Acupunture Testimonials

A basketball player with the Dr Phillips Magic had lower back pain that the Magic training staff was not able to resolve.

Again, I was able to resolve his pain in an hour.

A few summers ago, I was asked by former NBA player to work on the USA 55+ basketball team as they competed in an international age group tournament at Walt Disney World.

They included me in the team photo with the trophy.

A long-time patient of mine was knocked off his bike by a friendly dog and broke his femur near his artificial hip.

A patient ran the Goofy at Disney. She ran a half marathon on Saturday morning and a full marathon on Sunday morning. On the Friday afternoon preceding that weekend, she received a flush massage, which moves blood in and out of the muscles. Saturday afternoon she received another flush massage.

I have a regular massage patient who has peripheral neuropathy with pain and numbness in his toes.
