Testimonial
"I have been having acupuncture treatment with Ivy for 6 weeks, having gone to see her in severe knee pain.
My legs, knees & ankles were severely swollen & I was having difficulty walking, my Dr had suggested more pain killers on top of what I was already taking, as I was loathed to take more, I looked for alternative options.
The day I found Ivy’s number was the day my life with knee pain changed for the better.
I have also found that Ivy’s vast knowledge has helped me in other areas of my day to day life, diet & exercise suggestions have helped me to ensure that my knee pain will not become worse & I now know that the option of a knee replacement is no longer an option, acupuncture will now always my 1st choice
I would highly recommend acupuncture with Ivy & look forward to July when I will be able to discuss herbal medicine options."
