Allergies, Migraines, & Overheating
I have gone through surgery to remove my adenoids and tonsils and had two MRI’s to find a cause for my migraines. Results of both MRI’s showed no reason for the migraines. I do go to a homeopathic allergist and that has helped my allergies and reduced the occurrence of migraines. I still take Motrin when necessary to manage the pain of the migraines.
Since coming to Abundance Acupuncture I started feeling significant improvements in all of my health issues after about eight treatments. At this point in time my condition feels 90% better. I now feel less stuffed up from my allergies, my feet have very little skin peeling, I do not over heat as bad, and I have not had a migraine or a nosebleed since starting treatments. I can now play soccer and be very active without worrying about getting a migraine.
During the treatments I felt drowsy and relaxed. When the treatment is over I feel a little dizzy when I sit up, but then that passes and I feel energized. The clinic is very welcoming and the staff is very friendly. Jonah has made me feel very comfortable during all my treatments.
I would recommend acupuncture to anyone of any age because it will improve your quality of life.
Allergies
This problem made it difficult to focus or to think clearly. It was like walking around in a fog. I also had the annoyance of having to always carry large quantities of Kleenex around because my nose was always dripping. I was constantly congested and had itchy, watery eyes which irritated my contacts. I had headaches, especially between my eyes, which made it difficult for me to concentrate and work efficiently. I also noticed that I would become tired easily. I tried medications such as Claritin D, Allegra, Nasonex, and a sinus nasal rinse. The nasal rinse helped significantly but I still required daily meds.
I began to feel some improvements in my condition after 10 treatments at Abundance Acupuncture. At this point in time my condition feels 95% better. I am now headache free, my congestion is gone, and I am able to function normally. My thinking is clearer, my eyes do not itch anymore, and I rarely need to blow my nose. I am off the Claratin D, but continue to use the nasal rinse daily.
During the treatments I felt relaxed. Sometimes I could feel my sinuses draining as I rested. I looked forward to having my treatments. The office staff is welcoming and friendly. I would recommend acupuncture to allergy sufferers because I was able to control my allergy problems and improve my overall health.
Depression, Allergies, & Weight Loss
I tried medications such as tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitor antidepressants, and SSRI antidepressants which caused me to gain a lot of weight. The antidepressants also made it difficult to focus my mind and caused problems with my memory. I got some temporary relief from the hip and back pain with chiropractic and physical therapy, but the pain came back again.
I began to feel some improvements in my condition after two or three treatments by David Milbradt at Abundance Acupuncture. In February, after a month of treatments, I felt good enough to start reducing my antidepressant medications. At this point in time my condition feels 80% better. I have stopped taking all of my antidepressants and I now feel good again. I get up and get going everyday and have been able to start living my life again. I feel more comfortable around other people and I am not missing work anymore. I am even able to work 60 hour weeks again.
I have also had significant improvement in other symptoms like my acid reflux and irregular bowel movements. I have not had any migraines since I started treatments and have even lost 30 pounds! I stopped taking birth control pills (to control my migraines), stopped needing to take allergy medicine, and have not taken any Tylenol for pain.

My
name is Logan G., age 7. I came to Abundance Acupuncture in June 2007 because I
was suffering from migraines, nosebleeds, allergies, skin peeling on my feet,
and my body was over heating. I had this problem for four years. The
migraines would make my head pound really hard, the lights were too bright,
sounds were too loud, sometimes I would throw up and sleep for hours. My
nosebleeds correlated with my migraines. When spring and fall allergies came,
my migraines would increase. Because of these health problems I had
irritability, difficulty with sleeping and concentrating some days at school.
No matter where we went my parents had to bring children’s Motrin along in case
I would get a migraine. 
My
name is Vickie F. I came to Abundance Acupuncture in August, 2006 because I
was suffering from allergies, especially fall ragweed, but also grass, dust, and
cats. I had this problem for 30 years and even though I had tried allergy
shots for eight years I still required daily doses of Claritin D and nasal
sprays. 
My name is Margot Z. I came to Abundance
Acupuncture in January 2008 because I was suffering from depression and pain in
my low back and hip. The depression had been going on for 23 years and made me
feel miserable. My energy was low, I was easily overwhelmed, had difficulty
sleeping, was irritable, and I felt hopeless. Depression made it difficult for
me to socialize, exercise or be active, and I missed days from work because I
felt so fatigued. Everything was more difficult. The low back pain had bothered
me for 10 years and at times it reduced my mobility so severely that I was
unable to go anywhere or do anything.
