Arthritis

"The quality of care I have received is great. Even better than great. After two treatments for arthritis and pain in my lower back and nagging pain and stiffness in my neck (that has been there for over ten years), I noticed remarkable relief. Continuing treatments have made them almost nonexistent. I was also treated for hot flashes and night sweats--these are down to almost none."

"I asked my doctor if she could refer me to an acupuncturist for my advanced, tri-level osteoarthritis in my knees. She told me that a number of her patients mentioned and liked a Tom Williams.

When I first went to him, I was depressed and walking painfully slow with a cane. Now, I almost always get around without a cane! Sure colder weather and some movements can bring on pain, but it's only one-third to one-quarter of what it was. To top it all, I recover from pain sooner, rather than staying stuck with intense pain and limitations of movement. I don't use medications for pain that would upset my stomach either."

"I've had chronic pain in the form of fibromyalgia [with irritable bowel syndrome] and arthritis for over ten years. I've tried multiple disciplines to deal with the many symptoms that go along with these conditions, from exercise and meditation to diet, supplements and pain medication. But I was never really able to find the right combination until I found Tom Williams at the Turning Point Center. I had little to lose and so much to gain. What a difference acupuncture has made in my life!

From the first visit I started to feel profoundly different, physically, mentally, and spiritually. My world just seemed to get bigger and brighter. For instance, I found that I could see more clearly from colors and light to small details. I didn't need to wear my reading glasses as often. My glaucoma disappeared. The experience was like being able to breathe fresh air for the first time. The depression I had suffered from for seven years slowly vanished and I had no more use for antidepressants. My memory and mental clarity improved. I started feeling like living out loud for a change.

Fibromyalgia is a strange animal. It seems to go hand in hand with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), skin hypersensitivity, extreme fatigue, mental fogginess, depression, muscle and joint pain and food/chemical sensitivities. After several months my skin sensitivity went away along with the IBS. My pain levels went down considerably. I found that if I was having a flare-up I could get a treatment with Tom and get immediate relief.

The Turning Point Center has become a big part of my proactive war against fibromyalgia and arthritis. Some of the other things I have found to be essential in my "war chest" are: Green First (a supplement from Turning Point that improves my energy level), chiropractic, getting plenty of sleep and exercise, hot baths and eating a well balanced diet void of preservatives and artificial sweeteners. When I have a flare-up, I tell myself, "this too shall pass" and once again dip into my war chest.

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to try acupuncture with Tom Williams at the Turning Point Center."

"I was referred by Dr. James Morris to Tom Williams to help my fibromyalgia pain. I was diagnosed in 1993 with fibromyalgia. The pain in my lower back and hip are aggravations from many falls in my life. I have some bulging disks and disk degeneration up and down my spine. I was not able to shop, work, exercise or walk long distances. I have taken pain medication, had massages, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy. Tom Williams is the one who has truly helped me with my pain. He has increased my energy and ability to shop, improved my sleep and mood, and decreased my pain. I had bone spurs in the heels of my feet. Tom treated them in one appointment and I left pain-free that day. Tom's needles are small and don't hurt. I like that he measures my improvements by doing evaluations every eight weeks. He keeps data and has helped me with so many allergies that I had before I saw Tom. Don't hesitate, call right now and meet a wonderful staff and know you are on the road to recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to try acupuncture with Tom Williams at the Turning Point Center."
