Emphatical endorsement of Dr. Lau and his acupuncture practice
April 20, 2017
When I first made an appointment with Dr. Lau in July of 2013, I had been suffering intolerable back pain with sciatica nerve pain from my tailbone down both my legs. I had tried stretching, yoga, strengthening exercises, went to a chiropractor and took OTC anti-inflammatory meds. It got so bad, I had to have my husband take me to the emergency room where they diagnosed a possible herniated disc or similar issue. They prescribed opioid pain meds (oxycodone), 800 mg ibuprofen and naproxen. Nothing helped! I was desperate and finding it hard to sleep, eat or work. I had always been open to any type of alternative / holistic approaches to medicine and lifestyle but had never tried acupuncture. I researched some local acupuncture offices and chose Kings Acupuncture after visiting their site and their proximity to where I work. From the first visit with Dr. Lau I felt at ease and comfortable enough to explain all my issues. He asked me questions and got a history. He then gave me acupuncture 4 or 5 times over the next two weeks. I am not kidding when I tell you, I got relief after the first session and continued improving each time after until I was pain free and felt completely normal! I also asked Dr. Lau to treat my hemorrhoids (painful & bleeding) problem and he prescribed some Chinese herbs that made my issue go away completely after a 30 day supply.
Almost two years later I had a similar episode of back pain but did not hesitate to make an appointment right away. Again within four treatments I was pain free. Also at that time, I had been having bad wrist pain (carpet tunnel perhaps?) and tennis elbow pain and arthritis in my hands that he treated at the same time and I have not had bad pain since. Recently, I returned again to Dr. Lau, almost two years after my last treatment with similar back / sciatica pain and we are improving greatly with each treatment!
I am emphatically endorsing Dr. Lau and his acupuncture practice. I beg anyone that has issues they need help with to consider visiting Dr. Lau and King’s Acupuncture for help! Don’t suffer any longer!
Thank you for your continued service!
