I injured my shoulder and back earlier this year. Ed is fantastic; I was somewhat skeptical of acupuncture before and have a mild apprehension of needles, but even after one treatment I felt much better and did not have to take my pain medications that day.
Before seeing Ed I tried everything from Advil to prescription pain medications and muscle relaxers (which made me extremely fatigued all the time) from my doctor. None of this worked for several weeks. But after just two treatments I was able to stop taking my pain medication all together. Mr. Raskin exudes a very pleasant demeanor and gave me very insightful information into what he thought was causing my pain. I am a total believer, as my pain has almost completely resolved without the use of any medications. What a relief!
