To Whom it concerns: This letter is in regards to my belief in acupuncture, and Sheryl Sanchez, LAc, of the Acupuncture clinic: Heavenly Herbs

Many years ago, about twenty, I fell over a rug where I worked. It wasn’t put down correctly and it was up against the edge of a refrigerator. I twisted as I fell and ruptured a disc. Needless to say I had surgery on my spine. I did try relief with many appointments of traction, and therapy before surgery. It was my last hope. I did well for about a year but my pain continued to get worse. It actually caused me to drag one leg and my upper back always felt like there was a sharp pain right in the center. My doctor suggested Acupuncture. He confessed to not knowing much about it, but thought I should try everything if I didn’t want to take drugs for the pain. However, he made me promise I would go for at least five appointments.

Needless to say, I was scared, but wanted to try it. Not much happened in the way of relief until the third visit, I woke up and the pain in the center of my upper back was gone. As I continued the visits, the limp got better. I have been doing acupuncture ever since. It’s continued to be my way of daily having less pain, thus allowing me to continue my days in a more efficient manner.

I feel very blessed to having found Sheryl Sanchez, L.Ac., here in Paradise, Ca. While she is now my good friend, she is also very knowledgeable in herbs and acupuncture. When I am suffering, I am able to go, get acupuncture, and after two or three sessions, I am able to face the day again. Sheryl is a very professional, friendly and good person. She knows what she is doing and continues to be a part of my life. She is a welcome relief to a soul that’s hurting, for all pain, affects you in one way or another.

Sincerely,
Jo Ann Cantrell
