Back & Hip Pain
“When I first came to Best Acupuncture in August 2009, I was in severe pain in my right hip and back. I had been dealing with the pain for nine months. I was on a lot of pain medicine as well as other kinds of medicine. I was not in good health. I was unable to get out and do the things I longed to do. I was stuck at home, in pain, on lots of medication, and no real relief from medical doctors.
Seven months later the severe pain has been eliminated. When I first came to Deleon, I was on at least seven medications full time and several occasionally as needed. Now I am only on one medication daily and two as needed. I have energy to enjoy life again. I have been able to put my energy into improving my relationship with my husband. I have even lost some weight by following the guidelines of good nutrition set for me by the staff at Best Acupuncture.
I would encourage anyone to go to Best Acupuncture and try it. Deleon and his staff are such caring, knowledgeable professionals. They have really helped me both physically and mentally with their expertise and encouraging words. I am a much healthier and happier person. I look forward to continuing my treatments as Deleon and his staff help me continue to improve my health and well-being.” – Alisa Pelz
Leg Pain
“After thirty-five years of working in a manufacturing environment, I had severe pain in my lower left leg. My quality of life has improved tremendously. I can now enjoy activities with my family pain free. The staff at Best Acupuncture are very professional. Deleon explains his treatments and the outcomes one can expect to the body. I am highly satisfied with the care provided to me. The pain I was in when I first started compared to today has been a 100% turn around.” - JDL
High Blood Pressure
I came to Best Acupuncture for “high blood pressure because I did not want to go on medication. I also had issues with anxiety, neck pain and eye pressure. My blood pressure is down – a lot! My eye pressure is down – a lot! I am so happy and feel so calm. I can’t tell you how wonderful this journey is! I have already referred friends and family to Best Acupuncture. They were the first to notice how calm and relaxed I am.” - Female, Age 49
Knee Replacement
I came to Best Acupuncture because of “my knees and that I could not have knee surgery due to being allergic to metal and plastic. My knees have improved and have been free of pain for the most part unless I over tax them. It has allowed me to do a lot more chores at home and travel again. My experience at Best Acupuncture has been great. Everyone is very nice with a caring manner about them.” - Judy Allison
Migraines
“I have had migraines for the past 10 years. I have not had a migraine since I started treatments with Deleon. I was getting them at least one a month and even had a series of cluster migraines. I am very satisfied with the care provided by Best Acupuncture. Never in a million years would I have thought acupuncture could work for me. I can’t thank Deleon and his staff enough for allowing me to be in their care! They are a great staff who really want to help!” – Rochelle R.
Menopause
“I came to Best Acupuncture for the onset and ailments of menopause. My improvements have been less symptoms and even improvements on other issues like my acid reflux which is nearly gone.” My overall level of satisfaction with the care provided by Best Acupuncture is, “Fantastic. They are all kind, caring and friendly.” – Angela
Multiple Sclerosis
“In November of 2006, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). As my MS began to get worse, I had to take heavy doses of IV steroids and take the three-time-per-week injection of interferon that slows MS. There is no cure for MS.
My psychologist gave me the best advice, go to Best Acupuncture to help control pain and fatigue. In the beginning, I was a bit hesitant about it. I went into the office of Deleon Best and his wonderful smile and gentle hand greeted me. I did not know what to expect. Deleon told me that in Chinese medicine, they put one’s body in balance so the body can heal itself. Deleon introduced me to his knowledgeable wife, Pam Kessinger Best. Pam has helped me learn to relax and breathe, opening the body channels through yoga and exercise.
The combination of acupuncture and yoga has been indispensable to me. Before I started my treatments, I sometimes felt like a train ran over me, and even on good days, I would experience daily pain and soreness. Acupuncture and yoga has made me feel like a normal person. Since I have been going to Best Acupuncture, I have not had an exacerbation with my MS. Deleon says to me “We do not cure MS, but we can put it in remission so that you can have a normal life.” I have been with Best Acupuncture for the last year, and I feel great. I also decided to have Deleon treat my thirteen-year-old-child, Daniel, who suffered from bad seasonal allergies for about two years. Daniel now has little problem with allergies.
Deleon and Pam are wonderful, intelligent people; so full of wisdom and knowledge. Best Acupuncture is a place that I want my whole family to come to so we can stay healthy and happy, without medications, for many years to come. Thank you to Best Acupuncture for your life-changing help.” – Edna Wyatt, Age 39
Neuropathy
“I came to Best Acupuncture with constant unbearable pain in my feet from arthritis and neuropathy. Several foot surgeries did not solve the problem. My doctors offered no hope and no help except for drugs that made me sicker and unable to function. People told me that as a women in her seventies, I should accept this and learn to live with the pain. I had a problem with all of these ideas and the idea that I should give my power to some doctor. Acupuncture got rid of the pain, my insomnia, my high blood pressure, helped me learn a healthier way of eating, gave me hope for a better life and gave me another option besides doctors and pharmaceuticals.” - Besty Hampton
Rheumatoid Arthritis
“The conditions that brought me to Best Acupuncture were numerous. I was diagnosed with at least three auto-immune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Sjogren’s Syndrome. I was seeing four specialists on a very regular basis at least once a week. I had been hospitalized every year for Pneumonia and re-occurring Bronchitis. During the winter of 2006, I was hospitalized five times. I was experiencing extreme imflammation, achiness, bone and joint pain, and difficulty breathing. When I came to Best Acupuncture, I was on potent medications for imflammation and pain. I was taking more than twenty pills and supplements a day just to maintain some kind of lifestyle although one that wasn’t very active at all – just basically working and living. Two years ago, I started coming to Best Acupuncture on the advice of a friend. I had never experienced acupuncture before and didn’t know what to expect. Deleon explained everything to me and I was amazed the needles didn’t hurt at all.
My improvement have been many. I am currently not on any potent medications on a regular basis. I only see my family doctor when I need too (very infrequently) and feel much BETTER! I am much more active – boating, riding my bike, walking, and just being able to do things easier. The other great aspect of Best Acupuncture is that they taught me how to create a different experience for myself with diet, exercise and relaxation breathing. I now have tools other than drugs to help me with my challenges. I have learned breathing techniques to help me actually breathe correctly. I have lost weight, sleep better, relax and eat better than I ever have in my life. My joints, bones and muscles don’t constantly hurt me on a daily basis anymore. And if they do, usually brought on by my own experiences, I know what and how to do the techniques that will help! I absolutely recommend Best Acupuncture to my friends and clients. I really think Deleon and his team are gifts to us, to help promote healing and wellness through Eastern Medicine.” - Ms. Linda Thunberg
Skin Conditions
“I came to Best Acupuncture for flat warts on my legs. I had been going to a dermatologist for one year as the warts kept spreading. I could not remove the hair from my legs which forced me to only wear long pants and no bathing suits during the summer. Not only are my warts completely gone, I am able to shave, wax, wear shorts, etc. I am also sleeping better, feeling better, feeling less stressed, have a clear mind and have settled my digestive problems.” - Female, Age 27
Spinal Stenosis
“I came to Best Acupuncture for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. I had debilitating pain in my lower back, buttocks, hip area and lower right leg. I had no response from previous epidural injections nor physical therapy. My improvements with acupuncture have been much less pain. I am now able to bounce back much quicker if do over do it. I am able to walk longer. The office is very quiet and a gentle atmosphere which add to Deleon’s quick and painless insertions of the needles – amazing! I am so pleased with my progress. I did not think it was possible! The staff is great and very helpful.” - Joanne L.
