“After about two months of group acupuncture, I woke up one morning and it was like everything had been lifted.”

How Calvin Found Relief Through Acupuncture

Although he once thought it was “voodoo,” Calvin Brown is now a big believer of acupuncture. Calvin, from St. Cloud, had been dealing with chronic sinusitis for a while. He had tried antibiotics, Allegra and several different nasal sprays but found no relief.

Through work, his wife discovered the group acupuncture sessions at CentraCare Acupuncture. She decided to go there for pain in her arm. After finding success, she recommended that Calvin try it for his sinuses.

 "I gave it a try and my acupuncturist told me that my body wasn’t moving fluid efficiently, and that I would need to be patient with the process,” said Calvin. “After about two months of group acupuncture, I woke up one morning and it was like everything had been lifted.”

Calvin continues to attend group acupuncture for sinuses, when needed, and for some sciatic problems in his hip. He is now back to kayaking, cross-country skiing and enjoying the outdoors.

“I am feeling better, I am sleeping better and I am spending more time outside. If traditional medicine hasn’t been working for you, I would highly recommend acupuncture. Listen to recommendations from the acupuncture professional and be patient,” he said.

Calvin followed his treatment plan and over time he saw the result that he thought he wouldn’t be able to achieve.

The goal of acupuncture is to help you resolve long-standing, stubborn conditions that have been causing pain or discomfort and have been slow to respond to other treatments. Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health as a safe, effective and drug-free therapy.
