Noelle Wilde – “To scratch the surface of what acupuncture has done for me, I have to back track a couple months and give you an idea of what my body felt like daily for years. The first moment I would open my eyes in the morning and start to roll out of bed, I would be hit with a wave of nausea from the aches that course along my spine, in my abdomen and throughout my entire back and legs. I would get just enough food in my stomach so that I could throw back the 800 milligrams of ibuprofen I was taking daily just to take the edge off of the pain – 800 milligrams is the maximum dose you’re recommended to take at one time and you’re told not continue with that for more than a couple days. I was taking it every day for MONTHS. I had no other pain management alternative. My doctors were so unhelpful; they threw many different hormone drugs my way saying stuff like “let’s test this one out and see how it goes.” I felt like an experiment – a walking trial and error lab. It took three years and dozens of doctors to finally diagnose me with endometriosis …after I asked to be tested for it. I would grit my teeth just to get through a work day, because if I took a sick day every time I felt sick I would never have been able to work. I averaged three ER visits a year for when I’d have a particularly horrific episode of crushing pain. When I went to Shane at Precision Acupuncture, I was on my last rope of pain tolerance and my liver was suffering greatly from all the ibuprofen. I was a little skeptical of what acupuncture might do for me, but several friends kept saying how wonderful it was. I have a phobia of needles, but at that point I didn’t care if it could relieve my pain even a little bit. What happened after just the first session was life altering. Shane put the needles in (which I could barely feel by the way), and left me to heal for a little while …I could feel something in my body release as I lay there under the heating lamp. When the needles were removed and I stood up again it was all I could do to not cry from how much relief I felt, and how my stiffness had somehow melted away. I was put on a regime of 3 sessions a week for over a month. My appetite returned, I gained some healthy weight back, I began to exercise and dance again and I woke up ready to face the day and my work in what now feels like a body as close to normal as its felt in 5 years. To say that acupuncture is life changing is an understatement. ‘When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.’ “

“I am so grateful to have met Shane, he has helped me with several acute and chronic pain issues. I started seeing him for a problem with pain in my low back and shooting down my leg, which was resolved with acupuncture. He has also helped with a herniated disc, headaches, arthritic knees, and even pain from a root canal! It has been so wonderful to have this pain just melt away with acupuncture.Theodore Fabel “I began going to Shane Berquist after finding out that acupuncture has helped many people with sleeping problems such as insomnia, of which I am a sufferer. I had gone to sleep specialists, received therapy, been prescribed medication, and self medicated to try to deal with my insomnia, and all of it was met with limited success. I was willing to try anything, although I was skeptical of acupuncture. My first meeting with Shane showed him to be... Read more »Marsha Edwards – “Shane is amazing.
