Testimonial for Gail Daugherty, Licensed Acupuncturist, MAcOM
I have only excellent things to say about Gail Daugherty. I referred several patients to her and they were all very pleased with the results.
I felt that any patient referred to Gail would benefit from her expertise and often showed functional improvements which would enhance my therapy as well. She showed a tremendous knowledge of acupuncture and pain management. With the overwhelmingly positive feedback from my patients, I had several treatments myself and was very impressed with the outcome.

Limited Range of Motion in Arm, Low Back, Hip Pain
I had limited range of motion in left arm due to breakage of years previous. Compensation for pain perhaps caused right side and lower back and hip issues. In just that first session I could move my arm to the back of my head pain free!! She then moved to the right side where range of motion already good (sic) but pain in lower back. Within minutes, pain free for first time in months. Do not think twice about trying this. — C.W.

Knee Pain/Fear of Needles/Athlete
If you've ever questioned the science of acupuncture or were afraid of needles; this review is for you.
I am normally extremely adverse to needles. Extremely. However, I had been told by multiple sources about Gail and the incredible work she'd performed. So, I found myself in a quandary; I had just recently done some damage to my knee but I was days away from my tennis teams playoffs. I didn't have a choice. I had to seek help and I had to suck up my fear of needles.
So; I called Gail.(sic)
Perhaps she knew how frightened I was, maybe she didn't. She talked me through each move she was about to do; none of that surprise popping stuff you get at the Chiro. I've never understood how a needle in one place of your body could alleviate the pain elsewhere but who am I to judge? After 15 minutes of mild discomfort; (seriously wish my Dr's knew how to draw blood as painless as she worked her needles), multiple parts of my body had started releasing their tension. I can't explain it, just know I'm a cynic that now believes. Tomorrow, I suit up for my teams playoff chances; a BIG thank you to Gail for that. I will be back :) - O.C.
Elbow Swollen and Painful
When I first saw Gail my right elbow was swollen and painful. By the final treatment the swelling had almost completely gone and I was having minimal discomfort – a vast improvement. — G.L.
Jaw Pain
I went in to see Gail for jaw pain that had been bothering me for about a week. I wasn't sure what the cause was but thought acupuncture could help. It only took one session with Gail to rid me of the pain. Now, 6 months later, I am still pain-free just like her business name implies. 5 stars a well the way! - E.G.
Improved Sleep, Shoulder Pain, Stress
Gail is amazing! I have gotten acupuncture from many practitioners and Gail's treatments have by far been the most effective and enjoyable. She listens, explains exactly what is going to happen during the treatment, and has such a calm and soothing energy. She has helped me sleep better, eliminated my shoulder pain, and calmed me down during stressful times with her gentle techniques. I highly recommend her! - T.J.
High School Athlete, Knee Pain
I highly recommend Pain Free Acupuncture to anyone in the Dallas, Plano Mckinney, and surrounding area. Gail Daugherty is terrific, skilled, and an impressive healer.
My son sustained a knee injury while on running cross-country in high school. The pain was so intense he was told he wouldn't recover. After working with Gail, his pain subsided and she was instrumental in motivating him to try again.
Chronic Pain
Several car accidents have left me with severe chronic pain. I have tried everything to find relief from the constant pain. Some of the only relief I've found has been from Gail. If you know anyone who needs help with pain or stress management, I highly recommend they give Gail a call.
For the first time in years, I have found someone who understands how to treat, and relieve my pain. Anyone living with chronic pain knows what an incredible feeling that is! When I'm dealing with someone that is treating my pain, I personally need them to be someone I can feel completely comfortable around. Gail is that person.
The only thing that outshines her AMAZING personality is her professionalism, and magical needles! I would recommend anyone to her. - T.M.
Hip Pain, Limping
I want to thank you so much for all your help and kindness. I have been walking without a limp and no hip pain. - Gaye
Back Pain
Gail is Awesome! She is so friendly, comfortable to talk to and really knows what she's talking about! I was a little weary at first about needles, but she explains everything and makes you feel very comfortable. I have chronic back pain and we were able to get my pain from a level 8 to a level 3 just in the first treatment! This stuff really helps, so give it a try! Also, such a friendly front desk staff! - C.W.
Migraines
Gail is amazing! I have suffered from migraines for over 10 years and have tried everything from different medications to receiving Botox injections. Once seeing Gail and having acupuncture combined with her knowledge of Chinese herbs I can honestly say there has been such an improvement! I now only have one or two migraines a month compared to 15-20. If you suffer from migraines Gail is the person you need to see!

Back Pain
Gail is friendly, knowledgable, and provides excellent/top notch service as an acupuncture therapist. I tried acupuncture for minor back pain after several other types of treatment failed to improve/reduce the pain.
I was amazed at how quickly acupuncture worked, and within 3 treatments my pain was almost non-existent. Gail’s approach to acupuncture is very patient focused – she is very thoughtful, answers questions in a friendly manner, and genuinely cares about the well being of each person receiving treatment.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to try acupuncture therapy for pain, allergies, or general stress relief. Gail is the best!

Sciatica
For anyone living with pain–get to Gail!! I had a severe sciatic episode and had to practically crawl into my appointment (which by the way was SO easy to schedule online!!).

Knee Pain When Using Stairs, Decreased Mobility
Gail’s acupuncture has helped my painful knees. I am walking with improved mobility and less pain when walking up and down stairs.

Knee Pain, Arthritis
For the past two years I have had pain and stiffness in both knees which hampered my running on a treadmill. I have been to an orthopedic doctor and diagnosed with arthritis and have been taking injections that helped for only a few months.
While at Cooper Fitness Center in September I met Gail and we talked about acupuncture. I used acupuncture 18 years ago to stop smoking and it worked as I was a three pack a day smoker. I started seeing Gail in September for both knees and overall well being. After just a few visits my pain in the knees have stopped and I just finished running 2 1/2 miles.
My overall mood has changed on a more positive note. Gail is very professional and sincere in the desire to reduce pain. She is a pleasure to talk and makes things very easy to understand. I will recommend her to friends and coworkers. -M.G.

Upper Back, Neck Stiffness, Shin Pain
In just one session, Gail was able to relieve my upper neck and back stiffness! She also eradicated pain in my shins that I thought I would just have to live with. (I learned that the two are related in Chinese medicine/acupuncture.) Gail must be able to channel her calm energy through her needles – often times at the end of my sessions, I don’t want to get down from the cloud I’m on. In addition to her expertise in acupuncture, she studied with the founder of NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique) and is helping to rid me of some annoying allergies that have plagued me for years. I highly recommend Dr. Daugherty who can also answer dietary questions since she also has her PhD in nutrition! -G.B.

Chronic Sinus Headache, Arthritis, Neck Pain
I would like to add my story to the testimonials. After several years of arthritis neck pain, I was in an auto accident which aggravated my symptoms. Additionally, I suffer from chronic sinus headaches. I decided to try acupuncture when I heard about Gail and I have been amazed at the level of relief that was achieved with just four treatments. Gail genuinely cares about her clients and offers not only professional treatments, but also support and encouragement. I highly recommend her services.

Allergic Rhinitis, Low Back Pain, Sciatica Post-Epidural Treatment
I had lower back pain and sciatic pain in my leg. I had just had back epidurals 6 weeks prior but still felt pain. Gail’s treatments took 99% of all discomfort away. In addition, I have pronounced allergies and allergic rhinitis. Gail worked on these so that I could breathe better and the GI symptoms improved dramatically. For the first time my food allergies seemed reduced – my stomach was no longer bloated. My husband even noticed that my spirits were lifted. I had more energy and a brighter spirit as I was free of pain. — A.D.

Bloating and Severe Constipation
After I had my son via Cesarean I began to suffer from bloating and severe constipation. I had colonics which provided temporary relief, but soon after my condition would return. I began to watch my fiber intake, started taking a fiber supplement, exercised more, drank lots of water, used laxatives, took probiotics and nothing worked.
Finally out of desperation I decided to try acupuncture after watching a segment about it on The Today Show. I consulted with Gail Daugherty at The Cooper Center in McKinney (sic) and we worked out a flexible plan for me to receive four thirty minute sessions every Friday more a month. After the first treatment I felt some relief. Then after the second I felt more relief. After the third, more.
Four sessions into it I feel so much better and definitely feel that acupuncture played an important part in my recovery. – L.K.
Professional Athlete Testimonials
Olympic Hopeful Hamstring Pull, Limited Flexibility
For the past three years, I have been dealing with chronic hamstring pain originating from a series of muscle tears. The diminished mobility in my left leg and almost nonexistent flexibility kept me from competing at the international level of taekwondo, even after months of physical therapy.
After just one session of acupuncture, the results were drastic. I could stretch my left leg almost without pain. In the ensuing sessions, my results never ceased to amaze me, as more and more improvement followed each treatment. The flexibility in my left leg surpasses that of my right leg! Hopefully now I’ll be able to compete in Olympic team trials, for because (sic) of acupuncture, I now have no physical limitations. — K.M., age 17
