Ann Mongeau, L.Ac., RN
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

My Journey "After 30 years of nursing, I went back to school to learn Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (OM). I did this because after 6 weeks of treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, my life long allergies to dust, mold and pollen were gone. After trying all that Western medicine has to offer, I was faced with a lifetime of medication or allergy shots." "I researched the history and effectiveness of the medicine, went back to school and realized I had found my niche. The best part for me is that many people who have exhausted traditional treatment options with Western medicine have found relief from Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. It's a wonderful feeling to help those who have nearly given up hope to ever feel better." Ann Mongeau

What people say about Ann: "I was skeptical about acupuncture, then I gave it a try. I was amazed at how effectively Ann treated me for sciatic pain and migraine headache. I walked in with pain and walked out pain free! If you have chronic pain, I highly recommend you let Ann treat you as soon as possible." --Lisa Russel, Maple Grove "I have had phenomenal results from the acupuncture treatment from Ann Mongeau. She treated me because I have allergies to pollens during the spring. One treatment, and my nose quit running and I felt terrific. The best part was that I didn't need antihistamines! Thanks, Ann! Your treatment really works and I'm sending all my friends to you." --Kathy Gillen, Elk River "For approximately seven years I have suffered knee pain resulting from an automobile accident. After approximately one month of weekly treatments, I could see improvement. The swelling and joint pain I have felt for so long was nearly gone. I have continued to receive acupuncture for six months now and I have been so very happy with my results!" ==Patty Koenig, RN., Ramsey
