98 year old Treated for Hip Pain
On April 25, I received an acupuncture treatment administered by Eric Sherrell. It was pleasant and beneficial. He inserted at least 8 needles in my arms and legs. There was a very slight "prick" when a couple of them were inserted, but I did not feel most of them at all. Then I rested about 30 minutes, until it was time to remove them. There was no bleeding or bruising at the sites. I had been experiencing arthritis pain in my left hip. I had no more pain for about a week and after that the pain was slight and does not bother me much. I expect the pain could be completely controlled with several more treatments. I trust Mr. Sherrell and feel that he is quite competent in the field of acupuncture.

After being treated by various acupuncturists, I came to Sherrell Acupuncture. The first time Eric treated me, I suffered from severe neck pain with spasms. My pain was so intense I could barely
do normal daily activities. My pain subsided immediately after he started inserting needles on the first treatment. After a couple of acupuncture sessions, my pain was gone. The second time I came to Sherrell Acupuncture was for severe PMS and cramping during my period. Eric treated me with a series of acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. The Chinese herbal formulas have worked better and more immediately than any other supplements I’ve used. My PMS symptoms have subsided tremendously. Before Eric’s treatments, I experienced 7 to 10 days of PMS symptoms including breast tenderness; bloating & extreme mood swings before my period, and painful cramping during menstruation. After a few treatments my PMS symptoms start only a day before my period began and have lessened by 80%. I am optimistic that with continued acupuncture and herbs, I will continue to improve.

Pain & Allergies
I have had chronic sinusitis
for many years, which worsened considerably in the years that I have been living in the highly polluted city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have lived here for around twenty years. (While visiting the United States) I arrived back in Denver after a long car trip from Wichita, Kansas feeling very weary and with aching muscles as well as sinus and allergy problems. Dr. Eric Sherrell applied some acupuncture, which alleviated my (sinus) problems within the fifteen to twenty minutes the needles were in my body. Several days later, I received another treatment. This time he worked on an old injury to my left big toe. I injured my toe about two years ago in a nasty fall. I caught the top part of my toe in the corner of the bed frame as I went down and made a type of a curve with my body. Since then, I have been able to only wear highly padded shoes with thick soles and which don't put any pressure on top of my big toe. Once again I felt a good measure of pain relief after only a few minutes of having the needles applied.What I experienced within a few minutes of treatment has totally convinced me of the value of acupuncture as well as the skill of Dr. Eric Sherrell and his training, study, and experience. Judging from the two short treatments received, I would highly recommend his ability to carry out acupuncture as a means of alleviating pain and treating various medical and physical problems.

Insomnia
Eric's been treating my sleep problems for quite a few years with herbs. Almost immediate relief. I no longer toss and turn for hours, but fall asleep within 15 minutes and stay asleep significantly longer for a good night's rest the preponderance of the time. What a relief!

Pain
Thanks, Eric! Glad I found you when I searched for acupuncture in Westminster, CO! My pain is....definitely feeling better.

Intestinal Bug
Eric treated me for an intestinal bug I picked up during a summer overseas. I'm extremely sensitive to allopathic treatments, especially antibiotics ( I always seem to end up with the rarest of side-effects, which allopathic practitioners don't always tell you about when they prescribe harsh medications). I struggled with the parasite for several months and lost twenty pounds before I discovered a gentle and effective treatment in the Chinese Herbs that Eric prescribed. I was a bit skeptical at first because I'd never tried Chinese medicine before, but Eric was extremely knowledgeable and logical in his discussion of the treatment so I tried it. After a few days I was feeling much better and after a week I was completely recovered (though I still maintained the regimen for the full ten days). I haven't had any problems since (except for the unfortunate part about gaining 30 pounds back!). With all of the quacks out there promoting questionable "alternative" treatments and fads for everything that ails, it was a great relief for someone in my situation to find a real practitioner with a solid education ( and high level certification) and a rational approach to non-allopathic treatments.
