Chronic Pain and Pain Post Surgery

“I first visited Live Well Acupuncture for severe muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. Physical therapy, stretching, and massage brought temporary relief but my pain would resume after a few days. It became a chronic condition. After three acupuncture sessions with Nancy Fuller, my neck pain disappeared and has not come back!

Most recently, I had a total hip replacement. Surgery was successful, but I got acute and debilitating muscle spasms in my thigh and around my knee. Even pain meds did not get rid of the spasms and pain. I finally remembered acupuncture. After one treatment with Nancy, the spasms disappeared. Completely! I wish I had thought of returning to Live Well Acupuncture earlier than I did.

I cannot recommend Nancy Fuller enough. She is an intelligent, thoughtful, generous, and patient practitioner with the utmost integrity.”

Migraines, Overall Wellness

“I searched for the best acupuncturist in Charlotte and I found her.  She is not just an acupuncturist, but she is also a partner in wellness.  She is extremely knowledgeable and caring and a fantastic listener.  She is intuitive and encouraging and she genuinely cares about her patients.  I simply cannot imagine my journey without her in it!

I have been a patient of hers for 8 months now and I would not go anywhere else.  I came to her with a variety of presenting problems, including frequent migraines.  I now feel like a completely different person – both physically and mentally.

If you want to get to the root of your issues, no matter what they are, I recommend her.  She is knowledgeable about Chinese herbs as well and uses those in her practice, too.  TEN STARS!”

Anxiety, Fear of Needles

“I have always lived in fear of needles of any type! Having to have a shot or an IV resulted in severe panic attacks, hyper ventilation & hysteria! My sister had encouraged me to seek treatment from Nancy for multiple health conditions. After over a year of thinking about it I made the call & the first appointment. Nancy was patient and reassuring during my visit. I had no anxiety and felt nothing when the filaments were inserted in multiple places of my body! It was an incredible experience resulting in future appointments and great improvement in my health! I highly recommend Nancy and the services that she offers as part of good health and a happy life!”

Fibromyalgia, Digestion, Sleep, Thyroid, Chronic Pain

“Thank you, Nancy, for giving me my life back.  She took the time to listen to me to understand what my medical issues were and the problems I was having. After talking to and being treated by Nancy, acupuncture has greatly improved my well being as she has taken care of my fibromyalgia, my digestive issues, my sleep issues, my thyroid issues, my anxiety, and the chronic pain I have been dealing with for several years. Nancy is a wonderful, caring person to have in your life.  I look forward to the continued work with her to maintain my health.”

Menopause

“Much to my surprise I began having hot flashes and night sweats several years before I expected anything to happen. I was miserable. When I had a hot flash I became soaking wet and my younger co-workers would ask with real concern what was wrong, which of course made me feel even more uncomfortable. I didn’t like the changes that were happening to my body but I couldn’t seem to stop it. A friend suggested that I try acupuncture. The treatment and herbs eliminated the awful symptoms. I slept better and felt less anxious too. I tell all of my friends that we don’t have to live with that discomfort. Nancy said that my body was out of balance and when we got it back into balance the symptoms would stop. She was right! Thank you.”

Hormonal Issues

“I will be eternally grateful to Nancy Fuller at Live Well Acupuncture for the positive changes that I have felt since beginning acupuncture treatments. Initially I began seeing Nancy because I had been to two different medical doctors and was diagnosed with amenhorrea (not getting a period). For two years I worried about why my body wasn’t producing any blood. The doctors told me that my hormone levels were normal, all my tests came back without any problems, and they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. However, the medical doctors suggested I go back on birth control anyway to rectify the problem. That’s not what I wanted, so I went to Nancy for help. After just 11 acupuncture sessions, I got my period for the first time in 2 years! I can’t describe how excited I was to know that I could function optimally again without the use of hormones or other medications. I went the natural route, and now I feel amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!”

Post Dental Work Pain and Wellness

“I first came to see Nancy on the recommendation of several family members. My right jaw muscle was atrophied due to multiple anesthetic injections for a recent dental procedure. After two weeks of trying to unlock it with heat, massage, and various physical therapy I came to see Nancy. She used a combination of techniques on me and my jaw was completely healed after four sessions. I continued to see her for several weeks while she worked on other issues such as low back pain, neck pain, restlessness, and more.

I found her to be extremely knowledgeable in her chosen field as well as caring, empathetic, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I looked forward to every session and also left feeling peaceful and relaxed. She recommended other therapies to me like Pilates and Chinese herbs which I am finding very helpful. But since Chinese medicine is not only about fixing problems, but about maintaining health and wellbeing, I will be a client for life now.”

Facial Rejuvenation

“Since beginning acupuncture facial rejuvenation, I have seen significant changes in my skin. It has an overall more youthful, smoother appearance, and the laugh lines around my mouth have faded significantly. I also had some deep wrinkles in my chin from doing a pucker face while I studied while working on my dissertation. They were really bothersome but Nancy has miraculously helped them fade as well!

The most significant change has been the eyelids – my eyelids were hooded, and now I have visible space above my eye lashes. I don’t feel 45 on the inside and now my face doesn’t look 45 on the outside.

So the facelift procedure has been a double dipping for me, where my skin on my face has changed, wrinkles have diminished, and the skin is lifted, but also I get a peaceful relaxing experience once a week while I’m on the table! When I look back at earlier pictures, there is a very noticeable difference! Nancy is just a joy to visit, and I know no matter what I’m feeling like when I come in I will leave in a more peaceful, calm and better spirit when I walk out. She is very good at what she does.”

Anxiety

“I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Nancy fuller for about six months. I had been referred to Nancy by another health care professional who highly recommended her both as a conscientious professional and an extraordinarily strong, calm and wise person. I made an appointment for the introductory session and finding it so helpful, I scheduled ten more sessions. After each session I have felt calmer and have a better sense of well being. I also find Nancy to be a caring, optimistic person, just talking with her is helpful. I highly recommend Nancy Fuller to anyone who wants to improve their health in a totally natural way.”

Pain Relief

“I am a patient of Nancy Fuller, Acupuncturist, I have found her to very knowledgeable about the human body and causes of pain. During my treatment she was able to diagnose and treat my discomfort. Her manner is professional and thorough; when she worked on me she was very patient and calming. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone experiencing pain, physical discomfort or simply wanting to maintain good health.”

Arthritis

“I had never entertained any thoughts of acupuncture until April of 2012. In January I began having pain and locking in my left thumb, plus I couldn’t bend it. My index finger on my right hand was stiff and locking too. This made some ordinary tasks difficult and frustrating. I knew this was arthritis because I remembered the pain and deformity in my Mother’s hands as she got older. At the age of 65 I was determined to find an answer that did not involve surgery. My best friend recommended acupuncture with Nancy Fuller. This opened up a whole new world to me as I learned about Chinese medicine. One of the big advantages of this philosophy is the treating of the whole body so the wellness of each patient is the top priority. I also added some foods to my diet and began Tai Chi mind/body exercises. I had great success with acupuncture and with every visit my whole body was being treated. Each visit I would leave feeling healed and very relaxed. My fingers are now very flexible and pain free and I feel my quality of life has improved and will continue to improve.”

Migraine, Bruxism, PMS

“I have been seeing Nancy Fuller for over three years. I initially saw Nancy for migraine treatment, and she was amazing. She worked my treatments to ensure the greatest impact, and within a month my migraines were gone. I also saw her for bruxism, (a grinding or clenching of the teeth) and over a series of months I was able to relieve the pain in my jaw and get new blood flow to my gums, as well as ease the head pain that was a result of the clenching. Each time I see Nancy it isn’t just acupuncture; she also talks with me to understand other issues that might be causing the pain. Through a very holistic approach she also helped me, using herbs to change my body and stabilize my mood during significant PMS episodes. She has also helped with my bladder function through herbs!”

Blood Pressure

“At first I was hesitant to try acupuncture because I didn’t know a whole lot about it. A friend raved about how much acupuncture has helped her and she referred me to Live Well Acupuncture. I am thrilled about the results! I came in with anxiety, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, and suffered from insomnia often. After just a few sessions, my heart palpitations stopped entirely and I started to feel calm. Nancy Fuller at Live Well Acupuncture takes the time to talk through all your symptoms and genuinely cares about your health. This was something new to me as I never feel this way when I see my medical doctor. Nancy also prescribed specific herbs that would help all of my issues in between sessions. After about a month, I decided to stop my blood pressure medication to see what it was after treatments. I then went back to my doctor for a check in appointment and my blood pressure was 120/80 – right at normal! I couldn’t believe it. I can’t thank Nancy enough!”

Infertility

“I started working with Nancy after a year and half of trying to get pregnant and was unsuccessful. I had three failed IUI procedures and had taken hormones for each of these procedures. I tried to maintain optimism but was starting to feel discouraged and sad. My mom had told me to try acupuncture and I’m so happy I did. I worked with Nancy and took some herbs during ovulation and to my surprise and answered prayers, I am pregnant. No hormones, no fertility treatment, just acupuncture and relaxation. I will continue to work with Nancy as I have found acupuncture helps my anxiety as well. I recommend Nancy Fuller as she is knowledgeable about her science and is so great to talk to.”
