Patients’ Testimonials

Dear Dr. Liu,

I had been struggling with my weight for the past several years. I had tried several different types of diets and diet pills. You name it, I had tried it! I would loose weight one week and gain it back the next!   I GIVE UP! Then I heard about people that have had acupuncture done to help them loose weight. I've tried everything else, why not try this?
      
About 4 months ago I was 353 lbs. I went to your office for a consultation and decided to give it a try. Along with the acupuncture treatment, you gave me a special herb tea to drink and made a slight change in the food I eat. In those 4 Months I have lost 50 lbs. and kept it off!  I look and feel so much better! I even have more energy then I have ever had before! 
 
I just wanted to thank you for helping make it happen!!
 
I would recommend this form of treatment to anyone who needs help loosing weight.

Dr. Liu, thank you for your care of me during the last two years. Not only have you helped with the painful neuropathy in my feet, but I also credit you for saving my life due to my heart condition. 

I recall vividly when you examined me and told my wife, Carole, to take me immediately to see a cardiologist. The physicians and technicians at the heart hospital didn't find anything wrong and said to go home and take an aspirin every day. 

However, since you were so concerned, I saw another cardiologist the next day. What he found was cardiomyopathy in an advanced stage.  

I now am on medication, have a pacemaker and a defibrillator. I am doing well, thanks to your skill in recognizing my condition.  

Sincerely,

~Jim, Little Rock, Arkansas 
 

Our daughter, Page, is a 15 year old girl who had a spinal fusion to stabilize her broken L-5 Vertebrae that had slipped and was causing terrible pain.  Page couldn’t sit in a chair for any length of time without excruciating pain, making it impossible to sit in class at school.  After the surgery, she improved, but the hardware rubbed against her muscles and that had to be removed.  We hoped that this would solve the problem, but when school started again, she couldn’t sit in class.  She had to withdraw from school and be tutored at home.  Her life had basically been taken away from her.  Finally, her physical therapist recommended Dr. Liu, a Chinese medicine doctor who does acupuncture.   

Page was ready to try anything to relieve her pain.  Dr. Liu started treatments 2 times a week and she started to improve.  Then we chose to go 3 times a week since she got relief from her pain and could start doing everyday activities again.   

Page’s back pain is now pretty much gone.  On the pain scale, she started at an 8 on most days and now she is at a 0 or 1.  She is back in school part-time for now and can sit in a chair!  Dr. Liu also treated Page for a cold.  She went in for treatment on her back and mentioned that she had a headache and was stopped up in her nose.  Dr. Liu immediately addressed the headache and cold by using acupuncture and then treated her back.  He told us what to do at home for her cold and her headache was gone before we left his office.  Her cold was no problem within 2 days or so.   

Dr. Liu has given Page back her life and we are so very grateful!     

We highly recommend Dr. Liu!

I had Shingles on my back one year ago. Skin rashes were gone but I still had the severe pain in the area that had rashes before. Sometimes, the pain was like burning and sometimes like shooting, and I felt itching all the time.  My doctor diagnosed me Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN). I had tried different treatments such as antiviral medicine, painkillers, nerve blockers, anti-epilepsy drug and steroid injections but the results were minimal. I was desperate. I had not only excruciating pain I also developed depression, anxiety, irritability and sleeping difficulties because of the severe pain. I went to Dr. Liu’s clinic for the treatment for Shingles. After 4-5 times of acupuncture, the pain was significantly decreased.  An additional 5 times of treatment, the pain was completely gone. In addition, I could sleep better. And my anxiety and irritability were improved greatly. That was amazing and I did not expect such much from acupuncture. Thank you, Dr. Liu.

My first experience with acupuncture was at Dr. Liu’s clinic. At the time I was very stressed and had anxiety from graduate school. I could not sleep well, I dreamed a lot at night, I felt fatigue all the time, and I could not concentrate on my study.  I went to Dr. Liu’s clinic according to one of friends’ suggestion. Just after two times of treatment, I slept better. After 4 times of treatment, I could sleep about 5 hours but I still had dreams.  Besides acupuncture, Dr. Liu gave me cupping and herbal formula. After an additional 2-3 times of treatment, I could sleep whole night and also I did not have dreams! I felt much better, having more energy, and much less stress. After 8 times of treatment, Dr. Liu only gave me herbal formula to stabilize my improvement. Now I am back to my daily normal activities. Thank Dr. Liu.

I had battled chronic insomnia over 10 years. I woke up often during the night, sleep very shallow. I went to different doctors but they could not explain the cause of my problems, instead, they prescribed different kinds of medicines. For last 10 years I had tried so many kinds of sleep medicines. Some of them could make me sleep but the side effects stop me to continue. I had poor appetite, lost weight, felt dizzy, lack of energy and depressed. Dr. Liu gave me acupuncture and cupping when I visited him. He also gave me some herbal powders to take. Just after a few time, I slept better, woke up less, felt some energy back. After 7 times of treatment, I could sleep whole night without waking up. I have more energy, felt happier and my appetite improved. By then, Dr. Liu stopped acupuncture and only gave me herbal medicine for another week. Now I have completely recovered from my 10-year long insomnia. Thank you, Dr. Liu.

I had always had the problems with my menstrual cycle.  My period cycle was nearly regular but abdominal pain and some other symptoms were so great that I often took a couple of days off from study or work during the period. I had boating, nausea and vomit. Some time I had diarrhea and headache. I had tried different treatments but results were minimal. Eventually my doctor put me on birth control pill, which eliminated the majority of my problems. However, after 6-month of birth control pill, I had gained about 5 pound, I had anxiety, and my face often had acne. So I stopped birth control pills. However, when I had my period, the pain came back again. My friend suggest me acupuncture and I tried! The result was amazing. When I first visited Dr. Liu and after he examined me, he said, “come to see me at 10th day prior to your next period”. I did. After he gave me three times of acupuncture, my period came and he stopped acupuncturing me. My pain got significantly improved and even though I felt a little discomfort. Then he said again “come to see me at 10th day prior to your next period”. I did and Dr. Liu treated me like last time. After three times of treatment, my period came. I did not feel pain at all. Then he did the same as last two times. After three cycles of treatment, I am pain-free and I do not feel any discomfort when I have period. I am glad that I made right decision going to see Dr. Liu. Thanks, Dr. Liu

After about 6 months of thinking I had a bladder infection and going to Doctors for help and could not find out what was causing me so much pain, going to the restroom sometimes every 2 hours during the day and getting up every 2 hours at night I knew something was very wrong.  I went to an Urologist and had a CT scan of my bladder and numerous other tests and was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC).  I had never heard of it but was started on a series of bladder treatments.  They would do 6 treatments where they would inject medication into my bladder and hold for 15 min.  I would have a treatment once a week. They also said it could be diet and gave me a list of foods to avoid.  There was not much on the list of foods to eat. My energy level was very low and I was pretty miserable.  A friend (Vickie) told me of Dr. Liu and what he had done for her.  At that time I was willing to try anything.  I saw Dr, Liu on Sept 20th for the first time.  He said he had helped other people with this problem and he could help me.  He said he would also give me some Chinese herbs to take.  I was very excited after hearing this.  I had two more acupuncture treatments the next week and was feeling so much I could not believe it. Dr. Liu said he thought six or seven sessions should do it.  I am so thrilled to say that after seven visits I can go at least 4 hours without a restroom stop and only get up twice at night.  I have my energy back and I feel like my old self.  I am eating and adding food back into my diet.  Dr. Liu said it is not the food causing a problem.  Dr. Liu says I am cured.  I told him I thank God, Vickie and I thank him.  I promised myself if I got help I would let others know because I want to help others that might be suffering with this same problem.  I highly recommend Dr. Liu.  He is very kind, friendly and a professional. My last visit was Oct.6th. and Dr, Liu said I do not need to return.  If ever I need to I would not hesitate.

One morning after I woke up, I felt something abnormal on my face. In the mirror I saw that the right side of my face was drooping and that I could not move it. I did not have any feeling on right side. When I brushed my teeth, I could not close my mouth and water kept spilling out of my mouth. Later, I realized that I suffered from facial paralysis, or Bell's Palsy. As a Chinese I am familiar with acupuncture and I know that acupuncture can cure the problem. I know acupuncturist Dr. Liu for a while but I had never thought I would see him some day for my own problem. I visited Dr. Liu to seek acupuncture treatment. On my first visit to Dr. Liu, right side of my mouth and right face were drooping without any motion, my right eye was unable to close, and saliva was dropping down from right side of my mouth.  Dr. Liu used acupuncture to treat my symptoms. After two visits, my month could hold water, after three visits my month could hold air, after four visits, my face had the expression, and after 6 visits, I was 100% cure. I am so happy. Dr. Liu, thank you very much for your magic hands and I appreciate all your help.

Dr. Liu is by far the most knowledgeable and effective acupuncturist who has treated me. After seeing several acupuncturists for back pain I suffered for three years, I visited Dr. Liu. Within five treatments, my back pain was alleviated and has not returned. A year later, I visited him again for digestive problems. His treatment brought my digestion to normal functioning after three acupuncture treatments. I recommend Dr. Liu to anyone having physical pain or other health problems. He is a true healer and is an honest, dedicated practitioner.

I started seeing Dr. Liu about 8 weeks ago. I had been diagnosed with Lupus and at the time when I first started with him my A&A blood was about 6,000.  I had been seeing my rheumatologist for about 4 years for this problem and in the time frame of 4 years my A&A had only gone down from 8,000 to 6,000.  I have been on medication for this period of time and was not pleased about having to be on medication for so long.  At least medication had lower it about 2,000 and it was not going up, so I was thankful for that.  Since I have been seeing Dr. Liu for acupuncture treatments and using his herbs my A&A has dropped dramatically from 6,000 to 2,000 within an 8 months time frame.  Thanks to Carole and Jim for referring me to him and I trust that this is how God is choosing to heal me completely.  I am still taking medication, but at the rate my A&A is dropping, hopefully I’ll will be able to stop soon.

Thank you Dr. Liu.

I started coughing 5 months ago after I caught a cold. I went my family physician and a respiratory physician for last 5 months. I was checked with all the blood tests, X-ray, CT, and MRI, which turned up nothing abnormal.  I had been on antibiotics for 2 weeks for two courses and antivirus medicine for 10 days.  I had been on anti-cough medicine for several months. But coughing became worse and worse, especially at night. I also had dry mouth and sore throat. Even though I drank a lot of water, there was no help. I was so desperate and depressed. One of my church friends told me about Dr. Liu. I went to see him. The first time he gave me the cupping and needling treatment. For the first time in 5 months I felt relief and I could sleep all night. After two-weeks treatment with acupuncture and herbs, my dry mouth and sore throat disappeared and my coughing stopped. Thank you, Dr. Liu.

I suffered constipation for about 10 years. For those 10 years, I had been using stimulant laxatives on and off. For the last two years, I had not been able to have any bowel movements without them. I had several GI exams over the years but all exams had come back normal. My friend recommended trying acupuncture and I found Dr. Liu from the Internet. He started to treat me with both acupuncture and Chinese herbs. After three sessions, my condition had been greatly improved and I continued for another 4 sessions. Now I have stopped all my stimulant laxatives and I am able to have bowel movements once a day or once every another day. I am very grateful that I was introduced to acupuncture.  Dr. Liu is a wonderful acupuncturist. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

I started acupuncture treatment for my anxiety and stress with Dr. Liu 8 months ago. I feel so good that right now I go regularly (once a month).  It is a process that gives me a feeling of overall well being.

~Rita-Benton, Arkansas 

I often feel fatigue and weakness because of overwork and stress from work. There is no medicine that can treat my symptoms. When I searched the Internet, I found that acupuncture is good way to relieve the stress and fatigue. I found Dr. Liu from the Internet and went to see him. He gave me acupuncture, cupping, Tui Nai, and some herbal medicine. I experienced tremendous response to those treatments. During the treatment, I could feel that my energy was increased. After the whole course, I felt revitalized. Now whenever I feel tired or stressed I go to Dr. Liu for relief. Thank you, Dr. Liu, for your treatment.

I had right hemifacial spasm for the last two years. At first, the muscles around my right eye were twitching and then spread to my lower face. Eventually the spasms involve my whole right face, almost continuously. I had seen many doctors and taken a lot of medicines. But the results were very minimal. Some of my friends suggested I try acupuncture. I found Dr. Liu from the yellow pages. After the first treatment, I felt the less twitching on my face. After 7 sessions of acupuncture, the twitching on my face completely stopped even though I still feel the tightness on my right face. Now I visit Dr. Liu twice a week for solidifying the result and further improvement. Thank you, Dr. Liu, and I appreciate your treatment, which has improved my life.

I had severe migraine for more than 10 years. I had gone to many doctors to seek help. I had tried all sorts of medications that have been only partially effective. Also I had developed a lot of side effects from the medicines I had taken such as insomnia, poor memory, dry mouth, gastric pain and so on. After Dr. Liu’s acupuncture treatment, my migraine has been gone for the last three months. So far my migraine has not come back yet. I stopped all pain medicines and all side effects disappeared. I don't fully understand how it works, but for relief of migraine I highly recommend it.
