Acupuncture helps with appendectomy



Steve, his wife and daughter first came to Great Wall Chinese Medicine of Scottsdale three years ago. The family was in hopes of finding pain relief and recovery from an appendectomy. They knew that excessive pain medications would be prescribed but wanted to avoid them due to the adverse effects on children's health. After 3 acupuncture treatments, their daughter stopped using pain medications, regained her strength and recovered quickly. A few years later, their eldest daughter had unfortunately experienced the same appendectomy and the family decided to visit Dr. Xiao again. So many times, at GWCM, we are able to treat a patient in order to prevent surgeries such as this. In this case we are thankful of the amazing results their two children have experienced. The entire family strongly believe in the effects of Chinese medicine. Steve, a manager at a local Starbucks and his wife, a teacher’s assistant knew that the costs would be an out of pocket expense, and not covered by insurance but state that this is an affordable and effective treatment for all income levels. As always, Dr. Xiao and her team have gone above and beyond to help these children. Thank you to Steve and his family for their support.

针灸八次治愈20年的听力障碍


Paige Griffin是长城中医院的一位病人,她自婴儿时期一直饱受听力问题的困扰,7岁时被确诊听力损伤。作为一名学生运动员,她没办法听到完整的句子,也没办法在嘈杂的环境下与人正常交流。她接受过多次手术治疗,但听力状况并没有得到改善,所以她决定来长城中医院接受中医针灸治疗。她完成第一次针灸治疗后感觉治疗过程跟她原先想的可怕状态完全不同,整个治疗过程非常轻松舒适。在经过大约9次治疗后她的听力能力大幅提高。现在的她看电视时不得不把声音调小,因为以往她使用的音量现在对她来说太大了。她现在也能在嘈杂的环境下跟人正常交流了。她表示来长城中医院接受治疗前,她的耳朵里仿佛有一个塞子阻止她听到一切声音。接受治疗后她感觉这个塞子被拔掉了,各种各样的声音重新回到了她的世界。她十分感谢长城中医院的工作人员,也非常享受在长城中医院轻松愉快的治疗环境,所以经常向自己的朋友推荐长城中医院。因为这里的治疗极大的改善了她的听力状况,也让她的生活发生了翻天覆地的改变。

8 sessions Acupuncture helps with 20 years hearing loss



Paige Griffin, a patient at Great Wall Chinese Medicine (GWCM), was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of seven, but has been dealing with struggles of hearing loss since she was an infant. She has undergone numerous surgeries with none of them having a significant impact on her hearing. Going forward, as a student and athlete, Paige’s life has been severely impacted.  Not being able to hear full sentences or even at all in loud settings has been very challenging to say the least. Her first time doing acupuncture was a very relaxing and peaceful experience which is different from the intimidating environment she was picturing before coming. After about 9 treatments her hearing began to improve tremendously, and can now hear more than she has ever heard in her entire life. At home she has had to lower the TV or radio volume because it was too loud.  Paige is also now able to hear others talk while in groups with loud background noise. Previous to treatments, she felt like there was a block in her ears that has now been lifted, allowing the noises around her to be fully heard. She loves the staff at GWCM and how uplifting and exciting the environment is for patients improvement and well being. Ultimately Paige recommends Acupuncture to others because of how much it has impacted her life. She can now hear more than ever before and her life has been improved tremendously.
