On May of '05 I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis, infection of the inner ear canal which caused me to have vertigo .   I was dizzy, imbalanced, and just feeling bad !

As the months passed I did get somewhat better, but I still felt horrible, my head felt heavy and I was generally imbalanced. Sitting still or lying down was when I felt the best.   Because of this I gained weight and continued to feel lazy.

The Doctor told me that it is possible that it may never go away .   That was two years ago and I was going down hill fast!

A friend recommended Dr. Stephanie Kaplan and Acupuncture and after doing some research on the effects it can have on vertigo I decided to give it a try.   After three or four treatments I could already see a change in my problem .   I started to feel better and my balance improved.   My headaches were gone after the fourth treatment as well as the heaviness in my head.

I have been continuing treatment for the past few months and now I am off the couch, doing work around the house and in the yard.   I like my job at Bogue Inlet Pier and no longer have take frequent rest breaks.   I feel better, am eating better, and am loosing weight.   I can now walk everyday and am able to return to my love of cooking.

I am truly impressed as to how Acupuncture has helped me.   In summary, I thank God for Acupuncture, and also the professional expertise of Stephanie Kaplan.
