Endometriosis/Menstrual Cramps
"I decided to try acupuncture for my endometriosis which gave me severe menstrual cramping and pain. In the past I have had laser surgery and Lupron shots to control my endometriosis. I am glad to say that my experience with acupuncture has been very good."
"I have been going for acupuncture treatments with Dr. D. Shapiro about once or twice a month for the past 4 months. At first I was skeptical about trying such a procedure. I have found the procedure to be non-invasive, safe, effective, and fairly painless. After the first month of treatment I noticed a decrease in my menstrual cramping and pain. The second month of treatment I noticed my menstrual pain lessening by half. This last month has been the best month. I had very mild discomfort from my menstrual cramping and pain. I am happily surprised that the acupuncture has dramatically decreased my monthly pain. The only other thing that has given me this relief has been Lupron shots. The only difference is that the Lupron had some mild adverse reactions but the acupuncture has given me no adverse reactions."
