Recovery from shoulder surgery did not happen overnight and even after I should have been pain free, I was still very uncomfortable. My doctor suggested acupuncture as a possible relief. In addition to the shoulder problem, I had chronic back problems from a college sports injury many years ago and I thought I might be able to “kill two birds with one stone” with acupuncture. I did the necessary computer research and talked with friends regarding their experiences throughout our area and, as a result, I made an appointment with Dr. Jeon at Jun’s Acupuncture.
I did not know what to expect when I entered Dr. Jeon’s office. I was pleasantly surprised by her introduction and explanation of the procedures. Making and keeping this appointment has changed my life. The shoulder problem was better almost immediately. My back problem has taken a little longer, however I have minimal or no back pain since I had treatment. Best of all, I can golf twice a week, clean up around the house, go shopping, and walk without having to sit down every five minutes. This is without the physical therapy and the surgery which was suggested many times over the past years since my accident.
As many of us do as we get a little older, I have added a few pounds to my frame. I am sure that this has also contributed to my physical problems. I read the information at Dr. Jeon’s office on weight loss and made the decision to use her program to get rid of the weight. I have been on the program of acupuncture and herbs for just a few weeks, but I have lost 12 pounds and my energy level has never been higher. I have lost the need to “stuff” myself and have greatly reduced the amount of food I thought I needed. It is still not easy, but it is definitely easier than being on the other weight loss programs I have tried over the years. I think I can make the weight loss last this time. I have a different attitude and Dr. Jeon will help me. I highly recommend Dr. Jeon. She is one of the finest and most knowledgeable acupuncturists in our area.
