I came to Dr. Lau for relief from carpal tunnel syndrome in the Fall of 2004. The intense pain in my hand and wrist was waking me up several times each night. After the first visit, the pain was almost completely gone! After several more sessions, the carpal tunnel symptoms were gone except for slight numbness in the tips of my middle and index fingers, (which my regular doctor feels is not carpal tunnel related.) I still work on the computer all day and am pain-free. I dont wear my brace anymore and am able to sleep the night through! Activities that used to cause severe pain, such as gardening, house cleaning, and driving, dont bother me at all!
During my treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, I accidentally fell on the stairs at home and injured my back, resulting in pressure on the sciatic nerve. The pain and loss of mobility were terrible! After two acupuncture sessions, this problem is also a dim memory!
In addition, my acupuncture treatments resulted in the following:
No more hot flashes! (These were so bad, I was waking up every hour or two.)
Raynauds syndrome gone! (Raynauds syndrome causes fingers to quickly turn yellow and go numb in cold weather, (this makes winter sports very difficult………. actually…………it makes living in Buffalo very difficult!)
Quit coffee! I didnt want to quit coffee, but during my course of acupuncture treatments, it just didnt taste good anymore. This was after 25 years of four to six cups a day! Three months without coffee so far. I sleep better and I am wide awake in the morning without my caffeine fix! I just dont have any craving for it anymore!
No colds, flu, bronchitis, or other illness and this is working with hacking, sneezing, sniffling co-workers who always get me sick enough to need anitbiotics and a week or two to recuperate.
Improvement in energy level! I no longer come home from work and immediately want to go to sleep! I do stuff after work! Also, I am not cold all the time.
Disappearance of a huge bulging vein in my leg! I have had it for years, and one day, about half way through my treatments, I noticed it had smoothed out and disappeared!
This is kind of an odd improvement, but my fingernails are stronger. They used to be very brittle and break easily. Since my acupuncture treatments, they are much healthier looking!
And, saving the best for last, it is absolutely WONDERFUL to sleep all night without waking up with carpal tunnel pain or hot flashes! There is just no way to put a price on a good nights sleep!
Dr. Lau, Wende, and Patti truly care about their patients. They make you feel welcome and comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. They really listen to you, which is a skill western medicine is lacking! I am so glad I tried acupuncture instead of surgery for my carpal tunnel!
Thank you Dr. Lau, Wende and Patti for the most precious gift of all, good health.
Sincerely,
Joan Dionne
I started having headaches approximately 8 years ago. I was taking OTC drugs (Excedrin Migraine) to help the pain. After years of dealing with my headaches this way, I asked my doctor for help. He prescribed an anti-depressant used to also treat headaches. This lessened my headaches at first, but they got worse again. I changed doctors and my new doctor sent me to a neurologist. For about a year, I tried about 10 prescriptions to prevent and treat these tension and migraine headaches. Some of these drugs made me worse, and some lessened the pain for a while. Eventually, these drugs made me feel run-down and increased my headaches to daily. Then, I went to Kings Acupuncture to try a new approach.
Dr. Lau helped lessen my headaches to about 2 per month with acupuncture and without being on any prescription medicine. I am so grateful to not have a headache each day. Now Dr. Lau and I are going to focus on my psoriasis while maintaining headache treatments. So far, the areas of psoriasis have reduced in size. I cant wait to see what future treatments bring. Thank you, Dr. Lau!

Dear Dr. Lau,
I cant thank you enough for the relief I have received from your treatments. I was being treated for TMD in the conventional way. I was fitted for an appliance in October to help relax my jaw and prevent me from grinding my teeth. I came to you in November for acupuncture treatments to relieve stress. I mentioned that I was being treated for TMD. You applied acupuncture to the affected area and I felt immediate relief. I went back to the Dr. to pick up the appliance I had been fitted for in October. It didnt fit al all and could not be adjusted to fit me. I had to be re-fitted for a new appliance. The Technician was stunned!
I wish I had come to you first for this TMD condition. I would have saved a great deal of time, money and discomfort. I would also like to thank you for the wonderful herbs prescribed for my frequent hot flashes. They are all but gone. My husband thanks you too! I would recommend to anyone who suffers from TMD or any other stress related problems to seek acupuncture treatments first. I am feeling much better now and am thankful for your help.
My Very Best Wishes,
Lynn Fioretti
Dear Dr. Lau,
After suffering migraine headaches for nearly 20 years, its hard to believe that today the headaches have been reduced by 70%, by your treatments. Even after my third treatment, when I did have a migraine headache, I could tell that the pain and all the other side effects were different. The pain is much less intense and is less constant. In fact its been four months since Ive had to take a prescription drug for the pain. Im now at the point where the headaches are so few and mild, I dont even take aspirin. I cant thank you enough! Although Im totally sold on your treatment, I also am convinced that your special care and kindness and the attention from your staff have contributed to my improvement.
In closing, Im not just sold on your treatment, but Im a raving fan! My quality of life has never been better.Regards and Good Health,

Dear Dr. Lau,
Thank you again for helping to take the pain away that I have experienced for the last 2 years, with left wrist tendonitis.
I tried physical therapy and a drug for inflammation, and it was not helping. I was skeptical about acupuncture but that thought is gone. I am almost pain free and able to resume things I was not able to do before.
Your patience and knowledge is appreciated, and I recommend you and acupuncture to anyone who wants to be pain free and not have to take medications that could cause more problems.
God Bless,
Dawn Maj
