What are patients saying about McBride Healing?

I have been suffering from lower back pain since the fourth grade.   Over the years I have used hot pads,
cold packs, pain killers, and chiropractic treatments all with varying degrees of success.  It has always
been important for me to be watch what I do or pay the price.  In the fall of 2007 my back went out .   The
pain was very intense but I was even more mad because I knew recovery would mean two to three
weeks of constant pain, lots of ibuprofen, and looking funny because I could not stand up straight.  My
wife said to give acupuncture a try.  I called and Kelly was able to treat me later that day.  After 45
minutes I was amazed that I could stand up and the pain was considerable decreased.  It only took
three days to fully recover.  Though periodic maintenance visits I have greatly reduced my back worries.  
Picking up and carrying my 3 and 5 year old kids in no longer a risky act it once was.  I am now hooked
and a big believer in acupuncture.

I experienced pain and discomfort in my right arm for about 10 years, commonly called tennis elbow .I
tried an elbow brace, a wrist brace and pain medication, to no avail, it was always a constant. I never
thought I would be  free from the pain,and actually thought that because I was 50, this was how  things
turned out. Tarah wanted to treat my problem with acupuncture and I  was more than willing to try
anything that would allow me to be free from the annoyance and the pain. After three treatments I was
pain free, and I mean completely. That was more than five years ago, and still, I can't believe it. Well, I do
believe it, because I understand what acupuncture actually does. I now receive treatments on a regular
basis for any heath issue I may have and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I have been having severe low back problems for over ten years and have gone to many specialists,
used a VAX machine, Tens apparatus, etc.   I had an operation 5 years ago, which took nine hours,
fused four discs, left a scar about 6 inches long both front and back.  I had been on strong medication,
even after the operation.  Now I have been getting acupuncture from Kelly McBride for several years and
it keeps the pain to levels which I can live with.  I am so grateful for having someone so knowledgeable
within a close driving distance.

For the past 10 plus years I have struggled with knee pain and about seven years ago had surgery.  
There were significant problems with the surgery recovery and the knee pain progressively got worse.  I
tried various therapies and exercises and received very little long lasting relief.  I made an appointment
with Kelly to address my pain issue.  Something wonderful happened at the second session!  I can’t
explain it but when I stood up the knee pain had disappeared…and it is still gone…and that was seven
months ago!!  I highly recommend acupuncture for pain control!

I went to Kelly McBride for problems associated with carpal tunnel and pain in my upper arm from
“computer over-use.”  While I know this is a common problem these days, I was concerned because
those who elected surgery for this condition did not appear to be getting the relief they sought and
continued to have post-operative pain.  Invasive surgery was simply not an option I wanted to consider
and I decided I would rather live with the pain and numbness in my hand than take on the lengthy and
not always successful recovery that seems to follow this kind of treatment.

My experience with Kelly was unlike any I had ever had in western medicine.  I felt she understood my
problems because she took the time to find out all about me.  Her gentle tones, her calming demeanor,
the comfort of her surroundings and the energy I felt she put into my healing did even more than cure the
pain in my arm and the numbness in my hand.  I can now drive pain-free; sleep soundly at nights
without being woken up by a hand so “fast asleep” it ached; and I can now sit through long events
without deep, constant pain traveling down my arm.  I also found the peace and assurances of relief that
Kelly gave helped me feel in greater control of my own healing.

Please consider visiting with Kelly, even just to talk to her, so you can learn more about how she can
help you manage your own health.  I can guarantee you it will be time well spent.

Hot flashes, night sweats and general unease have plagued me for years.  Working with Kelly has done
wonders. I now can be in the same room with everyone else without saying "Do you think it's hot in
here."  I still have lots of layers of health issues that have built up over the past fifty something years, but
over time, the healing has been remarkable.

I went to Kelly McBride because I needed relief from injuries sustained back in the military in the late
1980’s.  The types of injuries and their lasting effects ranged from separated shoulders (both twice) as
well as a severely broken ankle.  Over the last decade these injuries have continued to pose problems
that were not resolved by traditional medicine (chiropractic etc..). After seeing Kelly at first once or twice a
week these nagging pains were gone and the pain far more manageable to non-existent.  She has also
done wonders for my sleep cycle.  I had been having issues of waking up at 3am consistently and not
being able to get back to sleep.  These sessions have dramatically reduced that to where I am now
getting a sound 7-8 hours per night.  Go see Kelly, you won’t regret it.
