31-year-old Alexis suffered chronic back pain that came from years of high-intensity workouts. He tried therapy after therapy but felt all the care options only masked his discomfort. That is until he had his first acupuncture treatment at Neighborhood.
“I discovered some of the sports athletes I follow got acupuncture regularly and thought I should give it a try,” said Alexis. “I admit it was a bit scary to think about needles helping to relieve pain, but I knew this would be for my own good and I’m not the only one feeling that way. I’m glad I made that first appointment. It’s been a blessing ever since!”
By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can alleviate pain and help treat various health conditions. Acupuncture benefits include reduced frequency of headaches, chronic pain relief, assistance in cancer and chemotherapy recovery, and more.
Alexis, a Neighborhood patient since 2021, receives regular acupuncture sessions through the organization’s Date Street Escondido office licensed acupuncturists.
“Neighborhood has been in the community for a long time. There’s a reason for that,” said Alexis. “The environment is always welcoming, and their services are great. I must give everyone I’ve encountered their ‘flowers’ of praise. I’m a big fan of what they do and how they do it!”
Alexis now actively recruits others to become Neighborhood patients, including many of his immediate and extended family members. “When friends ask about my experience, I tell them they should give Neighborhood a chance. I trust them to care for my family and me. I hope that speaks to how much I look up to the organization!”
