MLB Players

A professional MLB player (2021 season) presented following a severe injury that required emergency surgery and resulted in being sidelined for the remainder of the season. In addition to postoperative physical pain, the patient reported significant mental and emotional strain, including stress related to inactivity, concerns about long-term physical outcomes, and financial implications.

The patient sought support primarily for mood regulation. A treatment plan of acupuncture was initiated, focusing on nervous system regulation, improving meridian flow in areas impacted by injury and surgery, and supporting sleep quality.

Treatments were conducted once weekly for three weeks, followed by biweekly sessions, and then transitioned to monthly maintenance. Each session lasted approximately 20 minutes.

The patient reported noticeable improvements in mood, emotional balance, and overall well-being, with continued engagement in care for ongoing support.

What Our Reviews Say

I have been seeing Nikki since 2017 and she has helped me in so many ways! I first visited her clinic with chronic back pain that wasn’t responding to other treatments. After working with her I found tremendous relief. Since then, she has helped me deal with the pain of a broken rib and during COVID I had some anxiety issues and found acupuncture was such a relief.

I've been visiting TCM EastWest for acupuncture for about three years now, and it's made a real difference. I initially came in with persistent arm and shoulder pain, and the ongoing relief was noticeable after just a few sessions. Since then, I've continued periodic treatments as part of my regular health maintenance and de-stressing. The care is professional, consistent, and genuinely effective. Highly recommended.

Had my first acupuncture experience at TCM EastWest. It was so great! Nikki accessed the pain I’ve been having in my ankle from basketball. She explained the meridians and placed needles appropriately to help target that area. I left the appointment feeling great! Thank you!
