George Wellbeing Center — Local services in Minneapolis

I am a single healthy , 72 1/2 years of age, white female on a fixed income. My career has been in floral design, using my hands to create. I retired in the Summer of 2018: In the Spring/Summer of 2020 I began to develop a soreness in the ring finger of my right hand. The soreness was in the connection of my finger to my hand and what I thought went into the knuckle . I thought arthritis, settled in to keeping as active as possible for as long as possible. The pain became worse as did the catching, which I was told by a friend it was “ trigger finger “ . It was a challenge to open cans and bottles. My left knee was injured, causing pain when I exercised, and walked. September 2020 I believe was when the YMCA began to offer Group Accupumcture at Blaisdell and St. Paul Midway. I believe in Eastern medical procedures, signed up and began to be a regular. The Doctors were exceptional. I mentioned about my “ arthritis “ in my finger. Dr. Christine Grisham and Dr. Rae both suggested it be Deputryens, and begun treating me for that. There was improvement, then the service was interrupted by COVID , and the closing of the YMCAs. January, 2021 when Group Accupumcture resumed offering treatments I signed up. As of the middle of March 2021, I have no pain or catching in my ring finger of my right hand, or the knuckle. We continue to treat the area every second or third visit . My knees are both improved, as have all the areas which we continue to treat. Accupumcture is helping me with sleep, anxiety, depression, cravings, with my cholesterol, moods, overall well-being . My sciatic nerve in my right hip was triggered, Accupumcture relieved the pain. When I feel i may have triggered it, we deal with it right away so the pain is never severe. Thank you for offering Group Accupumcture at the YMCA and for the excellent Doctors !

They do it all! This is such a great addition to downtown and a much needed oasis.

I love group acupuncture and the wellbeing center has given me access to a service I’d always wanted to try. The practitioners are genuinely caring and have helped me with a range of things from muscle pain, mood / mental well-being, to recovering from surgery. I layout how I’m feeling and they take care of me with ease and grace. We’re lucky to have this service and I’m so glad they’re at an...

I could write a book about how I feel about Ray. I would pay money just to sit next to her that sounds so over dramatic but it is the truth. I have probably done 200 accupunture appointments in my life and she is by far the best. She is like a Ferrari. If you have anything that needs some TLC I would vouch my soul on her abilities. We have opposite personalities but I respect her more than any conventional medical...
