Acupuncture Testimonials
“Over the course of one year I became very ill from exposure to toxic black mold in my classroom environment. My monthly cycle was completely thrown off, for the first time ever in my life, lasting only 14 days compared to the usual 28 days. After just one treatment with David Frome, my cycle began to lengthen miraculously! After only 3 treatments and about 2-3 months time, my cycle returned completely to normal. And by the way, David used no more than 3-5 needles in each session, amazing work.”

“David Frome has been my acupuncturist of choice for over a year, as he's been helping me manage a herniated disc in my lumbar spine. His was the correct diagnosis after more than a year trying different practitioners of different modalities without relief of my back pain.
"His methods are powerful and unique in the way he targets your pain and uses his knowledge of physical and energetic anatomy to access healing through your body's own energy and potential. The information and advice David shares can be as helpful as his treatment, and has helped me develop postural habits that support my lower back instead of stressing it.
I highly recommend David's work and his methods for achieving healing where the was dis-ease.”

“I first met David Frome in 2007, 6 months after a laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis. I had heard about Rolfing and hoped it would help me regain my former physical condition. I found Rolfing to be a wonderful experience that created renewed vigor to my entire body. A year later, when a herniated disc began causing severe complications at my surgical site I called David. He recommended I try acupuncture. My new symptoms included hip pain, foot pain and a weakness in my left leg that caused a major imbalance to the point I walked with a cane.
"During our first acupuncture session David was able to not only pinpoint all of my symptoms, but through acupuncture he either eliminated or hugely curtailed all of them. I left after one hour without needing my cane! I had three acupuncture sessions that month, and found most of my pain either completely eliminated or very diminished. My imbalance was gone! I have had follow up sessions a few months later to help with some returning pain, and each time found the acupuncture was incredibly successful at freeing my body from nerve pain. I have to say that the changes that occur from acupuncture are dramatic and sustaining. You also get an emotional feeling of true relief as you feel the pains diminish from the needles. I was truly impressed with how an acupuncture needle could open the necessary pathway to relieve the nerve.
"I have to thank David for once again giving me my life back. Acupuncture is an incredible healing tool. Unlike pain medication which only masks the pain, the needles are truly relieving the pain by helping the nerve pathways. It is so healthy for the body.”

“Not only do I have a phobia about needles, but I was also a skeptic! Not a good way to start on my acupuncture journey, one could say. However, a very good friend of mine, after hearing my continuous moaning about my back and shoulder, ignored my fear and reservations and literally made me the first appointment. I have not looked back since!
"David Frome had been treating my respected friend and her family, with great success for many years and I knew they had tremendous faith and trust in him and his treatments. With this in the forefront of my mind, I was able to put my fear and reservation to one side and begin my own treatment with an open mind. Despite regular chiropractic treatments, I had been suffering from shoulder and back problems for many, many years and was desperately in need of help.”

“My name is George C. and I suffered a severe injury to my back while in the military. The result was a spinal surgery, which included five metal rods with twelve 4” bolts. I also have scoliosis. The upshot was many years of severe pain which was not responsive to pain management or Physical Therapy.
"I work as a veterinarian and am on my feet eight to twelve hours a day. A very considerate client gave me a gift certificate for acupuncture. For many years I had thought about acupuncture but dismissed it as being ineffective.
"David Frome performed a very through physical exam and took a very lengthy medical history which itself was impressive. He offered suggestions and we got down to work. It was a new experience having pins placed in my body. David took time to explain what he was doing and the basic philosophy of the procedures.
"Initially, I had great trouble getting on and of the procedure table. It was a serious chore causing me a great deal of pain and requiring assistance. Over the past ten months there was at first gradual improvement and than more rapid relief. Today, I can get right on and off the table without help and without pain.
"Based upon my experience I realized the acupuncture was a tremendous help to me. My professional activities and social life have so greatly benefited. I can now lead a fairly normal life free of much pain. I now prescribe acupuncture for my own patients.
"My advise to anyone considering this procedure is to be patient as it can take several treatments before the power of the procedures can be fully appreciated.
"David Frome is a very scholarly, gentle man who practices his art in a relatively painless manor. I have but one regret: That I did not meet David Frome and undergo his acupuncture treatment years ago. It has been a marvelous experience.”
