Achieve Acupuncture
Do you ever wonder what it is that makes some doctors so incredibly compassionate while others have a bedside manner better suited for the DMV?
In the case of Dr. Rebecca Gibbons, RN, DOM, AP of AAIM | Achieve Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine it is a case of true empathy. “I worked in hospitals as an RN for over 15 years and saw how patients suffered from pain and other chronic conditions. Some people were able to find relief with medications, injections or surgeries but many times we would see them comeback within days, weeks or months. I saw their lives were not only filled with discomfort but their days were filled with doctors appointments, hospital stays, ER visits, prescription refills and physical therapy.
That is no way to live. Not only does it take a toll on the person but it also takes a toll on their family members as well.”
Dr. Gibbons also had a personal experience with pain. “I had suffered from severe back pain and did not feel comfortable taking medications because of the way they made me feel. A friend recommended I see an acupuncturist. After a series of treatments I was able to get relief from the pain. I was able to sleep again and the anxiety that I was feeling had also subsided.”
After her incredible experience with the healing arts she made the life changing decision to become an Acupuncture Physician, “acupuncture quite literally changed my life and I want to share that with as many people as I can,” she proclaims. “”As an RN, I saw so many people who had been given a disheartening prognosis, prescribed medications and told ‘this is just something your are going to have to learn to live with.’ But now as an Acupuncture Physician, I am able to integrate both eastern and western medicine to treat those who have chronic pain, neuropathy and other chronic conditions.”
Understanding that Eastern Medicine excels where Western Medicine fails, Dr. Gibbons set forth to develop treatment protocols for all variations of Peripheral Neuropathy (including diabetic and chemotherapy‐induced) and back pain and now has an 80% success rate in treating this once difficult to manage condition.
Dr. Rebecca Gibbons has a long history of treating complicated, difficult to understand conditions. She understands how tragic it can be if left untreated.
Dr. Gibbons and her staff specialize in treating chronic pain, complicated neurological conditions, autoimmune diseases and infertility that may leave other professionals scratching their heads.
