Interview with Jacqueline about neck pain

2. Week van de Acupunctuur

‘I have been revived from a dead bird to full of life again!’

What was the reason for you to go to the Acupuncturist?
‘First, I was treated by a physiotherapist for my neck complaints for a while, but unfortunately, those treatments did not yield a positive result. I also tried to get rid of my neck complaints with manual therapy, but that only made my complaints worse.

I couldn't cope anymore. Couldn't turn my neck anymore. Couldn't move anymore. Couldn't drive anymore. I mainly stayed at home like a little dead bird.

Then a friend suggested: Why don't you try acupuncture for once?
That seemed like a good idea to try, and that's how I ended up at Esther Buquet's. She really helped me fantastically!’

What was your first experience like when you came to Esther?
‘I entered a very pleasant and calm environment with nice music in the background and quickly felt at ease. Of course, the first time is always exciting because you don't really know what to expect, but Esther managed to make me feel comfortable. Esther listened well, empathized. We had a really good connection. Soon I had the feeling: This is going to be fine.
Once I got home after that first treatment, I became emotional. The tension was released. I finally got some stability back.’

How many treatments did you ultimately have for your neck complaints?
‘In total, I went to Esther nine times. At the end of that series, I had regained my life. I can move my neck freely again. I can drive again. I have become lively again from a dead bird.’

How did the whole process go for you? Did you notice the benefits of the treatments quickly?
‘As I said, the first time was of course a bit exciting, what awaits me? But Esther was there for me, listened to me, and managed to give me hope and support again. The next time I could relax a lot more. It was very pleasant. From the 5th treatment onwards, I could drive there by car myself. Earlier, I had to be brought there because I really couldn't drive a car. But from that moment on, I dared to do it. That was a very clear positive result for me. After that, it kept getting better and better. After the 9th treatment, I truly felt reborn. I was a different person again.’

It sounds like you are also very positive about Esther's approach!
‘Absolutely! I felt heard right away. She empathized with me and was there for me. I also tell everyone how amazing my experience is and I encourage people to give Acupuncture a chance. People may say it's scary with those needles. I say: 'It's nothing!' The first time may take some getting used to, but it's not bad at all. They use very thin needles that they insert into your skin. From the second time, you actually welcome them because you know why you're doing it.’

What do you say to others who could also benefit from Acupuncture?
'Give it a try. It will change you! For me, it's a 9-star story and I'm more than happy to pass it on, how incredibly well I have been helped with acupuncture.'
