Chen's Acupuncture Chinese Medicine Los Angeles Torrance Acupuncturist

Infertility/Gynecologic disorders

*I am 36 years and have married for 11 years. After I finished my graduate school, my husband and I realized that we should have a baby. We had tried for almost 4 years and found it was so difficult to conceive. A friend of mine suggested me try acupuncture since her sister-in-law (who is about my age) just got a healthy baby boy 2 months ago through the help of acupuncture treatments. From website I found Dr. Chen's clinic and started acupuncture and herbal treatments. Over 6 weeks treatment I got pregnant and my pregnancy appears to be very healthy! I really enjoyed each treatment session with Dr. Chen and would like to recommend Dr. Chen to those who may experience the difficulty of becoming pregnant. -- Lisa J.----- Lomita

*"After 4 miscarriages, I started seeing your help when I was pregnant for the 5th time and threatening miscarriage. I honestly believe acupuncture saved my pregnancy. My sweet daughter was born a little over a month ago. The pregnancy was not an easy one, but I doubt we would have made it without your treatments. I have recommended Dr. Chen's Chinese herbs and acupuncture therapy to anyone and everyone who will listen. Thank you for everything, you are literally a life saver!!" -- Nina, H.----- San Pedro

*I started seeing Dr. Chen when I found out my husband and I were going to be doing IVF. Dr. Chen performed acupuncture treatments on me as well as gave me advice on how to alter my lifestyle and nutrition to increase my chances at getting pregnant. After following him advice and having weekly acupuncture treatments, I am pregnant after our second IVF cycle. I would highly recommend Ming Chen to anyone that is thinking about acupuncture and herbs for fertility or for any other kind of treatment.

*"My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year. My cycles were very irregular. Even though my ob/gyn said I was okay and my husband's sperm was okay, we were still not getting pregnant! I decided to visit Dr. Ming Chen after my friend told me that acupuncture and Chinese herb helped with fertility. I was ready to try everything else before going through any medical procedures. After the first two weeks of acupuncture and herbal teas treatments, my cycle became regular. And to my surprise, after just six treatments, I was pregnant!! M. Chen is great...very patient, kind, and understanding! I would recommend anyone who is having difficulty getting pregnant to go to M.Chen "

*I have suffered two miscarriages before I came to see Dr. Chen. I decided to visit Dr. Chen because one of my friends had very good experience at his clinic. My friend was right. After three month of herb and acupuncture treatment, I got pregnant again. And this time everything went perfectly. Now my baby is 3 month old already. Great thanks to Dr. Chen. -

* I was diagnosed with a large cyst on my right ovary and the OB/GYN prescribed birth control pills, the most common treatment for this condition. However, I felt like just another patient, simply processed, with my unique concerns unacknowledged. I discovered that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) held a different perspective. Instead of gynecological, ovarian cysts are a symptom of liver stasis, which can be treated with Acupuncture. After reading the testimonials on Dr Chen's Acupuncture and Herbal Therapy website, I felt that this clinic was a good match for me. From our first meeting, Dr. Chen expressed a genuine interest in me as an individual and listened to my specific concerns. I believe that his patience, caring, and gifted TCM skills helped heal me. After one month of acupuncture treatment (six sessions) and daily herbal tea, I returned to the OB/GYN office for my scheduled sonogram to monitor the size of the ovarian cyst after its diagnosis six weeks earlier. The OB/GYN office was amazed - the large ovarian cyst had shrunk completely and quickly.

Uterus fibroid/ovarian cyst
TESTIMONIAL FOR DR. CHEN

* When I first came to see Dr. Chen in July, 2005, I had a "seroma" which is fluid or serum that has accumulated in a dead space in the body. On a sonogram the seroma looked like a 14 cm cyst! As a result of abdominal surgery I had in December of 2004, so much fluid had accumulated in my abdomen that it had pushed my uterus forward and to the left side of my body.

I also had a fibroid in my uterus that you could feel if you ran your hands across my stomach. It sat a good inch to the left of my belly button and was very hard to the touch. Dr. Chen suggested I come for acupuncture treatments twice a week for 5 weeks. I was also taking an herbal formula twice a day, 7 days a week. Within that short time period my fibroid got softer and the seroma began to shrink. I could actually feel my uterus slowly moving back toward the center of my body with my hands.

At the end of the first series of treatments I felt so encouraged by the progress we'd made that I signed up for a second series with Dr. Chen. Halfway through it, the fibroid disappeared altogether! My stomach was suddenly soft all over and you couldn't feel my uterus anymore. (After years of trying to have a "hard body" stomach I was suddenly overjoyed that it was soft and squishy.) The fluid that had been filling my abdomen had begun to be reabsorbed into my body.

Although I haven't had a second sonogram yet to tell my how much smaller the "cyst" has become, the change in what I can actually feel with my hands is enough to convince me that the fertility specialist who told my that acupuncture "wouldn't make a bit of difference in reducing the size of the cyst" could not have been more mistaken!

Acne

* I have been suffering from acne all through my teenage years. I recently moved to U.S. and my problem exacerbated. None of the over the counter medicines - like proactive, nuetrogena, etc. worked. I was looking for a holistic treatment for my problem and would consider myself fortunate that I found Dr. Chen. Dr Yang. After 4 treatments, my face improved and by the end of 8 treatments, I can say that my acne was cured by 90%. My stress level also went down and I feel much more relaxed and calm now. Besides the treatment, Dr. Chen is also a great friend and advisor and he heals at a spiritual level as well, advising behavioral changes to hasten the results. In all, I highly recommend the treatment at Dr Chen's clinic.

* I developed moderate acne at the age of 19 and I tried every prescription cream, antibiotics, birth control, and even Accutane in an effort to alleviate my condition. None of these medications helped instead they dried up the oil in my skin and so on top of my acne I developed red and itchy skin. I sought treatment from Dr. Yang because I wanted a natural and holistic treatment. I noticed significant results after two weeks of treatment and the redness and persistent itching I had experienced for months was completely gone. Now if I get a pimple it is very small and goes away in about two days whereas before Dr. Yangs treatment I would get deep cysts that took about 2 weeks to completely heal. I also noticed that I am less anxious and have better concentration than before undergoing treatment. Dr. Yang is a true healer, she has excellent bedside manners and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her treatments to people suffering with acne.

* I have had acne for years since I was a teenager. I started taking a medication called Tetracycline over a year ago and didn't like the fact of taking medicine everyday to make my skin somewhat clear. Yes my skin was clearer than it usually was by taking the medicine but I still had breakouts and wanted to live a more natural life without medication. Over Mother's Day weekend of 2004 I had a really bad breakout so bad that my face hurt and becoming extremely painful due to the large nodules on my face, neck, and jaw region. I started seeing Dr. Yang May 29, 2004 and by August my skin was completely clear with no blemishes at all. I have never had pretty skin and when my co workers, friends, and family noticed the difference in my skin and made comments on how good my skin looked. I couldn't believe the outcome of the treatments I had received from Dr. Yang. I have tried everything to make my skin clear and pretty much nothing worked but I can tell you after Dr. Yang's help all I use now is Dove sensitive skin bar soap to wash my face every morning and night and use alcohol as a toner and my skin is beautiful!!! Of course as Dr. Yang will tell you it won't work overnight but you have to give it a chance to see results and believe me it is worth the wait!! Thank You Dr. Yang.

* I have suffered from full acne on my face for more than one year. I have seen the dermatologist and tried many remedies without success. Finally, I came to Dr. Chen who thought my problem is caused by the inner heat, especially in the stomach, since I tend to have rich and tasty food. Besides using herb mask for the face, Dr.Chen also treated my inner body with acupuncture and herb tea. After four weeks' treatment, the acne has gone down by 95 percent.

Pain

* Dr. Lu x. Yang is a caring person dedicated to improving the health of her patients. I suffer from spinal stenosis. I had taken injections for pain with modest to no improvement. A colleague referred me to DrYang I began treatment in Nov.2003. At that time I could not walk more than 30 Yards without having to stop and rest my back. I found it difficult to stand straight and the only position that I could tolerate without pain for any period of time was sitting. I have experienced a significant improvement in the quality of life from the acupuncture treatments. The treatment has not cured my medical problem and I still have some limitations but the pain that accompanies my condition has been significantly reduced allowing me to assume a more normal life. I can currently exercise for over an hour on a treadmill walking about 5 miles a day. I have received numerous comments from friends about the improvement in my physical appearance since I began treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Yang."

* "As a new year's resolution I wanted to lose the extra weight that I had gained over the past ten years. I knew that deprivation diets didn't work for me and wanted to try a new approach. I found Dr. Chen,s acupuncture on the Internet and had my first session with Dr. Chen on December 29th. With acupucture treatment, herbal tea, and her consistently supportive regard for my health, Dr. Chen helped me lose sixty pounds over nine months. More than just a skilled practitioner, Dr. Chen is a warm and caring person who made me look forward to our weekly sessions. I have regained my good health thanks to his care." --Magreta, Engineer-----Lomita

* "I have experienced a very high anxiety and stress level over the last few years due to working full time and going to school in the evenings. It was extremely difficult to manage the high-stress and it was taking a toll on my mind and body. My wife told me about Dr. Chen and his acupuncture treatment so I decided it was a great idea. Dr. Chen began treating me in November of 2005 and his treatment and keen insight have become instrumental in dealing with my condition. I am now more focused, balanced and very satisfied with how things have worked out for me. I would recommend Dr. Chen for acupuncture treatment.----Tifferny, P----- San Pedro

* After only 2 treatments of acupuncture, the pain in my neck, back and right leg have been relieved. I wasn't sure if it would work, but I'm sold!
Also, after only 1 treatment for weight loss, I lost 2 pounds!

Thank you!
