Pain Relief

"When I came to see Anne for pelvic and low-back pain, I was taking prescription pain medicine every day, just to get through the day. I had been to a gynecologist, urogynecologist, urologist and a gastroenterologist, none of whom could determine the cause of my pain. I tried several different treatment remedies prescribed by the physicians, none of which eased the pain. After exploratory surgery found nothing, and I was in despair and at my wit’s end, my gynecologist suggested acupuncture as a possible treatment route. He gave me Anne’s name and number. After several months of treatment, I no longer needed the pain medicine. I have been seeing Anne regularly for two years, and I’ve never felt better. I have to admit that I was a skeptic at first, but I now wholeheartedly believe in and embrace Chinese Medicine for the healing of mind, body and soul.
Anne is truly a miracle worker!"

"Anne has treated my physical pains - sinus, bunion, back and knee, to name a few - as well as my everyday stress and anxiety with acupuncture. I always leave her office in the most relaxed mood and get the best night's sleep after a session. She helps me stay grounded. I've been seeing Anne for over two years. I look forward to each appointment knowing how good I'll feel after each treatment."

"About four years ago I developed tennis elbow from using the mouse at work. I went to the doctor and received a cortisone shot which helped for awhile but ended up having 3 subsequent cortisone shots, each after about every six months as the pain always came back. I also tried different mouse designs and keyboards, but they did not help. A friend of mine told me he had tried Anne Crowley’s acupuncture treatment for tennis elbow and had been cured; so I gave her a call. Within a few months my tennis elbow was gone and it has never returned. I’m now back to a regular mouse and keyboard again, with no problems. I continue to see Anne because her approach is comprehensive, treating the whole body and mind and not just the elbow or specific pain symptoms. Her acupuncture treatments help me relax and think more clearly as she treats my underlying “self”, which improves everything. I recommend her to anyone who seeks a calmer, more centered sense of control over their lives."

"Acupuncture, with Anne, has healed the pain in my legs from nerve damage, enhanced my breathing, and cured my pain from a sore throat. Overall, I feel more peaceful and healthy!"

"I had knee pain, which made playing golf difficult, even with a cart. Now I am able to walk the course without pain."

"Anne is a wonderful acupuncturist! I feel relaxed, motivated and centered after a treatment. When I developed carpal tunnel syndrome, I consulted Anne about relieving it before I committed to a surgery. A few sessions of acupuncture healed it and I don't need surgery."

"I'm a retired military officer in my 50's, I was lucky enough to have been very healthy and active most of my life. I've flown airplanes in the military and civilian sectors, as well as running, exercising, and playing sports. I would normally workout 3-4 times a week and play volleyball 2-3 nights a week.
About a year and a half ago, I started to get severe back and hip pain. It got to the point that I couldn't work out or even think about playing volleyball. After trying the chiropractor, physical therapy, and about all the medication you can image, I decide to listen to my wife.
My wife had 2 spinal fusions and has suffered with severe back issues for about 20 years. She had gone to Anne for treatment and with amazing results. She feels much better and is able to do many things that she couldn't have done without Anne's help.
I finally started to visit Anne about a year ago. She has done cupping, needles and light therapy to try to get me back in motion. I'm now able to work and function without the severe back pain I once had. While my pain is not completely gone, her treatments have improved my quality of life 100%.
If you've failed to get the results you need by traditional medical science, I would highly recommend you try acupuncture treatment."

"My first acupuncture visit with Anne gave me a feeling walking on a cloud. For the rest of the day I did not have a care in the world. I came to Anne for help with my Meniere’s disease. The other night I came to acupuncture in the middle of an attack, and left with no signs of an attack at all. This is working. The best thing of all this, is before acupuncture, I felt like an egg teetering to one side ready to fall over. Now I feel like I am sitting straight up and have a sense of well being throughout my entire body. Looking forward to many more visits."

Anxiety, Depression and Stress Management

"I have been receiving weekly treatments from Anne for six months with amazing results. Before working with Anne, I, like so many, conducted my life as if it were a marathon, running at a frenzied pace. In spite of my valiant efforts to keep up, at the end of the day my mind raced with thoughts of unfulfilled responsibilities. Of course, I suffered with insomnia, severe lack of energy and weight gain – the hallmark consequences of carrying on in this frantic way.
I began to feel calmer and in more control with the first session with Anne! She explained to me how acupuncture addresses the importance of balance and the flow of energy. Thanks to her skilled treatments, I experience productive sleep, increased energy, and have achieved a calm, peaceful outlook and a sense of well-being which, frankly, I have not experienced in decades. I wish I had been smart enough to have recognized the damage I was imposing on myself and started acupuncture years ago.
Carrying on at a breakneck speed has tricked us into overloaded ‘to do’ lists and self-shame when we cannot achieve unrealistic results. We worry about the past, our minds race to fix tomorrow. Thanks to Anne Crowley and her expert use of this scientific system of healing, I have learned to cherish the present, and have improved both my physical and emotional health in the process. Thank you, Anne!"

"I feel so much better since I sought Anne's help for anxiety four months ago! After the treatments, I feel so relaxed, recharged and "ready to take on the world." I have to add that Anne has been absolutely great and wonderful about addressing and treating any other health concerns that may have come up along the way. Thanks Anne!"

"The doors Anne and her acupuncture practice have opened for me were once long shut and impenetrable by western medicine. As a professional athlete, I am highly in tune with my body. I proclaim myself as a former pessimist of the practice, but was amazed (and continue to be) at the positive reactions both physically and emotionally (which I'm NOT so in tune with!) that I'm enjoying from her treatments, particularly in accord to the speed at which I'm seeing them! As a new patient, I am just seeing the tip of the iceberg as far as the possibilities of how healing this process will be!"

"I use to feel this inner urge to act out. Acupuncture with Anne gives me what I need to stabilize myself and feel grounded."

"Since I have been coming to Anne for acupuncture, I'm happier inside, from the inside out. I use to wear an armored suit; now I let things come in."

"From the despair of depression and anxiety - through coping - to enjoying life again, has been an amazing journey...and the best part, drug free. It's wonderful to find those unexpected pleasures throughout the day and be able to recognize how close I was to missing it."

"I've been seeing Anne for acupuncture for several years. I was at my wit's end before I met Anne (and that is putting it mildly). Acupuncture has turned my life around in that I am getting much needed relief to physical and mental pain that I had been experiencing for many years."

"Anne, you light a path in people's lives so that they may see what is already there."

Women's Health

"As a woman in my late 40s I was experiencing some changes in my body and menstrual patterns that are to be expected. However, I experienced an increasing amount of bleeding every month that made me feel exhausted and made daily life difficult as I had to carry so many supplies with me. I saw my regular doctor and learned of options to help with my bleeding, one of which was surgery. I wanted to put off such a drastic step so I made an appointment to see Anne. Over the course of a few weeks of treatments my bleeding decreased and my energy level was higher. I am back to exercising daily and I nurture myself with good food, plenty of sleep, and daily meditation. Anne has also helped me with problems that occurred during my overall treatment. Once I had a very bad cold and her treatment alleviated the symptoms immediately. Another time I had strained my back and she used acupuncture to relieve the pain and sent me home with compresses that completed the healing. It's difficult to convey how much my quality of life improved since I began receiving treatments from Anne. From the extensive intake interview to the personalized treatment I've received the best care from Anne Crowley."

"I look so forward to my visits with Anne. I was having problems with menopausal issues, and now I am symptom free. Currently I am going in for "tune ups" which keeps me happy and healthy. I have not been sick in a long time (not even a cold!), and I feel it's because of my monthly treatments. I would recommend acupuncture with Anne for any aspect of your life, whether it is your physical or emotional health."
