Testimonial

David

I am a 32 year old married male who has suffered with bouts of insomnia most of my adult life. It usually comes on during times when my stress increases due to work, economic issues, or typical family concerns.

I have seen an acupuncturist before, for my low back pain, but this was the first time I decided to get treatment for my insomnia. I had met Alex before, at a social encounter, and called for an appointment. He was able to explain the insomnia in a clear way so I could understand where my “imbalance” was, and then began treating me.

It took several treatments to get me to start sleeping better (5 total), but I have been able to sleep much better and feel more rested when I wake-up.

Thank you Alex.
