At the age of 23, I was diagnosed with major depressive and anxiety disorder after suffering for 10 years. Not surprisingly, the quick-fix prescription drug solution was offered to be my only way out of my misery. Hesitantly, I accepted the treatment plan only to learn later that the harmful effects from the anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs far outweighed any benefits I was receiving. After several months of attempting the prescription treatment plan I was ready to give up. I felt like a lost cause and thought nothing would work to help me get my life back without putting my health at risk. My personality remained dull, melancholy, and virtually lifeless; I was not a person people enjoyed being around, and that tore me apart even more. Fate stepped in when a close friend of mine witnessed my suffering and highly suggested I go and see her Acupuncturist, Dr. Henry Li. After doing further research online and listening to my friend’s story on how Dr. Li significantly changed her life for the better, I made one of the best decisions of my life and called to schedule my first appointment. I have never met a more sincere and compassionate Doctor than Dr. Li. He strongly reassured me that he could help me and would eventually work towards weaning me off all the harmful prescription drugs. My first treatment I felt immediate relief from anxiety as a surge of relaxation rushed through my body during the treatment, leaving me feeling less anxious for days.

I began seeing Dr. Li for chronic insomnia that I have struggled with for four years. I also needed help dealing with stress and anxiety. I have tried numerous sleeping aids and nothing has really helped my insomnia. My goal was to figure out the cause of my insomnia and get off drugs that are not very effective. After my first treatment, I felt so relaxed and stress free. After my second treatment, I was sleeping so much better and felt much less anxiety than I had in quite a while. I was actually dreaming and sleeping for longer periods of time without waking up. After a few more treatments, if I do wake up I am able to get back to sleep without laying in bed awake for hours.The treatments are really helping me deal with the stress of everyday life. I did not expect to feel so much better mentally and have been pleasantly surprised by what acupuncture can do. Seeing Dr. Li has made such a positive impact on my life in so many ways. I was struggling with anxiety and rage issues that were causing me to become a negative person. I really can not stress enough how much acupuncture has changed my outlook on life. I feel like I am again the positive, happy person I used to be. In addition to treating my insomnia and anxiety, Dr. Li has also treated me for acid reflux, allergies, and hormone imbalance, with positive results after the first treatment. I plan on seeing Dr. Li for years to come.

I have been going to Dr. Li for over a year and he has helped me tremendously with a number of health issues. I started with a knee problem that had been bothering me for months, and after a few treatments with Dr. Li, I haven’t had problems with my knee since then. I have referred other family member’s as well and they too visit Dr. Li regularly. He has even helped with insomnia issues. I’m very happy with the treatments that LifeCare Acupuncture has provided and will continue visits to the clinic.
