Dr. Hu is fantastic! I have suffered from migraines for many years, and I have never taken well to traditional migraine medication. I decided to try acupuncture after hearing about how it helped people that I know with their migraines. I decided to try Dr. Hu based on the high recommendations that I've seen online, and I am so glad that I did. I was impressed from the start. Using his wealth of experience and expertise, he immediately pinpointed areas of my neck, shoulders and head that were incredibly stiff and painful that he suggested were exacerbating my migraines. I guess I had been living so long with the stiffness and stress that I didn't even know that they were in such bad shape. After he did tuina(Which is traditional Chinese therapeutic massage) and needle, I felt the endorphins kicking in, and I felt very relaxed. When I first started treatment, I still got 2 migraines, but each time that I did, Dr. Hu made time in his schedule to see me, and each time that I came in with a migraine, by the time the acupuncture treatment was over, the migraine was gone! I went twice a week for about 3 weeks or so, until my stiffness started to loosen up, which resulted in my migraines seeming to completely stop. Since then, I've been going about once a week, and I haven't had a single migraine in almost two months. Importantly, Dr. Hu has impressed me by always saying that his job is to heal you as opposed to just keeping you there for no reason. In fact, he says that I'm now well enough to stop going to treatment, and that the only reason to come back would be if I start feeling terribly stressed again. With his professionalism, his fantastic expertise, his calm demeanor (which is especially helpful the first couple of times you go, when you're still pretty nervous), his very clean acupuncture technique (disposable needles, sterile technique, and overall cleanliness), and his general approach (his focus on your overall health), he has made a lifetime customer out of me. If stress, pain, or migraines ever get me down, I know I have someone nearby that I can trust to help me get back to normal!
