Neck and Shoulder Pain

I have been coming to Gayle for about 2-3 years now for neck problems and allergy symptoms. She has been a wonderful health practitioner! About 2 weeks ago, I had a bike accident and strained my rotator cuff, bicep and tricep muscles and tendons. It was painful to dress, sleep, and do anything at all. Since my treatment yesterday, I\'ve had incredible range of motion! Getting dressed and undressed is relatively painless compared to the last two weeks! I even slept on that side of my shoulder last night -- and had my first good sleep since two weeks ago! I was hoping for SOME relief -- I actually went from about a "9" on the pain scale to a "4" or "5" after one treatment. I can't thank you enough.

Looking forward to more healing on this arm.

Back Pain

“My back pain started in Jan 2010 when I threw out my back while improperly stretching. I couldn't walk straight which indicated there was a serious problem. I went straight to my doctor who prescribed muscle relaxers and an anti-inflammatory. Sure it helped with the pain but once the meds wore off I could feel it again. I had heard about Acupuncture from a few friends but I'm not much into needles so I continued to try other methods, two chiropractors, an MRI and another doctor later, with no success. I decided to give it a try.

My friends had recommended Devon. I went to her and became an instant believer. It took only about two sessions and my back pain was elevated and the relief lasted for months. I was able to go skiing and participate in my life again! I recently reinjured by back and went straight back to Devon for treatment, and it worked! Thanks Devon and North Park Acupuncture!!”

Skin Care

Initially I came to Gayle for a full body rash that could not be figured out by my MD or by a dermatologist...gayle had the rash figured out the source of the problem gone after two weeks treatment...it was a huge relief both physically and mentally.

Her knowledge and technique far exceeded my expectations.

Since then I come to Gayle for all kinds of ailments including headaches, indigestion, and the common cold.

I have also strongly recommended her services to many of my close friends and they have had amazing success as well.

She is nothing less than amazing...if you are considering treatment, gayle is definitely your provider, I have no doubt she help you feel at ease.

Morning Sickness

"I went to Devon during my first trimester in pregnancy. She was extremely professional, and put me at ease immediately. I was not feeling well, due to a combination of nausea and stress. Devon gave me multiple treatments, including moxibustion, massage and acupuncture. She also asked the right questions, and encouraged me to relax. After our sessions, the symptoms I had were alleviated; I felt de-stressed! She also ordered me a Chinese herb to help with nausea. I was delighted to find that it helped tremendously. I would recommend Devon (and have) without question. She is a very knowledgeable, detail-oriented and talented acupuncturist."

~ Cindy C

Well I'm currently in my second trimester of pregnancy, and have had an awful case of morning sickness, which lasts 24 hours a day! This has been no fun. I've exhausted all remedies put forward by my Doctor. With that being said, I turned to acupuncture. Thanks to caring friends, Devon was highly recommended.

Ever since coming to Devon, my nausea has lifted, and I feel back to being excited about my pregnancy! Every time I come in Devon makes me feel so relaxed, and calm. Might I also add that the atmosphere far exceeds any doctor's office, and leaves me in a peaceful state! I appreciate all the effort from Devon, and North Park Acupuncture!

Excruciation Pain

Dear Friends -

Before starting with Gayle I was in excruciation pain from my sciatic nerve. I had no relief from conventional medicine.

After being evaluated and cared for by Gayle my pain level dropped from a high 8 to 0. Wonderful isn't it? If you're in doubt about how acupuncture works Gayle can clearly answer all your questions.

During my treatments she has been able to help me with many other ailments other than just pain. She uses acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and nutritional supplements, I find myself feeling very active and well for an 84 yr od lady.

My day starts and ends with a prayer of gratitude for Dr Gayle and her staff for always being there for me with knowledge and attention.

Please don't wait and suffer needlessly, for optimal health the best acupuncturist is right at your fingertip at 619-294-6616.

If you are still in doubt after reading this testimonial and want to talk with me, get my phone # from Gayle or Tina.

A very appreciative patient
Sincerely,

Tennis Elbow

“I was treated for tennis elbow. I’ve never had acupuncture treatment before I met Devon. I don’t like needles. Devon knows what she is doing and I feel better after my treatments. Highly recommended!”

Pregnancy

Gayle helped me with Bell’s Palsy in my third trimester. My OB said there was nothing they could do. But with acupuncture, I was able to regain the use of my facial muscles.

~ Kris Hoyt

I had carpal tunnel during pregnancy and acupuncture really took away the pain and swelling.

Infertility

“Finding Devon was a true blessing! After stopping birth control, I had gone 8 months without getting a period. I was frustrated and feeling powerless and decided to try acupuncture as a means to restore my cycle. This was my first acupuncture experience and I found it to be very relaxing and therapeutic. Devon was very warm and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the practice. After four weeks of seeing Devon I got my period and four weeks later learned that I was expecting my first child! It was a miracle and I attribute it all to Devon!”

Insomnia

I started going to Gayle over a year ago for insomnia. Within weeks, my sleep improved greatly but I have continued to go once a month for stress reduction (and any other ailment that has come up!) I so look forward to my visits.

Gayle is a lovely person and I always leave feeling amazing.
