Shoulder Pain and Weight Loss

"For several months, I suffered from left side shoulder and arm pain, as well as numbness. While on my way to work, I saw the Chinese Acupuncture & Herbal Center sign and decided to call. After 4 treatments, my shoulder pain was relieved. I asked Dr. Li to help me lose weight, which has been a long time problem for me. I have tried different diet programs that over the years with little success. I could not believe when I tried acupuncture treatment once a week for three months, I had lost 39 lbs and my belly size shrank from XL 2 to 18. I am full of energy now and tell everybody about acupuncture.

Stop Smoking
"Stress and smoking were controlling my life. A friend suggested that I make an appointment with Dr. Li about my condition. After a few treatments, I am less stressed, smoking-free and feel much more relaxed and happy. I continue weekly treatments to help control my constant stress. It really helps!"

Acid Reflex
"I have been frustrated about acid reflex for several years, and during the last six months, it had gotten much worse. One of my therapists told me about acupuncture treatment. I began to go to the Boston Acupuncture Center once a week. Dr. Li not only used Chinese acupuncture treatments, but also taught me Chinese food therapy. In only 6 visits, my digestion improved, and my acid reflex has been 90% controlled. Now I can enjoy delicious foods again!"

Depression and Insomnia
"In general, I have been full of energy and I like outdoor activities, such as surfing, roller-skating and bicycling, etc. However, two years ago, my 6 years relationship was over, and my mood was down to hell. I was very depressed. I couldn't sleep. I felt tired all the time. I also lost my appetite and had no motivation to do anything. My psychologist introduced me to Dr. Li. He started using acupuncture and herb treatment once a week. The results were incredible. Every time after acupuncture treatments I felt better immediately. My energy, appetite and sleep got much better, and now I feel positive. If my emotions have a little wave down, I always like to have an acupuncture treatment to tune up my body."

Irregular Period and Infertility
"I never had a regular period since I was 13 years old, and had three miscarriages before I visited the Acupuncture Center. The last miscarriage was five years ago. I had tried to get pregnant for several years. My husband and I decided to try IVF combined with acupuncture treatment. After 3 months, my period became regular, but the first IVF wasn't successful. Six months later, I started the 2nd IVF cycle and also had acupuncture treatment twice a week. Today, six years later, I have a 5 year old daughter and a 6 month old son. We are convinced acupuncture made my life so different."

Asthma
"My daughter Juky has had Asthma since she was born. Although she is only 10 years old, she has been using steroid medicine more than 3 years to control the symptoms (almost 3 times a day). We were trying to find some natural and safe treatments for her. I saw the advertisement of Blue Cross and Blue Shield that showed Acupuncture for Asthma Kids. I talked to Juky and she willing to try. However, she only tried 5 treatments, and she did not continue due to her school schedule. An amazing thing happened. For the next three months, we slowly took her off all her steroid medicine. Now she is 13 years old, and only needs an inhaler when the weather changes or after strong exercise, other than that, she is medicine free and she breaths very comfortably."

Ankle and Foot Pain
"I am a ballet dancer and have to use my ankles and feet a lot. Before the Christmas of 2002, I had a big performance with "The Nut Cracker". I needed to rehearsal 5 to 6 hours every single day. It caused my ankles and feet so much pain. I decided to try acupuncture, the drug free therapy. I saw the sign of Dr. Li who uses acupuncture, magnets, heating lamp and a massage combination treatment. The results were incredible. After only a few treatments, my ankle and feet pain were totally gone, and I did the best performance.
Now, whenever I have neck, shoulder or low back pain, I always try acupuncture instead of use pain killer pills."

Car Accident
"I had a terrible car accident in 2000. When I was waiting for traffic light, a truck hit my car from the back. Over the next 6 months, my neck, and back pain, plus all kinds of pain control medicine were killing me. I only slept 1 or 2 hours at night because the pain scale was 9 out of 10. I also had physical therapy and chiropractic treatments, but they only gave me a little relief. My attorney suggested that I try acupuncture, which was also covered by insurance. At the Chinese Acupuncture & Herbal Center. I started twice a week treatment with acupuncture and Gua Sha therapy. After a couple of sessions, I was able to sleep longer and reduce most of the pain killer medicine. Three months later, I found this Asian therapy did miracle work for me, all my symptoms were gone and I got all my energy back."
