Joyce: Six Years of Pain, Finally Sleeping Through the Night 

 

Joyce suffered from severe back, neck, and shoulder pain for over six years.

It got to the point where she could not even sleep in bed.

"I was sleeping on my right side, and my neck and shoulder would kill me," Joyce said. "I turned over to my left side, and my lower back and hip would hurt. So I was up and down at night, from the sofa to the bed and back and forth."

She was worn out all the time—from the pain and from the lack of rest.

The Turning Point

Joyce went to her primary care physician. She explained the situation. He checked her over. Then he gave her a sheet of exercises to do.

"That was the extent of what he did for me," Joyce said.

She did the exercises. But she received no relief. There was no healing at all.

Her daughter is an occupational therapist. Her son-in-law works in physical therapy. They gave her the name of Dr. Na—through word-of-mouth.

"I learned about her, and it is just the best thing that happened to me," Joyce said.

The Treatment

Dr. Na treated Joyce with acupuncture—the same protocol that awakens and balances the body's systems and promotes circulation.

The Outcome

"I just can't believe in the short amount of time that I've been going to her how wonderful my shoulder feels and my lower back," Joyce said.

She can sleep in bed all night long now.

"I can lay on my side that has the shoulder pain that did have the shoulder pain and neck pain," she said. "I can turn over to my other side and my lower back, and it feels good."

She can bend and move with no pain in her lower back. She can lift her grandson. She can vacuum. She can use her shoulder without it bothering her.

"This is really a wonderful healing experience for me," Joyce said. "It's just not where you're taking a drug to cover the symptoms of what's really bothering you. It's actually—I feel she is healing me."

What Joyce's Story Shows

Joyce suffered from severe back, neck, and shoulder pain for over six years. She could not sleep. She was exhausted. She went to her doctor. He gave her an exercise sheet.

Then she found Dr. Na. And everything changed.

She can sleep through the night. She can lift her grandson. She can move without pain. And she knows the difference between covering up symptoms and actually healing.

"It's just not where you're taking a drug to cover the symptoms of what's really bothering you," she said. "It's actually—I feel she is healing me."

That is the difference. Dr. Na did not give Joyce a drug to mask her pain. She found the root and treated it. And Joyce healed.

This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Because the treatment follows a pattern, it can be taught. Because it can be taught, it can be passed on.

This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.

And it began with a patient who was told to just do some exercises -- and who found real healing instead.
