Acute Back Pain

Ayla Yavin — Thu, 20 May 2010 21:41:52 +0000

Ayla was my first venture into acupuncture. I threw my back out, was heading to vacation in a week and could NOT move. A friend suggested trying acupuncture. Ayla was calm, efficient and new what she was doing, ONE needle in my hand alleviated 50% of my pain. I had three appointments with Ayla within the week and my back pain, I kid you not, was 85% gone. Looking forward to at least a few more sessions to get it all in shape and will go to her the minute my neck pops out of place (which happens every so often). I highly recommend Ayla!!

Pulled Hamstring

Ayla Yavin — Thu, 20 May 2010 21:41:22 +0000

Ayla is by far and away the best acupuncturist I’ve seen, and is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.As a martial artist, I have pulled both of my hamstrings before, and usually it takes about 6 months for them to heal enough to be used. Ayla worked on my hamstring after I’d pulled it (again) and got me better than I was before in about 2 months time.

Acute Neck Pain

Ayla Yavin — Thu, 20 May 2010 21:40:12 +0000

I came into Ayla on a Thursday with neck spasms so bad that I could barely walk. This was particularly problematic because that Sunday was my bridal shower. When I woke up the next morning after seeing Ayla, I felt so much better. When Sunday came around I was completely pain-free and able to fully enjoy my bridal shower. Thanks Ayla!

Endometriosis

Ayla Yavin — Thu, 20 May 2010 21:39:33 +0000

I came to Ayla suffering from extreme pain due to endometriosis. Ayla was able to significantly reduce my pain and regulate my period within one month, and give me hope for the future. I was told by doctors that there was no treatment for my condition apart from dangerous hormonal treatment or the removal of my uterus. I was also told that if I did not opt for one of these treatments I would be in severe pain for the rest of my life. I quickly discovered with Ayla that this was not necessarily going to be the case. Her warm-hearted nature and professional manner quickly put me at ease and relief from pain and the stress that accompanied it soon followed. I would recommend Ayla’s care to anyone—especially to those who have been convinced that pain is something that they will be forced to live with, or who are uncomfortable with the options that have been offered to them.

When friends ask me for an acupuncturist recommendation, which they sometimes do, I send them to Ayla Yavin. I go to Ayla, and have for years. She’s talented, but not dogmatic, or weird. She rides her bike from Brooklyn to her practice in Manhattan, and I feel comfortable with her. She was a dancer –used to be in De La Guarda! — and she understands both the body and busy urban life. I caught up with her to chat, and got her to talk about what she does, and why….~MR.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ayla Yavin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:38:09 +0000

After realizing that I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and not being able to function on a daily basis due to horrible pain. Knowing that I was not up for surgery, I searched the internet for options and found Ayla. Literally, after my first acupuncture treatment I felt almost 100% better, and could function better than the prior months before of constant pain.

Simply put Ayla is just a life saving angel here on earth that is caring and warm to anyone that walks in the door for help.

Low Back Pain

A Dancer’s Best Friend

Ayla Yavin — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:56:40 +0000

As a Broadway dancer, it is absolutely necessary to keep my body healthy for an eight-show week. After a minor knee surgery, I had heard that acupuncture could provide great physical therapy for me. Little did I realize just how many other benefits I would get out of it!

Not only has it been essential in healing my injuries, but I have managed to tackle digestive, reproductive, and sleep issues as well. Ayla is FANTASTIC at assessing how my body is doing from week to week, always creating an open dialogue for how I’m feeling. Sometimes she treats pain in specific areas, while other times she can treat my system as a whole. If I’m experiencing shoulder pain and the treatment targets that area, I leave feeling relieved…if I’m feeling lethargic, I leave the treatment feeling refreshed and energized…a year after my knee surgery and I no longer experience discomfort. She has also developed several herbal formulas for me, specifically designed to help with anxiety or digestive problems. They come in the form of great-tasting teas, AND they work!

Whether you are an athlete who fights physical pain regularly or a healthy person with an occasional ache or pain, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend acupuncture. There really are no limits as to what kind of ailment can be treated. And it helps to work with an acupuncturist like Ayla who will create a warm, comforting environment for anyone and who truly cares about helping her patients.

Menopause

Ayla Yavin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:02:41 +0000

I had just turned 54 and had symptoms associated with pre-menapause: swollen, painful breasts and extremely heavy bleeding during erratic menstrual periods. With my high estrogen levels, my gynecologist had no solutions, as hormones were no longer being prescribed by him for my condition. I asked him about acupuncture. He was skeptical and so was I. Well, I had nothing to lose so I went to see Ayla.
After a short interview during which I described my symptoms and mood, she then gave me a deeply relaxing acupuncture treatment. I left the office, armed with herbs in capsule form, feeling totally refreshed.
I visited Ayla four more times that month. The swelling & pain subsided. It’s been over a year and I’ve been fine ever since. Where traditional medicine couldn’t help me, acupuncture did. Thanks, Ayla!
