I have to say, I was very skeptical about having Acupuncture.
I didn't think it would help my daily Vertigo. Not to mention, I have a borderline
phobia of needles. However, Dr. Lopes was sensitive to my fear and incredibly gentle.
I hardly felt the needles go in. Also, the needles are small. She was very informative.
I learned much about my bodily systems, how they all work together or not, and which points
would help with my condition. She also put a few painless needles in to help ease my feelings
of anxiety over the whole operation. When she finished needling, she dimmed the lights, placed a
small heater on my feet to keep me warm, and played a relaxing assortment of music you might
hear in a Yoga/Meditation studio. Surprisingly, I fell asleep. Finally, her office is calming
and offers an assortment of organic high-quality teas to sip on while you're waiting. I feel
it was the most pleasant experience I have ever had in a doctors office. The best part of it all?
My Vertigo was gone the very next day and has stayed away since (It's been about ten months
since this visit)!
