What Our Clients Say

Our clients’ words speak volumes about the quality of our work and the relationships we build. Here’s a glimpse into the experiences of individuals and families who’ve entrusted us with their care.

Allergy

I am a Doctor in Physics with a tremendous confidence in Science and Technology. In general, I eat very healthy; fruits, vegetables, fish, tofu, olive oil. I exercise at least 4 times a week. But, I also have a very stressful (normal these days) job. During the last two winter seasons, everybody was happy because the mildness of the season, and so was I.

During the last two winter seasons, everybody was happy because the mildness of the season, and so was I. However, I started to get worried about an early spring because with the spring also comes the ALLERGY season. Last year was particularly a strong pollen season and my body sensed it very effectively. I had been avoiding prescription medication as much as possible but last spring I was forced by the strong symptoms to take Claritin. And yes it relieved me of the allergy symptoms but also produced strong side effects. I couldn’t sleep and as a result of that I couldn’t rest and my body was falling apart. At that time, my husband and I discussed his acupuncture treatments from a few years ago. I decided that it was time to find a different path for a solution to my allergy. I had spotted an ad in the local newspaper for acupuncture treatment at Holmdel Acupuncture & Natural Medicine Center. I made an appointment even though I was very concerned about how painful the needles might be. That day during the spring of 2002 was my lucky day. After the first treatment that was anything but painful, I didn’t have to take Claritin anymore. The second treatment brought complete recovery to my life. After this “miracle” I decided that my body deserves the treatment of acupuncture to recover from the years of stress and imbalance that I had suffered. I go once a week and every time I feel I am reborn after my acupuncture session. I now look forward to my treatments that are so important to keep my body in balance.

Arthritis

I saw an article in the newspaper about Holmdel Acupuncture and Natural Medicine Center and I figured since I had nothing to lose and that I would give it a try. I have been receiving acupuncture treatments for about two months and have felt better than I have in years. I owe it all to Liping Wang.

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments for about two months and have felt better than I have in years. I owe it all to Liping Wang. In such a short time I have experienced not only longer periods of relief from pain but a renewed energy and greater mobility. Friends and family have also noticed a big difference in my appearance, movement and attitude. I recommend acupuncture wholeheartedly to anyone in a similar situation.

Gastrointestinal

I sought acupuncture after more than 40 years of digestion problems that traditional medicine had not been able to remedy.

I had regular bouts of diarrhea, profuse gas, and a very weak and ‘nervous’ intestine. For the previous 5 years, I had followed a careful balanced diet that helped a little but did not take care of the diarrhea. The effects of acupuncture were dramatic. After a few sessions, my digestion rapidly improved to a level that I had never experienced before (no diarrhea and no gas at all), and my energy level was greatly enhanced, particularly in the afternoons.”

Brain Tumor

I must begin with sharing my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Liping for the finest care and attention she has given me from the onset. Please share all my thoughts with anyone questioning the value of acupuncture.

Please share all my thoughts with anyone questioning the value of acupuncture. In the beginning, I did not have much faith that acupuncture would benefit me. I have such a major health issue that I was convinced that not too much could help me. All was changed and my opinion is quite different now. I profess that if it were not for my neuro‑oncologist and Liping focusing on my health I would not be here to talk about it.

My illness is a rare terminal brain cancer and after all the normal cancer routes are taken there is not much more to do for help or life for this. I first met with Liping one year and eight months ago and have been blessed ever since. The acupuncture therapy has strengthened my immune system that had drastically fallen from radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I stand very strongly to recommend this to others with health issues. Quite frankly, just the positive mental exposure from Liping would build the wellness that is so needed when circumstances get negative.

In conclusion, my thanks and gratitude go to Liping, tenfold. I believe that acupuncture is very serious and a necessary holistic action to use for improving, maintaining and curing health issues that many of us experience. Liping has given positive attention to my family and all my friends I have recommended to her. It’s rare to discover perfection and I think I have. Liping definitely is a blessing to me. I thank God for bringing me to her.

Your Acupuncture Questions, Answered

Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, self-esteem, and more.

What is involved in the initial visit?

When you come to your initial consultation with us, the practitioner on that day will conduct an extensive interview with you where he or she will go over your medical history, your diet, lifestyle etc. He or she will tell you if we can help you or not and explain to you how we can help you. You will then be taken to one of our treatment rooms where the practitioner will carefully take your pulse, check your tongue, and palpate your abdomen if necessary. More questions related to your body’s energy system might be asked before a comprehensive Oriental medical diagnosis is derived. The diagnosis would always indicate a disharmony or blockage of energy in certain meridians or organs.

Then a few disposable stainless and painless needles will be gently inserted to a group of acupuncture points to restore the balance and smooth flow of energy. The needles will be left in the body for about 25–30 minutes before they are removed. Majority of our patients fall asleep during this time. We call this a “healing nap” because you will feel better after the session is over!

You should wear comfortable loose fitting clothes.

Many conditions may be alleviated very rapidly by acupuncture and Oriental medicine. You should get some relief even after the first treatment. In addition to the relief of symptoms, many of our patients have reported increased energy, less stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and improved sense of well being.

The number of treatments needed depends on the complexity of your illness, whether it’s a chronic or recent condition, and your general state of health. For example, you may need only one treatment if you pulled your muscle recently. Whereas for a long standing, chronic illness you may need treatments once or twice a week for a few weeks to get a lot of relief.

We only use the best quality needles available. They are made in Japan and they are very fine and flexible, about the same diameter as human hair. Plus we are specially trained on needle insertion, you don’t feel the needle go in your body at all. We also have a handful of kids from as little as 5 year old to as big as 18 year old come for treatment on regular basis. They never complain about the needles. That should give you a pretty good idea about our skills.

In the hands of a well‑trained acupuncturist, your safety is assured. We use individually packed sterile needles and dispose them after each patient so that there is no chance of contamination.

Acupuncture has been recognized by medical professionals to be effective for pain relief, post‑surgery and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting. In 1996, the National Institute of Health recognized that acupuncture can be a helpful part of a treatment plan for many illnesses, such as addiction, asthma, bronchitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, facial tics, headaches, irregular period, menopausal symptoms, menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis, sciatica, sinusitis, spastic colon, stroke rehabilitation, tendinitis, tennis elbow, and urinary problems etc.

Acupuncture can be safely combined with prescription medicines and other forms of treatments. But we recommend you to tell your primary care physician about the treatments so he or she can monitor your condition.

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is a complex form of medicine that has been practiced in China for over three thousand years. It definitely takes at least three to four years (full time) of schooling and hundreds of treatments at a clinic or hospital before someone can master the knowledge and skill. In order for a practitioner to be well qualified, he or she must have a state license, be well trained, have sufficient clinical experience. And above all, he or she needs to have good healing energy.
