Lymes Disease and Chronic Illness

Chronic Illness

What happens when a group of people with chronic illness gets the same treatments from doctor after doctor…specialist after specialist…flying around the country and driving 100’s of miles to find a cure?  Most often they discover that conventional medicine does not have many answers for people who are chronically ill.  They’re not sick enough for life saving surgery that western medicine is so prolific at and the medications being prescribed make them feel lethargic, nauseous, spacey, numb and sometimes hyper stimulated.  Usually, this group with chronic illness starts to look outside of conventional medicine around the 2-5 year mark as their symptoms get progressively worse and the foods they can tolerate get smaller and smaller, and the hours they can remain coherent each day begin to dwindle.

I had chronic neck, shoulder, upper and lower back pain for over 20 years and have received Physical Therapy, Western Massage, Chiropractic adjustments, and Acupuncture. Each of those only offered temporary relief. I’ve been seeing Brian for almost one year now and the first few months were very difficult, both physically and emotionally because Catch a Fish Acupuncture & Wellness works on the person as a whole. Today, I don’t walk around like a turtle in a shell anymore and I smile from the inside out. Brian is a truly gifted practitioner. I’ve told all of my friends and I’ll tell anyone who will listen. If you know you can feel better than you do today, contact Brian.

Screen shot 2015-11-02 at 5.26.19 PMBrian helped me heal from an injury I feared I would never understand or overcome. When  I first came to Catch A Fish for treatment, I was barely able to perform even every day tasks due to a severely  immobilized spine. I was terrified - other practitioners (including  spine specialists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other alternatives) had given up on how to help me.   Brian saw my case as a puzzle and was determined to  try to solve it. Not only did his acupuncture and shiatsu treatments offer direct and dramatic relief from pain with lasting effect, but he helped me recognize and understand the root causes of the problem as well as strategies for self-care. Now I am back to being able to do all the things I love to do – including dancing and hiking!. Brian is a true healer, and I am so thankful for his treatment and care. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Acupuncture TestimonialI was browsing the internal website at work when I decided to open my mind and give alternative medicine a chance with my chronic health condition. Brian Wah/To Catch a Fish was on the list of suggested practitioners. This was almost a year ago and I’ve been seeing Brian every 4-6 weeks since then.
Brian is very knowledgeable; he explained his methodology in very clear, commonsensical terms during my first visit. After my first session, I already noticed an improvement when I walked out of his office. During subsequent sessions, he continued to suggest practical exercises that I can do in between visits to augment his treatments.
Brian starts each session by patiently listening to how you feel and ends it by getting immediate feedback. He has been a great health coach in my healing process. He is very sensitive to the treatments I already undergo with my medical doctors and does not contradict them; instead he carefully offers suggestions for me to try for my overall well-being.
I’m quite convinced that Brian Wah is a master at what he knows and does. He has always been on point speaking from personal experience. I highly recommend him without reservation. (Reposted from our Linkedin profile)
