I have had rheumatoid arthritis and a secondary illness, fibromyalgia, for several years. I was on 3-4 medications and still, at times, had pain and severe fatigue. After just a few weeks of acupuncture I felt extra energy. I am now down to one medication and have more energy than I have for years and experience only very occasional pain and fatigue.

In the past ten years, I had sinus infection at least 2-3 times per year. Every time, my doctor would prescribe antibiotics, and sometimes I would use 3-4 rounds of different kinds of antibiotics, even steroids. When I did not have a bad infection, I still had congestion, stuffiness, drainage and headaches all the time. I was very frustrated.

My doctor gradually gave up on me and referred me to TCM Health Center. I get treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I have not had any sinus infections in the past 3 years. My congestion, headaches, and drainage are gone. I told my doctor that I wished he had referred me earlier.

I had irregular menstrual cycles for a long time which might have been related to an eating disorder in my teenage years. Then I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had surgery. I failed to get pregnant after trying for two years. I went to a infertility clinic. My doctor ordered a bunch of tests and suggested me to do IVF. After four unsuccessful IVFs, I was told my eggs were too aged. My doctor suggested to use donor eggs. I wanted to give myself another chance to try without donor eggs. I am only 35 years old.

I got a lot of information online and found Chinese medicine had a long history of treating infertility. Plus the Chinese population infertility infertility rate is 3%, compared to 17% in the US. That tells me Chinese medicine must do something. I went to TCM Health Center and had acupuncture and raw Chinese herbs regularly. I got pregnant on my 5th IVF. My doctor was very surprised how good my egg quality was and asked me what made the huge difference. I told him about the acupuncture, Chinese herbs and dietary advice I got from TCM Health Center.

I have been a tennis coach for 20 years. I got tennis elbow, so I had steroid injections and took pain pills. But it just did not go away. I was depressed because it was so sore, and I could not play tennis. I was thinking about changing careers. Luckily, I found TCM Health Center, I got acupuncture treatments regularly for a few weeks and was back on the tennis courts in no time. I can't tell you how much it helped.

I had severe menopause symptoms: hot flashes, night sweating, insomnia, mood swings, ... I was on hormonal replacements which were helpful, but after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my doctor stopped me on the hormone replacements right way. I was so miserable with all the menopause symptoms, could not sleep at night, and was tired and moody during the day. I could not function at all. I was planning to take a early retirement.

One of my co-workers told me her experience with acupuncture. I began to have acupuncture treatment in TCM Health Center. After five weeks of acupuncture treatments, 85% of my discomforts are gone. I am functioning well again. What a difference!

Acupuncture helped me to avoid low back surgery. I had a very bad herniated disc between L2 and L3. My doctor recommended surgery. After six weeks of bi-weekly acupuncture treatments, my low back pain has been significantly reduced. From MIR, my doctor told me the herniation has been reduced more than 50% and suggested me to continue with acupuncture treatments.
