“I first came to Melanie after suffering from chronic lower back pain for many months. I had tried to ignore the pain, or used hot compresses to reduce it, but every morning it was a struggle just to get out of bed. I was in Columbus for a long weekend, and decided to try acupuncture to see if it could help alleviate some of the pain. I sought treatment from Melanie three days in a row. After the first treatment, my back already felt a bit more limber. By the end of the third treatment, the change was remarkable — the pain was completely gone! I would have been satisfied if the pain had just been reduced, but instead it disappeared. What was most incredible is that I awoke pain-free for nearly eight months — until I was well into the third trimester of my pregnancy. Now that I have given birth to my son, I plan to return to Melanie for further treatment — a year after my first treatment.” – Erin Y.
