I first visited Dr. Kniskern upon recommendation to help with migraines and lower back problems. I have since continued treatment for many ailments and as a sort of preventive medicine effort due to the fact that the treatment worked so well. I have been going here for about 3 years and find great results no matter what the pain. I am not a fan of medication treatments and am very conscience of what goes into my body. I pay attention to those little pains we all tend to get and nod off which can represent a more deep rooted issue. I am very active and rough with my workouts and so I am prone to injuries- play hard or go home. Some of my experience here has included: lower back pain gone in a matter of a few visits, major ankle sprain swelling and pain reduced and mobility improved 75% in one visit, no migraines for 3 years, bruised deep tissue hand bruise 90% pain reduced in one visit, and these are just a few I can think of now. If you have any ailments that you are having trouble finding solutions to and are tired of traditional western procedures and medications this is a solution with thousands of years of history to support it. The needles dont hurt and in fact are not felt at all in most cases. Put the traditional concept of needles out of you mind as it does not apply in the case as so many may believe. I have a large phobia of actual needles and I go here every week. Take note that this is not always a one time, one visit fix for all issue. It can take many return visits to really see results for all issues. If you think of your body comparing it to an automobile and consider that we typically dont do enough to sustain regular maintenance or exercise and so it is possible your body is suffering from long term neglect and so resolving all issues is not a simple as a one time oil change. There are many acupuncture clinics out there but I have never found one with Dr. Kniskerns set of credentials and approach. Most will help for a matter of only a few months but this place has been reliable throughout the years now. Great insight to Eastern and Western medicine techniques combined with nutritional guidance. Do your own research and know what to expect and then make the commitment to feeling better every day. If you cannot find solutions to your issues then this may be your last stop!
