Dr. Na Zhai Clinic Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Ann: Off the Medications, Back to Life
Ann was referred to Dr. Na by her rheumatologist, Dr. Trapp, for further treatment.
She came with migraines and arthritis.
"I was having migraines, headaches," Ann said. "I had a lot of them."
The Turning Point
Ann had been taking several drugs: muscle relaxers, pain relievers, and sleep aids.
"Dr. Trapp recommended me to come here," she said.
So she did.
The Treatment
Dr. Na treated Ann with acupuncture—the same protocol that awakens and balances the body's systems and promotes circulation.
The Outcome
After just a few sessions, Ann was delighted to stop her long-standing medication.
"I now don't take any drugs," she said. "My energy level is better. The acupuncture has helped my life a lot, and I really appreciate Dr. Trapp sending me here to see Dr. Na."
Ann now enjoys a renewed sense of energy and vitality.
What Ann's Story Shows
Ann was on muscle relaxers, pain relievers, and sleep aids. She had migraines and arthritis. Her rheumatologist could do no more.
So Dr. Trapp did something that most physicians rarely do: he sent her to a different kind of doctor.
After a few sessions of acupuncture, Ann stopped all her medications. Her migraines improved. Her energy returned.
And she is not the only patient Dr. Trapp has referred. He sent Anna, the 19-year-old who could not walk on her foot. He sent others. He kept sending patients because he kept seeing results.
That is the model. A Western physician refers. A TCM physician treats. The patient gets better. And the physician refers the next one.
This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with migraines, arthritis, and chronic pain. Because the treatment follows a pattern, it can be taught. Because it can be taught, it can be passed on.
This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.
And it began with a rheumatologist who trusted her—and a patient
