After experiencing a stroke two years ago, my journey towards recovery has been marked by various challenges. However, the introduction of acupuncture therapy at Liferiver Acupuncture has been nothing short of transformative. From my very first consultation, I was impressed by the depth of knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the practitioners at Liferiver Acupuncture. They took the time to thoroughly understand my medical history and the specific challenges I faced post-stroke. Their personalized approach instilled a sense of trust and confidence in me from the outset. Under their care, I began attending sessions twice a week, and within just six weeks, the difference was unmistakable. Not only did I experience significant improvements in physical symptoms such as muscle stiffness and pain, but I also noticed enhancements in my overall well-being. The sessions themselves were incredibly calming and rejuvenating, providing a sanctuary amidst the tumult of recovery. What truly sets Liferiver Acupuncture apart is their commitment to education and empowerment. Throughout each session, they patiently explained the principles behind acupuncture and how it was aiding in my recovery. This understanding empowered me to take an active role in my healing journey, fostering a sense of agency and control. I am deeply grateful to the team at Liferiver Acupuncture for their unwavering support and guidance throughout this process. Their knowledge, expertise, and compassionate care have been instrumental in my recovery journey. For anyone seeking holistic and effective care, particularly those navigating post-stroke challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Liferiver Acupuncture. Thank you, Liferiver Acupuncture, for helping me reclaim my health and vitality. read more

I recently had the pleasure of receiving care from Dr. Shujung (Melinda) Hung, and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first visit, Dr. Hung's profound knowledge and compassionate demeanor were evident, making me feel at ease and cared for. Her expertise is truly impressive; she listens attentively to all concerns and takes the time necessary to explain every detail of the treatment process. My symptoms have been improving steadily with each visit, which is a testament to her skillful approach and dedication to her patients' well-being. Moreover, the atmosphere in the clinic is wonderfully warm and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly, making every visit feel like you're catching up with family rather than attending a medical appointment. Also meeting Dr. Sam Tseng has been an absolute pleasure. From the moment I met him, he made me feel incredibly welcome. He's always willing to answer any questions, which is truly commendable. His friendly and approachable nature makes interactions with him a delightful experience. I highly recommend Dr. Hung (Liferiver Acupuncture) to anyone in need of medical attention. Her ability to provide exceptional care while creating a comforting environment is truly remarkable. You won't just be treated as a patient here--you'll be treated as family. read more

I had migraine and sleep disorders for years. I got bad headache if I didn't sleep well. I didn't sleep well if I got headache. It is such a bad circle! Especially this year, I had so many troubles in my life to deal with, that caused me to have constantly migraine, pain and headache. I was full of despair. Luckily I met Dr. Hung and Dr. Tseng. They are amazing! They saved my life. On Halloween 2021, I felt all my muscles on my back were stiff, pain. I asked Dr. Hung to take me in the next day. They did Acupuncture first then Dr Tseng came in, using his elbow to press different points on my back. Oh, my Lord. That was so good. My whole back was loose after half an hour. Dr. Hung also gave me Chinese herbal medicine to adjust my sleep and my body system. The third visit, I still felt pain on my head. They gave me acupuncture, massage. After that Dr Tseng used electrical cupping to move around my head few times. The pain on my head disappeared. MIRACLE! I was so happy. I started smiling from my heart which I haven't had that feeling for many months. The fourth visit, I still felt some pain on my back, after Acupuncture, Dr. Tseng gave me scratch on my back and neck. My pain almost completely disappeared after four times. They are my SAVERS. read more

I cannot recommend Melinda and Life River Acupuncture highly enough. I initially started seeing her for a wide range of concerns, including various aches, chronic pains, and persistent digestive issues. From the very first session, I was struck by how incredibly compassionate and attentive she is. She truly listens to your concerns and tailors her approach to what your body needs in that moment. Since starting treatment, my digestive issues have subsided, and the physical pains that used to plague me have improved. Even though my initial symptoms are under control, I continue to go for routine sessions because she has become an essential part of my stress and ongoing pain management. The clinic environment is peaceful and relaxing, providing a perfect escape from the day-to-day. I always leave feeling more balanced and grounded. If you are looking for a practitioner who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about your well-being, Melinda is the person to see. I'm so grateful for her outstanding care! read more

I can't say enough good things about both Dr. Melinda Hung and Dr Sam Tseng.. From the moment you walk into their front office until you leave after your treatment you know you are in good hands. The office is very tranquil, both doctors are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to your overall health and wellness. Helping you get better sleep, the best foods to put into your body, matching foods to help with what ails you, dealing with chronic pain and chronic sleep issues. My favorite that I have never experienced before is the acupuncture facial. I call this the sleeping beauty facial! it puts you in such a relaxed state that you will fall asleep and the treatment helps to stop the aging process while working on making you look younger! Their herbal treatments and special Accupuncture techniques can help heal you from within. I highly recommend them both! Gretchen T read more

Dr. Sam and Dr. Melinda are as good as it gets. I can not recommend them enough. I called out of desperation as I lived with migraines and upper back pain. I had tried everything before acupuncture. I went to a chiropractor for over a year twice a week and did massage on a regular basis. The only relief I had was the day of but not long term. Dr. Sam and Dr. Melinda brought me long term relief. The second I met them I knew I was in good care. They love and believe in what they do. They care about their patients. The care I received went above and beyond. Dr. Sam would extend his day if it meant fitting me in and I was experiencing an intense migraine. If you're looking for an answer to your pain, this is the facility. I've moved out of the state and I've yet to find any facility to care for me the way they took care of me. Im grateful. read more

I have been dealing with heel pain due to chronic calcific tendinopathy for ten months. I have tried PT and iontophoresis with minimal improvement. On vacation near Granite Bay CA, I was referred to Life River Acupuncture by a close friend and had three treatments by Dr. Sam Tseng over about 10 days. I can report that I have improved significantly and have minimal residual pain. Traditional medicine physicians like myself are often skeptical of alternative treatments, but I have too many friends and family members that have benefitted from acupuncture not to have tried it. I will fly back from PA to CA if more treatment is needed, but at this point I suspect that won't be necessary. Many thanks Dr. Sam. Sincerely, Larry McNiesh, M.D. read more

I have been seeing Dr Hung and Dr Tseng for over 4 months and the pain I had from my 15cm fibroid subsided completely. At the same time, I was also having issues standing up after sitting. The pain shot up from my tailbone and it was getting more frequent. I saw a chiropractor for 4 sessions but the adjustments were not helpful. Dr Hung treated me once and the pain relief was immediate. Through regular visits, I rarely have issues with getting up from a chair after prolong sitting. Both doctors care about their patients very much and have amazing knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and experience. I can't thank them enough and I appreciate their encouragement in allowing my body to heal with their technique and approach. read more

I am very pleased with my experience at Life River Acupuncture. Dr. KuoSen (Sam) Tseng has been treating me for chronic lower back pain and it's working. I have osteoarthritis in my back. At my first appointment I wasn't able to lift my leg to get in my car. He used various techniques to help me regain my mobility and my pain lessened right away. My posture has improved significantly as a result. He is very personable and takes into account all I have to say about my ailments. I enjoy all his extra tips on how I can live a healthier, happier life. I look forward to going to my appointments. read more
