Align Acupuncture

I like to think of Rebekah as my personal miracle worker.
I don’t really understand acupuncture. I was a skeptic at first, figured, heck, nothing else is alleviating my asthma/​bronchitis, so why not try it. While still trying to understand how it works, I finally realized I don’t ask how a pill works. And essentially, acupuncture (and related therapies) are to Eastern medicine what pills are to Western medicine.
I’m now an acupuncture convert! From small issues (such as a hoarse voice or short term pain), to more chronic issues (such as my asthma/​bronchitis), Rebekah manages to fix me.
So, haven’t tried it yet? Here’s what to expect.
The office is on Mount Auburn street, on the second floor. A session usually starts with some questions on the current state of my health and if there are specific issues I want to address.
Rebekah has a sturdy, comfy table, and usually starts me on my front. After placing the one-​use only acupuncture needles (really small), she puts on music. She has a number of selections, but always remembers to have my favorite Tibetan chanting for my appointments). Sometimes she’ll cover me with a foil blanket, sometimes use a heat lamp. The she turns out the light.
At which point, I usually fall asleep. I feel bad she has to listen to my snoring! After she wakes me, I flip over and we do the other side.
I’ve also had Rebekah provide me with Chinese herb therapy. I really like it, although be warned, some mixes are not the best tasting. It doesn’t bother me, but I have discovered it’s a good way to shoo away my brothers. All I need to do is offer them some Chinese herb tea and they run! ;-)
Seriously though, Rebekah’s approach, in-​depth knowledge and interest in curing what ails me is wonderful. I think of her as part doctor, part shrink, part trainer and more relaxing than a sports massage.
Don’t think — go try acupuncture!
