The result was 19 tablets of strong pain medication with numerous side effects. I have been coming to the Gastein Healing Gallery for treatment for 6 years now and have been able to reduce my medication to 4 tablets a day. My sleep problems have regulated themselves and the pain is bearable; even pain flare-ups are rare and no longer as intense. My mobility has improved dramatically, bringing joy and quality of life back into my everyday life. Gastein and the Healing Gallery have become my second home.
