Stubborn Pain and Injuries
The advent of concentrated her extracts makes the pain and injury
treatment more effective. The extracts provide much higher concentration
than traditional raw herbs when applied to skin of the pain areas with
lot better convenience. When combined with electro-acupuncture even
better efficacy can be obtained for both acute and chronic pain and
injuries. A Marathon runner had her right ankle strained during a
competition and the pain and swelling did not reduce after other
treatments but mostly recovered after 1 acupuncture and herb application
treatment in the office and 2 more applications at home( Figures
1,2). She then resumed the competition.

This kind of treatment is good for
chronic pain also. A lady with chronic lower back pain which has been
suggested a surgery but the patient want to try a conservative remedy
first. The pain reduced after a few treatments and disappeared after 3
months of treatments. She finally resumed her normal activities and is
still pain-free after 2 yrs. A university vice president had
chronic back pain from sport injuries which was not well controlled by
the medical center. After 2 TCM treatments like mentioned above, the
pain was mostly relieved. He said in his letter to Dr. Wu :
“ I do want to compliment you on your wonderful ability to relieve
pain and initiate the healing process. The pain I was suffering when I
first saw you was extreme and seemed impossible to relieve. However,
through your series of acupuncture and herb treatments, the pain in my
back and shoulder was reduced immediately—probably 40% with the
treatment and another 40% with the second. From there, it was simply a
matter of fine tuning.
I heartily recommend your work to anyone who has exhausted other methods
of pain relief. Should I again develop problems, I will bypass
traditional methods and visit you immediately.”
A mayor who got injury months before wrote:
“Dr. Wu
This memo is to acknowledge the wonderful treatment I have received at
your clinic. I have been in pain from an injury for over 8 months.
My regular doctor only prescribed a daily dose of anti-inflammatory,
which I found did not relieve the pain. I have been in pain every day,
and did not want to face taking pain medication daily.
I was referred to your clinic and after only one treatment
found relief. I am impressed with the effect of the treatment in
the short amount of time I have been coming to your clinic. The
acupuncture treatments are not painful and have relieved the pain to the
point where I can walk comfortably between treatments.
Thank you for providing such wonderful service to this area. “
