Back Pain/Sciatica Pain
Sciatica Pains - 100% Improvement
Chief Complaint
In January 2011, 53-year old female came to our clinic and complained of sciatica pain with low back pain. Her pain level reached 7 out of 10 and bordered on being unbearable. Her pain kept her up at night and she was unable to sleep on her right side.
Results
After four treatments of acupuncture therapy, she had 80% improvement on the pain level and was able to sleep on her right side. She received six acupuncture treatments in total.
We followed-up with her in March 2012; She reports no more pain for the past year.

Lower Back Pain - 90% improvement
Chief Complaint
It is a great pleasure to write about the 8-year battle with my lower back. Chronic and progressive episodes of incapacitating pain and spasm lead to multiple visits to doctors and physical therapists. Doses of muscle-relaxing and pain pills were prescribed to me since X-rays showed no sign of spinal problems. It was not until after reviewing a MRI last year that an orthopedic doctor diagnosed 2 bulging lumbar discs. They press on my sciatic nerves causing numbness and discomfort down my left leg. I accepted a spinal cortisone injection. Disappointingly, it provided symptom relief for less than a week.
It was a night-and-day difference after my first visit with Dr. Hoang last September. In conjunction with acupuncture sessions for pain and numbness relief, she prescribed herbal medicines for overall body healing. The results from the last few months have provided me with a strong confidence in oriental medical practices. Dr. Hoang is a master acupuncturist with a keen knowledge of oriental medicine. My back is now 90% healed. I highly recommend Dr. Hoang for her care, knowledge, and professionalism.

Lower Back Pain - 85% improvement
Chief Complaint
My experience with Dr. Hoang has been extremely delightful. When I first came to the office was experiencing a tremendous amount of lower back pain. I have to lived with chronic back pain for many years now and have managed to accept it. But, after my first treatment with Dr. Hoang I was already feeling better. I had never had acupuncture so I was feeling a bit apprehensive. But I felt very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Hoang. After continuous visits with Dr. Hoang I began to feel better each time after her treatments and with the exercises and natural herbs she prescribed. I am very thankful for what you have done for me. You have allowed me to live a better life with less pain and I truly appreciate it.
