Chronic Back Pain after 3 back surgeries

Several years ago, my neurosurgeon referred me to Shabnam after I was in a very severe car accident that left me needing multiple spine surgeries. I had headaches so bad that I could barely open my eyes, severe neck and back pain, and was unable to even drive myself to my appointments. I saw improvements after just a few treatments. Since then, I have continued to see Shabnam and she has treated me for a wide variety of conditions. Shabnam is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. She carefully listens to what I have to say and comes up with a variety of ways to treat my problems. Shabnam has not only treated me with acupuncture, but also with herbs, ear seeds, and relaxation techniques. Recently she used a specially made herbal patch that she placed on my lower back. I got much more relief out of it than I expected. I would say I got almost as much relief from it as I have gotten from some epidurals I have had in the past, without any side effects. She also places ear seeds on my ears, which have helped me quite a bit. When she first used them, I didn’t think they were helping that much. Once she stopped, I realized just how much they actually did help reduce my pain and had her start using them on me again. Shabnam keeps track of all of my medical issues, and has referred me to medical specialists when I needed it. Her referrals were definitely top notch doctors. She also communicates with my other doctors in order to maximize my care, and has been my advocate when I needed it most. For example, when my blood pressure shot up for apparently no reason, it was Shabnam who figured out that it was due to one of my medications. Once I stopped taking it, my blood pressure went back down to normal. My friends and family ask me why I drive so far to see Shabnam. My answer is simple…”Because she takes excellent care of me and helps reduce my pain better than anything else I have tried.” I tried other acupuncturists closer to my home, but never got even close to the pain relief that I get when I see Shabnam.
