A Pain Free Patient
Testimonial For Dr.Weihorq Yuan, Board Certified, And Licensed Acupuncture Physician And Doctor Of Oriental Medicine In Florida And A Licensed Medical Doctor In China.
While Walking On The Treadmill, I Began Feeling Excruciating Pain, Coupled With Numbness And Weakness In The Lower Part Of My Back. Additionally, I Felt Severe Pain In The Buttock That Radiated Down The Back Of My Leg (Sciatica).
My Primary Care Physician Ordered A Potent Pain Medication, NSAID, And A 24-48 Hour Rest Period. The Pain Persisted. I Was Then Referred To A Specialist In Rehabilitation Medicine. Following His Physical Examination And An MRI, The Diagnosis Was A Bulged Disc At L4-5 And Degenerative Disc Disease At L5-51.
During The Next Six Months, I Received Three Epidural Steroid Treatments And Twelve Physical Therapy Sessions. The Pain Continued Unabated And I Walked With A Severe Limp And Was Limited To Walking Short Distances. I Was Uncomfortable With My Need For Medication To Get Through The Day.
While Surfing The MAYOCUNICHEALTH LETTER Website, I Found An Article That Stated … “Experienced Physicians And Licensed Acupuncturists At Mayo Clinic Perform Acupuncture To Treat Various Conditions. Acupuncture Can Be Helpful As A Stand-Alone Treatment To Provide Pain Relief, As Well As To Help Maintain General Health And Well-Being, Increase Energy And Improve Mood In Healthy Individualsâ€.
I Found Dr.Weihong Yuan, A Board Certified And Licensed Acupuncturist, On The Web And Made An Appointment To See Her The Very Next Day. I Gave Dr. Yuan A Copy Of My MRI Report. She Studied It Very Carefully And Designed A Treatment For My Condition. After The First Treatment, My Severe Pain Subsided Significantly And I Stopped Using The Pain Medication. The Second Treatment Resulted In Even More Pain Relief And After The Third Treatment, I Was Completely Free Of Pain.
Dr. Yuan Is A Very Knowledgeable And Skilled Acupuncturist And I Highly Recommend Her.

Dr. Weihong Yuan,
My wife Terrie and I appreciate your wonderful healing work, and you are someone that we can count as a valued friend.
I have lost track of the number of people that have been acquainted with me before my debilitating back injuries in 2000; stood by me as I went through every conceivable type of intervention and pain relief effort know to Western medicine…to no avail. The entire gamut of physical therapy, injections, physical and electrical stimuli, nerve blocks and even the Western version of accupuncture did absolutely nothing to relieve the excruciating pain that the twisting fall had caused.
It was not until I was referred to you, Dr. Yuan, by the head of a pain clinic, that relief from pain was found. Both your demeanor and expertise have been such a blessing that it defies words. Going from constant pain even after all of the efforts of traditional pain clinics and hospitals (including University of Michigan, Cleveland Clinic, Ford Hospital, Ingham County Regional Hospital, Sparrow Hospital and private pain clinics and rehabilitation clinics), the relief that I have obtained from you, has allowed me to resume my contracting business, and more importantly, to enjoy life again.
May God Bless,
Lawrence
Dr.Weihong Yuan treated me for severe neck and headache pain. The treatment was very successful and I always felt great immediately following and for many days thereafter. I went for acupuncture on and off for three years and would highly recommend it to anyone suffering from pain and other aliments treated with acupuncture. I recommended my brother who suffers from horrible back pain even though he has has two back surgeries to visit Dr. Weihong Yuan to see if she could help. My brother traveled 50 miles round trip to see Dr. Weihong Yuan for 3 consecutive visits and experienced immediate relief. My mother suffered a mini stroke that affected her optic nerve leaving her legally blind in her right eye. After many acupuncture treatments with Dr. Yuan my mother felt some slight improvement and wishes she had visited immediately following the mini stroke as time makes a difference.
One of the things my family and I appreciated about Dr. Weihong Yuan was her gentleness but more importantly her honesty in explaining that if we did not see improvement after 3-4 visits she may not be able to help.

I initially learned of the outstanding results, quality and care in treatment provided by Dr. Weihong Yuan through a colleague. Continuing to hear many amazing results through others who stopped by my office or greeted me in the hallway with testimonials to the healing they had experienced following acupuncture with Dr. Weihong Yuan, I stopped in to introduce myself and to inquire about her treatment. Feeling like I had met a very kind and knowledgeable woman, I left with an informational brochure and a card which I held in my “until I know more†file. Sharing an office with several other therapists, located next door to Dr. Weihong Yuan, I continued to hear amazing testimonials to her gentle and effective treatment people of various ages and cultures had experienced, including: how their pain had subsided in their back- a secretary , in our same building, no longer suffered pain in her neck or the associated fatigue after only several sessions with Dr. Weihong Yuan – how one woman had been in treatment and had such relief with an initial treatment she subsequently returned for several treatments with Dr. Weihong Yuan, and was now experiencing the joys of living without the fear or trepidation of living day to day not knowing how she would cope with the pain she had been experiencing – and how fortunate parents with an infant felt at how her gentle treatments had provided cessation of colic with their infant. After being hit by a drunk driver and sustaining multiple injuries to my neck, back and shoulder (my rotator cuff was torn), I chose physical therapy as my first option and after listening to those who had found such relief, sought Dr. Weihong Yuan’s explanation of “cupping†since a friend had opted to have “cupping†rather than surgery, with total success. I found significant relief from “cupping†and from the acupuncture in treatment with Dr. Weihong Yuan. Dr. Weihong Yuan readily shares her knowledge. In my own experience, I discovered for myself, that Dr. Weihong Yuan’s techniques are both gentle and painless and the results provide immense relief throughout healing. I do not hesitate to suggest a person talk with her, make an appointment and learn for yourself if this treatment is helpful to you. Dr. Weihong Yuan is knowledgeable, skilled, and has provided such relief in the lives of all those I know who are fortunate to have had her treatment, including myself. She is a wonderful, wonderful physician and doctor of oriental medicine!
Respectfully,
Jill
Dear Dr. Yuan,
My wife and I would like to thank you for your kind and competent care provided to us over the past 5 years.
As you are aware, I sought your consultation and treatment when I exhausted all western medical model options and was left with the choice of surgery or chronic pain. Your diagnostic acumen was exceptional. Not only were you able to discern the precise location of my difficulties however also discovered a medication side effect with cardiac implications. I had been taking Celebrex for inflammation of the shoulder and developed an arrhythmia that you confirmed on an in depth reading of my pulse. You had no knowledge of the side effect I had before your examination.
In short, I fully recovered from my shoulder pain without surgery and have returned to my usual activities with no return of the symptoms. This was 5 years ago.
Similarly, you treated my wife who had a history of back problems that were unremitting until she met you.
We thank you for your professionalism, clinical knowledge and kind bedside manner.
Many thanks
—– Dr. Furgison
Approximately 4 years ago I had a Sciatic nerve problem. It was so bad that during traveling I could not sit for more than an hour due to the pain. I went to Chiropractors’, tried Sports massage therapy with no luck. Than someone told me about acupuncture, I called Dr. Weihong Yuan and after 3 visits the Sciatic nerve problem went away, and to this date I have not had any problems related to that issue. I have gone to Dr. Weihong Yuan for other problems and I was happy with the outcome. I find her as a very professional and caring person

I would like to thank you for helping me with my hip problem.
When I first walked into your office I was using a cane and could not pull my socks on and off without major pain. Dressing myself was very hard and painful. It had been 4 years after a vehicle accident and I had seen at least 10 different doctors and specialist. No one could help and all they did was prescribed pain pills which did not help.
After only 3 visits I was able to walk without the cane and could dress myself with little to no problem. Although I still have a little pain and walk with a slight limp it is nothing compared to what I was living with.
Please feel free to use my name as a reference.
Thank you
Dan
