Welcome
These cases were compiled to give you an idea of what we can treat but it does not encompass our entire portfolio. As a leader in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine we specialize in cases that seem too difficult to treat. Whether it’s the painful burning sensation that accompanies sciatica, the unbearable throbbing from migraines, or the long journey to become parents, we are here to help you find a solution.
Abdominal Bloating and Pain
Patient Profile: A 48-year-old woman with a history of esophagitis came to our clinic struggling with persistent abdominal bloating and pain. She experienced noticeable indigestion after eating, leading to visible abdominal distention. The discomfort not only made it difficult for her to work out or enjoy daily activities but also left her feeling self-conscious in her clothes. Our Approach: We designed a customized acupuncture and herbal treatment plan to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and improve gut motility. By addressing the root cause of her symptoms—imbalances in the digestive system—we helped restore harmony to her body. Results: After a series of treatments, she reported feeling lighter, more comfortable, and pain-free. Her bloating was gone, and she happily shared, “My tummy feels flat!” Now, she’s back to enjoying her workouts and daily life without discomfort.
Acute Elbow Pain and Tightness
Patient Profile: A 48-year-old man came to our clinic with acute right elbow pain caused by overuse at work. The discomfort started a few days prior and had steadily worsened. He described a tight, persistent sensation around the elbow crease, with a pain level of 4/10. While he could still bend his arm, it felt restricted, and applying pressure made the pain worse. Additionally, he struggled to grip objects firmly without discomfort. Our Approach: Using targeted acupuncture and manual therapy, we focused on releasing muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation in the elbow area. By restoring proper energy flow (Qi) and relieving stagnation, we accelerated the body's natural healing process. Results: After treatment, his pain level dropped from 4/10 to 0/10, and he regained full mobility and grip strength—pain-free!
Chronic Migraines with Jaw Pain
Emily, a 36-year-old woman, had been suffering from severe migraines and jaw pain for over five years. Her symptoms worsened after giving birth to her son three years ago. She experienced uncontrollable teeth clenching at night, which led to constant jaw pain, and her migraines were so intense that they often left her bedridden. Over time, prescription and over-the-counter medications stopped working. Our Approach: After researching alternative treatments, Emily decided to try acupuncture. We created a personalized plan that included regular treatments and herbs to address the root of her symptoms. Results: After her first visit, she experienced immediate relief. Within a few treatments, her migraines dropped to about one mild episode per week (pain level 1-2/10). Because the headaches became infrequent and much less intense, she also stopped clenching her jaw. Along with acupuncture, small lifestyle changes helped her maintain long-term improvement.
Incontinence, Knee Pain & Weight Management
Patient Profile: A 63-year-old man came to our clinic seeking relief for urinary incontinence, knee pain, and difficulty managing his diabetes. His symptoms had been worsening for over a year, with frequent, urgent trips to the restroom—sometimes just minutes after drinking water. The lack of bladder control caused him significant stress and embarrassment. In addition, he suffered from knee pain due to arthritis, which made walking or standing for long periods difficult. He was also overweight and had been trying to lose weight while managing his diabetes through diet, but with little success. He had tried acupuncture before for incontinence without results, but was willing to give it another chance. Our Approach: We focused on strengthening bladder control, reducing inflammation in his knees, and improving overall circulation. Alongside acupuncture, we provided dietary guidance to support his weight loss and diabetes management. Results: Over time, his bladder control improved significantly, allowing him to drink water without the immediate urge to urinate. His knee pain diminished, making it easier for him to walk, move, and even practice yoga comfortably. With proper diet adjustments, he also experienced steady weight loss, shedding 18 pounds after 2 months and improving his overall health.
Overcoming "Unexplained" Infertility with Acupuncture
Patient Profile: 37 years old woman struggling with unexplained infertility came to our clinic after being referred by her naturopath. She had already started working with a fertility doctor, who, after extensive testing, found no clear reason for her difficulty conceiving. While the doctor didn’t push for IVF, she strongly encouraged her to continue acupuncture to help balance her body. Our Approach: At first, acupuncture was challenging for her—she found it hard to relax during treatments and struggled with the feeling of letting go. Over time, she noticed a shift. She became calmer, less tense at work and in daily life, and experienced an emotional release that left her feeling lighter and more at peace. She followed the fertility diet we recommended and began to see positive changes, including natural weight loss without intense exercise. As her body and mind aligned, she slowly let go of the pressure to control every aspect of the process. Results: She was able to conceive naturally and continued acupuncture throughout her pregnancy to ensure a healthy and viable pregnancy. Toward the end of her pregnancy, she came in for a final treatment to help induce labor naturally. Two days later she delivered a healthy baby girl.
Sciatica
Patient Profile: A male patient suffering from severe sciatica pain came to our clinic after months of trying conventional treatments without success. His pain began gradually worsened over 4 months, making even the simplest daily tasks—walking, driving, putting on socks, carrying his kids, and getting out of bed—extremely painful. After seeing his medical provider, he was prescribed three different pain and inflammation medications, which didn't relieve him of his pain. Night after night, he struggled with radiating pain in his hip and leg, unable to sleep. Our Approach: Upon his first visit, we set clear expectations, explaining that it would take multiple sessions to see improvement. We developed a structured treatment plan. The goal was to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve nerve compression, allowing the body to heal naturally. Results: After just a few sessions, his pain level dropped from a 10 to a 5. He was finally able to sleep through the night, put on socks and shoes without wincing, and get in and out of the car without severe discomfort. By the end of his plan, he was pain free.
