Online Review:
“I couldn’t believe it so I got back on the scales three times today. It’s true. I have lost nine pounds in one month with treatments of acupuncture and herbal teas from Dr. Mark Xu. Originally, I was visiting Dr. Xu for lower back pain and severe pain in my left hip. I have never been an advocate of taking pills to mask a problem that still exist. So when I saw a friend of mine go from being barely able to stand after sitting to not only standing with ease but also walking with ease, I wanted to know what happened. She told me about Dr. Xu. My back and hip pain are less severe after only two months of treatments. Many of my days now are totally pain free. Oh yes, at the beginning of my second month of treatment for pain, by mutual agreement it was decided that weight loss could only help my progress to be pain free. Now I weigh nine pounds less in one month and have much less pain after only two months thanks to Mark Xu. I will continue my treatments. P.S. I failed to mention, in addition to weight loss, I have lost inches and my favorite dress fits better.”

What was your medical condition before you started treatment with Dr. Xu:
Severe Sciatic pain caused by subluxation of L5 on L4 and narrowing of L3-1 and S1unable to sit for any period of time-woke up every hour in pain had to sit up for 30 minutes and 1 hr of spasms. Fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy. Severely obese, tendonitis and arthritis in base of both thumbs. Thought about pain 24/7 and was think there has to be more to life than this pain and went up stairs immediately after dinner so I could lie down.

Duragesic patch, etodolac (anti-flammatory) elavil (for peripheral neuropathy) lopid (cholesterol) dyazide (fluid retention) lexapro and percopan/Tylenol #3 every 4 hours for pain.
What is your current medical condition:
The pain in lower back/but locks is diminishing. Sometimes I do not think about pain at all. I am going out more to movies and restaurants. I now can sleep 3-5 hours and spasms subside much faster.

Stopped Lexapro and do not take any acute pain medications. Continued reduction of pain weight loss 40 lbs so far. I am moving easier and better, not as hungry.
