Treatment for chronic pain and infertility

A couple of years ago, I was in a serious car accident. As time went by, my lower back pain became progressively worse. I had X-Rays taken and an MRI done, and my doctors kept telling me nothing was wrong with me. So after being sick of taking pain killers and muscle relaxers every day without any real cure for the pain, I decided to try acupuncture since I had heard good things from a relative. Dr. Wang will caution you that full pain relief after one visit is very rare, but I actually felt no pain whatsoever in my lower back after my first visit. I couldn't believe how long I went in pain not knowing I could feel better so quickly! I kept coming back for maintenance visits, and Dr. Wang also helped me release the tension from stress in my shoulders and upper back, as well as keep my lower back pain free. My husband could not even give me a shoulder massage for more than 10 seconds prior to my treatments with Dr. Wang because he said my tense shoulders hurt his hands too much. Now the tension is gone!
    At the same time I began treatment, my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. I mentioned this to Dr. Wang, and he told me how acupuncture could help my fertility. We discussed altering my treatments for fertility instead of my back treatments, but I was having such success with my back treatment I couldn't give those up. So instead he said he would monitor my BBT charts and use acupuncture to help my overall circulation and organ efficiency, which would in turn help my fertility. My BBT charts were all over the place when we first started, and I definitely did not have a normal cycle. Within three months, I had a perfectly normal cycle, and in only my second month of a normal cycle I became pregnant!
    I can't stress enough how much I recommend acupuncture to anyone, and especially with Dr. Wang. It's always a very pleasant visit to Dr. Wang, and I feel wonderful and pain free every time I leave the office!--Cheri H (North Carolina)

Treatment for hypertension

I was diagnosed with hypertension at the age of 46. I began taking medication and took my medication faithfully as prescribed. I also made a lot of lifestyle changes. I lost weight to a BMI of less than 25. I improved my diet to a diet consisting of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits with no processed foods. I joined the gym and began a regular exercise program including 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily. After a year and a half on medication, my blood pressure remained elevated. Additional medication was recommended by the internist. The picture painted for my future with hypertension was one of gradually increasing dosages and additional medications to achieve blood pressure control. I decided to try a different approach. I sought the help of Dr. Wang. He is treating my condition with acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy. I have now been off medication for almost two months, and my blood pressure is controlled. I saw my internist this week and received the OK to continue off meds with continuous monitoring of my blood pressure. Dr. Wang has also recommended the practice of T'ai Chi for blood pressure control. I have just begun to study T'ai Chi and am very excited about learning this practice. I feel Dr. Wang's therapy has been invaluable to my blood pressure management. I have learned a great deal about the effects of stress on the body and feel I am beginning to incorporate this into effective ways of coping with stress. I have also had relief from some of the symptoms of menopause I was experiencing.--MM (North Carolina)

Treatment of Overactive Bladder/Frequent Urination)

I have suffered from "nocturia" (frequent night-time urination) for many years. This condition had not only caused me to lose countless hours of sleep, but my day-time life enjoyment had begun to deteriorate significantly from lack of sleep and emotional distress, as I was getting up more than six times per night to urinate.
When I met Dr. Mary Ren at Wang's Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic, I told her of my symptoms. She explained to me that it was very likely she could relieve my symptoms through acupuncture. I must say, that I was a bit skeptical at first; because I had spent numerous hours with various urologists and had previously taken prescription medication for my symptoms with very little relief.
After my first treatment with Dr. Ren,  I began to see improvement that very same night. I continued with my treatments on a weekly basis, and by the 4th treatment, I had a 75% improvement, which was far better than the results I was receiving with Detrol (prescription drug with a multitude of possible side effects).
I would recommend acupuncture as the first choice of treatment for frequent urination, overactive bladder, or nocturia. --S. Callas, (Charlotte, North Carolina)

Treatment for stress management, migraine headache and sports injury

I have experienced stress-related symptoms throughout much of my adult life.  After investigating and trying several other treatment options, I had come to believe that I would simply have to accommodate those symptoms as my life progressed.  Finally, a friend recommended that I see Dr. Wang, at Wang’s Acupuncture Clinic.  I met Dr. Wang and was immediately impressed by his professionalism.  A treatment plan was thoroughly explained to me, and I was put at ease.   I found the pursuant treatment to be very enjoyable, relaxing, and above all, highly effective.  
 In addition to treatment for stress, Dr. Wang has treated me for migraine headaches, and recently, a sports-related injury.  My headaches have notably decreased in frequency and severity.  Also, I am certain that Dr. Wang’s treatment reduced my sports injury recovery time by more than half.   
I am very happy I have added Wang’s Acupuncture Clinic to my healthcare options and would recommend that others also consider this option early in the treatment of conditions, such as I have encountered.  I find the sessions to be courteous, informative, and enjoyable.  I leave Dr. Wang’s office after each visit with a relaxed state of mind and an enhanced sense of well-being.--M Hamilton (South Carolina)

Treatment for back pain and female reproductive health

I originally went to Dr. Wang because I was having severe back pain that woke me up at night. I had tried everything, including getting a new mattress. Dr. Wang was able to relieve my back pain, and now I can sleep through the night. Currently, Dr. Wang is treating my endometriosis symptoms, and I have fewer mood swings and menstrual cramps thanks to his treatments.  --S Baker (North Carolina)

Treatment for pain / pinched nerve

In 2001, I suffered a whiplash injury while horseback riding. It went from uncomfortable some of the time, to unbearable often times. The pain now encompassed my full arm and was affecting my quality of life. An MRI performed in 2004 confirmed a pinched nerve. A pain specialist in Rock Hill suggested injections into the cervical area. I was informed that one side effect was paralysis! I found this crazy, and started thinking of acupuncture. I was impressed with it initially when I had a Veterinarian perform it on my aged, arthritic horse several years ago. The relief was obvious in his eyes! I wanted that same pain relief now for me!
I met Dr. Ren in August of 2005, and immediately liked her. I had to ask her if the needles were actually in my arm, because I couldn't feel anything remotely resembling pain! But I could feel an energy radiating throughout my arm. I knew something was happening.
Every session erased a little more pain. It was amazing, but very logical once one understands the science behind it. The result is that yesterday, December 14th, 2005, I completed my 8th session and am free of pain! I have full range of motion again... something that had eluded me for quite some time. It was actually difficult to put on some clothes--no way to live at age 49 and otherwise healthy.
I wholeheartedly endorse acupuncture as a treatment for scores of ailments. It is non-invasive, painless, soothing, and most importantly, affordable! Try it. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Thank you so much, Dr. Ren!!!! You're the best!!! --Kirsten M. Parrish, Rock Hill, SC

I am 9 years old. I have had a problem with nighttime bedwetting for many years. We tried other solutions but nothing seemed to work for me. I felt very embarrassed every time I was invited to have a sleep over and was afraid that my friends would find out and make fun of me. My dad used Dr. Wang's acupuncture for a sports injury and had great results, so my mom suggested we try it for my problem. I was nervous that it would hurt, but it was not very painful at all - in fact, it was actually pretty relaxing. We have had four treatments and I have only had two accidents in the last four and a half weeks - amazing! I am so encouraged and can not thank Dr. Wang enough!
