Anxiety and Premenopausal symptoms

“I originally sought care with Wendy to alleviate anxiety that I was experiencing on a daily basis.  I would wake in the middle of the night with my heart racing and sweating from the palms of my hands.  I was often riddled with worry from an unknown origin, usually from 3am to 11am.  This often caused digestive issues and a loss of appetite.  I noticed an immediate relief from my anxiety after my first treatment with Wendy.  I was able to sleep through the night without the stress of looming anxiety attacks.  I am now living an anxiety free life.  Acupuncture has made me internally calm and has allowed me to feel gratitude for the experiences in my life.  As a bonus, I noticed that I am no longer experiencing many premenopausal symptoms such as night sweats, racing heart and abdominal cramping.  I feel better and more energetic than I have felt in many years.  Acupuncture has been the answer to resolving many of my health concerns without the use of medication.   I am completely satisfied and look forward to each session.  Acupuncture also helps me to feel proactive in maintaining hormonal balance and overall good health.  I plan on continuing acupuncture forever!”

Neck & Shoulder Pain

“I had neck and the shoulder pain with numbness in my left hand.  The numbness in my hand kept me from enjoying riding my motorcycle.  After one treatment all the pain and numbness are gone.  I am pain free and can enjoy all activities.  I tell everyone about the positive experience I had.”

Sore Knees

“I came to see Wendy about my sore knees.  I obtained some relief after 2 to 3 treatments.  It was a great help but my knees needed surgery which I delayed.  As part of my whole body treatment I benefited from no sinus headaches, better sleep and total body relaxation.  I am highly satisfied with Wendy and acupuncture.  My only regret is that I did not seek acupuncture for my knees years prior.”

Quit Smoking

“I have not smoked in 7 months.  I feel better knowing that I’m healthy and not contributing to the pollution cigarettes generates.  I am very satisfied.  I have recommended Wendy to friends who have also had found success.”

Stress, Anxiety & Nervous Stomach

“I came to see Wendy for stress, anxiety and a nervous stomach.  I now feel more relaxed and have had significant improvement with my nervous stomach.  I have been to other acupuncturists with mixed results.  Wendy has a wonderful practice and has helped me where others have failed.”

Migraine Headaches, Depression, Anxiety and Gastrointestinal Issues

“I have experienced some decrease in my depression and anxiety.  I feel more mental clarity.  My gastrointestinal discomfort has decreased and I feel more relaxed.  It is hard to tell how acupuncture is working for the migraines but I do feel like it is working for my overall health.  Wendy is a wonderful practitioner. I feel that she really works with me to improve my health and wellbeing.”

Fibromyalgia

“I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 1 year ago.  I have had two treatments with Wendy so it would be too early to say how it has contributed to the quality of my life.  However, I am feeling better and I am looking forward to more sessions.  It is very relaxing and the short term benefits last about one week—meaning the pain is not as intense and I am not as stiff.  I have already referred two friends of mine.”

Low Back Pain

“I came to see Wendy Swanson for the first time on Monday, June 16th after two months of unbelievable back pain.  One of the staff at CMC-Pineville recommended I see an acupuncturist before I took the final MRI films to the neurosurgeon.  She said I would be more pleased with the outcome of an acupuncture treatment than I would be with back surgery.  My husband and I decided I could always have the surgery if the acupuncture did not work. 

When my husband brought me for my first treatment, I was alternating between a wheelchair and a  walker, depending on how bad the day was.  I went into Ms. Swanson's office on my walker and after the first treatment, I have used neither the wheel chair nor the walker.  In fact, my husband folded my walker, put it into the car and I walked out of the office without using it.  That was the first time since March 24th I had walked more than 2 feet without the walker or being in a wheel chair.  I was able to return to work only days after the first treatment.

I think acupuncture, when performed by someone who cares as much as Ms. Swanson does, is a wonderful experience.  I will always go there first before I go to another MD.  My husband and I thank God everyday for the lady at the hospital who recommended acupuncture as a way to find relief from the horrible pain.  I am finally off all drugs, including morphine, and am enjoying life again.   As soon as I lose the weight caused by all the steroids, I'll be a very happy camper.  My only regret is that the recommendation to try acupuncture did not come two months earlier.  It would have saved me a lot of pain and my husband a lot of worry.”
