"I experienced pain in my left shoulder, radiating to my left arm and also to my chest. I had electro-cardiogram and nuclear stress test, my heart is o.k. but a cervical MRI diagnosed advanced DJD at C5-6 and C6-7 with spurring and severe foraminal stenosis at C5-C6 and moderate stenosis at C6-7. The alternate was surgery or pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Both of these drugs were extremely pain to my stomach.

My level of pain was 8-9 scale on 10 bases which is the worst. With drugs bring it to a level 5-6 only. After 2 cycles of acupuncture treatment (10 visits is one cycle) with Chinese herbs, my level of pain down to 1-2 scale of 10 and my arm only has minor sensations now. This is tolerable as compared to the discomfort experienced before coming to see Dr. Tao.

As an additional benefit, Dr.Tao prescribed an excellent herb for my chronic sinus condition which totally relieved my allergy symptoms for years."

"I am a 45 year old executive secretary at Lehigh Valley hospital injured in a motor vehicle accident in May, 1993. I have been through numerous pain management treatments and consultations even in Philadelphia. After I seen Dr. Tao for acupuncture treatments from July through September of 2000, he already successfully controlled the pain which includes numbness down to the arms, inner aspects of my legs to my feet, burning and muscle spasm to my arm, leg and shoulder. I tried different medications, however, it only caused me drowsiness or upset stomach. I am so grateful to Dr. Tao that so many modalities have been ineffective, so expensive and caused me many side effects, he still could relieved my pain without any medication."
