One day after receiving her first acupuncture treatment, a patient with chronic neck pain called to report:
"I actually have gotten relief! I am so thrilled; I have not felt this good in 3 years! I was laying in bed this morning and I said to my husband, okay, if I sit up and I can turn my head, we've got something here. And I did and I turned my head farther than I have ever been able to turn from left to right in 3 years! I am so grateful. Thank you SO much."

At the time of this writing I am 67 years old and retired. Last October I was struck with sudden hearing loss. I had flu like symptoms and experienced total deafness in my left ear, and loss of balance. I was checked for stroke and brain tumor and undertook the traditional allopathic treatment protocol for the disorder. I did not have either stroke or a brain tumor, and unfortunately the treatment protocol did not work for me. I remained deaf and dizzy. It was then I embarked on a self help treatment of long walks and rest. My situation improved. Also internet research indicated that acupuncture and the practice of yoga might improve my balance. My regular walks routinely took me by Yo San University wherein I learned of their Community Clinic and subsequently met Ms. Lisa Nelson, clinic intern.
I have been undergoing routine acupuncture treatment with Ms. Nelson for the past two months. I am also continuing my walking and the practice of yoga. I am still deaf in my left ear and somewhat dizzy but my balance has markedly improved. I am most impressed with Ms. Lisa Nelson’s warm and compassionate treatment style as well as her intellectual involvement with my disorder.
While undergoing acupuncture treatment I feel a distinct 'pulling', a kind of 'suction' on my left ear, the deaf ear, and over time I am aware that the ‘mushy’ sensation inside the left side of my skull has grown smaller in volume and now seems localized to being just behind the left ear.
I recognize that these types of descriptions lack scientific rigor, but it is Ms. Nelson's willingness to try and understand what I am saying and her caring for my well being that make her special to me in her practice of acupuncture. I can only hope that with the passage of time and continued treatment that my hearing will return. Regardless, I feel quite certain that my balance will improve.
By this letter and based on my personal experience I can give my whole hearted recommendation to Ms. Lisa Nelson as an acupuncture practitioner and I wish her the very best in her future practice and studies.
