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.
