“diagnosed with endometriosis and following laparoscopic surgery, I struggled with severe pelvic pain and cramps.” Imogen

Since being diagnosed with endometriosis at the start of the year and following laparoscopic surgery for treatment, I struggled with severe pelvic pain and cramps. The pain and medication required to manage the pain itself were hugely impacting my life. Some days I was unable to get out of bed without strong pain medication. I decided to try acupuncture after being recommended by a friend and trying all other alternatives treatments.

Within two months, acupuncture had given my life back to me. I am now pain-free and am no longer reliant on medication to manage my condition. I have been able to exercise pain-free again and attend university, and work no longer worrying about potential pelvic pain or cramps.

Thank you,

“significant reduction in the severity of my headaches and migraines” Merle

After suffering from debilitating headaches and neck and shoulder pain for many years, and having already tried various forms of therapy such as massage, physiotherapy, and chiropractic manipulations – all of which proved ineffective – I became frustrated with my inability to function adequately. At my wits’ end with the pain, I decided to put my skepticism about acupuncture to one side and scheduled an appointment with Dr Vitalis acupuncture in Auckland.

Prior to visiting Dr Vitalis, I took painkillers on a daily basis and struggled with stress from my demanding job, poor sleep, nausea, and chronic neck and shoulder pain, as well as exhausting headaches and migraines. I had resigned myself to an existence of using painkillers and a heated wheat bag numerous times a day just to alleviate the severe pain I felt every day.

After just four sessions of acupuncture with Vitalis, my sleeping patterns improved, and I noticed a significant reduction in the severity of my headaches and migraines. Although my neck and shoulder pain is still noticeable, it’s now more tolerable, and I’m better able to cope with daily life stressors, thanks to Vitalis. He’s put a semblance of normality back into my life. I highly and unequivocally recommend Vitalis’s acupuncture practice to anyone. I encourage people to put their skepticism about acupuncture to one side so that they can experience the numerous benefits of this therapy, particularly for headaches and migraines.

Sincerely,

“I am no longer taking anti-inflammatory drugs or painkillers” Avon Hansen Beadle

I was at my wit’s end with very severe arthritis in both hands, which was a side effect of a drug prescribed after my breast cancer surgery. Prior to that, quite some time ago, I had developed a large seroma under my arm as a result of having lymph nodes removed, and my body was not draining all the fluid properly. Dr. Vitalis was able to address the seroma, so when my hands started bothering me, I naturally went back to him.

I saw my GP who prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs that helped, but I knew I couldn’t stay on them forever. I needed to be more proactive about my treatment.

I decided to see Dr. Vitalis again because I had had success with acupuncture years ago. I was frustrated and exhausted from the pain and lack of sleep, so I Googled him and made an appointment. Dr. Vitalis was quietly professional and caring, which was exactly what I needed.

Initially, I noticed a gentle improvement in my flexibility, but after a few days, I could sense my hands and mood improving as well. The dexterity in my fingers has returned, and I am no longer taking anti-inflammatory drugs or painkillers.

I would recommend Dr. Vitalis to all of my friends as his treatment has been very effective for me.
