REVIEW ~ THE HEALING CENTER
ST. LOUIS, MO
When you have a great experience, you want to share it with everyone!
Like many people, after decades of sitting at a computer in an office, I've suffered with chronic low-back pain ~ and more recently (over a year) a bad bout of sore, burning bursitis in my right hip. I tried stretching and walking more ~ didn't help ~ the only relief I got was from taking Advil; however, that's not a long-term solution and I worried about gastric bleeding.
I found The Healing Center in the DeMun area of St. Louis and began seeing Dr. Rebecca Gould (Chiropractor & Acupuncturist). We all want 'instant' results ~ and I did feel better after she adjusted my back ~ but the pain would eventually return. She reassured me that it might take awhile for my body to fully respond to the adjustments. After a few months, my back pain really began to diminish significantly and now I have minimal (if any) pain in my lower back! I do have to watch what I do (no lifting my darling 3-year-old Great-Nephew for example), but I notice the difference in being able to sleep better...in dressing myself without pain...and in not having the constant aching/pain in my lower back throughout the day & night. It's such a tremendous relief not to be living each day with that terrible pain!!
For my hip bursitis, I've been through PT courses, which helped, but not significantly. I was a skeptic, but allowed Dr. Gould to try Acupuncture on my hip, as it has helped my knee pain a little bit. With only ONE Acupuncture treatment, my hip pain was gone!! I kept waiting for it to return, but it's been about a month and I am free of that burning sore pain in my hip! (Moral of the story: don't be afraid to try new techniques!).
There's nothing 'fancy' about the Healing Center itself, but this modest office allows them to keep prices at a reasonable rate ~ and it's a pleasant, clean & comfortable environment! I've never had a problem with parking (right out front) on DeMun and it's very convenient, just off of Clayton Road. I highly recommend a visit to Dr. Gould's office ~ you'll be very pleasantly greeted by Kripa (Receptionist & Assistant) and you'll be in excellent hands with Dr. Gould's training & expertise! Give The Healing Center a try ~ I highly recommend it!!!
