Rehabilitations Under Dr. Liu, Elite Acupuncturist
I first came to Dr. Liu after my Dentist, who had his own sciatic issue resolved, recommended I go see him...
About a month before, I experienced for the first time a startling occurrence of not being able to get out of bed for pain in my lower back. After a bit I was able through arm strength to push my body near the edge and slowly cantilever my legs down to eventually stand. I slowly started warming up and moving about, limping to get ready for an appointment I had to keep. When eventually I reached the stairway to exit, on turning on the landing I collapsed, though part way down, caught myself on the banister.
From then on I was either in some pain or at best, keeping a tender equilibrium of cautious movement. Yet for never being ill and always healthy and strong and such frailty new to me, I kept it to myself. But by casual reveal, the good Dentist thought it better I might do something to address it.
And so, I did… I easily scheduled for when Dr. Liu was free and went in cash in hand.
His office was warm, comfortable and in good taste. And he turned out to be a most interesting man. Confident and direct, he began his examination, one I’d never experienced the likes of before.
After setting out what the difficulty was, he began a parallel pressing to either side of my body from lower thorax to thigh, and repeating this rhythm, progressively increased the pressure until I yelped… more than once. Apparently, thus gaining a scheme of tack for his technique, he had me lay face down for the treatment. After inserting the needles, and I marveling how painless that was, he then hooked on some few electrodes to the pins and fed an electric impulse into the maze he configured. Then I was in the zone of his confounding address… and I mean that in the best way. It is uncanny how he precisely alleviated my condition. As I can tolerate pain well, though it need not be so strong an intensity should one seek lighter address, I let him set the strength of the second by second impulse to what he wished me to tolerate. I accustomed myself to the regimen and honest truth, just on this one visit he abolished almost the whole problem. That was after four weeks of prior suffering. So, 20 minutes of discerned discipline yielded a most welcomed state of relief.
He suggested I see him twice more in another week to really get me in shape. Since that treatment in 2016, and one minor touch-up 2 years later, I’ve not again had pain in this area. Here I am writing this today, May 5, 2023. And by the way, that on-and-off-again sciatic problem had been an issue since my early Union days as a painter beginning in 1969.
So, there it is!
But the story continues. During that minor rehab just referred to, I also brought up that I’d been newly experiencing some vertigo, and could something be done. So, there we started handling my disequilibrium. That also was satisfactorily resolved in a few visits, and for me, it was quite important to have my usual balance restored.
In my opinion, Dr. Liu is just amazing.
But I keep getting older… I smoke, don’t exercise anymore since retiring (my work had kept me in shape) and the physical universe pays its due. Today I’m being treated for a frozen shoulder, which I’d never before even heard of until forced to investigate. This is taking me a bit more time to resolve as it happens and I can only leave a progress report… but here it is.
About 4 months ago, unable to extend my right arm and hand across my body to reach my left flank, or raise it high without pain, or reach up behind my back, unable to lay on my right side in bed, and soliciting ache if I tense my shoulder, I let this go unhandled until my schedule was less complicated, two and a half months that is. After 7 treatments, now my days are almost back to normal. There’s only a slight amount of reach left that I can’t perform as well. This is remarkable, based on the opinions of a pair of on-line physical therapists who claim such recovery is an impossibility, as recovery, they think, takes around 2 years.
I’m 75 years old and looking at the next challenge to give this marvelous human being… to see what can be done with my 20-year-old tinnitus?!
Why not!

If you have injuries of any kind I highly recomend Dr. Liu. I am a retired dancer with many injuries and I wouldn’t be able to work if it wasn’t for my treatments.

I am currently writing a blog post about how Dr. Liu literally changed my life. He is the most intuitive and brilliant diagnostician. I did not believe that I could be fully healed through acupuncture but time and again he treated my afflictions and, yes, I was healed. The process is intense so be prepared . But he brings total care and commitment to his patients and answers all inquiries. Delve into the process and grow.

I have seen many acupuncturists around the world but no one delivers results like Dr. Lui. If you suffer from depression this is your doctor. He will heal you.
