(I changed his name).\u00a0 Henry is 81 years old and he has been suffering with severe low back pain since his retirement almost 20 years ago.\u00a0 He thinks it all started in 1973 when he had a bad fall on the ice, but he needed to work and managed to work through the pain.\u00a0 But as soon as he retired, the pain started and just kept getting worse.When Henry first came in, he had difficulty walking because of the sciatica shooting down the back, side, and front of his legs. He described his low back pain as excruciating and rated it a 10\/10.\u00a0 It was becoming a big problem for him to get out of bed in the morning, let alone take the buses around South East Portland to go grocery shopping. He couldn\u2019t sleep because the pain woke him up every 2 hours. He was constipated and had to strain with every bowel movement\u2026and that isn\u2019t good because he also has high blood pressure. Acupuncture wasn\u2019t even a consideration for him until his doctor suggested acupuncture. Then a friend said it worked for her.\u00a0 So he made an appointment.When we started, Henry was pretty doubtful.Understandably, he wasn\u2019t in a great mood and clearly needed some help. On the second visit he came early for his appointment, sat down with me and the first thing he says was, \u201cIt works! I feel better!\u201dAfter 5 acupuncture visits, Henry\u2019s pain levels dropped to a 6\/10.The radiating stopped on the side and front of his legs.\u00a0 He still has some pain down the back of his legs but that keeps getting better.\u00a0 He now can sleep through the night. Pain isn\u2019t waking him up anymore and he can walk farther without excruciating pain. Another added bonus is that he has started having a bowel movement every day and that always helps.\u00a0 Henry is starting to feel a lot better in many ways. And we are having fun because like him, I was a skeptic too.Does this sound familiar to you? Do you know someone who has low back pain?\u00a0 If you do be sure to ask them \u201cHave you tried acupuncture for that?\u201d Then send them to The WellBridge Clinic.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\t\t\t\t"}
