Arthritis that doesn't go away
Lynn has arthritis, the wearing down of the cartilage that cushions the joints. Hers isn't severe, but it's chronic.
She has had acupuncture for about 20 years and finds it very beneficial. For a number of years she has come to us for acupuncture, physical therapy and chiropractic care.
How we treat her arthritis
For several years Lynn has seen Clint Price at our acupuncture clinic in Belmar. Acupuncture places fine needles at specific points to ease inflammation in the joints and release tension in the muscles around them.
Lynn's arthritis isn't the same from one visit to the next, so each visit starts with her. When she walks into Clint's room and tells him her shoulders, her neck and her hip hurt more than usual that day, that's what he treats. Listening first is how we work at Thrive, and Lynn sees it in everyone here: she can tell we're serious about what we do, we love it, and we want to help people.
“He's listening, and plus he's very skilled as an acupuncturist.”
Pain that stays managed
Some days Lynn is still in a lot of pain, but acupuncture keeps it well managed. She knows she has benefited tremendously.
