Emotional Disorder:

I came for acupuncture to treat my anxiety. I had been on Elavil for anxiety all through out college. It worked for quite a while. I then tried paxel – but had side-affected everyday like nausea and vomiting. I wanted to try a treatment that didn’t give me such great side effects and foremost, I didn’t want to have to take a pill for the rest of my life.

After my first acupuncture treatment with Lydia, you could say I was “ hooked ”. The first treatment made me feel relaxed in a way I have never felt before while at the same time I felt so energized that if I had to run a marathon, I felt as if I could. The heart palpitation that accompanied my anxiety is gone and my chronic fatigue and irritable bowel are noticeably better after an acupuncture treatment. I feel better overall as a result of acupuncture.

I have worked with Lydia multiple times in a six-year period. I used to suffer from sinus infections twice a year, and since receiving acupuncture to address the issue, I have literally had two infections in the past six years. Lydia has also helped me tremendously with mood and anxiety issues, as well. Lydia is wonderful, and side from being good at her craft, she puts patient at ease with her warm demeanor.

Through many years of a stressful marriage and work the culmination of anxiety and depression was at an overwhelming point. I was set on finding an alternative to medication and my search took me towards acupuncture. My initial internet search brought me to Lydia Liu. In our initial office visit I found a connection already with her in such a short time with her insights into my issues right on the mark and her personality was so warm and inviting.

Her acupuncture treatment has helped me get through the hard times. I hope to be on my way to a more peaceful life but just in case I still enjoy my visits to Lydia. She continually works at improving her methods and knowledge with seminars and conferences on acupuncture with leaders in the specialty.

I have recommended many to her practice and they also have continued seeing her. I value her conversation and words of encouragement but her enjoyment to helping people really stands out.

Asthma/Allergy:

My name is Ted. I used to take a great deal of allergy medications for allergies. I took pills year round and added nasal sprays during peak seasons. Several years ago, I became concerned about heavy use of allergy medications ( any medication, for that matter ) and decided to give acupuncture a try as an alternative. Within a short period of time… as on just a few months… I stopped taking allergy medications. I have continued with regular acupuncture treatments from Lydia and only occasionally use nasal sprays during peak season. As an added bonus, I seem to rarely get a cold.

—Ted

My mane is Winnifer, Dr. Lydia Liu is highly recommended for the acupuncture method. My allergy and asthma had been greatly improved since I started treatment with Dr. Liu.

Auto Immune Disorder:

My name is Laura L. I am very fortunate to have Lydia. Prior to seeing Lydia, I had tried two acupuncturists who were trained in New England, and I must say that, while they were helpful, I feel that the amount of insight and ability that Lydia possesses is significantly greater. I feel that she has a great deal of knowledge and is continually educating herself further with new approaches towards her practice.

I initially went to Lydia for different autoimmune problems. I have been seeing her for about three years. In this time, she treated me for eczema, and now, remarkably, I have little if any symptoms. Lydia has also treated me for ulcerative colitis and has brought me a great deal of relief. I must say that the most beneficial thing about seeing her is that, since I visit regularly, she knows and understands my health history. So, whereas I see my doctor only sporadically, becasuse i see Lydia often, she is able to track my health issues and any progress or set-backs I may have, and then treat them accordingly. It has been so reassuring to me to know that I have a practitioner who can offer me advice and opinions in regards to my health. since it is always so difficult to get in touch with my doctors.

Regardless of what your health issue may be, I highly recommend you visit her to see how much better she will make you fell and how well she will take care of you.

Headache:

After many years of migraine headache cycles and multiple forms of treatment acupuncture with Lydia Liu has essentially eliminated migraine recurrence.
Lydia is very thorough and skilled as an acupuncturist. She has a remarkable ability to identify blocked meridians. Her treatments are incredibly relaxing. Oftentimes inducing a dream like state. No mater how wound-up or stressed I am, I always leave feeling well rested and relaxed.
Thank you Lydia!

I have been a migraine sufferer form the age of thirteen. I have been to many doctors and neurologists seeking some relief form the pain. I was prescribed medication that made me feel drowsy and lethargic. I decided to try acupuncture. I have never felt better! The frequency of my migraines has decreased as well as the severity. I have many months that are migraines free! Thanks, Lydia.

Infertility:

I am a 39 year old woman and have been Lydia’s patient for 6 months. I decided to try acupuncture while undergoing IVF treatments. Lydia is very professional and knowledgeable. The weekly appointments helped with the IVF and also to relieve some of the stress of undergoing the treatments. She also helped my neck pain with cupping and helped improve my insomnia. The treatments are very calming and relaxing. Although my first IVF treatment didn’t work, I continued the weekly acupuncture treatments and became pregnant after the second IVF round of treatment. Since then, I continue to see Lydia once a week to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Acupuncture helps the nausea, aches and discomfort of early pregnancy. I highly recommend American Chinese Medical Center, especially Lydia, to anyone undergoing IVF or any other medical condition.

I’ve been going to Lydia for treatment with infertility for about two years. From our first meeting, Lydia made me feel welcome in her practice. She carefully reviewed my medical history and took the time to explain the role of acupuncture and how it can be an adjunct to Western medicine. She is very knowledgable in all aspects of medicine, both Eastern and Western, and keeps up with all the latest developments in her specialty. Perhaps most importantly, she is a genuinely warm and caring person who has supported me throughout my treatment. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone who’s looking for a great acupuncturist.

Insomnia:

My name is C. Acupuncture has vastly improved the quality of my life. I have suffered from debilitating allergies and a chronic sleep disorder for as long as I can remember. I’ve consulted with many doctors and specialists over the years. But received very little relief, being told time and again that these problems was just something I would have to learn to live with. How wrong they all were! Thanks to Lydia’s unparalleled skills as an acupuncturist, I can breathe more freely and ma sleeping better than I ever have before.

—C.

I have been a patient of Lydia’s for several years. My problems are insomnia and menstrual disorders. I have been having acupuncture for over 5 years and used many acupuncturists in that time. I have been happy with Lydia because she tends to treat with a Chinese Medicine perspective, which in line with my thinking and I got a wonderful result.

—Anonymous

Lydia’s sessions leave me feeling more refreshed and energized- I also find over the weeks I have been receiving acupuncture from Lydia that I have been sleeping much better.

Overweight:

My mane is Hongbin Bi. I always have this over weight problem. In the summer, I got 20 lbs more weight in 5 weeks and I tried everything to lose it. Sadly, none of the weight loss methods I tried worked. Two weeks ago, Dr. Liu told me to try this weight loss laser treatment, once a week, for four weeks. I said ok, and I lost 4 lbs in the first week after the 1st treatment, and lost 3 lbs in the second week. I have never seen a weight loss program that’s this easy, this effective. Every treatment is only about 2-3 minute, and that’s it. Now, I only eat ½ of what I was to eat. I didn’t do anything else like excise at all. This is the greatest weight loss treatment ever. My email address is dhbiscreen@aol.com. If you want to know more how did I lose 7 lbs, please feel free to contact me.

Pain:

For the past 3 years, Lydia has been treating my chronic arthritis pain. The acupuncture treatments significantly reduce the pain, and they also improve my overall health and well-being. I always look forward to my monthly treatments.

I suffered a fall accident six months ago and hurt my shoulder really bad. I could not lie on that side for months because of pain. I had treatment at a chiropractic physician for months. It helped very little. My doctor Lydia. Liu helped me with acupuncture in my right foot with just four needles. I had no pain in my left shoulder almost instantly. I have no pain since that time. If you have pain and would like to try acupuncture, try it with Dr. Liu. He is the best. It is like a miracle what he can do with acupuncture.

My name is Allen B. I have been seeing Lydia every month for a few years. I started because of shoulder injury and sinusitis. The acupuncture was very effective in helping the injury heal. The sinusitis has improved a lot. I am very pleased with Lydia’s treatments. Most of all though, the acupuncture has been very relaxing and a great stress reliever.

My name is A. I initially saw Lydia for knee pain and loss of mobility. I had been told that knee replacement was my only remedy. More than two years later, I have significant increase in function and pain relief and no surgery. If you should happen to have a headache, give Lydia five minutes and it is gone, painlessly and no side effects. She is a life saver.

My husband and I have been going to Lydia for 3 years. She has become an integral part of our healthcare. At first, I saw Lydia for a broken elbow  and my husband followed shortly after for help with his lower back pain. In the past three years, we have seen her for a variety of health issues including type 1 diabetes, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, plantar fascitis, and menopause conditions such as hot flashes. Lydia treats each ailment, ache, or pain with great care and understanding. We always feel relaxed and stress free after seeing Lydia! Her warmth and generosity are unparalleled.

Sinus:

I have been a patient of Lydia for 4 years since 2007. The reason why I started acupuncture treatment was due to a sinus infections post nasal drips, and felt weakness and fatigue.

I had tried all kinds of specialists and no one could help me. These symptoms lasted on and off for four years. I began having a treatment with Lydia once a week and now going to see Lydia once every other week. Also Lydia suggested me to use a nasal irrigator daily. She takes a lot of time with me and treats me very thoroughly. She treats me for other symptoms too.

Lydia always takes me right on time and makes me feel relax after the treatments. The Chinese herbs she uses on my body are wonderful for any kinds of body pain. I highly recommend her.

Her acupuncture is very relaxing and helps with stress and blood pressure. I am very satisfied with her treatment.
