Constant Headache, blocked ear & shoulder/arm pain

" I initially went to Alex at Re-creation as a friend had bought me a gift voucher for acupuncture after suffering with severe headaches, a blocked ear, and shoulder pain for 4 months. Prior to this appointment I'd had 7/8 sessions with an Osteopath, seen my GP, and I was also referred to specialists. The specialists concluded that the problems were not related, my shoulder would require physio due to a muscle problem, and my head problems were possibly stress related. The Osteopath treatments eased the pain for a very short time, but I didn't feel progression by the time my next appointment came.
 
At my initial consultation with Alex, I expressed my frustration, and general low feeling regards these problems, as I had suffered for months. I accepted from my GP that stress was a factor in some of the problems, but I just wanted the pain in my shoulder to go away, and wake up every morning headache free. I found Alex very approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about his job and helping people like me back to full health.
Each treatment was focussed on the problem areas, and for the first time since November I had days without headaches. Initially the headaches would return, but the duration without headaches started to get longer. I have now been headache
free for over 2 weeks, and my shoulder has 98% movement from previous. I am completely grateful to Alex for the treatment and results, so much that I will be continuing to see him monthly for a general health/well being session.
 
The last thing I would say is, I wish I had visited him sooner."
