I first went to see Jennifer Myers because I did not want to have cortisone shots in my knee, so I thought I should try anything to avoid that. I had been in a car accident a year prior and after seeing the doctor, being on different pills and going to physical therapy sessions, my condition had plateaued, I was seeing no improvement and thought I would be cursed with knee pain the rest of my life. I only had knee pain when I kept my knees in the same position for a long time, such as on long car rides, concerts, seeing a movie in the older type theatres, etc. My only alternative given to me by my Doctor was to have cortisone shots under my knee caps.
My wife suggested I give acupuncture a try. I am so glad I did. I was not the most willing of patients however, I was not good about doing the homework, the salt baths, etc that Jennifer recommended, I only did the acupuncture. And boy what a difference. Then one day on a really long car trip to the beach the pain came back. Previously when the pain would come I would try to get my knee into a different position or press against the sore spots but nothing would work, so I thought this time nothing would work again. But amazingly, I shifted my position and in just a few seconds the pain was gone, I was amazed. Ever since, any time I get an inkling of pain, which hardly happens any more as is not near as severe as it was before acupuncture, all I need to do is shift my knee slightly, and the pain is gone. I haven’t seen Jennifer in weeks, and I still feel great, she didn’t just treat my knees, she fixed them, so that I don’t need to keep coming back again and again.
