The majority of people today are suffering from medical conditions they cannot get rid of, such as pain, allergies, trouble losing weight, diabetes, heart disease, female disorers, anxiety or depression, trouble sleeping, stress, intestinal issues - just to name a few. Modern medicine focuses more on sick care - treating a problem with drugs and/or surgery - rather than fixing the cause and preventing its return.
Acupunture is over 3,000 years old, yet many people have yet to experience its benefits. Acupuncture treats the root cause, working to restore balance, ridding the body of pain, illness, stress, and anxiety. Small needles are used that communicate with the nervous system, brain, organs, circulation, thyroid, and hormones.

Acupuncture has been shown to relieve both acute and chronic pain, including: back pain, neck pain, headaches, and osteoarthritis. Acupuncture lowers the stress hormones in the body - good for stress, to prevent aging, and for weight loss!

I had come to Nicole with 4 years of depression, anxiety, no focus, always tired, and always felt weighed down. I began acupuncture with Nicole and then started the cleanse, and the improvement is nothing short of amazing. Everything she said that would improve has, in just the 2 weeks since I met her!
Acupuncturists are trained to address addictions, incuding the physical, mental, and emotional aspects involved. Acupuncture can help with:. Smoking turns your body very acidic. When you are acidic inside, you crave acidic things. By detoxifiying your body, you go from being acidic to alkaline - cigarettes no longer have the same appeal.
Born with severe scoliosis, it was necessary to have 5 back surgeries. My first surgery was when I was 13 and my last one was when I was 22. My spine is now completely fused and held together with two Harrington rods and six to eight screws. Over the years, the pain got so back I was taking numerous medications.
Why would a 100-calorie 'health' bar cause you to gain more weight than a 300-calorie one?. Toxins are stored in our fat cells. You can eat a better diet, exercise, increase your water, but if you do not detoxify these toxins out of your fat cells, you may have a hard time losing weight, or gain weight back.

After 2 back surgery due to an accident in 1993, i was sent to a pain management clinic and have been on oxicontin and now 100 mg morphine 3 times daily to suppress severe pain. All meds have adverse side affects. My pain management doctor suggested acupuncture because he could do no more for me. Thank god he did, like a lot of people i otherwise probably would have never tried it. I've had several treatments now and can't believe the results..from 6 to 10 pain level on the meds to now usually 0 after the acupuncture treatments ! I've cut my meds by one third with no increase in pain and plan on

Nicole has helped me so much! Before acupuncture I had tried several medications for my anxiety all of which did not agree with my body. I came to her with terrible anxiety, panic attacks and muscle pains. She has helped my body heal and relax in ways I never thought possible. Since staring acupuncture I haven’t had a panic attack in 3 months after experiencing them at least 1-2 times a week and all without medication!

I was having issues with my knee and when I went to the orthopedic doctor he wanted to give me a shot of cortisone. I decided to hold off on the cortisone shot and try acupuncture (Nicole was recommended to me by a friend). After 4 sessions my knee was feeling incredible. The first session the needles made parts of my knee hurt but I knew that it was making it feel better and opening up pathways. After the second session the needles didn't hurt at all. Doing acupuncture takes a little longer than a cortisone shot to see results but it is natural. I've done acupuncture before but Nicole is truly

Highly recommend. I have had chronic back pain for some time and Nicole was recommended to me by a friend. While I have tried other modalities that have brought some relief, I wanted to try acupuncture with the hope of achieving longer term more permanent results. I can say that I feel immediate improvement of symptoms after each visit and after about 10 sessions feel generally less overall pain and have more time completely pain free than I have in some time. Her place is very relaxing and accommodating. Very clean and comfortable. Nicole is very professional and knowledgeable about health and

I have severe arthritis in my thumb. I need a total knee replacement. I went to Nicole to help with the swelling in my thumb. It has been swollen for months to a year. After a few treatments the swelling has gone down,no ibuprofen needed. I didn’t think she could do anything with my knee, but she did!!! My knee is very stiff, lack of mobility. The first treatment I could walk up and down the stairs with more ease. At times I was basically crawling up the stairs!! Not anymore!

I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole lastweek at her place of business and as soon as I walked in I felt very welcomed, the atmosphere was very warm . NIcole is amazing, her energy, knowledge and graciousness is very gratifying.. We were just having a conversation and it came up that I had a shoulder injury which caused me pain and she just went and got her handy tool and started working on the point of origin and automatically relief came over my shoulder and I was able to lift it higher then I have been able to in months without pain!! Yay!!! I highly recommend Nicole at Pampered Porcupine for

Nicole is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable. When I started with her I was ready to go to a surgeon for my extremely frozen shoulder but decided to give this a try. I had tried chiropractic and physical therapy which did not help at all. In the short time I have been seeing her we have made so much progress and I no longer have any pain. I no longer feel I need surgery which is such a relief. Give Nicole a shot and you will not be sorry!

I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as a result of it being hereditary, but also due to the standard American diet. I had level 3 fibrosis. I had been told that I would likely need a liver transplant. After doing research on the Internet, I discovered that eight years after this diagnosis 80% of the people were expected to die. I actually had a death date.
I met Nicole at the end of October. I had constant abdominal pain due to my condition. Since that time, the pain has disappeared. Not only that, by late December my liver was showing improvement in function according to the blood

Nicole is the best! I came here in severe pain from a contorted nerve in my neck/ shoulder area! One treatment, and I was 80 percent better!! I go one to two times a week, it works and it is affordable!!! I highly recommend Nicole, to anyone who wants to do accupunture!! Side note , you feel at home here!

I saw Nicole for severe arm pain (tendonitis or pinched nerve). I also had anxiety and PTSD from student injuries which resulted in shoulder surgeries and unexpected early retirement. Suddenly two years ago my mild hearing loss became severe, to having only 48% hearing. I went to ENTs at UCONN who could only give me new hearing aids which helped with conversation but music was still garbled and distorted. After a few sessions with Nicole I went to an acoustic guitar concertthat I have been to for 3 years. This was the first year I could hear all the words and the notes! I can also hear my water

Nicole is an incredibly talented professional and she has helped me in countless ways! Her knowledge of acupuncture is extraordinary and she is dedicated to continuing her education to help improve patient outcomes. I am committed to scheduling appointments 2-3 times a week and she always fits me into her busy practice. She is kind, compassionate, and thorough in her methods... often going above and beyond the call of duty to help me and other patient manage, and ultimately overcome, difficult health issues. One issue I struggled with was headaches/migranes; after 4 years of practically non stop
