I was suffering from lower back and hip pain. It was difficult to walk in the morning, and at night, sleep was difficult and fitful. I continued to see a chiropractor but the pain was getting worse. There was serious talk of using surgery, or an epidural. I finally decided to try alternative medicine. Acupuncturist Ellen Leonard was able to bring me back level by level. Blessed with the hands of a surgeon and the touch of an angel, she is well versed in the art of pain management. I hardly ever felt a needle, and I'm a sensitive guy. There was never any discomfort. Her skills include different needling techniques as well as the use of herbs for treatment, if needed. She is very empathetic and has a very good bedside manner. Costs are reasonable and are covered by most insurance plans. She also works with our vets with PTSD and their families at no charge. I highly recommended her.
