Testimonial 1:

After having having had reconstructive surgery on a fractured tibia, I went through a period of three months where four weekly x-rays had shown no sign of any bone growth and I was left facing further surgery in the form of a bone graft from my hip.

By chance, it was mentioned to me that acupuncture was worth a try and I arranged a consultation with Mei as I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. At the time of my consultation, I had been prescribed eight strong painkillers per day to help lessen the pain brought on by my tibial fracture.

After three weeks of twice weekly acupuncture sessions, I found that I was able to reduce my intake of painkillers to just two a day. This was after having taken eight a day for the previous nine months.

Due to the pain that I had been experiencing, I had also been having difficulty sleeping for more than a hour at a time. After just four sesions of acupuncture, I was able to enjoy a restful sleep of four hours or more. After further sessions, this has subsequently increased to six hours per night.

A month before I was due to be assessed for a bone graft, I had some more x-rays taken. The same consultant that had informed me that I was in need of a bone graft sat me down and advised me that I no longer required a bone graft due to the fact that I had experienced "extensive" bone growth since my last x-ray. The only thing that I had done differently between the two sets of x-rays was to undertake a series of acupuncture sessions.

Throughout the sessions that I have had with Mei, I have found her to be extremely informative, patient and understanding. She has always explained the reasons behind the treatment that I have received and the benefits that could be gained.

Mei has a knack of making you feel relaxed to the extent that you trust her judgement implicitly and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that is considering acupuncture for whatever reason.
