Dear Ms. Luo:

      I am writing to inform you of how effective your acupuncture treatments were for me. When I first came to see you my right knee was causing me pain. I experienced difficulty bending my knee without feeling a sharp pain. As a shiatsu practitioner my knees get used quite often so I needed relief. After your first acupuncture treatment my knee felt 80% better. I still experienced minor discomfort but it was much better than before. After a couple of more treatments the pain was completely gone and now I am able to practice shiatsu without any discomfort.

    I also enjoyed receiving the energy balancing treatment. Afterwards I felt calm and stress free. I felt more focused and had more energy to get me through a very hectic day.

   Thank you so much for making me feel better and giving me the results that I needed. Your professionalism, caring demeanor and most importantly the results you have given me have made me a loyal client. I will be referring you to my friends, clients and listeners. I wish you continued success.

   When I was 20 years old I had an ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst. Over the next 10 years I went on to have several other surgeries on my remaining ovary. At 34 years old I got married and my husband and I decided to try to start a family. Shortly thereafter I began having symptoms of menopause. I went to a specialist who told me I was actually post-menopausal and the only option for us was a donor egg. I consulted another infertility specialist who allowed us try IVF. The procedure was not successful.

   I began seeing Ms. Ling Ling Luo to help with the symptoms of menopause. After the first time I saw her I never had another symptom and in fact my periods became regular. After several months of acupuncture and herbs, I quickly got pregnant. I continued with the acupuncture throughout my pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby boy nine months later. We wanted our son to have a sibling so after waiting 3 months for my body to recover from birth I took herbs along with acupuncture and got pregnant again. I continued with the acupuncture throughout the pregnancy and nine months later I delivered a healthy baby girl.

   Ling is a warm and compassionate caregiver with an amazing wealth of medical knowledge. Besides my children and my husband she is one of the greatest gifts in my life. She made my dream of becoming a mother come true.

   I received acupuncture for a bone contusion in my right ankle as a result of a football injury (helmet to ankle). I had suffered the injury for 6 months prior and had gone through 4 months of intense physical therapy prior to seeing LingLing Luo. After 6 months the pain remained and I could find no relief in resting, icing, compressions, massage, nor topical rubs.

   I started smoking at the age of 12 and am now 65. I have tried to stop smoking by using the patch, the gum, going to smoke-enders, and going cold turkey. All of these attemps left me with a strong urge to smoke and of course I did just that.

   With acupuncture by Ling Luo, I have had little or no urge to smoke-even if I took a puff, I found it most distasteful (I took the puff to see my reaction rather than the urge). The treatment itself, I find to be very relaxing and comforting and the need to seek comfort with a cigarette is totally gone. The treatments are so comfortable that I usually fall asleep.

   Now my breathing is much improved and my cough is almost non-existent. I feel very well and very good about myself.

   In October 1984 I was involved in a serious car accident. Among other injuries, my left ankle was severely broken and my right kneecap was shattered. Since then my ankle stayed extremely stiff with very little mobility and much soreness if I was on it for too long. My right knee had a lot of pain if I tried to bend at the knees while standing.

   I began seeing a reflexologist who helped increase the mobility in my ankle. Recently I began seeing Ling Luo for acupuncture treatments and I immediately noticed a decrease in the pain and stiffness in my ankle. There was a noticeable increase in range of motion. I was able to stand on my toes with no pain at all. I am able to do much more on my feet now. It used to be that after being on my feet a lot I would have so much pain the next morning that I would be almost unable to walk. I would limp for the first few minutes and I would take a while to work the stiffness out. Now (and it brings tears to my eyes to think about this) I hardly even notice the ankle at all when I get up in the morning!

   Ling Luo did one treatment on my knee also, which felt so warm and soothing. In combination with Dr. Garzillo's chiropractic treatment, I am able to completely bend at the knee, squat down and get up again with relatively little discomfort. I believe the acupuncture helped reduce the inflammation that aided the work of Dr. Garzillo.

   As for the acupuncture treatments themselves, I would describe them as soothing and relaxing. (This time I actually fell asleep!) They have felt different each time. Sometimes I feel an itching sensation. The treatment on my knee felt as though a warm liquid was circulating around my knee. It's hard to describe, but it was quite soothing. Many people ask me if it hurts. When the needle is put in it happens so fast it is hardly noticeable. There is sometimes a slight sensation of pain as the needle finds the right spot, but it's more a sensation of pressure than pain. (Kind of like when someone massages a knot in a sore muscle) Once the needles are in, though, I don't feel them anymore. Again, the sensation of pain is minimal and since I know it's productive I don't mind it at all. The majority of the session is just complete relaxation!

   All in all, I have experienced a dramatic decrease in stiffness and pain and a remarkable increase in mobility. It's amazing and I would recommend acupuncture to anyone! I'm not being overly dramatic when I say that it literally has improved the quality of my life (together with chiropractic care) and the newfound freedom of movement is allowing me to do things I haven't done in 15 years!

   It feels like a miracle!

   I had a lower back problem for several years. I was told my problem was caused by muscle spasm catching the nerve in my lower back. Since then I have been treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants and physical therapy.

   Recently I had another MRI done because the lower back pain is more severe affecting my work. The MRI showed that I have degenerative disease and bulge disc at L5 - S1.

   I was treated for the pain the first time with lingLuo (acupuncture). After the first treatment I felt 75% better than before. After the 3rd treatment I can actually run and do my every day normal activities. I felt 100% better like I didn’t ever have a problem!

   I had an enlarged prostate for 10 years. After being on Acupuncture for over two months (about 10 treatments), my prostate was reduced in size - Almost normal.

   Also, due to dental surgery and having an upper tooth taken out, I experienced dizzy spells for almost six months. I was taking medication (lorazepan) to control the dizzy spells. However, The dizzy spells have been reduced greatly and sometimes no dizzy spells since being on acupuncture.

   I am being treated for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The reason I turned to acupuncture is that I have been to a few doctors who all tried different treatments. Nothing worked except drugs that had a bad side effect of making me very tired ALL the time. This was just unsatisfactory!

   My fiance suggested that I try Acupuncture. I was very skeptical at first. I really do not like needles! I decided to try it anyway. I just finish my sixth treatment and I can say that I definitely notice a change in my symptoms. I have gone from having bad stomachaches about twice a week down to what seems like every other week. I am so happy I was talked into trying acupuncture. I feel like I have part of my life back. One of the best results is now the diarrhea that I suffered from as a symptom of IBS has all but disappeared.

   Three years ago (1997), I began having pain in my pelvic area. I first saw my gynecologist and she referred me to my family doctor since she was unable to detect the problem. My family doctor ran a series of testing (ultra sound, CAT scan, x- ray, blood work, MRI) and found nothing. I was sent to see an Urologist and a Neurologist and no one had the answer.

   A year ago, I saw a Pelvic Reconstructive Specialist and he found four problems that are rectal seal and three other problems in my pelvic area. He did surgery on these problems and was disappointed that my pelvic pain still continued after surgery. I then had laparoscopy and doctor did surgery on my adhesion that he hopefully thought that was the cause of pain. But I still have the same pain every day after that surgery.

   I was visiting my relatives in California and my brother in law suggested I was a good candidate for acupuncture since his wife had good experience with acupuncture. So when I returned, I began acupuncture treatment that I had a positive feeling about. After my second treatment my pain were down to 2 times in one week rather than pain every day. I had a good whole week without pain after 5th treatment.

   I cannot believe I am pain free after three years suffering. My treatments were painless and very inspiring. I learned a lot from these treatments and got the comfort and relaxing feeling from Ms. Ling Luo. Now I am looking forward to correct my incontinence problem with acupuncture.

   After my surgery a year ago I had constipation for a year. I depended on fleet enamas and stool softeners every day. Since acupuncture, I haven't taken any stool softeners or enamas. I move my bowels daily. It is quite remarkable. I can't believe I can move my bowels daily without a problem. Thanks to Ms. Ling Luo for her great help and faith in acupuncture.

   As the suggestion of a friend, I decided to seek help for my depression through acupuncture treatment. I was familiar with acupuncture because I had received acupuncture treatment for back pain a few years ago. However, I was unaware that it could be used to help treat depression. I had been battling bouts of depression for several years. I finally reached my breaking point when one of the bouts was lasting much longer than usual. I had lost my appetite, lost a lot of weight, was experiencing trouble with my body temperature, and felt sad and hopeless. The antidepressant my physician had prescribed me seemed to be making things worse. I finally decided to begin seeing Ms. Ling Luo. For the first several weeks I went for treatment once a week. After the first week or two my body temperature had begun to regulate itself. My appetite was also slowly coming back. After another week or so I realized that my mood had greatly improved. I was feeling much better overall and more like myself. I had a better outlook on things and was much less stressed. After a few more weeks of this continued successful treatment, Ms. Luo and I decided to decrease my treatments to once every other week. Things are still going well and I will soon decrease my treatments to once every three weeks. I am amazed at how quickly acupuncture has begun to helped me and am so happy that I decided to seek treatment.

   I have been undergoing acupuncture treatment for 8 months and I am so excited about the results! My unbearable allergy problems are what prompted me to see Ms. Luo. I had been taking allergy shots and prescription medication for 15 years. Even with the medication I was still having symptoms that were often debilitating. After just a few treatments, I started feeling a difference. In 6 months, I was able to stop taking all of my prescription medications! I am finally able to control my symptoms instead of my symptoms controlling me.
