I saw Ignacia for the first time after hurting my shoulder in Jiu Jitsu. I was convinced it was a torn rotator cuff. My Jiu Jitsu team that frequently visits Ignacia encouraged me to give her acupuncture a try before seeking out a doctor’s visit, referral to an orthopedic specialist, or an X-ray to tell me it’s not broken and a CT scan to find the damage. Having been a paramedic for 10 years, western medicine is all I knew. Ignacia not only found the true source of pain in my shoulder but spent the next hour gently treating it. Before she worked on me, I had almost zero range of motion and couldn’t support any weight with my left arm. It had been immobile, distractingly painful and glued to my hip for days. When I left after an hour in her care I had full range of motion, full strength back and absolutely no pain! The next morning is the same. My shoulder feels 100% again! I’m completely blown away by how quickly and effectively her treatments work. I will be visiting her regularly for maintenance as my career and fight training are both very demanding. I’m so thankful to have found her. She is truly remarkable at what she does! Stephanie M.
