Cervical Disc Herniation /Neck Pain

I came to Doctor Lu in the middle of February in excruciating pain in my upper back. He quickly diagnosed the problem, we took x-rays and he explained to me what was happening, it looked like a pinched nerve. I believed him because I was in excruciating pain. He asked me to make a commitment to let him treat me; it would take about 10 weeks seeing him 3 times a week. I want to get better, I want to get fixed so I said okay. We worked out a deal; he was very nice to me. In the beginning the pain was excruciating,  I didn't have any feelings in my right arm all the way down to my little fingers; it was very disconcerting. However as the treatment went on, it took a little bit a patience, it took about 3 weeks 4 weeks, finally the pain dissipated and the strength started coming back in my arm. I'm very grateful, he knows what he's doing. I'm very hopeful that we can work out the other problems I have. A lot of trauma and injuries in my life. I'm very bless to have been pointed in his direction by a very good friend of mine.

Neck Pain

My name is Sally Meyers and I’m actually a registered nurse. A week ago I was in severe pain, I had gone to the doctor, didn’t help me very much so I called my insurance and they recommended me to Doctor Lu for acupuncture and I came on a Friday and I was in so much pain I couldn’t even turn my head. After the first treatment Doctor Lu helped so much, I’ve been coming every day; every day the pain has been subsiding and I’m just very delighted with him, I would recommend him to anybody for anything. He’s a very good doctor, he’s very contentious and he’s a very kind doctor, he’s a good man. I’m recommending him to everybody I know.                                                                                                                                                                                                             Sally

Lumbar Disk Herniation 1

I’m Henry, about 14 years ago I had severe back pain, and I wasn’t able to walk or even stand straight. I couldn’t believe ever morning getting out of bed became a challenge for me and it was painful. I thought surgery was the only option, a friend of my recommended Doctor Lu, and I was like “Okay, let me give it a try, if it doesn’t work in a few weeks, I’ll go in and get the surgery”. So I came to Doctor Lu to start the treatments. I found that Doctor Lu was experienced, thorough, and most of all very caring. About two weeks later I began feeling improvements, and the treatment continued for about 3 months and it was amazing. My pain was gone and I got my normal life back. In my case because of Doctor Lu I have avoided surgery. Over the last 13 years I still came to see Doctor Lu for maintenance treatments, it helped me build a stronger back so I’m able to work in my back yard, exercise in the gym, and do things I like to do which is important to keep overall health. Thank you Doctor Lu.

Tennis Eblow

I had tennis elbow for a very long time and had pain, it hurt when I brushed my teeth and I started to come see Doctor Lu and he looked at it and said acupuncture would be really good for tennis elbow. I came and had several sessions acupuncture over a couple months, and at first three times a week, then twice a week then once a week for a while.  The pain completely went away.  I was really fortunate, I didn't know what to do, my physician friends said they needed surgery, or cortisone shots. I didn't want to do that, and so I'm really happy for what Doctor Lu did for my elbow.

Lumbar Disk Herniation 2

           Upon moving my household recently, I damaged my back. My family doctor suggested lower back surgery, to repair two damaged lumbar disc. I got an appointment at Dr. Lu’s practice and discussed the issue with him; he immediately diagnosed the problem as a severely damaged lumber disc. After a MRI, we discovered the one disc was herniated, and another was compressed. This issue caused severe pain in my leg, due to a medical issue known as Sciatica. 
            Dr. Lu stated he could repair the condition without surgery, which it would take two months and after that I would be back healthy again. I did not want a surgery, so I elected to give Dr. Lu the chance to repair my back problem with acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. The first two weeks progress and pain relief was slow coming. After the third week of treatment we started to see a little progress, and it got better in larger steps after that. I am almost 100% healed now and I would recommend Dr. Lu to anyone that has back issues that can be healed and treated without surgery. He is a very good doctor, and takes a genuine interest in the patient’s well being and recovery.

Foot Pain

            For many years I have suffered with several foot pains in my left heel. I have been treated for over four years by well known Dallas area podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons with no success. A friend suggested that I try a chiropractor-acupuncturist to see if I could achieve any relief from the constant pain. I was skeptical at first but decide I would find the best doctor who had studied Chinese acupuncture; so I was led to you. 
            I cannot believe it! It is the first time in years that my foot pain is minimal and decreasing with every treatment. I wish I had found you much sooner. I will always be in your fan club and will highly recommend your service as an excellent doctor to everyone I know. I am so thankful to you for the difference your treatments have made in my life. I can do my job so much easier and still be pain free when I end my workday. I even have the energy to exercise again.
            Thank you again, as I continue to improve.
Your very devoted patient,

Hip/Leg Pain

I am a software engineer and we lived in Minnesota before moving to Dallas area the end of last year. After several years of intense work and long commute, I developed hip/leg pain with some lower back pain when sitting. The MRI resulted show negative. Earlier this year, the pain becomes worse. My Internal medicine doctor asked me to go to an orthopedic doctor and the orthopedic doctor asked me to go to a physical therapist. After a month and half physical therapy, there was mo significant improvement. So the doctor suggested me to do joint injection. He said I would feel much better after the injection and assured me that there would not be any side effects. But after the injection, I developed severe lower back pain and it was constant. I felt pain right after I woke up every morning and still I went to sleep. In the scheduled appointment with the doctor a week after the injection, he said there wasn’t anything he could do and just send me back to the physical therapist. I was so mad at him but damage was already done. I went back to physical therapist several more times and no improvement at all. I lived in agony for a month and half. Then my husband showed me an article by Dr. Lu in the newspaper on treating patients with herniated disc. I went to Dr. Lu’s office and he started treating me. After the first treatment, I already felt better in my lower back! Now after five treatments, the severe back pain caused by the joint injection is almost gone and Dr.  Lu is continuing to treat my old pain because of sitting. I’m so thankful to Dr. Lu and highly recommended him to anyone having pain.

Bulging Discs/BackPain

I came to Dr. Lu with back pain so acute that I could not sit or lie or stand for long. MRI showed three bulging disks, dehydrated disks. Sacrum-iliac cartilage injury was also suspected due to the nature of the accident. I had been on high doses of cortisone and often paralysis. The diagnosis was “sciatica”
            After the first week of treatment the pain was reduced and only occurred when I sat or lay down wrong. As six weeks went by I became completely pain free, after 2 month, I recovered almost full motion in the left leg----although the left sciatic nerve root had been the problem.
            A result of almost 16 acupuncture treatments in total and of doing exercise suggested by Dr. Lu, I recovered the ability to function normally. My emotional outlook and balance also improved.

Foot/Hip Pain

I have been your patient for one year. You have done more to help me than any other doctor I have ever been to see. At first, I had so many problems and so much pain with my foot and my hip; and now I just visit you to remain on track and to further improve my health.
             I have recommended your medical care to many of my friends and hope they will soon be pain free. I am so glad that I found you because you have made a big difference in the quality of my life. I am losing weight now that I am pain free. I am my former, happy self again.
 Your very devoted patient,
