I came to Raleigh Acupuncture in desperation.  My GYN told me I had three large fibroids in my uterus and abdomen. I knew there was something wrong because I was having abdominal pain all the time and always looked and felt bloated.  She said that because of their size they would have to be surgically removed.  I did not want surgery and also did not want the risk of needing a hysterectomy. I looked into medical options and read about acupuncture.  My cousin had been to Raleigh Acupuncture and recommended them.  So I tried it.  All I can say is that the fibroids have now shrunk to the point where there is no longer discomfort and my GYN says there is no need to remove them surgically.  It’s a bit of a mystery to me how they did it, but my acupuncture doctor says they treat this quite frequently with a high rate of success.  Moving forward I will have my GYN keep track of any fibroids.  If they return or new ones develop I will get them treated with acupuncture.  I highly recommend this practice for the treatment of fibroids.  I feel very lucky that I sought out this option before getting surgery.

My mom found Raleigh Acupuncture for my sister when she was ready to deliver her baby.  She went two times and had her baby, no problems.  So when I was due, that’s where we went.  It took just one treatment for me!  It’s a good thing too because I was ready!!!  They treated me real nice and it didn’t hurt.  I fell asleep during the treatment.

When I was pregnant 6 weeks I got terrible nausea and vomiting.  I could not hold anything down.  I started losing weight after two weeks and my doctor put me on medications.  But I was still vomiting every day and felt awful.  I found Raleigh Acupuncture and they treated me three times.  It totally stopped the nausea and vomiting.  I stopped my medications, and the rest of my pregnancy had no problems.  They said this was an easy thing to treat.  I wish I had known about it from the beginning of my pregnancy.
