In This Issue:
Acupuncture has been shown to be remarkably effective in reducing and managing pain. Do you or someone you know deal with chronic or acute pain? We treat pretty much everything. There will be an on-site demonstration where we will take a couple of volunteers and, using a variety of techniques, reduce or eliminate the pain, all while they are sitting in their chair.
If you know of anyone who is open to treating pain differently than they have in the past, please feel free to bring them. It will take place on:
October 10, Tuesday, from 7 to 8:30 at the Merritt Acupuncture office.
Please RSVP as space is very limited and filling up quickly – call our office to reserve your spot!
This will be the first in a series of talks about your health, and we’ll let you know the dates and topics of the upcoming ones in our newsletter.
No needles necessary! Pediatric treaments can help your child with allergies, weak digestion, ear aches and show you, the parents, how to treat your child at home.
Kids can heal much faster than adults and Oriental medicine can help with that. Are you tired of giving your child antibiotics? Of not knowing what alternative ways might exist to treat your child? Will Mitchell specializes in treating children. Your child’s treatment will consist of an evaluation of your child’s health from an Oriental medicine perspective, a treatment that does NOT involve the insertion of needles (whew!) and the most important part: teaching you, the parent, the special Chinese Tuina (Twee-nah) massage techniques that help to strengthen your child’s constitution. Children enjoy the massage so much that they often start asking for it themselves. In fact, this seems to be the opposite of the traditional pediatrician visit – we run on schedule, Will takes his time with your child and does not rush through treatments, he sends you home with skills that you can implement yourself, and your child starts becoming overall healthier, instead of only treating the surface symptoms.
Consider your child’s overall health – it is NOW that their system can be balanced and made strong, so that in the future, they have a better chance of staying healthy.
How can we help your child?
We’ve had many people ask us how we can make a difference with their long-distance friends and family members. We’ve started a program to do just that.
Who do you know who would like to REVERSE OSTEOPOROSIS? Or who wants to treat their thyroid without synthetic drugs? Who needs some counseling in nutrition and food choices? Who needs more energy? Who is trying to heal anything from cancer to reflux? We can work with all of that, plus more.
We realized that much of the knowledge and information that we have was limited to the patients to whom we were speaking. And that even though we could refer people to acupuncturists in different parts of the country, what sets us apart is our expanded practice in whole food nutrition, and the education we have in Western medicine and how to work with it as well as providing alternatives. With this thought in mind, we’ve established a service to provide both the education/consultation as well as the supplementation.
What this entails is a full consultation on the phone regarding the paperwork that the patient has filled out and faxed back, a clear conversation of what is working and not working in this person’s health, a detailed description of a treatment plan, and shipment of whatever necessary supplements are needed. Additionally, we will mail or email any handouts or information that we have that might be helpful. Then follow-up consultations are set so that we can support this person however possible.
Who do you know who could benefit from this service? This is how we treat our own family and friends, and we would like to make the difference to yours also. We are really committed to being able to help as many people as possible as this is one way of doing that. Please let us know how we can help.
I have been suffering from foot pains for years, ever since I started working in the restaurant business. This industry requires a person to be on their feet for long hours, and until I met Marlene Merritt, I never thought I’d be rid of it. After only two visits, my pain went away completely. The real test came a few weeks ago when I worked 8 hours a day for 5 days straight in the restaurant. At the end of each day I anticipated foot pain, but 6 o’clock came, and no pain.
THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU! I was always very skeptical of acupuncture and didn’t want to try it out, but after hearing so many success stories from your other patients, I gave it a try, and I am so glad I did.
Thanks again,
