<< Pain Testimonials

I have been going to Middle Path Acupuncture for nearly 10 years. When I first began treatment, my health greatly interfered with my ability to fulfill the responsibilities of my day-to-day life. Little things like showers and doing laundry, felt like mountain climbing. I have had asthma my whole life and developed endometriosis and thyroid disease in my mid teens. As a teenager, I was desperate to have fun, instead of living in chronic pain. So I tried everything Western medicine had to offer. I saw dozens of the best specialists in Boston. I tried every medicine. Joined trials. Even underwent painful surgeries. I was a believer in the Western way, but I wasn't seeing results. By the time I was in my early 20s, I was desperate. I really considered acupuncture a "last resort." I didn't believe it would work. BUT IT DID. After years of fighting to get my life back, a few months with Lisa had me back to feeling like myself, instead of a sick person. She gave me hope and she has worked with me ever since to maintain and restore my health. I'm now entering my 30s with a full life and a thriving career, neither of which I'd have without her help. Just recently, she even helped me recover from knee surgery. One treatment with her had me feeling better than any medicine the doctors gave me. It's worth noting I have seen other alternative medicine specialists. Lisa is the real deal. She has a way of working with her patients to understand their needs and has the compassion to help them realize their dreams and goals. If I could give Lisa 10 stars for the quality of her care and the talent she has, I would.
