A paratrooper's injuries

Melanie G. retired as a master sergeant in the United States Army. She was airborne during her time in the Army and came away with multiple injuries: a fracture in her hip, torn ligaments in her shoulder and rotator cuff, and ankles she says were "just a mess."

"It almost turned me into a hermit"

The pain in her feet got so bad she couldn't stand up on them in the middle of the night or let the covers touch them. Putting on shoes and socks was hard. In her words: "It almost turned me into a hermit."

She wanted relief, not more pills

Melanie didn't want to keep taking "pills upon pills" just to dull the pain. "I actually wanted relief from what was wrong," she says. So she tried acupuncture. Peachtree City Acupuncture was her third acupuncturist, and she drove a long distance to see our team.

"To start to be myself again"

Today she calls her experience here "awesometastic." In her words: "I'm able to do a lot more day-to-day functions and to start to be myself again." She says she has been nothing but happy with the treatments she has received.
