After trying both physiotherapy and massage therapy for sciatic pain with disappointing results, I tried acupuncture. And I just recently finished five acupuncture treatments with Demi Palmer at Equilibrium. Demi is a gentle, skilled practitioner. She demonstrated compassion toward me and interest in my problem. But perhaps most importantly, the treatments work. Demi encouraged me to set a goal at the beginning of our treatment (half-an-hour of pain-free walking) and I have surpassed that goal. She explained everything fully, asked questions of me to determine treatment, and answered all of my questions. She even provided follow up emails twice–once after a session that ended up triggering strong emotions. She just wanted to check out how I was feeling. She is genuinely kind. I was surprised at how much I love acupuncture. Although there is some discomfort involved, overall the needling sensations are delicious and lying on the heated bed is very relaxing. I walk away feeling that healing has taken place. I highly recommend Demi and Equilibrium (the front desk staff are friendly and helpful). I had an extremely positive experience.
