Benefits of Acupuncture

The truth is, I was never a believer in acupuncture. After suffering with piriformis pain for years, and after several recommendations from fellow triathletes, I decided to give it a try.
Much to my surprise, the pain was alleviated almost immediately. I run pain free now and go back for any acute pain, which always gets resolved. I don’t have time to be injured with all the training I’m doing. You have been a lifesaver!! Thank you so much, Holly!! You are the best and I would recommend you to anyone!!

I have been having problems with my lower back and hips on and off for the last 5 years and massages were the only temporary relief I got until I started seeing Holly Green. Who would’ve ever a thought needles in my glute and lower back would alleviate that. Thanks so much for fitting me in on my Florida trips and helping to extend my baseball career that’ has been hindered by injuries. You’re the best Holly!

Holly, I AM SO EXCITED! I had the least painful run I’ve had in YEARS!!! You are AWESOME!! I can’t thank you enough. I feel so much better about my race. I’m just so excited. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

I have been going to Holly Green for over a year now for various injuries, aches and pains associated with the training for Long Distance triathlons. I find that nothing helps better for sports related issues than a combination of acupuncture and massage. Holly is amazing at both. No matter what issue I have encountered, I leave her office feeling better every time! It is most helpful to go immediately or soon after noticing symptoms of a problem when she can help quickly to avoid it becoming a chronic condition. I would highly recommend Holly Green for any athlete trying to improve performance, avoid injury!

Three years after a serious motorcycle accident, my recovery had stagnated with traditional therapy. Due to the nature of the injury, I had lost mobility in my left forearm. Acupuncture was a method of treatment I was curious to try. Within a few visits I saw noticeable results. I feel my recovery has been reignited and I look forward to the possibilities from each visit. Thanks Holly!

Holly Green has consistently helped reduced the time I’ve lost to sports injuries. Her integrated use of acupuncture, massage therapy, and energy work have significantly relieved the pain in my body and definitely sped up the healing process. She is, without a doubt, just what the doctor ordered.

I had been having headaches for years and treating them with prescriptions and over the counter pain relievers. Somebody suggested I try an acupuncturist and recommended Holly Green to me and my wife. After the first visit, I began noticing a decrease in the amount and severity of the headaches. Holly is a caring and pleasant person who has definitely made a difference.

Both my husband and I have been seeing Holly Green for acupuncture for a variety of issues. She has been able to help relieve my symptoms of everything from headaches to menstrual cramps. She is knowledgeable as well as caring. I always leave a session feeling relieved and energized.

For the last two years, I’ve been suffering from nerve damage after a car accident that caused extreme itching on some of my fingers. I tried every cream, lotion, steroid, and medication recommended by my dermatologist and neurologist. None of the treatments worked. Finally, after several of my friends recommended I get acupuncture, I decided to give it a try, despite my strong dislike & fear of needles. To my amazement, after only a few sessions of acupuncture with Holly, I’m finally starting to get better! I wish I had tried this two years ago!

On April 20, 2011 at 11:30 pm, I was placed into the neurological critical care unit at NYC Medical Center. I had just gone through 10 hours of neurosurgery to remove a brain tumor from the right side of my head. The tumor measured about 1 1/4 inch and was completely wrapped around my 7th cranial nerve. In order to completely remove it, surgeons has to forcibly manipulate my 7th nerve (facial nerve) leaving it in a severe state of trauma. The right side of my face was paralyzed and I could not blink or smile. The lip and eye had sagged and the appearance was identical to Bells Palsy. I wasn’t feeling very good or looking my best. After 4 months of being patient, daily facial exercises and vitamin therapy I sought acupuncture and Holly started treatment. Its been two months since my first visit with Holly and now muscle tone has returned & eye and lip are almost back to normal position. Most importantly, for the first time since April 20th, I have some movement of my entire face. I give Holly 100% credit for my progress, her dedication to assist me, personalized treatment plan and her knowledge of acupuncture are greatly appreciated.
