I wasn’t sleeping well, I was so self-conscious about my face that I didn’t want to leave the house. Just 3 weeks later, I now feel better than any time I can remember. I have the energy to do activities. My skin is healing well. My great thanks to Brigitta Moskova, Acupuncturist.”

“As an avid extreme sportiest, for most of my Life I have experienced backpain, breaks and other chronic pain. I thought I would just have to live with it. Now after only a few sessions with Brigitta I am sleeping better, my pain is more manageable and I have increased flexibility of motion. Acupuncture has given me a renewed quality of Life.”

“I injured my neck at work. As a nurse I rarely ember to take time out for myself. I woke the next morning with a stiff neck and called Brigitta for a session. I experienced an immediate instant relief of over 30% and complete 100%relief after the next day’s session. Combining white flower oil and cupping did the trick.”

Before my acupuncture treatments, it hurt when I walked and I had to bend forward when I walked! Now, after a month of treatments, I can walk straight up and without any pain!! Also, my sciatica in my leg is healed.

I never have had acupuncture done before and was very new to it all, but was recommended by my doctor. After looking at Brigitta’s website I gave it a try and am very thankful I did. Not only did the acupuncture help my pain immensely, but the office and overall experience was very positive. Brigitta
