To Dr. Baoping Li’s Current and Prospective Patients:
When asked by Doctor’s staff to write a few words, I said a big yes! Here we go.
I have been a patient of Dr. Li since 2007. I have had excellent results from Dr. Li’s treatment. This was not the case prior to 2007. Most of my life I have gone to traditional health care professionals. I have been treated for acute sinuses since 1989, by an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. I experienced poor results. The treatment has been limited to: anti-antibiotics. In 2007, I was referred to Dr Li. The doctor I was seeing, as a last resort, proposed evasive surgery with a 50% success rate. I said no thank-you, I am going to try acupuncture.
When I began seeing Dr. Li, I experienced immediate results; favorable results. I saw it as nothing short of a miracle. Prior to 2007, I would get 4-5 sinus infections per year. I would lose on average, 12-15 days per year to recover enough to work. Since I have been seeing Dr. Li, I have not had one sinus infection; I have not miss one day of work.
There are other success stories. I referred my friend Tom. He has a work related shoulder. After 4-6 months of physical therapy, without any improvement, do you know what his specialist suggested? Surgery. When Tom told me he was scheduled for shoulder surgery, I referred him to Dr. Li. After 2-4 weeks of treatment, Tom was pain free, with a 95% range of motion. In addition, he is off of prescription pain medication. There are others I have referred, with positive results.
I am not a medical person, but I believe acupuncture treats the causes, not the symptoms. I have read, 60% of surgery’s, use diagnostic imagining as a tool to determine whether or not to recommend surgery. The problem with this diagnostic tool is; soft tissue injuries rarely show up; i.e. painful scar tissue that forms around the injury. This simply means, surgeries treat the symptoms while acupuncture or chiropractic treatment treat the causes. Again, I have no medical training. I am simply a consumer of both traditional medical care and alternative treatment. This is my experience as a non-medical professional. You must make your own decisions base on the best possible information available.
Today, I choose to spend my consumer dollars on alternative health care; i.e. acupuncture. I believe in acupuncture; I believe in Dr. Li. Why? It works; and it often times works quickly.
“Good night and good luck.”
