I was in a car accident in 1997 in which I suffered severe brain trauma. Recovery took years and was no where near complete, despite recovering much better than predicted. immediately after the accident I began having extremely severe migraine headaches, as is common with this injury. From the beginning of 1998 until 2019 I suffered from a headache every day. Most days were barrable, but many were bad enough that I didn't get out of bed. My Primary Care Practitioner prescribed various medicines to help. Not all of them worked, and the ones that worked at first always became less effective over time as I was taking them so frequently, I would develop a tolerance after a while.
By 2019 there were no more medications left for me to try. And, at that point my PCP recommended acupuncture. That's when I met Dr. Wang. The first treatment with him was LIFE-CHANGING!!! The effect was immediate. I could feel the pain began to fade, as he removed the needles and it continued to fade for 2 more days. For the first time in 22 years I felt and entire day with no headache and, incredibly, no pills involved. The effects from the first treatment only lasted for a few days, and Dr. Wang said that would happen, that it would take some time and multiple treatments for the effects of the treatment to take full effect. For the first few weeks he treated me twice a week, then once a week, then every other week, now he treats me once every 4 weeks.
Since he has been treating me, I have been able to discover multiple things in my life that were triggering headaches. With the headaches under control most of the time it has been possible to isolate, foods, drinks, activities, and environmental factors contributing to them. In the seven years since he started treating me, I have been able to continually isolate contributing factors, that, coupled with his treatments has reduced my headache days tenfold and my debilitating headache days completely. I haven't stayed in bed all day with a headache in at least 5 years.
I can't put a price on the value his treatments have been for me. If you have a condition that is known to be treatable with acupuncture I highly recommend you schedule an appointment with Dr. Wang. You will not be disappointed. read more
