I had blood clots on the right side of my brain that caused a stroke. It affected the left side of my body and made it difficult for me to move. I'm very lucky and thankful to have been treated by Dr. Ming Chen and Dr. Luxia Yang. They used Jiao-shi scalp acupuncture to stimulate the right side of my head and activate neural plasticity. Additionally, they gave me Chinese medication to help treat and enhance my total health. They advise me to change my diet by cutting down carbs and sugar to lose weight. Finally, they used the process of tongue diagnosis to remotely evaluate my daily recovery. Because of them, now I am close to full recovery in only 6 months. The only other medication I have been taking are for high blood pressure control and cholesterol control. Walking thousands of steps a day has also helped. If you or your family or friends have sequelae of stroke or other neurological diseases, Dr Chen & Dr Yang can help you. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Ming Chen is SO helpful for any problem! I had the shingles and within just 2-3 visits, the pain and itching is gone! I have a few more just to make sure it stays away but he is so knowledgable and great for any health issue. Will be back again for other holistic healing.

I sought help for paralysis on half my face from my palsy.
Dr Chen happily answered any questions I had regarding the procedures, what to expect and how to prep for them.
I found him kind and understanding as he also suggested lifestyle changes to improve my qi and addressing stressors.
All my appointments were kept and on time.
I am very happy with the whole process, from the initial consultation, being able to communicate via text, prompt responses, consistent treatment schedule and end results.

I was having severe abdominal pain
Dr. Chen did a full health evaluation and did the acupuncture treatment on me and with in one day my pain reduced by half and by three treatments it was gone
I highly doubt Dr. Chen for anyone who is having and health or pain issues. It is quite amazing how acupuncture works.
GPVerified patient
Dr. Chen resolved my knee pain in one session. After the second session I felt even better. Dr. Chen is so knowledgeable and really helped me. This was my first acupuncture visit and he also took the time to answer my many questions. I highly recommend Dr. Chen - you will feel better!
RNVerified patient
I was seen for Bells Palsy and had already finished my prednisone Rx but I still had facial numbness, no control of my eyes or mouth. I was told that acupuncture works well for BP. I can tell you that it does! I was told not to expect to heal for 2-6 months. For my visit he did cupping, acupuncture and acupuncture stickers on my ears so I can have a daily treatment that I can do myself. After my appointment I went to visit family who had seen me just a few days earlier. They noticed a difference just an hour after my appointment! I had better control of my mouth and could say words that I was flubbing up previously. I could close my eye completely under my control. I could also wrinkle my forehead now. Then comparing one side to the other, the numbness was less noticeable. The treatment was not comfortable (but not painful) but because of its efficacy, I’ll gladly continue this treatment.

Dr. Chen helped me with my insomnia problem. I tried various sleep aid medications and decided to seek help from alternative therapy. After a month’s acupuncture therapy, I finally get my sleep back. Thank you, Dr. Chen!
LCVerified patient
I came in for pain on the left side of my face and back neck area. I would get a pulsing nerve pain every couple minutes constantly throughout the day. After four treatments, the pain has finally become manageable thanks to Dr. Chen.
NSVerified patient
I am grateful for the first and second treatments I have received. Prior to treatment I was in a lot of discomfort in my lower back and I had difficulty walking. With the right treatment at this clinic, I felt relief and now I can do all my regular activities without pain. I would definitely recommend this clinic to my family and friends.
