My Spinal Osteoarthritis has been helped considerably since acupuncture treatments. My hip pain has gone from 12½ to ½ on a 1 to 10 scale. Someday I will be completely pain free. I should have started acupuncture treatments sooner.

I cannot speak too highly of Bill Skelton's medical professionalism and innovative medical practice. Modern acupuncture as it is practiced by Dr. Skelton has the highest standards of diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of the results.

This did not hurt a bit.  As a matter of fact it felt great, soothing and relaxing.  I slept during the treatment and really feel much better, with less pain and easier movement.  I was skeptical and worried about the treatment hurting me.  I am looking forward to the next treatment.  Ray C., Lexington, S.C.  

I have been a patient of Dr. Skelton for almost 15 years. I have had neck and shoulder pain for years. Acupuncture controls this pain. Fifteen years ago I was told that surgery was the only alternative, but guess what, I still haven't had surgery. I only need an occasional treatment to keep feeling  great.

This was fantastic! Thank you.  Your showed me how to get well.  You were honest with me and encouraged me to engage in the process of finding my health again.  Thanks, thanks, thanks.    GT, Spartanburg, S.C.           

I did not think it was possible to feel this good again. I was told over and over again that I would just have to learn to live with my pain.  My doctors are amazed and have been sending others to you. I am so glad I found out about you.                       LS, Columbia, S.C.

I have had acupuncture before by others but no one else has provided relief in such a short time.  Your style is much more gentle and you just seem to know where to treat me.  PM, Columbia, S.C.

I have suffered from migraines for years and even though acupuncture hasn't cured me of them, the frequency and severity of the attacks have diminished significantly.
T.P., Columbia, S.C.

Before I went to The Acupuncture Clinic I had been to almost every specialist in the world and found no relief. These specialists took thousands of dollars and would either say that they couldn't do anything or my predicament was imaginary. My health deteriorated to the point that it seemed to interfere in my daily and professional life. Then I went to The Acupuncture Clinic and I felt so much better. I felt well enough to see hope. There are times when illness can really bring you down both emotionally and physically. The Acupuncture Clinic tries to take a proactive role in cheering you up and making you feel like you can overcome the obstacles caused by illness. I cannot say enough good things about The Acupuncture Clinic and Dr. Skelton. When everyone else said that medical science couldn't help me and I should anticipate ever-existing pain throughout my life, acupuncture happened to relieve one of my greatest burdens.

How did you do that? I hardly felt a thing during the treatment and now I hardly feel my pain.  This is only the third treatment and it is better than it has been in four years.  L.S.C., Camden, SC

I smoked two packs a day for over 30 years and have tried all types of ways to quit. Your treatment was the easiest of them all and so far is working to the point that I have stopped the longest in my life. I like the way you explained the treatment and helped me understand the smoking problem.  I am sending my children to you for treatment as a Christmas gift. Edward, Columbia, S.C.

I came to the Acupuncture Clinic after exhausting all other methods of medications and physical therapy for a closed head injury and dislocated jaw. After major surgery on my TMJ joint and jaw, I lived two years without being able to open my mouth more than four centimeters and living on pastries and milk. I am now able to open my jaw to 28 centimeters and I have reduced the amount of pain medications. I feel like I did not begin to heal until I came to The Acupuncture Clinic.
SP, Augusta, GA.

The Acupuncture Clinic was recommended to help reduce chronic pain and muscle spasms and to try and reduce the amount of pain medications I was taking. I still have good days and bad days, but I know that without acupuncture I would not have advanced to where I am today. Dr. Skelton is a wonderful person. Through him I have learned relaxation and learned how to cope better with my pain. I don't know where I would be today without the acupuncture and encouragement I get from Dr. Skelton.
A.J., Columbia, S.C.

Everyone is so kind and caring from the doctor to the receptionist. Dr. Skelton is open to trying what is best for the patient. He listens and lets the patient be proactive in their care. He has helped me tremendously and I have suffered from migraine headaches and allergies for over 20 years.
J.B., Columbia, S.C.

The Acupuncture Clinic should be on everyone's health list. It reduces and eliminates pain. It is a relaxing experience. The staff is great.
C.O., Lexington, S.C.

When I experienced back pain from muscle spasms, I tried lots of treatments including traditional medicine, chiropractic, massage and deep-tissue realignment. Finally someone suggested acupuncture, and it work where none of the above did. I've found it helpful for quitting smoking as well as sinus problems.
C.B., Columbia, S.C.

Approximately 12 years ago, my family physician suggested that I visit Dr. Bill Skelton to see if he could relieve my headaches and treat allergy and sinus problems. Dr. Skelton's treatments were effective; however, I do continue on a maintenance program for control. Otherwise, I have problems. I recommend acupuncture to anyone who has allergies, chronic pain, immune system&/or sinus problems. I'm sure acupuncture is effective in many other ways but I have "first-hand" knowledge of these.
A.M., Chapin, S.C.

After suffering with intense back pain for almost a year, I decided to try acupuncture at the suggestion of a friend. My very first visit provided amazing relief. The day after my first treatment was the first time in eight months that I could put my socks on without lying on a bed. I was not intellectually predisposed to accept positive results from acupuncture and was truly surprised, astonished and pleased.
C.A., Spartanburg, S.C.

After trying every conventional therapy suggested to help my balance and pain problems and getting no relief, I decided to try acupuncture. It has helped with both problems and others I have used it for. I encourage everyone I know with chronic pain to try it and have had only positive results whenever I get treatment.
J.M., Columbia, S.C.

I have had chronic neck and back pain for 20 years. Treatment has consisted of various options including chiropractic care, orthopedic care and physical therapy. I have used pain medications as well as muscle relaxants. My chiropractor sent me here and my level of comfort and range of motion has improved. It seems to last longer than massage therapy. I would recommend this as a treatment option because it works.
S.D., Columbia, S.C.

I have suffered with chronic migraine headaches for years. I have tried everything and nothing seemed to help. Acupuncture has decreased the number and severity of my headaches
L.F., Jonesville, S.C.

This is my second experience with acupuncture and it appears to be working well for tendonitis in my elbow thanks to you. I am very excited to be pain free and have a life again.
