Stop Pain.
I have experienced back pain my whole life and also high blood pressure for the last five years. My sister told me to try her acupuncturist. After the first visit I had no pain in my back and each visit after has helped with other areas of my body as well. It has given me hope that I can have a life that is based on what I can do and not what I can’t do. I am sleeping better, have more energy and I have peace of mind. I can now look forward to the future; to days without pain.
I have been going to Nan’s Clinic for over a year and I would recommend it to anyone. I had inflammation of the nervous system, back pain, knee problems, torn rotator cuff, stomach ulcer (from pain meds), sleeplessness, and high blood sugar. Now, I have energy and sleep well.No pain meds needed. There has been an almost 100% improvement. The doctors are so good at diagnosis and treatment. I am also taking the TUINA massage therapy and it is very helpful. The office is clean and the staff are excellent. They really care about each patient. How refreshing.
The last 7 weeks of my pregnancy were awful. I had pain in every joint in my body, to the point that I couldn’t lift or carry my two year old. Some mornings I could hardly get out of bed or dress myself on my own. I was very skeptical, but needed relief and I was willing to try anything. Dr. Nan saved me! Within just a few visits I was feeling better. I could not believe that the chronic pain was gone and all without putting chemicals or drugs in my body. I am a BELIEVER!!!
I began sessions at Nan’s Acupuncture Clinic last summer (2010). Originally, I came because of a chronic cough. This was because of potential Sarcoidosis in my lungs, plus acid reflux. This had been an ongoing thing for 3 years. In addition, I have a pacemaker and I have high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol and all of these things have ultimately affected my sleep. A friend of mine had suggested that I try Acupuncture and it was about two months (3 times a week) when I started to see results. My cholesterol had dropped from 200 to 160, my pacemaker is now only calling for starting my heart beat 34% of the time as opposed to 95% of the time. I am sleeping better and I am feeling more energy. My chronic cough has diminished tremendously and from the last scan of my lungs, the sarcoid-like appearance is arrested.
My first visit with Dr. Nan was in September of 2010. I have Breast Cancer (Aggressive) so I have been to oncologists, had a mastectomy, and have been through intense chemotherapy treatments. In just 4 visits, my energy level improved greatly, as did my sleep habits. Overall, feeling of well being is vastly improved and even my allergies are gone! Dr. Nan made it possible for me to tolerate my chemotherapy sessions and because of him, my hope for the future is bright!
I first started treatment at Nan’s Acupuncture Clinic in November of 2010 for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. However, I have been dealing with the symptoms of this since I was 3 years old, and I am now 56. I had been to several other doctors to treat the symptoms of PTSD. I had been to chiropractors, psychotherapists, and neuro feed back specialists. I was referred by my sister, to give Acupuncture a try. I am sure glad I did! I started to notice results within the first 3 treatments! After years of using various therapies to treat the root of PTSD, I finally believe that resolution is possible as my brain and central nervous system are treated by Nan’s Acupuncture Clinic.
I had been diagnosed with Hep C in 2001 and have Fibromyalga, Arthritis, TMJ, Carpel Tunnel, Rashes, Bone Spurs, among other ailments. I had been suffering night and day with an itchy unrelentless skin rash for 2 years and found no relief at all. Dr. Nan relieved the itch by my 2nd visit. I fell as though he has saved me.
I had been to Doctors, Dentists, Chiropractors and Therapists, which sometimes exaggerated the pain or put it at bay for awhile with medicines.
I was so depressed I couldnt stand being in my own skin. I was on pain medication and other medicines for sleep and itching. Dr. Nan saved me. He gave me hope agian. I can sleep and he has gotten me to where I no longer use any pain medication. I will never have enough words to say about him. He is kind and generous.
My daughter had severe anxiety problems accompanied with depression starting at age 4…She saw Dr. Nan & is a different child; she is always happy. Its amazing and we couldn’t be happier! Her depression is gone and her anxiety is as well. At age 4, any parent would never expect her child to have these issues and to suffer. Thanks to Dr. Nan, I no longer have these worries if she is going to be happy. Thank you Dr. Nan!!!
My back pain resolved after 2 acupuncture treatments after struggling for 6 months with other medical treatments. My energy level has also greatly improved, and when I wake up, I get up quicker and feeling refreshed (I used to hit the snooze button for hours). Between these two positive attributes, I am now back to running 4 times a week, which is helping my mood and my self-esteem.
I felt improvement in my tendonitis after only 3 treatments at Nan’s Acupuncture Clinic. The staff is efficient & so friendly.
The chemo treatment took a lot out of me, the 1st & 2nd treatments were very difficult. Since I started acupuncture the effects started to ease up a half. I still have the “voice”, but no longer feel awful. The tumor markers have gone down a lot and we did a cat scan & it had improved. The 3rd time chemo was much much better.
I was unable to get pregnant. Fertility doctors said I had zero to 10% chance of getting pregnant on my own and that I would need IVF. I tried for 2 years to get pregnant with western medicine. After going to several fertility doctors and having failed IVF treatment, I decided to do acupuncture. After 8 months of acupuncture I was pregnant naturally. I had a very healthy and happy 9.1 lb baby girl. My sister-in-law referred me to Dr. Nan after seeing him for infertility treatment at the age of 42. She now has triplets.
After only 6 weeks of treatment, my energy level is way up. Overall I am feeling much better. I’ve stopped taking one of three medications so far. Headaches and tiredness are gone.
My first visit to Nan’s Acupuncture & Wellness Clinic was May 2008. I had been having problems with my menstrual cycle, and my gynecologist could not attribute the symptoms to anything specific. When I had extended menstruation times, I felt lethargic, weak, and actually tested as anemic. I knew something was wrong but not what. I also had the anxiety and worry that when along with it.
I had sought treatment from a gynecologist. This doctor prescribed a hormone treatment for one month at three different times over the five years. Things would seem normal and then get bad again. She still had no idea what caused the problem. She wanted to do a microwave treatment on my uterus lining to stop my uterus from producing a lining as a stop-gap measure, knowing she wasn’t treating the underlying cause of the problem. I told her that I believed my body was telling me something was wrong, and that I needed to figure out what.
I’d been having the problem, along with other related symptoms of fatigue, foggy headedness, and more, for over five years.
I found Dr. Nan’s clinic in the Yellow Pages. After interviewing several other acupuncturists, I felt most comfortable with Dr. Nan’s experience and came in for a consultation and initial treatment.
After the first three treatments, my cycle regulated. I continued coming three times a week for the first two months, and as needed after that time, and my cycle stayed normal and has been like clockwork for over a year. There was one occasion when I had a relapse, but after three treatments, everything was normal.
I came in for the above-stated condition but have ended up rediscovering a healthy energy and life that I had forgotten. I thought it was normal to stop sleeping well as you got older, but with treatment I started sleeping through the night instead of waking every 3-4 hours. My quality of sleep improved, leaving me feeling refreshed in the morning and energized throughout the day. Dr. Nan identified and worked on the underlying cause of my problem, which had been affecting so many other areas of my life, and instead of taking medication and continuing to stress my internal organ functioning, leading to more problems down the road, my body takes care of itself. Regular “tune-up” treatments coupled with Tuina massage keep me feeling healthy, alert, and focused. My family has seen Dr. Nan for various issues as well, and we are all healthier as a result.
The best results for my aches and pains: I have experienced relief from my pains due to arthritis and back pain. Never believed it would help. Tried it so many times before at other centers with no results. At Nan’s Acupuncture I found the healing I never dreamed possible. God bless everybody.
Its true until after the 5th visit you don't know how many times you will need to come in, usually. As it was explained to me it takes a few treatments for most peoples body to react to acupuncture. After you have had a few treatments you will be able to know how fast your body is reacting and how well it works for you. There was a package presented to me for my suggested treatment plan that was for a year and a few thousand dollars in which I would save a huge percent, which made treatments affordable for me, and cheaper than my normal Dr. It was only because I needed long term care. This is NOT the case for most people. And there are options to pay as you go or to purchase a smaller package. They are only concerned with helping your body heal and trying to save you money, it is unfortunate that someone would implicate any other motive. I am very thankful to Dr. Nan for relieving me of chronic pain, and would recommend him to anyone.

Enjoying relatively great health for 70+ years, we rarely saw a medical doctor, scarcely connected with a chiropractor, and would never have considered being the recipient of an acupuncturist needles. However, the testimony of a friend and the confirmation of our massage therapist opened our minds to the message and methods of Dr. Nan, a gifted Chinese doctor of acupuncture. My wife confides that the needles don't hurt, and I'm convinced that her acupuncture treatments are stimulating the necessary healing blood flow to her brain, heart and other vital organs tramatized in a horrific (pick-up truck on bike) accident on 11/19/2013
