Success Stories From Real Patients
|
"I was fortunate to meet Ann Mertens of Stillwater Acupuncture during a time when I was getting truly fed up and frustrated with chronic aches and pains in my back, hips, knees, and neck. I had been experiencing this pain for several years beginning in my early 30’s, and it had become my “new normal”. I felt I was too young to be experiencing this type of pain, so I did my best to ignore it. In the morning, it would take me 20 minutes before I could fully stand up straight, and that first walk down the stairs would send shooting pain through my hips and knees. The pain kept me from enjoying an active lifestyle, and sometimes it even kept me from getting a good nights sleep since I had a hard time getting comfortable in bed. Even sitting for too long at my desk at work or in the car on my way home could be painful some days.
"I can hardly believe my positive reaction to the treatments I am receiving at Stillwater Acupuncture. I began feeling the results almost immediately. The treatments themselves are completely painless, and even relaxing most times. I leave the office feeling refreshed, and over a period of only two months, I have seen almost complete relief from my chronic pain. I can now enjoy hiking and yoga with no symptoms, I’m sleeping more consistently through the night, and I have a renewed sense of health. Ann is very knowledgeable, and puts me at ease with her friendly yet professional demeanor. B.P. ______________________________________________________ "Honestly, I was a bit nervous about having acupuncture. However, I had a chronic physical problem for two years and had tried everything including exercises. In my desperation, I decided to try it. Truly it was one of the best decisions of my life. "If you want to improve your quality of life and fight pain or discomfort of any kind, I would say run don't walk (if you can) to see Ann!! I will continue to tell people what a wonderful thing acupuncture is and what a great result I had with Ann." D.S. ______________________________________________________ Acupuncture works for me, that's what I tell people when I recommend trying it. Ann is very sweet and concerned about my aches and pains and she is so gentle. I am very impressed when Ann is treating my symptoms and the treatment does work. It's awesome and some people don't know where to turn - I totally recommend Stillwater Acupuncture - try it, ya may LOVE it, like me!!!! P.Z. |
I have been going for Acupuncture for 1 1/2 years and can honestly say I don't know where I would be without it. I have gotten so much relief of pain that I rarely need an Advil. The treatment always makes me feel better and Ann is a very caring, warm and knowledgeable professional.
J.E. ______________________________________________________ I can't praise Ann's extensive knowledge and skill as an acupuncturist enough. She changed my life in a way I could NEVER have imagined. Before going to Stillwater Acupuncture, I couldn't use my dominant hand for about two years due to severe nerve pain. Acupuncture was the thing that finally worked and gave me back the use of my hand! When the nerve pain spread beyond my hand, she was also able to get that under control. I can walk into Ann's office and she is able to take my pain away instantly. I couldn't believe it but it kept happening. I had a brain injury that also caused many problems like fatigue, migraines and depression. Again, Ann helped me with all my physical and emotional issues. I tried traditional medicine with a neurologist but nothing worked. Finally, I was persuaded to try acupuncture. I really, really wished I had gone sooner. I was hesitant because I was afraid of needles. It turned out they don't hurt! You have nothing to lose ...but everything to gain by going to Ann for help. She is kind, compassionate and cares so much about her patients. Go to Stillwater Acupuncture if you are looking for a better life. It's there and it's amazing! Ann is incredible. P.B. ______________________________________________________ My husband suffered acute low back pain from a lifting injury and it was very difficult to progress his exercise program due to the pain. While attending a fundraising event, Ann noticed that my husband was in such acute pain that it was difficult for him to move around. She offered to help and my husband instantly felt relief. He was so impressed that he set up acupuncture appointments with Ann and is now pain free. The acupuncture sessions also helped him tolerate exercise progression and spinal mobilizations to address the structures that were contributing to his pain. Thank you, Ann! J.M. |

Here's How It Works...
We address the ROOT CAUSE.
Our process includes finding and addressing the actual ROOT CAUSE of your fibromyalgia. This is why so many have found relief with our therapies, even when other therapies didn't work. Even patients with a longstanding history of fibromyalgia have experienced significant relief. 
We help you awaken your body's natural healing system.
Despite what you may have been lead to believe, your body is not broken. It IS possible to have energy, comfort, and joy again. This is possible because your body never forgets how to heal itself -- sometimes it just need the right support. Your body can make its own anti-inflammatory substances and painkillers, and our therapies encourage your body to do just that. |
We use an all natural approach your doctor may not know about.
Your doctor may have told you that you’ll have to live with your fibromyalgia, or "this is as good as it gets". That doesn't mean there is no treatment; it just means your doctor has run out of ideas or there aren't other conventional treatments available. We find that people who don't respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to our gentle, natural approach. 
We keep it simple.
Feeling better and boosting your body’s natural healing resources does not have to be difficult or take a long time. Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our targeted natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to attack the problem head on. |
Our Approach ALWAYS Includes Emotional Well-Being
Stress, anxiety and depression are often key components in fibromyalgia. We do not ignore this -- we actually teach you very simple ways to enhance sleep and relaxation, which supports your body’s natural healing system. |
We focus on how you FEEL - not just the numbers
While everyone else is looking at pieces of paper with numbers, and not listening to you – WE focus on YOU, your story, and how you feel. Are you able to participate in your daily activities without pain? Can you sleep throughout the night and wake up full of energy? THAT is OUR focus. NOT more expensive, unnecessary lab tests. |

The Process Is Simple....
YOUR FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
At your FREE initial consultation, you meet one-on-one with your clinician to discuss your case in a no-pressure environment and, most importantly, to determine your goals. This gives you the opportunity to see if we’re a good fit for you, and we get the opportunity to make sure we are confident we can help. |
YOUR INTAKE & TREATMENT PLAN
Once you decide to move forward, we schedule your Intake Appointment. At this visit, you and your clinician will expand upon what was discussed at the free consultation, going deeper into your medical history, your symptoms, and other factors to determine the root cause of your specific issue. You’ll receive your first acupuncture treatment, and you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan will include dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as key supplements to address the root of your particular issue. |
ACTIVE TREATMENT & SYMPTOM RESOLUTION
You’ll return for once-weekly follow-up visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results. You'll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your progress is cumulative and your issue resolved as soon as possible. |
TRANSITIONAL CARE AS THINGS STABILIZE
Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits. This usually occurs after about 8-12 visits. Initially you’ll come every other week, then once a month for a couple of visits, then you will no longer need regular treatments. Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish. We’ll also be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other health concerns. |
TAKING CARE OF YOUR FRIENDS & LOVED ONES
We pride ourselves on the fact that 75% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work. So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life. |
Common Questions & Answers about our Natural Fibromyalgia Treatment Program
|
Will I have to keep coming forever? The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way. Many people opt to continue with treatments as they enjoy their sessions and multiple benefits they receive. Does it hurt? The needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain because they are razor sharp. Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments? Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation. Can natural medicine REALLY help relieve my fibromyalgia? Absolutely. Your body as a whole is capable of healing itself, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track. We’ve seen this firsthand in clinic over and over. |
What are my chances of success? Results vary, of course. That being said, over 70% of our patients report improvement in frequency and severity of symptoms, and many are able to reduce their medication use. However, your situation is unique, and once we meet with you, we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome. Will I have to do a super-restrictive detox or elimination diet? Absolutely NOT. Our program is all about setting you up to succeed. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible-to-follow meal plans or detox here. How long does it take to see results? People often feel a shift after the very first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to stimulate endorphin release, which is the most powerful pain relief substance the body makes. |
