Migraine

Believe it or not, the following patient, just one visit already relieved her most pain in 2 years. She thanks me with her tears in eyes. She also tell me that she even tried another famous acupuncture clinic in our area without get help even.

Dear Dr. Tao,

I am desperate. Due to a head injury almost two years ago, in which I hit my head and dissected my right carotid artery (since healed), I have suffered acute migraines daily. My pain is semi-managed by Neurontin, Fioricet, and a lot of Motrin, but at times is nearly unbearable.
I am a 55-year old teacher, and I cannot imagine living my life this way forever. I was about to contact a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, when I realized that pressure on my face and head helps to relieve the severe pain. I went onto the Internet and found you. Do you think you can you help me?

> Sincerely and hopefully,
Mrs. Cohen

"I have had migraine headaches since I was a child. As an adult, I began to also experience sinus problems, nasal allergies, dizziness, ear congestion, tinnitus and TMJ. By the time I first went to Dr. Tao, my dizziness was so bad I could barely turn my head without taking a spin. I had also been having chronic headaches every day.

I was grateful that Dr. Tao is very gentle with his patients, since I have a fear of needles. He also made special accommodations for me because my dizziness made me feel like I was falling off the patient table.

I began to see improvement after just a few weeks of acupuncture and herb treatments. My dizziness has been greatly reduced, and I no longer have daily headaches. My tinnitus has improved so much that I rarely notice it anymore. There has also been much improvement with my sinus problems, nasal allergies, ear congestion and TMJ. Each successive treatment seems to bring more relief.

Unlike many other doctors, Dr. Tao didn't focus on just one of my conditions. He realized some of them are related and treated the whole person."

"I had migraines for 42 years. The pain always started inside my eyeballs and spread outward. I have seen countless MD's, DO's, Neurologists, 3 Chiropractors, 2 eye doctors, and spent one week in a clinic. All possible tests have been done on me. None of them seemed to cure me, except to load me full of pain killers. After 15 visits to Dr. Tao, I am able to go one month sometimes without a headache and pain killers. I am certain acupuncture has decreased the frequency by 90%. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone who has tried all types of pain relief and still has pain."

"I am 49 years old and have been suffering from migraine headaches for 43 years. My symptoms progressively got worse, and have included excruciating headaches, vomiting, double vision, tunnel vision, and bewilderment. I have received little or no relief while under the care of neurologist and neurologist. I have been under numerous medications and went to the emergency room several times searching for relief by injections administered by a doctor. However, NOTHING helped beyond temporary relief. Chung-Hu Tao has extreme patience and compassion, and made me completely comfortable and satisfied as his patient. He listens to my concerns and understands them. I am very happy with the results and am living a better life today."
