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER, this is the one! She is the real deal and incorporates her vast pool of knowledge to each individual patient to get the best possible outcomes. I hope you see her and benefit as I have! read more
