I approached Lehigh Valley Oriental Medicine Centre because after 6 months of doctors and PT, nothing helped me. We were told surgery might be the only option. We did not want to do that for a young athlete unless it was the last option because of long term effects.
Lehigh Valley Oriental Medicine Centre helped her by not only helping heal the actual injury but also the emotional toll it took on sleep and frustration.
The result was - Amazing! Absolutely amazing! The very first time we walked out after treatmentVictoria was shocked by how much pain was already gone. She was able to lift her arm without any numbness shooting Down her arms to her fingers or her back. The second treatment we left almost in tears because she immediately said she felt like a new person already.
One thing I liked was their ability to not just treat the actual injury itself but the fallout effects of it. The stomach aches from the pain meds, the lack of sleep from pain, and the overall emotions of being in pain for so long and missing out on activities you love because of it.
I found the experience to be incredibly relaxing and peaceful. Ming Ming and Dave make you feel at home with lots of hope and encouragement. After months of frustration, it was like we walked in and they were like “We Got This”. Sit back and relax.
I would recommend Lehigh Valley Oriental Medicine Centre to people who need help with a sports related injury or any pain. It truly is amazing how Acupuncture can help with so many aspects of life, but I am so incredibly grateful how quickly it took severe pain and swelling down from such a troublesome injury.
Victoria is a high performance equine athlete that travels and competes at world title events. Following her fall she could not ride for almost five months. When Ming Ming started helping her she was able to ride slowly by going back to the most basic form of riding and needing to stop and get off often. After two months of treatment she is almost back to the highest level of competition riding.
We are so incredibly grateful to Lehigh Valley Oriental Medicine!
