One 10-minute exercise to cure texting disease (forward head posture)
by Tom Bisio (photos by Valerie Ghent), republished with the author’s permission The Texting Disease: What is Forward Head Syndrome? A few years ago I was sitting at the computer working on a book project, and my arm went numb. The numbness rapidly became a problem in the days that followed as I noticed I was getting low grade headaches, and had difficulty turning my head. It could have been a serious neurological problem, but in fact was simply due to sitting too much, with my head forward, staring at the computer, and not maintaining... [Read more...]

Will acupuncture help with my condition?
There are seven key benefits of acupuncture: It relieves pain. It regulates immune function. It regulates and balances hormones. It elevates mood. It relaxes muscles. It eliminates stress. It enhances mental clarity. All of these factors taken together can be summed up by stating that acupuncture promotes dynamic balance in the human body, a condition called homeostasis, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself. For this reason, acupuncture is a valuable complement to conventional medical treatment of almost any condition.... [Read more...]

“All my life I have had pain from skeletal and joint problems – with osteoporosis, scoliosis, a slipped disc, and fibromyalgia. I had great help from yoga, chiropractic, massage, and a rheumatologist, but still endured almost constant pain. Finally, I added acupuncture with Kristen Horner and was amazed at the relief I received from the painless sessions. I have been impressed with Kristen’s professional and empathic approach and by her knowledge and expertise. I have much less joint and muscle pain now and have been... [Read more...]

“Following a severe episode with my lower back and a diagnosis of the possible need for surgery, my neurosurgeon suggested that I try acupuncture with Kristen Horner. I had already had the standard treatment: 6 weeks of physical therapy as well as a shot in my lower back. These helped, but I was far from being on the road to recovery! I decided to try acupuncture in hopes of avoiding surgery. It worked! At my first visit, Kristen explained the purpose of acupuncture and the methods used. I found the procedure to not...

“In the spring of 2006 I had severe back problems, this had been going on for many years. I had been through four spine surgeries, physical therapy, chiropractors, neurologists, and neurosurgeons but with little relief. I was referred to Kristen by a friend and fortunately she started treating me with acupuncture. It has been a difficult problem but I have had more relief from acupuncture than anything I’ve tried. Kristen has been so supportive through many emotional problems as well; she is very knowledgeable about the... [Read more...]

“I am a 44 year old female scoliosis patient, and am 25 years post Harrington rod/fusion surgery. Above and below the rod and fusion is a deformed/deteriorating mess. Pain has always been constant and has been managed with various medications and physical therapy. I really wanted to reduce the medications that I’ve been on for years. I read about acupuncture in Arthritis Today and a RN friend of mine highly recommended Kristen to me. Immediately after starting acupuncture I felt a reduction in pain. After a month...
