A 78 year old man came to Old Bridge Acupuncture complaining of severe right ankle pain. A week earlier, he began to experience intense stabbing pain in his ankle that was worse with walking. After seeing an orthopedist Medical Doctor, he received a cortisone injection to his ankle joint. His pain disappeared for one day, and then returned with an intensity 10/10. It was then that he came to Old Bridge Acupuncture, visibly limping and in excruciating pain. After one treatment, the patient was able to walk normally and had pain reduced 2/10. The patient was prescribed a topical liniment for his ankle and told to apply it locally 2-3x per day. Within a day, his ankle pain was completely gone. At one week follow up, ankle pain was still gone. Contact us at Old Bridge Acupuncture and Wellness, LLC to find out how we can make your life pain free!
