Patient Experiences

I appear fit and younger than my age, but I have had chronic pain for a few decades, and the medical history of my low back and pelvic region sounds like a train wreck. My low back used to go out regularly due to 4 herniated disks (3 lumbar and 1 cervical) and spondolysthesis, and this was all complicated by a separated symphysis pubis, (excruciatingly painful, like a pelvic fracture), after the birth of my first child, and pelvic endometriosis. I have had constant spasms in my left leg, back, and neck which affect me daily, and occasional sciatica, which I control with stretching and conditioning. Since I’m basically a happy person, I have tried to stay pro-active and not let the pain limit my activities. However, as I tried to get stronger physically, muscle spasms would occur in different parts of my body to compensate for the underlying muscle and spinal instability. About a year I ago I finally got to the point where the spasms in my left leg were so bad I couldn’t bear any weight on my left leg going up the stairs. I worked with a deep massage therapist, who recommended acupuncture and Dr. He as a more effective and holistic way to deal with all of my spasms. I have been seeing Dr. He now for almost 6 months and I would highly recommend him. He really blends the best of eastern and western medicine in a very effective way. My chronically spasmed muscles responded to his treatment from the very first visit; the pattern of my healing has been something like this: at the appointment, I experience release and relaxation of a stubborn chronic spasm in a particular muscle, in the next few days my body shifts to a “new normal” and I notice all of the changes in my body and energy level. I go to the next visit and the same thing repeats with a different muscle, so I really look forward to “unwinding” the knots in my body after every visit. 90% of the pain and spasms in my legs and pelvic region are gone. And this relief has persisted through a grueling work schedule, multiple international flights, and almost weekly plane travel. It really is amazing. His approach to tackling the complex web of issues in my body has been consistent, steady and very clear. He was able to ...

For years I have suffered from back pain, resulting from an injury from a fall. Many trips to different orthopedic doctors have not correct my problem. I have received relief by my acupuncture treatment from Dr. He, and I heartily recommend him to anyone who has not received help from conventional medical procedures. 67 year old, M. April 15, 2016.

I had arthritis pain and was hopeful it could be reduced or eliminated. Dr. He was professional and explained his training and why he also studied Western medicine. On my first visit Dr. He reduced the pain in my right hand and by the end of my 5th visit the pain was gone and has stayed that way for the past few days. Prior to Dr. He’s treatment I had to wear a hand brace most of the day and overnight. For those that have not had constant arthritis pain there is no way I can explain how good it feels to be pain free for even a few days. I was unaware that I had sciatic nerve issues but on my first day of treatment Dr. He pointed this out and I felt a lot of pain when he checked lower back. By following his instructions of using a heat patch on my back to reduce inflammation I still have some sciatic nerve pain but it has improved every visit. The chiropractor I have been going to told me that my lower back pain was because I was not doing enough stretching. Well after using the heat patch my lower back pain has been eliminated without anymore daily stretching and I can walk up and down the stairs with no hesitation or pain. Dr. He said my L4 was inflamed and as soon as that was taken care of my sciatic nerve issues would go away. My Rheumatologist recently told me I had Vitamin D deficiency from a blood test taken a year ago and she waited a year to tell me. Without a blood test Dr. also said I needed to be taking vitamin D and calcium supplements and he sent me home with these supplements. I have recently been diagnosed with dupuytrens disease and I hope Dr He. can help me with this and avoid hand surgery. I am 69 and feel that Dr. He has provided an answer to my arthritis pain as several other doctors suggested hand surgery. March, 2016. Copied from Angies List.
