Wanted to give a shout out to all the musicians out there looking to heal repetitive stress injuries and prevent future ones. I have added Jeanne Atkin of Pinehurst Healing Arts to the top of my list ......after a 6 week gig in Japan I came back to NYC with tendonitis in my fingering hand & forearm. I tried everything to find relief - massage, compresses, you name it . Was almost at the point where I couldn't do my next gig when I went to Jeanne.
I was suffering from debilitating knee pain for about eight months before consulting with Jeanne Atkin and was very apprehensive about trying acupuncture. But she really put me at ease and was able to make such a positive impact that not only did I become comfortable with the sessions after the first two, but actually looked forward to them! I started to feel better after just a few sessions and now feel almost back to normal. My seasonal allergies have gotten better also!!! I’ve learned that Western medicine doesn’t always have all the answers!!!
Having recently moved to Washington Heights from Manhattan’s upper east side, I was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent holistic health care practice right across the street from my home. I first started acupuncture treatments at Pinehurst Healing Arts in Washington Heights for an acute lower back spasm which left me nearly incapacitated. To my amazement, it was resolved in only two sessions. During those sessions Jeanne noticed my swollen feet and legs. I told her that I had suffered from lymphedema for nearly 50 years since the age of 18.
