We identified I had a yin deficiency, which I have heard from other practitioners before. I was told I have inflammation from the "heat" from the yin deficiency. All made sense to me. There was no type of improvement that I could see. I was uncomfortable during the acupuncture and was barely relaxed. I've seen other practitioners and did not have this kind of experience. I really wanted to like this practice so it was disappointing. I wanted to commit to doing it for a year, but I just couldn't hold out because I was actively suffering through the acupuncture. (And I'm a fan of it!) What really got me was that Dr. Hou would see me every week and say the exact same things for 4 months. "Tongue getting better." Or "Toenails are still dark red (low oxygen) but getting better." This on repeat for 4 months. There was no visible or internal improvement on my end. I committed completely and took her suggestions. I tried to tell her my concerns, but she had no answers for me. Just that it will take a long time and that my "cells need to grow." If I had a dime for every time I was told my "cells need to grow," here I would be rich. I understand TCM and have no issue with waiting, but the constant "you're getting better" was suspicious. I had a bad feeling about it. I was basically told to wait a year to see improvement, but the repetition felt very "snake oil salesman" to me. Not to mention, the place seems like it hasn't been deep cleaned in a very long time. The tables are uncomfortable. The prices are decent, so if you want to give it a try and see if your issues resolve unlike mine, give it a shot! I saw a lot of great reviews so I really wanted to give it a solid try. But I need to get a second opinion after this experience. I was sketched out and had to trust my gut.

I started going to Dr. Cheryl after a neck injury that led to months of headaches, vertigo and…read moresevere back pain. In the first session (btw, she squeezed me in after hearing about my problems, even though I was a first time patient) she checked me out, took copious notes and worked on my neck and back. At the end of my first visit I left her office feeling no pain, no headaches and no dizziness. It was the first time in 4 months that I felt like myself. I saw Dr. Cheryl twice a week for a month, backing off to once a week for another month and now see her when I feel I need an adjustment or work on other areas of my body. Having someone who knows my body's strengths and weaknesses is really making a difference in my over-all health and in my running. I'm really glad I found Dr. Cheryl and I plan on using her regularly.

Dr. Cheryl is also very knowledgeable and good at explaining why was having pains and where it was originating from. She gave me exercises and recommendations to do at home and how to change my lifestyle. High highly recommend! I also saw Dan for a massage after an appointment and he was incredible! I told him what Dr. Cheryl was working on and where I was feeling pain/tightness. He went to work and made my body feel almost new! The best massage I have ever had and I have had a lot of massages! Again, highly recommend Dan for massage! Overall amazing practice that I plan on making a permanent part of my health upkeep!

Admittedly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in. I didn't even know exactly what I was…read morecoming in for. I just felt... Off. No physical pain to speak of, but my brain was foggy, it was hard to concentrate. I was also feeling anxious and particularly irritable... just feeling run down. Dr. Chen was gracious enough to accommodate me at the last minute. After a few minutes and some intake questions, she laid me on the table and started the treatment. I have a phobia of needles but overall it was generally painless (although I did feel a few tiny pricks here and there when she was applying the needles to my feet.) About 45 minutes later she removed the needles and the nodes that she had applied to the various parts of my body and used some kind of liniment and gua sha tool to loosen the abundant tension in my shoulders. That part was a little uncomfortable... The same way that getting a deep tissue massage might be uncomfortable. When I left I felt... Lighter. A few days later I was able to accomplish some difficult things that I had been struggling with.... That I had not been able to focus on or direct the proper attention to. Can I attribute it directly to acupuncture? I don't know. But I'd like to believe that the treatment definitely helped in I'm blocking and balancing my chi. That said, I definitely plan to return for follow-up appointments in the future. Thanks Dr. Chen.

Fine technique, but---- I'd like her for no other reason that---she agrees with me: acupuncture is greatly under-used. Acupuncture should be taking the country by storm. Acupuncture works. No MRI's or x-ray exposure, no pills, and no high prices, no toxic overload. Users of acupuncture can make a difference by spreading the word, tell family and co-workers of our successes with acupuncture. We need to lobby Congress to get acupuncture covered under Medicare. If your hospitalization plan doesn't cover acupuncture, nag them. Parents whose child is prescribed medication for behavior, should try acupuncture first. People with anxiety or fatigue or drug dependence would be helped with acupuncture....with the added plus that you'd know right away. Acupuncture instead of a face-lift, it tightens the skin, and is thousands of dollars cheaper. Not my condition at all, but here is a link that suggests that those with diabetes could well try acupuncture. The cost of the medication alone would suggest using acupuncture instead of expensive drugs. But---it's the buildup in the body, that I'd worry about. Acupuncture does not carry toxic buildup risk. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319618.php Acupuncture assists the body to get back on track. The body heals itself. Ever heard a doctor or pharmacist say that? We who have been helped by acupuncture need to spread the word. Finding the skilled Dr. Chen in her nicely appointed elevator building office, has been a delight.

The Friday I was told I needed surgery, I immediately called and made an appointment at WAC. I had an appointment for Monday. Upon arrival, I filled out some forms and was thankful to see that they did accept insurance. Coverage varies from plan to plan and I'm thankful that my visits were 90% covered but it's still unclear how many visits they've paid for (still waiting for word on that). On the first visit, you can expect to be there for an hour and a half. During this 1hr+ period, you'll have a full evaluation (q+a) and then the acupuncture. You put on a paper gown and lay however instructed. (Me, on my left side facing the wall.) In general, I'm not afraid of needles...unless I'm watching you stick one in me. Thankfully, since my area of complaint is my back, I never had to watch him put one of the needles in my skin. You might be wandering what it feels like? Well, depending on where the needle goes, I either felt a bit of pressure but no pain, or I didn't feel it at all! Most times, I thought I just heard a flicking-type sound when they were inserted but I didn't feel it. Now, once the needle is in, however, when he pushes it in further or angles it differently - that is an entirely different feeling; sometimes painful, sometimes not. There were times when I felt tingly, felt some kind of something shoot down my leg or across my side. Dr. Xiao Ming Tian would stick the needles in the appropriate spot based on what the pain was like that day. Some days it hurt down my leg so he'd make sure there was a needle in my back area to address that pain. One day I mentioned I had a headache so he gave me additional needles in my head/neck (which was awesome!). Once all the needles are in, they need to stay in for 30-45 minutes. A heat lamp hangs over the acupuncture spots and it's nap time. That's right - a doctor sanctioned nap! I found over the last 14 sessions that while I actually slept some of the time, 80% of the the rest of the time I felt like I was in that place between asleep and awake and it was downright relaxing. When time is up, they come back in the room and take out the needles, you put your clothes back on and you go home and repeat the next day or however many visits Dr. Tian recommends. In my case, it was 15. I'll be honest, I was really quite skeptical about acupuncture at the beginning. I figured I'd give it a go but had low expectations. Thus far, it hasn't "cured" my back but it has significantly helped with managing the pain. It has also brought my blood pressure down to normal human numbers again so I'm very very pleased about that. (This was a result, apparently, of the placement of one needle in my forearm.) Yea...I'm a believer now! I've never been more eager to spread the word about a doctor, let alone an acupuncturist but I'm telling you - if you ever considered acupuncture before, come see Dr. Xiao Ming Tian at Wildwood. He is a darling older Chinese man who is extremely intelligent, very kind and truly cares about his patients. (Also, he gave me a Chinese restaurant recommendation in Rockville that I'm excited to check out! Seven Seas.)
