Testimonials – Pain Relief

“I love it here, I love it here so much. You should charge everyone but me more!”

“I visited Dr. Rozenn because I was experiencing constant numbness, itching and tingling above my left shoulder blade from a condition called notalgia paresthetica, to which my doctor told me there was no cure or treatment.  In addition, directly across from that sensation on my right shoulder blade I was experiencing sharp, excruciating pain when I tilted my head back.  Dr. Rozenn determined that these conditions were connected, and after 5 treatments my symptoms are nearly gone.  I can get my head back almost all the way before experiencing pain (I couldn’t even look at the ceiling before) and my itching/numbness/tingling are now intermittent and rare rather than constant.  Super happy with my results!” ~ Steph-Redwood City

“I have just recently started going to see Dr. Rozenn for my severe allergies, anxiety, and lower back pain, and over the course of a few months I have already noticed an immense difference! Dr. Rozenn is very knowledgeable in her field and is excellent at explaining things to a newcomer like myself. It is obvious that she truly cares about her patients, and she puts in a lot of time and effort figuring out the best treatments for each ailment. The office is comfortable and clean, and Dr. Rozenn and her team are very professional and kind. I really enjoy the acupuncture treatments, and I highly recommend Dr. Rozenn to anyone looking for help with their health!” ~ Julia P.-Santa Cruz

” I just finished doing my first marathon and have more planned.  THANK YOU.”

“I’ve been to several acupuncturists who were okay, but Maureen! Wow, Maureen is very thorough, asks great questions, listens closely, uses several modalities of treatment, and knows her craft! She is the definition of holistic medicine. I’ve had hormone imbalances for years and have known that this has spurred on a series of symptoms over time (numbness in my right hand being one of them). So when I recently had an onset of Carpel Tunnel in my right hand, I knew that Western medicine wasn’t going to help me. When you go to Maureen’s office with a symptom issue, she looks at the body as a whole. Because of this I am finally getting the treatment I’ve been searching for (the cause and symptoms of my hormone imbalance). I’ve seen Maureen three times so far and within that time, my Carpel Tunnel pain has reduced dramatically. I look forward to continuing my treatment with her.” Martha A ~ Santa Cruz

“I’ve been seeing Doctor Rozenn for many years. Her treatments are so effective, I will drive all the way from Oakland to visit her Santa Cruz office! Her treatments for my occasional neck spasms, deliver instant relief of pain with improvement in range of motion right after a visit. I also like the convenient, online appointment system – you can also call in and talk to the nice and friendly staff.” Dave B ~ Oakland

“Six weeks ago I visited Dr. Rozenn for the first time by friend’s recommendation. I was suffering from bad back pain, result of a previous sports injury. She not only treated my back pain, she also reduced my work induced stress level and as a ‘bonus’ removed my constant sugar craving. I am now pain free, more energetic and eat more balanced diet. To me, she is almost like magician.”~Dan S. Scotts Valley

“Dr. Rozenn is an intuitive and intelligent health provider. Several months ago I was referred to her for a chronic problem with my feet. I was diagnosed with planters fasciitis on both feet and had been in pain for the past three years. At one point I thought I was going to need a cane to walk.

“During this three year period I met with a podiatrist on four occasions. I had cortisone shots in both feet on two appointments without any relief.  I had two physicians prescribe medications and physical exercises to perform.  I had regular blood work performed without any new insights. In my first meeting with Dr. Rozenn she examined my one foot and heel. She asked me if I had a, “sweet tooth.”  I replied I had a sweet tooth that was off the charts.  She pointed a finger at me and said,”I think this is a problem with sugar.” She prescribed several supplements and an ointment. I immediately began to focus on my sugar intake noting the number of grams of sugar in everything I ate.  Almost immediately I saw an improvement and in six weeks I was pain free for the first time in three years .I could not be more pleased, and I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Rozenn.” ~ Dan P. San Francisco

“5 years of chronic pain, various practitioners visited with limited to no success... 5 weeks with Dr. Rozenn and the pain is gone.  Still baffled by a pain free existence, I’m willing my first born and all my best workshop tools to Dr. Rozenn.  She’s currently my favorite human, not to mention a complete medical wizard.”~ Jeff.S. Santa Cruz

“What is written in the paragraphs below is still true! More recently I decided to play superman when I tripped on an uneven sidewalk and went flying through the air. The landing was not kind on my right shoulder. I had torn my rotator cuff and injured my deltoid. I’ve been seeing Dr. Rozenn once or twice a month, and with just a couple of extra visits my “frozen” shoulder was back to having full mobility. I’m not saying it still wasn’t sore, but four weeks of recovery compared to the six months to a year that was anticipated is a fantastic tribute to her skills.

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Rozenn after being told by my physician to seek help elsewhere since Western medicine obviously wasn’t helping me (the best advice that doctor ever gave me). I originally sought help from Dr. Rozenn for daily chronic post-operative pain, and as a bonus she also helped me with scar reduction (you can hardly see it now) among other things. I have benefited on multiple occasions from her vast knowledge of endocrine issues, as well as herbal supplement and diet recommendations. It was surprising to me (after exclusively relying on Western medicine) to find out just how many things acupuncture can help with; now I will just ask her, “Is there is a needle for that?” when new ailments appear. My children were so impressed with my results, they started seeing her too! Dr. Rozenn really takes the time to listen to your symptoms before recommending the best treatment options for you. She is one of the best health care providers I have ever worked with and I highly recommend her and her staff to anyone suffering.

Dr. Rozenn recently moved to a very lovely office that affords larger quieter private treatment rooms with natural light. The new office also has additional client parking spots. My whole body just relaxes when I walk through the door in anticipation of a wonderful healing session that will leave me feeling calm and tranquil.” MariAnne W.

“I have minor scoliosis. One morning, out of nowhere, something shifted and my back went out. I was actually stuck in an excruciating, unnatural position for over a month. Aside from chiropractic treatments and exercises, I was bedridden and unable to pick up my new baby. It never fully righted and I lived in fear of recurring episodes.

“After lifting my then 2 year old, it happened. Stuck and in pain. This time I tried acupuncture with Dr. Rozenn instead. At the first visit, I was unable to lay on my stomach, so we did a face-up treatment. I wasn’t totally out of pain yet, but I could function and think clearly through it. I went back the next day and this time was able to lay on my sto

mach. Dr. Rozenn used a treatment called The Four Corners for shoulder-back-pelvic alignment, and to my utter relief I was feeling 100% better the very next day! Dr. Rozenn healed my back in just 2 days, compared to months of chiropractic that did not come close. Her structural treatments are amazing! To put icing on the cake, Dr. Rozenn’s postural, dietary and supplement advice totally shifted the way I carried my body weight and my energy levels. I feel like a new person! Don’t bother going to anyone else, she is a cut above the rest” -Nicole C. Santa Cruz

“I came to Dr. Rozenn seeking help for some pretty severe neck pain. Dr. Rozenn’s staff understood the amount of pain I was in , and they made sure I was seen as quickly as possible. Dr. Rozenn her self spent a great period of time getting to the root cause of my pain. She treated me for stress and addressed lifestyle issues that could make my pain change more quickly. It REALLY worked . My neck is improved in range of motion and decree in pain levels. Thank you taking care of me in my time of need ” Steve C~ Santa Cruz

“When I go to Dr. Rozenn I always feel heard and taken care of. I have chronic pain, a genetic condition that I don’t expect to be “cured” of. Western medicine has offered me addictive pain medication, physical therapy treatment is mind-numbing exercises. Neither of these work as well as my visits with the doctor. She has taught me how to have control over my pain by explaining to me how what I eat influences my inflammation, herbal formulas and of course acupuncture and massage. How I love my acupuncture/massage visits. Thank you, Dr. Rozenn for making my life better!” Stella~ Santa Cruz

“I have been to a few acupuncturists in my lifetime, and by far, making that initial appointment with Dr. Rozenn was a great choice for me. I have seen her for four months, and although my treatment plan has been focused on one specific matter, she has helped ease pains I didn’t know acupuncture could relieve… from painful menstrual cramps to sciatic pain. Running a 1/2 marathon without a touch of hip pain was amazing! Dr. Rozenn and Kasha (another acupuncturist and massage therapist) are a great team and have both been very warm and attentive with every visit. Always making sure to spend enough time with me for concerns, explanations and treatment.” Heather S. Santa Cruz

“I’ve been going to Dr. Rozenn for almost a year now, and she helped me through a long standing shoulder injury, back tweaks and numerous other problems with fantastic results. I’ll often get up from a session feeling completely recovered from a muscle injury, but her treatments go oh so much further than that.”

“Dr. Rozenn spends a great amount of time during each visit to really understand the issues I’m having, relates things to a much bigger picture that my current ‘pulled muscle’ and treats the whole body rather than the individual ache or pain. She explains things very thoroughly, as well. I’m so glad I found her!” Kimberly B. Santa Cruz.

“I had muscle pain for 15 years and tried everything, including  hypnosis, massage, rolfing, and Western and Eastern medicine and everything in between with no luck. Until I found Dr. Rozenn.  In desperation I decided to try acupuncture one more time.  She has changed my life!  She is an extremely talented acupuncturist (and I have been to enough different ones to know a good one) and extremely professional.  She operates her clinic on time and is absolutely respectful of her client’s issues.   I would recommend her to anyone.” Pamala D~ Santa Cruz

“I began seeing Dr. Maureen Rozenn two years ago. Then I had suffered from chronic, year-round sinus problems; joint, muscle and inflammation pain; frequent illnesses; and many other maladies it is now hard to recall.  I found going to Maureen as a first time Acupuncture client to be comfortable and reassuring. She was thorough in explaining everything she was doing. It was obvious her treatment plan was designed individually for me, and that she thought a lot about what was best for my personal situation.  Maureen’s holistic approach has completely ended almost all of my symptoms, and lessened those that have not fully resolved. I am healthy in a way I have never been healthy in my life. Thank you Maureen.” Leah ~ Santa Cruz

“I started going to acupuncture to relieve my persistent headaches.  I was referred to Maureen by a friend and have been so grateful to find such a great acupuncturist!  After one visit my headaches have completely subsided! Maureen is extremely personable and really knows what she’s doing.  She’s especially keen for any women’s health issues.  I would recommend acupuncture for whatever ails you…and definitely go to Maureen, she’s great!” Jen C.~ Santa Cruz

“In a short time, Maureen has relieved my degenerative L5 lower back pain significantly.  She has also helped me with migraines, neck pain, allergies and more.  I’m a huge fan – she listens on many levels and is informative and understandable.  Along with her extensive education and experience, I also trust and appreciate her intuitive sense.  Maureen has a calming presence and good humor.  I agree with other review about not ever feeling rushed, the focused individual attention and soothing environment.  Her recommendations for nutritional supplements have been spot on – particularly with Ultraclear and Pollenase.  I recommend her highly to anyone for anything – everyone for everything!” Melanie O.~ Santa Cruz
