"I came to Lauren desperate for help in healing a stubborn and painful fractured clavicle. I had undergone surgery to plate and pin the clavicle back together, but 6 months later, the bone still showed no signs of healing. I had also developed nerve damage related to the hardware in my clavicle, causing numbness, circulation issues and a great deal of pain. The doctors told me that I would have to undergo another clavicle surgery, including a bone graft since there were no signs of healing.
It was at this point that I had my first session with Lauren. I was thrilled to see improvement in as little as one treatment. The acupuncture helped with my nerve pain and circulation immediately. After one month of acupuncture treatments, I saw my orthopedist again for one final set of x-rays before they were going to schedule the surgery to re-plate my clavicle. Much to his surprise and my relief, for the first time in 7 months, my clavicle showed signs of healing! The bone fragments finally made partial contact with each other. My Orthopedist suggested I continue treatments with Lauren, and decided I did not have to undergo surgery again!
After 3 months of treatment with Lauren, my clavicle had formed a solid union. There is no doubt in my mind that her treatments helped me heal, and avoid another invasive surgery. Unlike other acupuncturists whom I have been treated by, Lauren was always very personable and did a thorough review of my current health and any changes since my last treatment. I feel this helped her target the treatments to get the best results possible. I highly suggest Lauren as an acupuncturist. " H.H.

"Lauren is very knowledgeable and an excellent and patient listener. She has systematically treated and improved my chronic and serious lower back and sciatica pain. I am walking and sleeping much better. I know acupuncture works from this and earlier successes. It has no potential negative side effects and helps the whole body even when targeting a specific problem." S.M.

"Lauren is fabulous! She is patient, calming, and really listens to your needs. I saw her for pregnancy related leg pain and it was the only thing that truly made me feel any pain relief. On the days she gave me treatment I would finally be able to get some sleep at night. Priceless when you are pregnant. I would highly recommend her! The office is pleasant, easy to get to, and ample parking. Call her if you are in pain, she can help!" L.B.

"My physician diagnosed the pain in my knee as arthritis and told me I would have to learn to live with it, but after several months of worsening pain and swelling that became bad enough to wake me most nights, I decided to try acupuncture. After the first treatment, the pain was reduced markedly and kept lessening for a couple of days. By the end of four treatments I had recovered most pain-free movement and the swelling was gone.
I know I still have arthritic knees but feel confident I really will be able to live with them with Lauren's help. She's amazing." N.K. |
