Neck Pain Relief With Acupuncture Treatment

I can’t say enough good about Dr Steven. I had terrible vertigo that I was battling for months. I had tried everything. Regular doctors, chiropractic, physical therapy. Nothing worked. It was so frustrating. A friend referred me to Dr Steven and within a few sessions my symptoms started to improve! I kept going and sure enough he was able to help me get rid of that terrible vertigo. I have decided to keep visiting him as the overall wellness I feel is so much better. I can’t recommend him enough.

I came in because I had mono, doctors and nurses at urgent weren’t doing anything but right from the first treatment I felt amazing relief. I have a lot more energy then before and the other symptoms went away very quickly. I would recommend this place for anyone.

I came to Complete Oriental Medical Care to get help with a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I had severe pain in my shoulder and numbness in my hand. I sought help from my clinic and the clinic doctor provided steroids and muscle relaxants. These medications provided some relief but left me groggy and unable to work effectively. The pain also made it difficult to get restful sleep. I was a ball of pain and feeling like a zombie. I decided to seek acupuncture to get relief without the hard medicine. The acupuncture provided by Steven has been incredible. With the first treatment I felt relief. Within a few weeks my pain substantially subsided and I felt human again. With the addition of the Chinese herbs I also aches a restful and regular nightly slumber without the sluggish feeling. Steven is absolutely an expert acupuncturist. He designs a care plan specifically to the needs of each patient. I couldn’t be happier with my results.

Dr Sonmore and Naijin have been incredibly helpful in facilitating my healing journey. I have been struggling with ice pick headaches, nausea, and BFS (Benign Fasiculation Syndrome). Western medicine has not proven to be particularly helpful. Dr Sonmore was the first Dr to actually give me a diagnosis and create a plan for healing. Naijin is always friendly, supportive and flexible with getting me in to see Dr Sonmore. I highly recommend this practice!! Many thanks and deepest gratitude to both Dr Sonmore and Naijin!

My elderly mother was diagnosed with advanced dementia back in 2015. The deterioration continued until by the end of 2018, she was losing motor control and in Jan 2019 had a bad fall and hit her head. We had no choice but to move her into a nursing home in March 2019, as we could no longer care for her at home. She was almost fully unresponsive, in a high-backed wheelchair because she could not support her own head, on oxygen 24/7, had to be transferred between bed and wheelchair with an automated lift, could not feed herself, and had to be put on thickened liquids and pureed food because she was losing her ability to chew and swallow. Steven Sonmore started treating her in the nursing home in mid-March. After two sessions, to our surprise, she responded to simple questions with one- or two-word answers. Over the subsequent weeks, she started to occasionally proactively ask about family members and was able to maintain short back-and-forths about a given topic. One of the nurses said she almost cried when one day my mother noticed and commented on how pretty her necklace was. In May, my mother was taken off of daytime oxygen. Physical Therapy signed her out of their services because she was now so mobile that she could stand up and sit down on her own and walk 75 ft. with a walker; there was nothing more they needed to do for her except to prescribe her to practice walking 2x a day. In June, Speech Therapy re-tested her, and she is now back on regular, thin liquids and ordinary soft foods cut into small pieces. My mother now feeds herself and is able to transfer with a 2-wheeled walker and 1-person assist between bed and wheelchair, as well as wheelchair and toilet--yes, she now can say when she needs to use the toilet and can actually use it. The other morning I told her that my son was going to dance class; that same evening, I brought him to visit her, and to my amazement, she asked, "So did he go to dance class?" For anyone with a family member with advanced dementia, you know just how tremendous it is for that person to actually remember something even ten minutes later, much less several hours. We are ethnic Chinese and have spent most of our lives in Greater China--Hong Kong, Taipei, and Beijing. We know the benefits of Chinese medicine and have seen numerous very good practitioners throughout Asia. I can say hands down that Steven Sonmore is the most effective doctor of acupuncture that we have ever encountered. Previous doctors of Chinese medicine have certainly helped our various family members in many ways. But never have I witnessed as fast and stark an improvement as I have with the treatment of my mother's dementia. Finally, let me clarify that there have been no major changes to my mother’s medications, and as good as it is, the care in the nursing home is always simply supporting what her needs are at any given time. Now, at the end of July 2019, just two weeks before my mother's 95th birthday, there is no question in my mind that it is Steven Sonmore’s acupuncture which is the reason for my mother awaking from the debilitating fog of dementia and now being able to enjoy a significantly higher quality of life for her remaining years.

I have had high blood pressure for nearly three years. An Internal Medicine (IM) physician prescribed a 10 mg does of an Ace Inhibitor which gave me an extreme dry cough. Next was a Calcium Channel Blocker with side affects of swollen feet, ankles, and legs. Of course, IM mentioned giving me another medication to help that situation. That's when I knew without a doubt I was on the wrong path. I wanted healing not to keep covering up symptoms and having side affects upon side affects. I began my investigation of alternative healing and found Steven Sonmore and acupuncture. The night before my initial evaluation and treatment by Steven, my blood pressure spiked up to 150/128. My entire internal system was racing, my chest /breathing felt heavy and I felt terrible. Steven's diagnose and first treatment, hit the bulls eye. During this treatment, I began to feel a calm that was missing for a long time. After the treatment, I felt so uplifted, happy, and calm. All natural. I left saying this was "delicious." I had my second treatment and a day later my blood pressure was 115/69. Fantastic results. I also take the Chinese herbs Steven recommends. My energy level is very good. I have not felt this good in three years. I am on my way to excellent, natural health. Happy and healthy.

Dr. Steven was great! Highly recommend coming here.

I have gone to Steven the last few years for arthritic pain and back pain which has been bad in the winter and Steven has helped me immensely.

I am a 37 year old man and normally very healthy. I recently became ill with a head and neck problem. Through acupuncture and rest I was able to heal over the course of 2 weeks. I would strongly recommend this as an alternative or supplemental treatment to conventional western medicine. All I can say is it worked for me!
