"Dec.3, 2013
Dear Mr. Tao,
I want to thank you for the wonderful relief for achieved for the neck, shoulder pain
I was suffering from. I am Austrian move from U.S. Now by took the opportunity to see
my 100 years old mom. By my amazing the first time, my sick arm can totally raise up from 130 degree to 180 degree then my left arm can raise upright too.
My other treatment over the past year were unsuccessful. Your acupuncture capability did the trick.
A grateful thanks."

"I
was very skeptical about acupuncture ever working but after having
headaches every day for a few months with no relief from western
medicine I had to try something. Now I have Asian friends whom
told me it works so I tried the acupuncture. After about the third
treatment I actually started to feel better. A few more treatments
later my headaches were gone and I did not change anything in
my life to cause this. So later when I strained a muscle in my
back I returned and this time only after two treatments the muscle
pain was gone. This has created a believer in me that acupuncture
actually works. I would recommend anyone to at least try it for
a few treatments and see by yourself how affective acupuncture
can be. Currently I am seeking acupuncture to help with other
medical problems and so far it is working. It is amazing to me
that something like acupuncture truly works. JUST TRY IT."

"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 81 year old woman with osteoarthritis for years in my hands,
neck, lumbar spine and both hips. In order to avoid medication
of NSAD to upset my stomach, raise my blood pressure and the concern
of damaging my kidney, I decided to try acupuncture. After about
5 treatments, I feel I have almost no pain at all, the spasm of
by trapezius muscle also much reduced. I am glad I could maintain
this health condition without side effects."

"This
letter is in reference to my visit to your office on May 24,2001.
The service provided helped me incredibly, you gave me acupuncture
to the neck, upper back, and lower back areas. The pain I experience
is due to an auto injury from December 11, 1999. The single visit
with you changed my back pain for months so I am convinced of
the success and necessity."

"I
injured my back in 15 years ago and required surgery to remove
a cervical disc. Since then, my spine has further deteriorated
due to spinal stenosis from c-1 to c-7. This condition resulted
my mobility in my neck and painful back spasms and numbness in
my extremities which also caused sleep loss and inability to many
dimple tasks, particular move my arm above shoulder.
The
spinal epidurals, pain and antispasmodic medications made my condition
tolerable, nothing seems to give me relief. My neurololgist Dr.
Lorraine
Spikol, suggested try acupuncture and referred me to see Dr. Tao.
After four weeks of ten treatments, the painful spasms and numbness
are gone. I began to
notice marked improvement by my third visit. I could sleep to
eight hours a night and planning my first fly fishing trip this
year. Thank you, Dr. Tao."

"After 4 years of searching for a solution for my pain in
my left side and neck, I had 18 x-rays, 1 MRI, 1 bone scan and
some physical therapy, I had no relief. I only received 2 treatments
from Dr. Tao, my pain has been so minor."

"I
am a 70 year old female who suffered from arthritis and spurs
in my neck for several years. The pain intensified after suffering
whiplash from a car accident. I have visited chiropractors, orthopedic
surgeons, physical therapists, general practitioners, neurologists,
ENT specialists, and also have had 3 MRI's, and I was told one
of my choices was surgery. I went to Dr. Tao and had relief from
pain and dizziness after my first treatment."

"In
April 1994, I suffered a severe stroke with left side paralysis.
I have even been given medication one chemical after another.
I came to Dr. Tao and within three treatments, my back and neck
were no longer in spasm and the pain was reduced in my left shoulder.
By the fourth treatment, my shoulder was free of pain and my range
of motion was resolved to normal..."

"I
am a 48 yer old female internal medicine specialist and had motor
vehicle accidents in August, 1997 and January, 1998. In both accidents
I I developed a flextion-extension injury and also had head injury
from the second accident. I have the pain in my right side of
skull and the occipital region and burning pain in the arms and
thigh which is resolved with acupuncture. I tried different medication
before with either poor relief or with the gastro-intestinal side
effects. Since I tried acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I could
reduce my headache, arm and leg pain and decreased the pain like
"Brain Fog" since injury. Due to the multiple reactions or the
ineffectiveness of traditional medications, I recommended the
patients with pain from auto accidents history to have people
like Dr. Tao's speciality must give you great help."

"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."
