A patient shares how acupuncture at Bethpage Acupuncture helped her overcome daily sciatica, piriformis pain, and neuropathy — and take a 12-day vacation pain-free.
SHE SET A GOAL. SHE GOT HER LIFE BACK. Sciatica and piriformis pain, every single day. Neuropathy in both feet for nine straight months. That was daily life for one patient before she found her way to Jennifer Beltrani at Bethpage Acupuncture. "I was totally broken," she wrote in a five-star review of her experience. She had reached the point most chronic pain sufferers know well — when the pain isn't just physical anymore, it starts closing off parts of your life you used to take for granted. From her very first visit, something was different. "I immediately liked Jen, she is very understanding and put me at ease," she shared. "She explained the approach we were going to take with my condition and then asked me to set a goal." That's the part people don't expect from acupuncture: a plan, and a target to work toward. For this patient, the goal was a 12-day vacation she'd been wanting to take but didn't think her body could handle. "From the very first session, I knew acupuncture was for me," she said. "Jen is very gifted in how she treats each patient. It gave me lasting pain relief without side effects, which is amazing!!" Week by week, the improvement kept building. "Every week I could feel that I was having less pain than the week before and doing more in my days and weeks," she wrote. By the end of the following September, she and Jennifer both knew she was ready. She took her 12-day trip — pain-free, and on her own terms. Sciatica. Piriformis pain. Peripheral neuropathy. These conditions can make ordinary life feel small — sitting, standing, walking, even sleeping through the night. If pain has been dictating what you can and can't do, this patient's story is proof that it doesn't have to stay that way. "Jen really takes the time to address the issues you're having," she said — and that's the difference patients feel from their very first appointment. If you're living with pain that's been labeled chronic, or that no one else has been able to resolve, Jennifer Beltrani at Bethpage Acupuncture can help you build a plan of your own — with a goal at the end of it.
