TESTIMONIALS
"Hi Rebecca,
Panda is doing remarkable well.  The suspension is back in her gait, she is not
paddling, and Katie reports that she hasn't been stiff in the hips. Katie has been very
diligent about doing Panda's stretches and Panda is very good for her.  I do not feel
the lumps ON her neck any more.  Katie says she is "much more solid now".  
I have to tell you that this is the most remarkable response that I've ever seen in a
horse to any type of treatment!  Well done and thank you!"

"Rebecca:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping my horse, Justin.  He sustained an
acute injury to his left hind limb following a sliding stop into a gate while in the paddock
on January 6th, 2006.  He was diagnosed by New Bolton Center via an ultrasound and
full body nuclear scintigraphy with a pulled semimembranosus and semitendinosus
(hamstring muscles) and an avulsion fracture of the ventral aspect of the left tuber
ischii.  Justin was treated by New Bolton for 8-1/2 months to monitor the hematoma
and avulsion fracture as they healed.  He continued to experience fluid around his
biceps femoris muscles and remained tender and weak in his hind end.  As I was
instructed to increase his flat work it seemed as though he became weaker and
weaker.  I was also unable to maintain his weight and he had developed a scruff type
skin rash along the semimembranosus and semintendinosus muscles on his left hind.  
At this point I realized that he had other injuries and areas of his hind end that needed
attention.
Once Justin was released from New Bolton Center, I had him evaluated by Dr. Roger
Scullin.  He diagnosed the scruff type skin rash to be caused by a pinch nerve.  He
was also concerned that so much fluid remained along the bicep femoris area as well
as his drop in weight and muscle tone with the increased work.  At the time of Dr.
Scullin's initial evaluation, Justin was lame in 3 out of 4 limbs.  It was at Dr. Scullin’s
recommendation that I call you for acupuncture treatments.
I noticed a remarkable difference after the first treatment.  It was obvious that he was
in much less pain.  Once the nerve was released, the fluid and swelling began to
dissipate, he began gaining a few pounds and the scruff type skin rash began to clear
up on it’s own.  The weekly treatments that followed also proved to relieve Justin’s
pain and discomfort.  He became sounder and sounder with each treatment.
Ten months later Justin is well on his way to being completely healed.  I am currently
flatting Justin in full work as well as jumping 2’6” cross rails to continue to stretch out
the muscles that he held so tight for 8-1/2 months.  I truly appreciate the time and
care that you gave him during his treatments.  It was obvious that your main concern
was helping Justin feel as good as he can, as quickly as he can.  

Thank you,
Sherry C."
