On my first appontment in May 2014, had a long discussion and examination regardinging intense chronic lower back pain that had plagued me for over 19 years. Wendy Liang explained that a long time chronic pain condition would not be alleviated in one treatment. She urged patience on my behalf and suggested 2 to three treatments per week over a period of time. Patience is not my forte however, to my overall betterment, I am glad I listened. My two per week treatments initially lasted for six weeks. During each treatment besides inserting needles (which do not hurt) aligator clips were attached to several needles with an electrical impulse sent through each one. Each impulse is individually adjusted and feels like a gentle vibration or "spasm". After the acupuncture, several cups were placed on my back and suction applied. At the end of six weeks the pain was gone, motion returned and was to do things I had not done in years. Additionally, before each treatment session I was asked if there were any other areas that were giving me problems and they too were addressed with needles and ended in relief (ie hip, ankles, feet, hands). When the acupuncture started to wear off I would return for a one or two treatmement tune up every month or two. Prior to leaving Cleveland and moving to Tucson in March 2015 I could not drive for more than 2 hours without taking a half hour break to give my stif/painful back a rest/stretch. Not knowing what to expect on a 2,100 mile drive, figured it would take me perhaps a week or more. On the first day I made it to Memphis in 13 hours (650 miles), only stopping for gas and restroom breaks...no back pain or stiffness at all. The following day made it another 650 miles to Abilene the same way and on day three completed the third leg of my journey to Tucson. It was beyond my wildest expectations!! Since arriving in Tucson I have gone to over a half dozen acupuncturists without the same success attained from Healing Hands. So far I have not found one that utilizes the electrical stimulation technique that Wendy and Guang employ and I believe that makes the difference...at least for me. One acupuncturist I've recently encountered out here is also an herbalist and he convinced me to try some Chinese herbs for my recently acquired neuropathy. I gave it a shot and in a couple of days the pain, numbness and stinging had subsided big time and is still improving. Additionally, when I felt a cold coming on severall weeks ago I asked him if had anything for that. The cold was nearly gone after only three days of taking the prescribed Chinese tea. It appears one is never too old to learn. In conclusion, if I ever win the lottery one of the first thing I'll do is see if Healing Hands would consider relocating to Tucson at my expense.
