Teresa Patient Review 06

Tennis Elbow — Hand Strength Returned

Patient experience: Right arm pain and weakness affecting daily life

“I’ve discovered a real hidden gem of a Chinese medicine clinic, and I absolutely have to recommend it!

During winter, I injured my right arm while chopping firewood. I initially thought it was just a muscle strain and that it would get better with some rest. However, after almost two months, it actually became worse. I could barely make a fist with my right hand and had very little strength, which seriously affected my daily life.

I eventually went to see my GP and was diagnosed with tennis elbow. Around the same time, I met Teresa, an acupuncturist, at a church camp. She was incredibly patient in listening to me, carefully analysing my condition and explaining what was happening.

Every treatment was very precise and tailored to my condition. She used a combination of acupuncture, cupping and bloodletting therapy. After several treatments, my tennis elbow was finally relieved, and the strength in my right hand has returned!

It was honestly an amazing healing experience, and I’m so grateful to Teresa. I sincerely recommend her and this clinic to anyone who is looking for help with similar problems.”
