Medical doctors wanted to replace both my knees and both my shoulders — they hurt so bad that it was difficult to sleep. Basically all my joints hurt due to osteoarthritis AND I have osteoporosis. I was also in the middle of a respiratory event and couldn’t breathe. After my first treatment I could breathe and I slept better than I had in years. After acupuncture treatments it is less painful to walk daily and do my Wii workouts. I recently attended a conference that required extensive walking to get to the different sessions, and that went very well.*
