Shoulder Pain & Mobility

"I sought out Synthesis Medicine for treatment to address chronic shoulder pain and mobility issues. After several treatments, my pain was alleviated, mobility was increased, and my flexibility started to return.
​
My care was conducted with professionalism, empathy, patience, and understanding. I would highly recommend Synthesis Medicine to anyone that is considering acupuncture and alternative healing modalities.

Thank you for all that you have done for me."
