"Scot is awesome!  I tore a hamstring muscle playing soccer
and returned, PAIN-FREE, in 2 weeks with only 3 treatments!!  
Normally, I would have been out 6 to 8 weeks!”
Bob P., 61

“I've always been skeptical about acupuncture, but after my
wife's experience, I gave acupuncture a try.  Being 61 years old
and the nature of my job (lifting, twisting, bending, etc.) I had
experienced numbness and discomfort in my arms and
shoulders for several years - even to the point of disrupting my
sleep and interfering with daily activities.  After receiving
several acupuncture treatments from Scot, the symptoms
disappeared!  I can now sleep through the entire night.  

I'm also a runner and Scot's treatments have  alleviated my leg
pain which has plagued me for the last two years. Acupuncture
is definitely a great alternative to pain medication.”

"In February I had surgery to correct a broken bone in my foot.
After the cast was removed the healing was going slowly. I had
a lot of swelling & pain. Scot was recommended to me by
someone who had knee surgery & found that with the
acupuncture she had better range of motion & less swelling.
Scot's treatments worked quickly, on my return visit to the
doctor he was amazed that the swelling was gone! I found Scot
to be very gentle and thorough."

"Two weeks after having trigger finger release surgery, I had to go
on crutches for a month, which caused a lot of pain and swelling at
the site of surgery.  I couldn't sleep at night due to the pain in the
tissue above my arm, especially around my elbow.  My Trigger finger
was so swollen I could hardly move it.  The surgery site on the palm
of my hand was extremely sore, with very swollen tendons.  I was
sure I had ruined my surgery by using crutches, and that I would
have to have more surgery to repair the damage.

Although I had never had acupuncture before, I called my hand
surgeon and told him I wanted to try acupuncture for the pain and
swelling.  He actually encouraged me to try it!!  After just one
treatment, the nerve pain in my hand was gone.  With each
additional treatment, my hand and finger became less swollen, my
finger was much more mobile, and my elbow was less sore.  By my
fifth treatment I could move my finger straight out - and then into a
fist - with no pain at all.  The nerve pain, elbow pain were all gone
within about 2 1/2 weeks.  It's been about 3 weeks since then and the
pain and swelling have remained gone!

The all-natural Chinese herbs Scot gave me for joint inflammation
were wonderful, and really helpful!  No more pain medications or
pills!  When I saw my hand surgeon for a 2 month check after my
acupuncture treatment, he was very pleased with my progress.  He
also praised the Chinese herbs, saying that, after all, that's how
today's medicine started out!

Scot is very knowledgeable about acupuncture, and very good at
explaining procedures and reassuring patients.  He has lots of
experience, and he is very gentle!  I highly recommend Scot and
acupuncture!”

"I noticed I was having lots of perimenopausal symptoms right around my
41st B-day.  Being concerned that my 'biological clock' was about to go off I
approached Scot for help.  We immediately started on a regiment of herbs
and acupuncture, and within 3 months my periods had returned to normal.  
I was able to get pregnant and a year later, I have a beautiful, healthy baby
girl!  Absolutely amazing!"  
Sara T., 32, Soccer Player

"I have been a competitive soccer player all my life, and have dealt with my
share of injuries, a few resulting in surgery.  In May 2006, I had my ACL
reconstructed for the 2nd time and was having a very tough time with one
part of my rehab.  I had developed tendonitis around the area where the
surgeon had tunneled into my tibia to anchor the graft.  I could not work
out my hamstrings at all, causing them to languish and setting me back in
my rehab goals.  After doing everything I could think of, on the
recommendation of my rehab therapist, I went and had acupuncture,
focusing on that specific area.  I was amazed.  After 1 treatment, I was able
to start doing hamstring curls and strengthening those muscles.  My pain
had dropped dramatically and my whole leg felt great!  Since then, I’ve run
into other roadblocks recovering from my ACL reconstruction and have
addressed them with acupuncture and have been very satisfied with the
results.  Thanks Scot!"

"After being pain free in my lower back for 3 years, I started having severe
pain again.  I had gone back to my Doctor and she started me on major pain
medication and physical therapy.  The physical therapy helped until I
started having the pain and tingling down my leg again.  My physical
therapist referred me to Scot for acupuncture.  She told me that it was very
helpful to her with a similar injury.  After about 6 treatments the pain and
tingling in my leg was mostly gone.  I have been able to function in day to
day activities again without pain.
In addition to helping me with my low back pain, Scot has helped me with
evening out my mood swings and helping to loosen the tight muscles in my
back.
I was a little hesitant to be treated with acupuncture in the beginning.
Now I would rather be treated with acupuncture than have to be treated with
lots of heavy pain medication.  I am very pleased with the results of
acupuncture.  I very highly recommend Scot for most any ailment.
Thanks for all your help!"  
Kari A., 29

"Scot is very professional and very caring.  He has helped me to stay
healthy since he has been treating me.  I go to him when I think I may be
coming down with something and he has always been able to keep the
sickness at bay.  He also helps to improve my health overall so I do not get
sick as often.  He is very talented.  I have been to many acupuncturists and
I believe he has a very unique and natural gift to help people to heal.!"  
Kristen C., 19, U.S. Ski Team

"Hey! I just wanted to let you know that all my racing the past couple weeks
has been awesome! My body temp hasn't been quite so out of control and I
seemed to have my mental game going on really well, so i just wanted to say
thanks for the acupuncture!"

"Recently experiencing a plantar fasciitis flare-up in my left foot; Scot has
been able to cure this in less than 3 visits. Of course, if I would have
thought to use him first sooner, I would have been pain-free for months
rather than weeks! His treatments are awesome and should be considered
your first course of action rather than your last. Definitely make a, "Note
to Self" to add / put Scot to the top of your provider treament list."

“Scot had developed into a fine Eastern Medicine extraordinaire. Ask him
about "Cupping.” His technique for relieving pain is just amazing. I find
after a treatment to be pain-free and more energized. If you have nagging
pain or are in need of a service to pick-you-up, go to Scot. He’ll make you
feel much better.”""

"One day my wife and I were talking and she suggested that I give
Acupuncture a try to get off some anti-depressant medicine.   She had
success with Scot on relieving stress and she thought it might help
me.   At first, I was very skeptical, but I decided to go and give it a
try - I started in early September with regular treatments and in
November I decided to ween myself off the medicine and go strictly with
Acupuncture and by mid December I was off and been off ever since.   I
am convinced that the treatments did the job and I am maintaining a good
level life - it is GREAT!.   Thank you, Scot. "
