Sciatica

I decided to try acupuncture for chronic sciatica and neck pain. I have two herniated lumber discs and four discs in my cervical area with varying degrees of degenerated disc disease. When I began acupuncture in March 2009, I wasn't able to stand or walk for more than five minutes before severe pain would shoot down from my left hip through my left leg. When this would happen, my left foot would go completely numb and I would have to sit down. My life was on hold until I got some pain relief. Dr. Wu has given me my life back. It didn't happen overnight, but I steadily got better and less sciatic pain occurred. Today, I'm 80% better. I'm back exercising and recently walked for three hours without having to sit down at all .

Frozen Shoulder

I have been a patient of Dr. Wu since 2007. He has treated me for my frozen shoulder, neck and back pain. I believe that he is an excellent acupuncturist as he is very caring and patient. He always answers any question I have. He has shared a lot of his knowledge about diet and nutrition with me. I received a great benefit from those natural ways. I trust him. He is my first option when I get any disorders. I would highly recommend him to anyone with health problems.

Sprain

I sprained my right ankle last winter when I skied. It quickly turned out to be a severe swelling and pain. I hardly walked. I went to see a chiropractor. After taking X-ray check, I was told there is no bone fracture. I know it takes time to recover, but I want to try something to make it recover faster. I came to Dr Wu’s office to try acupuncture. The day after the first visit, I felt much better. It was amazing. The swelling reduced a lot and pain was not as bad as before. I can walk without the crutch. I was so happy my right ankle recovered in five days with three acupuncture treatments. This is a pleasurable experience .

Trigeminal Neuralgia

For many years I have lived in pain from trigeminal neuralgia. I was growing concerned with the amount of pain medications I was prescribed and feared addiction to the pills. What is worse, the medications didn’t work on the pain anymore. One of my friends, a registered nurse in St Paul’s hospital, suggested me contact Dr. Wu of Acu-Health Centre. I had, in the past, tried some other acupuncturists and did not feel any difference after their treatments.I was surprised that after three visits to Dr. Wu, I was noticing significant relief. I also appreciate the comprehensive approach he has to general well-being, including proper diet, exercise and meditation. Those are helpful. I was referred to him by a friend who found relief for her migraines, and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Migraine

I’ve suffered from migraines for over 10 years, trying various treatments including standard Western medical therapies, chiropractic and two previous attempts with acupuncture from other practices, all with modest or no improvement. I’ve been very pleased with my progress with Dr. Wu.  He uses a minimum of needles, unlike other practitioners I’ve been to, combined with a therapy called moxibustion. I admitted I didn’t like the smell of moxa, but it helped a lot. I had also been diagnosed with asthma. Much to my surprise, acupuncture did aid in relieving the labor of breathing. Thanks to Dr. Wu, I’m feeling much better.

Disk Herniation

I have been a patient of Dr. Wu for several years. I had been keeping the pain from herniated disc in my low back for many years. Even though physicians insisted that surgery was the only solution. I always try to find any possible therapy to keep me from surgery. I tried chiropractic and it seemed to work on me. I thought the combination of acupuncture and chiropractic would work even better. So I came to see Dr. Wu. I did feel much better after couple of visits.Because that was so effective, I asked Dr. Wu for his help with other concerns and was delighted with the immediate and persistent relief from colitis that acupuncture provided, which again had been unrelieved by standard medical treatments. If you want to save time and money, see Dr. Wu first; you won’t regret it.
