Menstrual Cycle ~ Testimonial

Acupuncture truly is a holistic approach to Health Care. Initially, I came to Carola Stepper for upper back pain.

Not only did my back pain lessen, but my menstrual cycle was regulated as well. This was not a focus of my treatments, yet it happened. In addition, my ability to deal with stress has greatly improved.
