Qian Zuo LAc, Annie Acupuncture

I sought acupuncture treatment for two conditions — fibromyalgia and chronic urticaria (hives). With the fibromyalgia I had constant pain for about 18 years. I had tried muscle relaxers, physical therapy, yoga, cortisone shots, massage therapy, etc. and nothing seemed to provide long term relief. My chronic urticaria would come and go with my flares lasting for a year to a year and a half each time and sometimes the hives would be so bad that they covered my whole body from head to toe. My doctor had me on a cocktail of 7 different medicines to stop the hives, but I was tired of taking medication just to treat symptoms.
After asking my doctor if there was an alternative treatment instead of taking so many different types of medicines, she recommended that I try acupuncture as it is very effective in treating my two conditions. At first I was nervous as I had never tried it before, but I was relieved after I tried my first session with Qian «Annie» at Annie Acupuncture. The needles don’t hurt and you can barely feel them. She is very knowledgable and always make sure you are comfortable and listens when you give her feedback on how you are responding to the treatment. She’s also very nice and approachable.
After the first session my fibromyalgia pain decreased significantly. I hadn’t known how it felt to wake up with barely any pain. After about 7 treatments my hives that had been flaring for almost a year had completely gone away! I tapered off of all of my medications and I am now medication-​free and still no hives or pain. I feel like it is a miracle and I can’t thank this sweet woman enough for significantly increasing my quality of life.
If you are considering acupuncture, definitely don’t hesitate to book a session here. Also, if you have an ailment, talk to your doctor to see if you can get a prescription and see if your insurance covers or partially covers acupuncture. Luckily, my treatments were completely covered by my insurance and I didn’t pay anything out of pocket.
I always made an appointment with her ahead of time. She is very quick to respond if you email her.
