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. I understand that acupuncture can be helpful for a wide range of health concerns. If you’re curious about acupuncture, or simply don’t know what else to try for your particular challenges, I would encourage anyone to visit Stillwater Acupuncture for a consultation and treatment. You never know if you’ll respond to acupuncture unless you try, and the results can have such a positive impact on your life! B.P. ______________________________________________________ Our baby girl has arrived! I feel very blessed. The days of fertility treatments seem so long ago. I am still so grateful for your assistance--it was a wonderful experience for me and I think the acupuncture made all the difference in my success getting pregnant. A.W. ______________________________________________________ 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. Understanding that people may respond differently and that certainly your practitioner has a great deal to do with the results, it was like a miracle for me. After about six treatments, my problem has been solved in a permanent way. That was about 5 or 6 months ago. 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 started seeing a nutritionist . She suggested I get acupuncture to help with my severe allergies, digestive issues & stress level. I felt better starting with the first treatment. I had more energy, slept better & felt a sense of optimism that was not present before. I highly recommend Ann & Stillwater Acupuncture. S.D. |
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 just genuinely appreciate Ann and her approach to Acupuncture. She never rushes me, makes me feel heard, and changes her approach each time depending on my needs. I am so relaxed after my sessions, and I feel immediate differences in whatever issues we are treating after the appointment. I highly recommend Ann and Stillwater Acupuncture! S.O. ______________________________________________________ I have been getting acupuncture from Ann since January 2014 and it has been a life changing experience! Ann's energy and approach is calming and comforting, adding to the acupuncture experience. I was new to acupuncture at the time that I began seeing Ann and she provided a wonderful experience, explaining every step of the process. Her exam is extremely thorough and she is able to help with a plethora of health and wellness concerns. I strongly recommend Ann's practice for acupuncture and overall wellness if you are anywhere near the Jenkintown area. It is refreshing and truly a pleasure to meet a caring practitioner like Ann!! J.P. ______________________________________________________ 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. ______________________________________________________ My son started acupuncture shortly after his 3rd birthday. He had severe allergies, eczema and asthma. We were looking for a way to help him without using so many medications. Acupuncture was just what he needed! Ann is very kind, patient, and gentle with him. My son always looks forward to his visits. KW |
