Testimonial: Bursitis
Successful Treatment of Bursitis Using Acupuncture
"Last summer my primary care physician diagnosed a
problem with my left shoulder as bursitis. After a
few months of treatments including cortisone shots
and medication, I had temporary relief, but the pain
always came back. The doctor suggested that perhaps
physical therapy might give me some relief. I was in
the process of scheduling an appointment for PT when
a friend and patient of David Sollars recommended
acupuncture. He spoke very highly of Mr. Sollars and
raved about the treatment he received for an injured
ankle.
My first visit with Mr. Sollars was very
educational. He carefully explained the different
methods of acupuncture and how they interact with
the body. While David was examining my shoulder, I
asked if I would experience much pain when he used
the needles. He smiled ad said he had already
inserted several needles in my arm. After my second
visit, there was significant improvement in my
shoulder. I had more mobility and less pain I kept
getting better and better with each subsequent
visit. My shoulder was fine after approximately nine
visits.
I was amazed as I had never thought of acupuncture
as an alternative to treat pain. It worked for me
and I would highly recommend it for anyone with
pain. Mr. Sollars said “that he didn’t cure my
shoulder, he helped my body cure itself.”
