Severe Chronic Lower Back Pain

I tried Acupuncture before, and it didn’t seem to help with severe chronic lower back pain, but Dr. He is exceptional. He’s moving to Alexandria, VA in about Sept. 2017, so do yourself a favor, and give it a try. I am as skeptical as it gets, and the results are amazing with what he can do. I may end up going to Alexandria for treatment after he moves, but I hope there are others locally who can accomplish what acupuncture has the potential to do. I was not a believer before, but pain can cause desperation that can lead to breakthrough. Mike Mix, August 14, 2017, Copy from Google. H & Z Acupuncture. https://hz-acupuncture.com ...

My Experience

Not only is hip inflammation gone, but Dr. Zhong throws in free advice, from soup to nuts, or, should I say, from tea to seeds. Dr. Zhong is a blessing from God. She treats the whole body, not the way Western medicine does–piece by piece. Eastern med-the whole body. Way to go! Alt Granny, August 14, 2017, Copy from Google.

Pain After Open Heart Surgery

Best pain management ever. All the pain is gone. My daughter had open heart surgery 2 years ago and has been in pain ever since. Before treatment, her pain level was at a 8 everyday. After 1 session her pain was at a 0. If you have any pain, this is the place to go. Shay Palmer, July 31, 2017, Copy from Google. H & Z Acupuncture. https://hz-acupuncture.com ...

Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Our 11 year old daughter fractured her knee in late December and we assumed everything would be fine when she removed her cast.Towards the end of her time with her cast she started to experience significant pain in and around her knee ankle. When the cast was removed the doctor diagnosed her with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). After doing some research we started to panic and worry that our daughter would always be in pain. She started physical therapy and began to see some progress, but suddenly, towards the end of her treatments she was again in unbearable pain. We went back to the doctor and he prescribed some medication and suggested we meet with a pain specialist. We were wary of treating her injury with painkillers and very much wanted to try an alternative route. We had read that acupuncture might work with CRPS and our daughter was eager to try anything. She has had 4 treatments and we have seen a tremendous difference. She was unable to walk without crutches during our first visit and shortly after the first visit she began limping. Within four weeks she had improved to the point where she could run, jump, and take part in all physical activities. Dr. Zhong helped her understand how to manage her pain and she now feels like she can easily deal with it when it resurfaces. The acupuncture was a huge help in reducing the pain and swelling in her knee and ankle and we loved that acupuncture also helped her manage her anxiety about her pain. We loved H and Zs more wholistic approach to medicine. We wanted so much to avoid treating her pain symptoms with painkillers and we are absolutely thrilled that we found H and Z Acupuncture. We highly recommend this practice. It was a godsend to our daughter. April 9, 2013. E01961, H & Z Acupuncture. hz-acupuncture.com ...

Spinal Cord Injury

Over the past three months I have received regular treatment from Dr. He for my broken spinal cord, which rendered me unable to move below the waist. I went to H & Z Acupuncture twice a week for my treatment. When I went in for my first appointment, I could barely lift my legs at the knees, and I also had very limited feeling below my waist. After three months of treatment by Dr. He, I can now fully extend my legs at the knees. Additionally, I have regained limited feeling in my ankles and the tops of my feet. I have also regained very limited feeling and control over my internal bodily functions. However, the dramatic improvement in my leg strength and control is most remarkable. 27 year old, M.
