Acupuncture and deep massage therapy go mainstream in
Central Texas
ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — The
ancient Chinese medical art of acupuncture only began to be legalized in
American states in the 1970s. The FDA gave it the okay in 1996 and now some
8-million Americans are using it for treatment. It is going mainstream in
Central Texas now. Baylor Scott & White is introducing acupuncture and deep
massage therapy at two clinics in south Round Rock and Avery Ranch, and
patients approve.
Shane Casey was out riding one day
in Liberty Hill when her horse throw her, fell on her and broke her pelvic bone
in four places. Doctors were not encouraging, She says, “They told me you are
very lucky. 50% to 60% of people do not survive an accident like that. So I
chose to take medicine to be able to walk and just enjoy life.” But the
medicine worried her. “I was in a wheelchair, then a walker, then a cane, so I
decided to look at a different method. Because I didn’t know what the long term
effects would be. What was going to happen to me when I was 80 after taking it
for so long?”
She met Kendall Burleson, a licensed
acupuncturist. A high school basketball injury led to Kendall getting
acupuncture treatment and eventually she entered the field. She knows some
folks are skeptical, “I think that’s how most people find acupuncture. It’s
like one of those things, whatever, I’ll try it, or I have nothing left I’ll
give it a go. You’re always skeptical when you try something new, especially
something like this when it is clouded in a tiny bit of mystery.”

Thank you for sharing. The thing about people is, most of the time, they're are kind of afraid to try something new. They always choose the common, what the majority chooses. Kendall acupuncture is a really good and natural way to treat almost any kind of ailment.
