After four months of pain and severe swelling from an injury to my foot, I decided to go see Mary Houge. I told her when I first injured my foot; I went to the emergency room because I thought I broke my foot. I had fallen on my foot with all my body weight. To my surprise the doctor said it was just a severe sprain. They instructed me to stay off of it and just to keep it elevated to reduce the swelling. I had to take two weeks off from work to be able to stay off of it and keep it elevated.
Weeks then months went by without any improvement to my foot. I could still barely stand, it was still too swollen to wear a shoe, and the pain was unbearable. I decided to go back to the doctor. They sent me home with pain medication and told me to stay off from it and time would heal it.
I decided to let Mary work her magic and try acupuncture. After the very first treatment my foot was 80% better. The pain was gone, the swelling was down, and I could actually wear shoes again. I went back to Mary for three more treatments; my sprain and pain were completely gone. It has been almost a year now and I have absolutely no foot problems or pain at all.
Thanks Mary you did more than you’ll ever know!!!
