Dr. Harry Shao Chinese Acupunture Carmel Wellness Center

I have been seeing Dr. Harry Shao for 2-1/2 weeks. I initially came to his bc no other treatment for my neck pain and severe headaches had worked. I had been to a family doctor, an ear, nose and throat doctor, a neurologist and a chiropractor. I was desperate for some relief. I felt significantly better after my 2nd session. Currently, I have no neck pain or headaches and Dr. Harry Shao has even helped with my sleep. After taking sleep meds for the last 6 years, I am sleeping with just strategically placed herbal patches. The acupuncture doesn't hurt...in fact at my last visit, I was so relaxed that I couldn't stay awake. Dr Harry Shao is compassionate, caring and very knowledgeable. I will continue to see Dr. Harry Shao when any medical issues arise. I'm a believer!!!! more

I have been suffering with lower back pain and knee pain for the past 7 years. My mobility was gone, I couldn't walk up stairs, stand for any length of time, sit for any length of time, walking through the grocery store was an effort. Sleepless nights were constant. I was truly miserable and couldn't tolerate the pain any longer. I had a couple nerve blocks put into my spine and SI joint only to have temporary relief, not addressing the cause or source of the problem. Dr. Harry Shao and acupuncture have given me that pain relief!!! After 6 treatments I can walk up stairs, sit , stand, bend over, kneel, virtually pain free and I am sleeping through the night!! Acupuncture has also solved some sinus issues I was having. The source of my problem have been my knees and the scar tissue build up from injuries and arthroscopic surgeries in the past. I am very thankful I found Dr. Harry. Thank you Dr. Harry to you and your kind staff. more

My pain is much better… I have been to many different Chiropractors in my life, some more thorough than others. When I started seeing Dr. Shao, I realized what a good Chiropractor should being doing to help me. He is very good , making sure the whole body is adjusted, not just the back! more

Aaron (foot/leg pain) I started going to Dr. Harry in August of 2013.  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
