Acupuncture Treats Pain and Injury
Acupuncture alone can provide a simple, effective solution for a variety of pain conditions. Acupuncture treatment can also improve the healing of surgeries and injuries.
Additionally, acupuncture is typically painless, pleasant, and relaxing.
Since 1998, Lisa has specialized in the treatment of pain conditions and injuries and uses acupuncture alone to correct the structural imbalances that often lead to pain conditions and injuries.
The following pain, injury, and post-surgical conditions listed below can be effectively resolved with acupuncture.

Hip Misalignment with Pain and Limp, Corrected: My recent visit to Lisa was my first time trying acupuncture. It worked really well for me. The offices are centrally located, and have a calming, relaxing feel to them.
Lisa is a great listener and an expert care giver. She was able to zero in on underlying issues and get them corrected in just a couple of visits. I felt immediate relief after the acupuncture and am now no longer in pain.
I highly recommend Middle Path Acupuncture!

Elbow, knee, back pain & kidney stones: Lisa has treated me for multiple pain issues in my elbow, knee, groin, and back over the last few months. After remarkably few treatments focused on each site, the pains that I have had (in some cases for several years) are now gone. I have been amazed to learn that I didn’t need to live with aches and pains, and that they could be relieved without resorting to drugs.
For the past several years I have also suffered from several cases of kidney stones, and Lisa has treated me for that too. I have had significant relief in that area also, with positive results from my last imaging study.
I feel Lisa is an exceptionally talented acupuncture practitioner who is able to effectively treat a wide variety of issues, and have had real success under her care. I can very highly recommend both her practice and her care.

Trigger finger syndrome: I conversed with a surgeon about a very troubling condition of trigger finger syndrome. I had been bothered by this condition for about two years. I was told that surgery might help but there could also be a recurrence of the problem.
I was treated by Lisa in the year 2000, and after only 10 sessions of acupuncture, my problem was gone. I am completely symptom free of that malady at this time in the year 2018 with no recurrences, and having had no additional treatment of any kind for it. I am free of the scarring and side effects of drugs and surgery. I am certainly the healthier for it.

Low Back Injury: 3 years ago, I was playing rugby for Boston College as we were training for the collegiate national tournament. A few weeks prior, I had been hit hard during a game, leaving my back pretty messed up. I couldn't run or really bend over, so I went to see a few doctors. Had an X-Ray and even a CT scan done, but neither showed any abnormalities. Doctors cleared me, but I still was unable to practice due to the back pain. One of my friends suggested I try acupuncture since it had helped heal her shoulder from a sports injury as well. Wanting to compete in our national tournament yet somewhat skeptical of acupuncture, I decided to give it a go as my last resort.
After briefly observing my posture and movement, Lisa told me that my hips were misaligned, which is what caused the pain, and then went to work. During our sessions, I was still somewhat skeptical since I didn't really understand the mechanism through which acupuncture was helping. Nevertheless, after only 3 sessions and roughly within the span of a month, I'd progressed from not being able to run to fully practicing (minus contact at first), and eventually playing in the national tournament.
3 years later, I'm still so impressed that I felt the need to share this review. Highly recommend.

Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendinitis and Sleep Trouble: I came to Lisa with tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and sleep trouble. The first thing Lisa did, even before the diagnosis, was strongly suggest that I rest for the two weeks of treatment. No running. No weight lifting. No pickle ball. As my injuries were the result of overuse, and I wanted the treatment to work, I listened.
It’s been a little more than a month since my sessions and I’m thrilled that I feel much better. I’m back to my regular activities but this time with a little moderation. My sleep is even better!
Lisa is a wonderful practitioner. I’m so glad to have her on my team.

Small fiber neuropathy: I was referred to Lisa's practice by another acupuncturist near my home town. I was somewhat skeptical if acupuncture could help me recover from my condition, but I was desperate to try anything.
Over the course of 6 weeks, I went to the Emergency Room 5 times with a rare condition that came on suddenly. On the 5th visit, I was admitted into the hospital. Initially, I came in with numbness and muscle spasms in my limbs and other symptoms.
After the first session, I experienced less muscle spasms. Within a two-month period all of the symptoms of my condition have improved and I’m 90% back to myself. At one point, I did not think this was possible because the docs were unable to tell me how or when I would recover.
If you want to take your health into your own hands, see Lisa! Her treatments returned my health and my life to normal.

Whiplash & neck pain: Recently, I took a bad ski fall that resulted in my not being able to move my neck much. I was in excruciating pain for over a week and a half. Lisa told me I had whiplash, treated me, and the next day 98% of my pain was gone. Just like that. And it only got better from there. Amazing! I was so grateful. Thank you Lisa!

Herniated disc, sciatica: I had been experiencing extreme amounts of pain in my left leg due to a herniated disc in my back and the resulting sciatica. I was pretty much laying on the ground for most of the day and unable to walk, sit, or stand for any extended period of time.
Surgery had been recommended for this, but I heard acupuncture could be helpful so I thought I would give it a try. I experienced relief from Lisa's treatments after the second or third visit, and after 6 visits I was virtually pain free.
I strongly recommend Lisa's practice and acupuncture in general.

Pinched nerve, upper neck: I had a severe pinched nerve in my upper neck area (C4,C5,&T1) causing my ring and pinky finger to go numb. I went to MGH in Boston to see a back specialist. His treatment for this was an epidural cortisone shot. He stated that I would feel 85%-90% better, but would not regain feeling in my fingers.
After 4 treatments, the problem was gone. I’m happy to say that I have 100% feeling in my fingers, and I’m back to playing hockey with no ill effects.

Low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain: I have gone to Lisa on several occasions over the past 8 years or so, mostly for help with lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, and sciatica. Lisa is very professional and it has always been a pleasure being treated by her. In every case she has lessened or eliminated my pain, generally in a handful of sessions.
The first time I saw Lisa, I had been suffering from sciatica for over a year. At times, the pain was difficult to bear. I tried massage, physical therapy, other therapies, and meds. Nothing helped. After six sessions with Lisa I was nearly entirely pain free.
