A Physician's Take: Nothing Else Worked. This Did.

I am a physician in the suburbs of New York. I suffered from tennis elbow for 18 months. I had 2 steroid injections and lots of physical therapy. Nothing worked. I decided to try acupuncture as a last resort... I saw results immediately. Within several months my tennis elbow did not bother me at all.

No Doctor Could Explain It. Gabriel Fixed It in Weeks.

9 Years Pain-Free After Two ACL Tears and Premature Arthritis

I tore both ACLs and meniscus cartilage in my late teens, and developed premature arthritis in both knees by my early 20s. I could not walk without pain. A top orthopedic surgeon's only advice was, 'do what doesn't hurt, and don't do what does.' I was resigned to live a life in pain, until someone recommended acupuncture at the Sher Acupuncture Center. Today I walk with almost no pain, can ride a bike and exercise vigorously, and have not taken a single pain relief medication or anti-inflammatory for my knees in almost nine years.
