I went to Dr. Lok yesterday for back pain. Now, I'm not talking about little bitty back pain where if you take an aleve you're good to go for awhile. I'm talking about back pain so bad you're crying, no matter what position you're in you hurt, and where you're in so much pain you are physically ill and throwing up all day long, that kind of back pain.
I was able to get an appointment for the same day, and upon arrival the receptionist (who I believe is also Dr.Lok's wife) greeted me like family, and thankfully immediately showed me where the restroom was so my stomach could rebel again. Then, after that lovely experience, I was taken into a treatment room where Dr. Lok questioned me on what was wrong and then proceeded to examine me. Before coming to the U.S., Dr.Lok was a surgeon in China, so the man knows anatomy. Pretty quickly Dr.Lok determined that I was experiencing tendinitis down my spine ("easy to treat"), and stick his handy little needles from the starting point to where it stopped, attached the little electric doodads and got it going, plus put a heat lamp over my back to increase whatever relief I could get.
Let me tell you, there was immediate relief! I took a quick nap on my stomach (and I'm a back sleeper), that's the kind of relief I'm talking about. Once done, Dr.Lok essentially gave me a spine massage, massaging me in between each individual vertebrae. After it was all over, I got up moved about twisting around, and holy crap I felt so so much better, I could move!
Oh, and since Dr.Lok does not advertise, his prices are extremely reasonable: $99, though I added a 20% tip for making me feel so much better. I will definitely be coming back! read more
