To Whom It May Concern:
I am a 62-year old man who had an idiopathic avascular ostenoecrosis in my right hip as a boy. As a consequence I walked on crutches and put all of my weight on my left leg for over three years as a boy and, after using the crutches, most of my weight on that same leg for the following 50 years. This condition resulted in my having a right hip replacement surgery last year. More relevant to this letter, starting over ten-years ago, I developed chronic sciatica pain in my left buttock, left hamstring and into my left foot. It became so severe that I stopped all physical exercise for the last five years in order to avoid the pain. Physical exercise contributes not only to my physical health but also, and probably to a greater degree, to my emotional health. In order to address this pain I have,over the years, consulted with physicians and surgeons mostly to be ignored or given prescriptions for MRIs (which were not useful for diagnosis) and then physical therapy or chiropractic, neither of which were effective in eliminating or reducing the pain. When I met with Glenn Hensle he provided me with the most in-depth analysis of what was causing my pain and also what he could do to diminish it. Although confident in his diagnosis and intended intervention, Glenn was always calm, focused on my concerns and expressed sympathy about my situation. These are not attributes I found in the physicians and surgeons with whom I had consulted previously. Glenn provided two sessions of painless electro-acupuncture. Since those treatments I am walking four-miles daily without pain and I am now considering returning to even more strenuous exercise at the gym. Glenn Hensle is a healer you need to consult if you are in any discomfort. He is a knowledgeable, concerned and experienced professional in the realm of addressing and solving the discomfort of people.
John C. Thank you so much Glenn. I came to you in May after reading about you in a local news paper, hoping that you can help me and my husband speed up the process of conceiving our first child. Both you and your staff made my first visit relaxing and comfortable. Thanks, I was really nervous, I didn’t know what to expect. By going to my weekly visits you not only made me a happier person by reliving me of server fatigue but you help me accomplish my goal, my husband and I are now expecting our first child in March of 2008. Great huh?
I just wanted to take the time and really express, that you’ve just made me the luckiest and happiest person. I was skeptical at first and didn’t really think that acupuncture could help with fertility. BOY was I wrong. In a manner of weeks, I was feeling great and in mid June I conceived. Thank you so very much…
Sincerely your patient:

Acupuncture– what can I say? Well I guess I can begin with saying is up until about a year ago I would have never considered the possibility of a needle being stuck into my body to relieve any type of pain. Today I am here to tell you that without acupuncture and meeting Glenn Hensle I would probably still be in pain and limping like a pirate.
Approximately one year ago I had a freak type of accident where my left knee was swollen and in excruciating pain. After three months of going to my general practice physician and then being referred to an orthopedic surgeon the pain was increasing with no known cause. They were treating me like my pain was imaginary. Trust me the pain was real.
One day while limping around at work a colleague asked if I had considered acupuncture. I laughed and said no way. Later in the day, still limping around at work, another colleague said “you should go and see an acupuncturist and see if they can help you”. Now two separate conversations in one day about acupuncture did raise my curiosity although I still was not in the mindset to consider the whole needle thing. I can honestly say I am a true coward when it comes to needles. This truth is they are not what we consider traditional needles. They are small wire like implements that you can barely feel when inserted into your skin.
Well to make a long story short after several sleepless nights I woke up one morning went through the Yellow Pages searching for an acupuncturist and saw Glenn Hensles’ name. Until today I don’t know what possessed me to select him but I did. On my first visit he did a consultation to try to figure out what was causing the problem and believed that it was just one of those freak accidents where I hit a nerve in a vulnerable point in my knee that set off the nightmare of pain I suffered.
After 3 months of treatments I was walking and experiencing little to no pain. No drugs required. Glen was patient and unlike traditional medicine was not willing to give up on my problem. Here I am today true believer in acupuncture.
If any of you experience pain and all traditional medical practitioners want to do is give you medication to trick you into thinking you’re not in pain – consider acupuncture. Trust me it works.
