“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.”

“Acupuncture has helped me in many areas. I first went to see Tom when I was having trouble after foot surgery. I have no more foot pain. Now, I will usually try acupuncture before any other service: for anxiety, vertigo, shoulder, arthritis, neck pain, and headaches. It has consistently eased my pain.
