Chronic Pain All But Gone! I have been receiving acupuncture from Mary Jean to treat chronic neck pain I have suffered with for over 6 years. I am so happy to report that I am having days with very little pain! I am thrilled at the progress we have made and for the first time in YEARS I feel hopeful that I can get to a place where I am pain free. What a gift.
