Carmel Wellness Center, Acupuncture and Spine Care

I started going to Dr. Harry in August of 2018. The first thing that told me this was different than going to see a regular doctor was the fact that he actually talked to me for more than 2 minutes before rushing to tell me what pill I needed to take, or what stretch I needed to do, then scribble it down and leave. Most doctors focus on the surface issue, not the real CAUSE. I am a prime example of this; I was told I had plantar fasciitis after a 30 second scan. This was completely wrong. Dr. Harry on the other hand spent almost 45 minutes with me on my initial visit. He listened to how I was feeling, what other doctors had told me, and then proceeded to ask more questions. He wasn’t in a rush which made the appointment meaningful and engaging. After our discussion, he talked to me about trigger points and proceeded to touch three that were blocked by scar tissue on me. It was amazing! The issue was not plantar fasciitis at all, which I had been doing treatments on for 5 months. After the first acupuncture session, I felt results and pain subsiding. With every session, the pain would dissipate a bit more until it was gone. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a try. It addresses the issue physically and mentally, and is quite relaxing. more

Dr.Shao is THE BEST! He and him staff are patient and thorough. I went in with Rheumatoid Arthritis and severely swollen ankles that have been like this for more than two years. Within two weeks, almost half the swelling is gone, and my mobility is improved. I appreciate him very much! more

Amazing: An QLE football Player 65yrs old and worn out. My neck turns so I can look both ways while driving. My stomach is reduced and I can breath much better. Believe it or not I can breath though my nose, haven't been able to in years. Three visits made me feel great. Loved it. more
