L.R. – Chapel Hill, NC

I went to Dr. Helen Wang for acupuncture because I had been experiencing excruciating headaches, neck pain, and was unable to sleep. A prior MRI showed no physical problems. During my first visit with Dr. Wang, I was amazed at how different it was compared to a Western medical doctor’s approach. The room atmosphere was calming and I felt more like I was with a friend who cared rather than a medical doctor. There was not a 15 minute limit to my appointment. I felt relaxed and she asked me to tell her about my pain, how long I had been experiencing it, how I felt and what I believed to be causing it? I did not feel rushed as she listened intently to what I was describing. She did a tongue and pulse diagnosis and then began the acupuncture treatment making sure that the needles caused no discomfort. She put on serene music, lowered the lights and the acupuncture needles did the rest as I lay quietly relaxed. She also prescribed herbs for me to take as tea to continue the treatment. I am now pain free and much more relaxed for the first time thanks to Dr. Wang.  I highly recommend her to anyone who prefers not to treat their symptoms with pharmaceuticals but to cure the cause. Acupuncture and herbs are a more holistic approach to healing.
