Life after Element Healthcare........ I got my life back!!!
To give you some background. I had chronic pain for 2 solid years.
Working like I had, as a Program Director for a leading drug rehab in OC, I knew quite well the horrific effects that prescribed medications could have on a person. During my employment at the rehab I witnessed countless misguided people that were suffering from chronic pain, take the advice of their doctor and begin the regimen of prescribed pain killers only to end up walking through our doors a year or two later addicted, depressed, and a shadow of the person they once were. I knew that this was not and could not be a solution for me. Suffering every day with chronic pain in my lower neck and upper back caused by a degenerative condition, I lived daily with wretched headaches and the feeling of bone on bone where my neck meets my upper back. The pain was excruciating.
One day my husband returned home after receiving acupuncture at Element Healthcare for arthritis in his knees. He said he felt so good after his treatment and that his pain had ceased. I didn't waste a minute. I immediately called Element Healthcare and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Michael Liang. I'll never forget my first appointment with him. It was a Thursday, my impression of Element Healthcare was that it was a peaceful office with friendly, caring staff. Dr. Michael Liang was very informative and explained how acupuncture works. All I had to do was explain the location of my pain and how long I had it and Dr. Michael did the rest. To be honest, I didn't really expect for it to work. As a part of pain relief without medications, I religiously get massages and although I can't deny they feel great and they relax the muscles, they are very temporary and I wind up in pain again sometimes just an hour after receiving a massage. I also use acupressure and chiropractic care on a regular basis, none of these yielding lasting results. Upon arrival I was placed in a clean, tranquil room with soothing music playing on low in the background. I noticed a warm soothing feeling from a heat lamp that he placed over the needles. That's the last I remember, I think I fell asleep. When it was done, I thanked him and left feeling really good but skeptical that it would last. That night I was amazed that I was still 100% pain free for the first time in 2 years! I think I must have mentioned to my husband 20 times that first night that I was pain free!!! The next day, the day after that and many days to follow, I made that same announcement to my husband. I have been pain free for many Thursdays since my first visit to Element Healthcare. He has never had to treat that area again.
I now am seeing Dr. Michael Liang for acupuncture to balance my hormones after going through menopause. I would like to report that since receiving acupuncture for my hormones. I no longer experience hot flashes and I sleep like a baby all through the night-a luxury that I hadn't had since going through menopause. I cannot say enough about Element Healthcare. They gave me my life back! Dr. Michael Liang is a second generation acupuncturist who trained in China and has a profound understanding of the human body and the workings of acupuncture, mixed with his genuine care for people, the experience you receive there is like non other. He goes above and beyond in every way to make a person's life better. The staff are all well trained and busy, busy, busy. I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you experience chronic pain or acute pain, you need not experience either any longer. I give this place 5 stars!
Question; would you rather be that person that has to put harmful medications in your body everyday reducing your quality of life and the lives of those around you? Or would you rather be living life again, pain free, medication free and enjoying every second? Your choice! Call Element Healthcare and get your life back!
