A Swollen And Mysteriously Painful Foot

Anna, the daughter of a chiropractor, had endured severe foot pain for more than a month. She relied on crutches to navigate the stairs to her classrooms and required considerable assistance from her classmates. Despite consulting numerous physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, and even an acupuncturist, and despite taking a range of strong medications, she found no relief.

Her breakthrough came when an open-minded physician in Springfield, IL, Dr. Trapp, referred her to Dr. Na Zhai, having successfully referred other patients to her in the past. After just one acupuncture treatment with Dr. Na, Anna walked out of the office unaided.

While the cause of Anna’s pain remains unknown, her relief was undeniable—Dr. Na and Chinese medicine had taken her pain away.

Severe Neck Disability After An Automobile Accident

Tim suffered from severe pain that left him unable to turn his head or sleep, with electric-like sensations shooting down his left arm to his thumb. He consulted numerous doctors and tried a variety of pills, injections, and physical therapy—yet nothing helped.

His neurologist, Dr. Fortin, eventually referred him to Dr. Na, after otherwise recommending a potentially disabling neck surgery that carried a risk of paralysis. After just a single visit with Dr. Na, Tim felt certain that acupuncture would help where everything else had failed.

Today, Tim is cured. He is free of symptoms and pain, takes no medications, and feels just as he did before the accident.

Astonished Surgeon Said He No Longer Needed Surgery

In his late forties, Jerry, a heavy-construction laborer, fell from a truck and seriously injured his neck and shoulders. He experienced excruciating pain that constantly radiated down to his arms, hands, fingers, and even his toes.

"I couldn’t even talk—the vibrations from speaking made the pain worse. My head hung all the way down to my chest. I thought I was crippled for life."

A chiropractor treated Jerry for a while and provided slight relief, but suddenly the pain returned with severe intensity, prompting a visit to the emergency room. An MRI revealed three bulging discs in his neck. A surgeon recommended removing three cervical vertebrae and fusing five discs. Desperate for relief, Jerry scheduled the surgery—though he was fearful. "You never know what could happen during an operation," he said.

Shortly before the scheduled procedure, Jerry heard repeated praise about acupuncture from three close friends. After his first session, he felt 70% better. Now, after three months of treatment, he is completely pain-free. The surgeon was astonished and told Jerry he no needed the surgery.

Back, Neck, Shoulder Pain

Joyce suffered from severe back and neck pain for over six years. The discomfort was so intense that she couldn't sleep in bed, often waking and rising repeatedly throughout the night. Her physician offered no relief.

It wasn’t until she visited Dr. Na that her healing began. Today, she is delighted to be able to do everything she wants with little to no pain.

Back And Sciatic Pain

After suffering from excruciating sciatica pain for forty years, and following a fall down a flight of stairs, Joanne had tried every possible remedy without success. Then, after just one treatment with Dr. Na, she could hardly believe it—the pain was gone.

Chest Pain And Hyperlipidemia

David began experiencing chest pain and sought evaluation at the Mayo Clinic. He was diagnosed with blockages of 20–60% in several coronary arteries. Combined with his existing hyperlipidemia, he understood he was in serious danger.

David tried several prescribed medications, but they only made him feel worse, leading him to stop taking them. Then, after just three acupuncture treatments with Dr. Na—along with taking her herbal formula “Body Clean”—his chest pain disappeared entirely. His LDL cholesterol dropped by 50%, while his HDL cholesterol rose by 35%.

Motorcycle Accident - Crippling Pain

After an accident left Mark in excruciating pain, he was prescribed painkillers and steroid medications that only compounded his problems. He reached a point where he could no longer walk, stand, or even sit comfortably. At his mother’s urging, he reluctantly visited Dr. Na.

Though skeptical at first, Mark experienced noticeable relief after just one treatment. Today, he is a firm believer in acupuncture and would readily recommend it to anyone in pain.

Horseback Riding Accident - Chronic Pain

Mike loved horseback riding, but after just five minutes in the saddle, his legs would go completely numb. He also lost sensation in his legs to the point that he could no longer run. After enduring this for three years, it took just two sessions with Dr. Na for Mike to return to the activities he loves.
