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.
