Acupuncture - New York - NYC

I have been having major issues with sinus pain and back tightness and I have tried everything! Except for acupuncture of course. I found this place on line and read some of the reviews and totally agree that this is a great place to check out... My headache went aways - my shoulders still have a long way to go but they do feel more loose. I would recommed anyone go there! It is worth your while.

Amy kalafa, 48, a documentary film producer contracted central nervous system Lyme disease in 1998. She suffered from constant severe headache, a severely swollen neck, stabbing pains in her ears and chest, disregulation of her pulmonary functions, severe insomnia, muscle and joint aches. Seizure-like convulsions, memory loss, dizziness, depression and more. ‘I thought I would never get better. I had some improvement on a regimen of IV, then oral antibiotics and anti-seizure medication, but each time I tried to go off these medications, my symptoms quickly returned," she said. "Someone recommended Mr. Gu’s class. It took a while to get the hang of these exercises –subtle movements of hormone-producing organs that I wasn’t used to isolating, but eventually I mastered several well enough to practice them at home. I noticed that I felt much better on days when I did the exercises , so I did them every morning and still continue to do so," she said, adding she has not had a recurrence of Lyme symptoms and her memory functions are nearly back to normal.

I came to Dr. Chen and Mr. Gu for my problem with frequent headaches after a friend told me about their practice. I had never tried anything beyond pain killers and western medicine for my headaches. My neurologist had pretty much told me that if he gave me more medicine my liver would shut down. During my first visit, I was given a set of exercises to practice before treatments and at home to "ready my body for healing." After the exercises, I was given needles in my back arms and neck. When I went for my first treatment, my head felt pretty good, so I did not see any immediate benefits, but then my headache did not return for the rest of the week! I was so amazed I called and made appointments for the next month. When I go into the treatments with a headache, the relief is almost instant. When I get headaches at home, I do my exercises and it helps quite a bit. Now, after several months of treatments, my headaches come much less frequently and when they do come they do not feel nearly as bad. I have significantly lowered the dose of the medications I was taking and feel confident I won't need them in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and Mr. Gu to anyone suffering from pain!
