Acupuncture and Acupressure Testimonials from Eastern Medical Center Patients
"Being on the computer all day at work caused my frozen shoulder. My left arm could not raise up, more left or right, even backwards without pain. After the session of acupuncture and acupressure I could already feel my muscles relax and my problem improved! I’m continuing to go back for treatment and it is getting better each time!!" -Susanne
"I was in the emergency room before and the doctor could not see anything wrong with me. I had so much pain in my heart area; I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I went to the EMC to get acupuncture and acupressure and found out that I had slept or sat wrong and had a rib nerve pinching the nerve that affected my heart! I’m going there now for neck and back pain! I continue for my treatments and feel much better!! " -Mary
"My menstrual cycle was irregular to begin with but I still wanted to be pregnant. I went to see Dr. Shen to see what she could do; with a couple of sessions I noticed my menstruation was more regular, no cramping, bloating or diarrhea anymore! My fertility charts are rising and I can’t wait to see how it will be like next month." -Emilie
"I was skeptical at first at what Dr. Shen would do, as I was in so much pain. I can’t sleep on my side, back or stomach, I sleep on a recliner. I can hardly walk or do any garden work, I’m usually the person that stops at nothing, I was feeling so debilitated within the first treatment and with on needle my hemorrhoids were gone! My neck and shoulder pain was also non existent and my back pain reduced. I was able to stand in line for an event I was going to attend. I even had energy for housework." -Marilyn
"My eczema was all over my body and so bad I couldn't sleep. I'd scratch all night & not sleeping only made my skin worse. It was red, itchy and flaky and sometimes it would get visibly inflamed everywhere. My body would be cold and my skin hot. I came to see Teresa and she treated me with needles and prescribed several herbs for the eczema and insomnia. She also recommended certain foods to avoid and others to help my skin. I didn't heal completely overnight. There was always some immediate results, but it took regular treatments to get completely cured. Now I sleep all night and hardly itch at all. I know I worry about "stuff", & that makes eczema and insomnia worse, but the acupuncture and herbs "fixed me". I still go once a month, for what I call a "tune up". When needed, my 18 year old sees Teresa for back and knee pain. My husband sees Teresa for carpal tunnel, migranes and kidney stones. We have all received positive results!" -Jan
"I was supposed to get surgery on my knees, but had a dream that I was going to die from it. So I went and found Dr. Teresa Shen, with acupuncture and acupressure and herbs she has helped me so much, I’m so thankful I found her instead if getting my surgery. Treatments have been successful!" -Myrna
"Just the first treatment of acupuncture, my insomnia was improved by 90%, Wow this was an experience you have to experience for yourself. It’s too bad that people who don’t understand and don’t even think of getting acupuncture a try. I believe this holistic way is much better than all the medicine prescribed to me. It is smarter and good for you. I wanted to feel good for my retirement, my sister turned to me onto this, and she was right!!" -Linda Tindell
"Before going in to see Dr. Teresa Shen , I was not feeling well at all, I felt like life was so hard to deal with and on top of it my health was suffering from it. I had a bump on the back of my neck which caused me a lot of pain. My neck was wobbly and unstable. After a few treatments with Dr. Shen I felt like a new women! I even stopped my ravenous cravings for food at night because Dr. Shen explained to me my serotonin levels rising, I don’t feel the need for comfort food anymore!! On top of that I feel so happy! I even brought my daughter in who was having guy troubles and feeling down in the dumps. She is fantastic now!! Thanks! I totally recommend you to see Dr. Shen!" -Eileen
"Since I was twenty years old I had always had a bladder problem. None of my doctors could ever stop the pain that I felt. I took so many drugs and it wouldn’t even touch the pain I felt. One time I was so drugged up with morphine that I mentally could feel it but my pain was still there! Teresa’s acupuncture has been the only time I felt no pain in my bladder area! I am so thankful for her, my childhood pain was instantly reduced to 70% after treatment, and that night I couldn’t believe it, I was pain free !! Thank you Dr. Shen for all your invested time in me!" -Kelly
"I was first diagnosed by Stanford Hospital & clinics with Wegener’s Granulomatosis. I was feeling pain everywhere especially joint pain and insomnia. My whole body had inflammation. I used to play a lot of soccer and now I can’t even go for a bicycle ride. I first head about Teresa through my daughter who went to regulate her menstruations. The first time I visited I thought she wouldn’t be able to help me. She gave me a prescription of natural remedies to take and started up the acupuncture. I went every week, sometimes 2 times a week. And I kept seeing improvement. I even started riding my bike again I even got the courage to go to South America for vacation!" -Francisco
"I never knew how painful tennis elbow was till I got hit with it. I felt the pain stabbing me and radiating out from my elbow, I couldn't even pick up my backpack! My arm was a completely useless mess.. Then Dr. Shen looked at, asked me about how it happened and then gave me a treatment. I was very scared of needles all my life, and I didn't want to think about getting stuck with about 20 of them. Sheer terror was going through my mind. maybe anticipating this part was worse than the pain in my arm. Surprisingly, I didn't feel a thing when the needles went in! I was able to relax for the next 30 minutes, enjoying the tranquil melody playing in the room, and feeling the warmth of the heat lamps on my body. I actually fell asleep!
When I came to, Dr. Shen awoke me and removed the needles, and asked if I still had pain in my arm. This was the truly amazing part of the whole treatment, before I was able to answer the question, I instinctively picked up my bag with my right arm, on my way out. My right arm! And there was no pain at all. I couldn't believe the power of Acupuncture, or of Dr. Shen's amazing abilities! This was wonderfully positive experience, and I will definitely seek out Dr. Shen, in the future!" -C.A.
