I received acupuncture treatments for my back and legs from Gerry Harrington for approximately one year. When I first came to Mr. Harrington for treatment, I was suffering from extreme pain along my spine that was radiating down my legs. I had protruding and bulging discs in my lumbar spine. I also was suffering from muscle spasms in my back and legs.
At the beginning of my treatment with Mr. Harrington I saw him weekly. Mr. Harrington combined this treatment with heat therapy, massage, and a treatment known as cupping. (Cupping involves using cups to help relieve tension in the affected area(s)).
As time progressed, I did not have to see Mr. Harrington as frequently because my condition was improving significantly as he treated me. The pain and tension in my back and legs lessen significantly until I only needed see Mr. Harrington on an "as needed" basis. However, if I moved heavy furniture or some other activity which affected my back, Mr. Harrington always gave me an appointment promptly and saw me soon after the occurrence.
Mr. Harrington is a professional dedicated to the discipline of acupuncture, and has spent time in China to observe first hand the nuances of his profession. He is extremely knowledgeable about eastern medicine and will take the time to speak to his patients concerning the various procedures he performs. He welcomes questions from patients and explains what he is doing as he is actually treating his patients. He keeps detailed notes on each patient he treats so he can follow their progression and see what procedures work best for a particular patient and his or her problem.
I highly recommend Mr. Harrington for the treatment of acupuncture and other eastern medicinal treatments. He is one of the few providers I have every encountered that is patient, takes the time to listen to his patients, and is professionally responsive with the goal of giving his patients the pain relief they seek.
