Testimonial: Chronic Pain “I'd never had any acupuncture treatments before seeing Margo, and from my very first phone call with her she patiently answered my questions and made me feel at ease. Each appointment we check in about a variety of aspects of my health and situation. I feel like she really listens. She tailors her treatment each week to best remedy whatever is bothering me the most pain-wise, and to match the particular fertility-related goal or issue I'm having at that part of my cycle. I do notice an overall improvement in my chronic pain with less flare-ups over the course of my time undergoing treatment with her.”
Testimonial: Migraines: “I have been seeing Margo at Silver Leaf Acupuncture for about three months. I have been a migraine sufferer for over 20 years, and based on the recommendation of others I decided to give acupuncture a try. After filling out the paperwork and having my initial consultation, I learned that acupuncture could also help with my sleeping problem. For over two years, the only way I could fall asleep and sleep through the night was by taking two Tylenol PM before bed. The spring is typically the worst time of year for me, averaging around 15 migraines per month. After three months of treatment, I have had only two migraines. They were not as severe as they had been prior to acupuncture and they didn't last that long. I am also sleeping great without any pills. I feel great and would recommend that anyone go see Margo for migraines or sleep problems—or any ailment acupuncture can help.”
