I had a back injury in 2020 that lead me to being bed ridden for about 2 months and over the years I have had continuous flare ups. Nothing seemed to help. Every time I’d start in the gym regularly to strengthen my core in hopes of reducing low back pain I would end up injuring myself again over minor things. It was so frustrating.
I was finally able to get an MRI after about 3 years of dealing with this constantly disrupting my life in all aspects. I found out I have bulging disks and some lesions on my lower spine. Every so often a flare up would leave me so inflamed and tight I couldn’t walk.
I’ve been seeing Michiah Tobin down in Fortuna for regular acupuncture & I just want to share my experience here. When I came to her I was in a pretty bad flare and couldn’t work. Standing, sitting & driving we’re all so painful, I just wanted to stay in bed with my ice and heat but needed help and knew I had to do something! When I left my fist appointment with her, I felt a world of difference immediately and the drive home was not painful like my drive there had been.
I have continued to see her every other week since August. It’s been about 7 months of consistent acupuncture and I’ve been working, going to school & mom-ing like a champ without skipping a beat!
I owe it all to Michiah, truly. I have missed two appointments in the last 7 months & each time I regret it because I can feel a difference in my body. She has such a comforting presence and really makes you feel so at peace and relaxed in a session. She is very attentive & knowledgeable since she’s been in practice since the 90’s.
Did you know you can use acupuncture for everything from physical ailments, mental/emotional imbalances, fertility issues, illness and so much more!?
