Headaches

"I initially started going to The Turning Point Center in April of 2008. The reason for my visit was that I had been suffering from chronic headaches for several months for which over the counter pain relievers offered no relief. Also with those headaches, I had been suffering with chronic neck pain that I describe as feeling like I had the flu in my neck everyday. It was that body ache feeling you get with severe flu symptoms.

With the first visit I had immediate relief from both my headache and neck pain. It was absolutely amazing. I continued my visits for a series of 16 visits, 2 visits a week for 8 weeks. My results have been phenomenal! I feel fantastic. I no longer suffer from the neck pain at all, which is nothing short of a miracle as I have suffered chronic neck pain since I was a child. I am now 44 years old (young now) and finally pain free. I feel better than I have in years. I can now exercise freely several times a week and I am for the first time in my life able to stick with a work out routine. In years past, when I would exercise; the neck pain would be so severe that I would have to take weeks if not months to recover before trying to exercise again with the same results.

I am so happy that I finally took the leap and tried acupuncture - my only regret is that I did not try it sooner. It has changed my life."

"In December of 2007 I had been sick and in a great deal of pain for many months spending a good portion of my days in bed. Western Medical Professionals had been unable to give me answers to my health problems. The holidays were coming and I was afraid I would be unable to enjoy them with my husband and children. My Nurse Practitioner suggested I try Acupuncture. I called the office of Tom Williams and from the very first phone call I felt a great deal of care and concern. I started treatments twice a week and was feeling well enough by Christmas to enjoy it.

With one month worth of treatments my pain was greatly improved but I was still feeling pretty icky. Tom was great and asked me to describe my symptoms. I did as best as I could and Tom used a necklace with me in addition to Acupuncture. For the next 5 days in a row I felt better than I had in a long time. I had energy again! After 3 months of acupuncture I was feeling well enough to go on a brief vacation with my three school age kids by myself.

I am so very grateful to Tom, Holly and the whole staff. I was given help and concern at a time when I had no answers and no energy. They gave me quality of life and help with the pain until I was able to find answers and treatment to all of my problems."

"I am very grateful for the healing assistance I have received from Tom Williams. About nine months ago, I started having strong, debilitating headaches. They were much stronger at night; therefore, I didn’t sleep well. I had difficulty thinking clearly, had erratic mood swings, and feared they would never go away. Doing some yoga didn’t alleviate them.

I began seeking aid from doctors, who gave me relief in the form of medication. However this didn’t resolve the cause of these headaches. I took ibuprofen and hydrocodone (Vicodin). Taking the hydrocodone medication caused severe constipation but eliminated the headaches. I began taking numerous stool softeners to offset this effect.

Since I have been receiving acupuncture treatments twice weekly for almost six months, my headaches have decreased significantly. They are almost totally gone. After only five weeks of treatments, I was able to stop taking hydrocodone and only take ibuprofen. Currently, I sleep better and am more relaxed. I believe the acupuncture treatments, healing atmosphere of Tom’s office, and the caring treatment I received from everyone at Tom’s office have made a difference in my health."

"As far as anyone can remember, my migraines started in the first grade. They were a consistent presence through my adolescence and became especially debilitating when I began at the University and took on all the stress, transition, and poor health habits that came with it. Throughout the years I saw several doctors and neurologists. I was prescribed four different prescription migraine medications, one of which actually worked for a while but then gave way to far worse breakthrough migraines. One pill was a daily preventative medication, which failed to cause any difference in my migraine frequency or severity but heavily impaired my mental function, furthering my compromised experience. I had several migraines a week, almost all of them lasted the entire day and caused me a great amount of pain and nausea. The various doctors I saw had no new information for me and continued to pressure me to take various medications. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I was feeling quite helpless and fearing a lifetime of suffering.

One spring day I walked by Turning Point Center and impulsively walked into the office pleading what I thought was a desperate case. Best decision I ever made for myself. I love walking into a welcoming, friendly environment (quite a contrast to the indifferent receptionists I'd grown accustomed to), and Tom and Laura have confidently tackled my migraines.

This is a whole new life experience. My migraine frequency and severity have dropped dramatically, beginning very soon after my first few visits. The treatments, the herbs, and the suggested supplements provided me with the most significant improvement in my health I've ever experienced. Even my allergies are almost a thing of the past. I have also always been a sickly person in general, but with the work we've been doing my one illness since starting treatments was short lived.

As my body progresses with treatment and I become more in tune with it, I am finally able to recognize and address other aspects of my health, all with success so far. I have a much more optimistic and empowered outlook on life now because I know that not only are my current symptoms being treated, I am also receiving preventative treatment to permanently improve my bodily functioning. I have learned so much about my body and how to live a healthier life. Not only is my body feeling better but mental and emotional processes are improving as well. I almost gave in to the pain and compromised life experience, but it simply is not necessary! I wholeheartedly recommend acupuncture and the amazing staff at Turning Point Center.

I honestly got a little teary eyed writing this. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart."
