Vertigo

"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 am a 55 year old man with a history of Meniere's disease for four years. I had a severe vertigo one year ago and prior to that has tinnitus and loss of hearing. A CAT scan was reportedly negtive. I have a sister in Florida with
similiar condition. I was treated by an ENT specialist with Antivert as needed up to three times a day, Allegra once a day and Hydrochlorothiazide once a day. They helped and was worse in terms of vertigo off of them. The worst time when I was driving in the highway, have to be stopped in the roadside for an hour and tolerated the big truck passing by to be able to drive back home later. Due to the effect of the medication is not good as in the beginning also plus the concerns of the side effects of the medication. I decided to find a alternative treatment. Through the website of Tao's Acupuncture, I decided to give Dr. Tao a try. He suggested stop all the medicine from what I taken, used hispatent's Chinese herbal medicine begins with 3 times a week for acupuncture
treatment then gradually down to once a week. For the past month, my vertigo with ear pressure and dizziness already completely gone, just left some ear ringing which is not bothered me as before. I believe from the time going, my tinnitus shall also could finally get rid of it. Thank you, Dr.Tao!"

"I am a 33 year old man with cerebral palsy since early childhood with allergies since age 28. My allergy symptoms indluce sneezing, rhinorrhea, sinus headaches, cough and eustachian tube congestion which sometimes could cause my earache and ear pressure increased. I was unable to tolerate allergy injections, even in low dose could cause me coughing in an hour later. I am going for acupuncture treatment for my vertigo, and one of the treatment could last up to 10 days and another for 30 days, the other symptom of my coughing, asthma, wheezing and sinus congestion and headache, depresstion also greatly improved and under a good control. The medication to use for inhaled steroid also reduced. I feel I am getting more healthy and will follow up my additional regular visits to control my complex symptom.Thank you, Dr. Tao!"
