What was your biggest fear/concern prior to acupuncture? Did it come true, or if not, what happened instead?
The fear of needles and not fully understanding the treatment of acupuncture. Once Dr. Peterson explained the procedure in detail, I felt very comfortable and did not feel the needles during my treatment. It was surprisingly very relaxing.
What specifically were the biggest benefits of your treatment and why?
I was diagnosed with a kidney stone that was causing excruciating pain in my lower left side of my back. I have never experienced such pain before as I am a healthy woman.
After MD and ER evaluations, I was prescribed pain medication that did not help too much but made me sleep; feel nauseated and had to miss work. After day 3, I could not go another day feeling like this, all I kept saying was “I can’t take this anymore”. I then thought of acupuncture after I recently met Dr. Peterson at a networking event. I called Dr. Peterson and inquired if he could provide treatment for the pain I was having from a kidney stone. He assured me that he could help and accommodated me with an appointment right away.
After my treatment, I sat up from the table and I could honestly say that I no longer had the lower back pain, felt regenerated and could stand up straight. I even felt like fine enough to drive home as someone had to drive me to my appointment. Shortly after returning home, I “PASSED” the kidney stone! I felt tremendously better having no more pain and feeling like myself again. Amazing!
If you were to recommend Peterson to your best friend, what would you say?
Acupuncture is very beneficial, a wonderful alternative treatment rather than prescribed medications.
Is there anything more you’d like to add?
Peterson is a very considerate and compassionate person. He was very informative about the treatment of acupuncture and provided excellent care.
