“I had my reservations when I was first referred to acupuncture”

But I can honestly say after a couple of sessions with Chis I was quickly convinced of the benefits and amazing results. I'm happy to say that the results have enabled me to be active again and finally free of pain. I highly recommend it and it is definitely worth it in my opinion.
