Wheelchair Bound No More

Wheelchair-bound No More

Four years ago I was in an accident which crushed part of my upper thigh. For almost 2 years the best that conventional medicine could do was some surgery and nerve control pills. I spend that time in extreme pain and using a wheel chair.

I decided to fight this disability with the help of acupuncture, even though I was terrified of needles.

My first round 2 years ago got me walking, working up to several miles twice weekly. I cried the first time I was able to walk up a flight of stairs. Now my second round with Jean Paul has enabled me to finally go back to work, standing, for 3 days a week. I also still walk twice a week.

If it wasn’t for caring practitioners like Jean Paul, and the wonders of acupuncture, I would still be sitting in that wheelchair. I give thanks every day.
