Not sure if we can help?
Call us. Part of our job is telling you honestly when acupuncture is a good fit, how long it is likely to take and when another kind of care should come first. As one patient with tinnitus wrote: "I was told right up front that there is a 50/50 chance that it could help. I really appreciated the honesty."
