I have been suffering with neck shoulder and back damage from some accidents in my younger years, the pain would wake me from dead sleep multiple times a night every night for thirteen years, and nothing seemed to help. Trying everything from chiropractic, salt floating, ultrasound therapy, and physical therapy -just to list a few- for over 13 years, I finally decided to go and try acupuncture. Wanting to find the best possible expert in this field I researched and found Dr. Shahla, at Carnation Acupuncture in Worchester Mass. Dr. Shahla’s talent knowledge and expertise gave my body the edge it needed to overcome those decade old injuries that were so stubbornly persistent and disabling my life. If you suffer from any chronic tension, disabling migraines, nerve pain in the neck back and shoulders, then I highly recommend that you go visit her and sooner than later do not wait decades as I did! - Nicholas Waine 🙂

I have been seeing Dr. B for close to one month now, twice a week for severe debilitating low back pain. The amount of relief has been so incredible for such a short treatment time. I had tried many treatment modalities prior to accupuncture with Dr. B. Countless hours of Physical Therapy at centers and home have not done what Dr. B has done with her expertise in acupuncture. Dr. B is excellent at what she does and is a very caring person. She clearly wants to help her patients as she expresses the need to know how you are feeling to adjust the treatments each time to enable you to heal. I would give Dr. B ten stars if there were ten stars. Thank you Dr. B.

Very good place to be for your service and she always smiles and respect the patient.

"... [after treatment] the pain was gone and I was pretty much back to normal. I was skeptical acupuncture would work on [my] injury but I'm sold."

"Had a great experience, everyone in the office was so nice, and treatments were so relaxing. The cosmetic acupuncture was awesome and Shahla is incredible!"

"So helpful and willing to work with you to correct any issues you are working through...Shahla is also very kind and empathetic and wants to help you get better. "

"I couldn’t say enough good...[the treatment] has definitely brought my stress and anxiety down significantly. Dr. Shahla formed a plan specific to my needs and concerns."
