I had badly twisted my ankle at the beach and was unable to walk without a cane. Standing with the cane for any length of time was excruciating and it even made me feel faint and nauseous. Dr. Irene gave me one acupuncture treatment the next day and I was immediately able to walk again. It was astounding how instantly the pain was reduced to almost nothing. She told me to still take it easy since the tendons and ligaments were still healing, but I was able to go about my daily life and chores with little difficulty and no cane. The day after the treatment I was able to go up and down several flights of stairs in my internship, where I was sure before the treatment I would have to stay home. Dr. Irene is amazing at what she does and is very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with health problems.
