Neck Pain
"The summer of 1997 the heater stopped working in my water bed. Since it was a very hot moment for Oregon I thought I might sleep in 'cool' comfort. Wrong! I woke up with a stiff neck unlike anything I'd ever experienced. I was in such pain that the thought of anyone moving my neck sent chills through me. Stiffly, not moving my head, I called Tom Williams. I drove straight down to his office, with emphasis on straight as there was no way I could turn my head.
"I remember Tom put a needle in the web of hand between my thumb and my first finger and said quietly, 'Try turning your head.' And I did! Amazing. He rotated the needle slightly and I was able to turn my head from side to side. Wow! He then warmed my neck with a moxa treatment and suggested I get a new heater for the water bed. I was convinced."

"I am an RN who [Tom] treated with that 'neck thing' he does. My symptoms were intermittently numb/achy arms, inability to fully turn my neck, and an inability to lift anything heavy, especially with my right arm. After one treatment, my symptoms were 85% better and 100% better after the second treatment. I was able to turn my head completely in either direction, something I hadn't been able to do in years. A very nice side effect was an overall sense of calmness that descended upon me and lasted nearly two weeks. I have a very stressful job and nothing seemed to bother me for a while. Very nice side effect."

"I am fifty years old and am in very good health. Unfortunately, every spring for the last four years my neck has turned into knots. Each time I have had physical therapy for two to three months with the appointments one to two times per week, exercises, etc. Although I am not a believer in alternative medicines, I had two acupuncture treatments at the suggestion of a friend. My neck is great! That was two months ago. I’m a believer now."
