Accupuncture East Meets West

Dr. Tu is amazing, after one visit today I am feeling so much better. I think I will go back for one more treatment.
I had the worst hip pain (sciatica) and he gave me relief with one acupuncture treatment. I am very grateful for the great reviews and that is how I discovered his work. I am a working artist and I decided to lift two wood panels and they created great pain, so no more heavy lifting for me.
Yes there is a wait, but he is well worth it, come in, sign in and relax and wait for a miracle doctor to work on you. I met some amazing patients there today, one young guy who was in a bad car accident three years ago and after using a cane for sometime, he is now able to walk without it.
I agree with Cyndi, sign in and than go have some lunch in the neighborhood and he is very reasonable as well.

Dr Tu is a miracle worker & a practitioner of unparalleled comparison!!! Yoshi has been seeing him for over ten years for various reasons. Always, he’d feel worlds better after a treatment! I had terrible stiff neck pain, which he healed in one treatment!!! If you’re looking for results, this is the place, PERIOD. No frills, one man show operated & a bit dodgy looking (at least he has central air!!); but, that’s easily over looked once you’ve regained full range of motion & your pain has been alleviated!!! I don’t know what we’re gonna do when Dr Tu decides to retire! Let’s hope he has an apprentice; doubtful but, I’ll continue to hope! =)

So, I’ve been having pain in my neck for a few months now. I’ve tried physical therapy and I’ve tried acupuncture at another location in Culver City. This past weekend, my mom brought me to the Acupuncture East Meets West clinic in Chinatown. It’s where she usually goes for acupuncture.
What’s different from this place and the one I went to is that they use electric acupuncture therapy so what happens is the doctor sticks the acupuncture needle in you… after that he hooks up all the needles with wires, and turns on the electricity so that your muscles twitch involuntarily. You need to have a high pain tolerance to come here. Otherwise, you’ll be Unilocaling in pain like the other people I’ve heard while I was getting my treatment done and while I was in the waiting room. This is not a day at the spa.
Anyway, East meets west is a popular place among the locals, and there is usually a wait at this location. What you usually do when you get here is put your name down in the sign in sheet that’s next to the door. From there, you just sit and wait until you’re called. I do not think they make appointments.
So far, I feel just a little better after coming here, however there is still pain in my neck.

This guys is AWESOME! I found him through my nail artist. I have been to his office twice. If your looking for fancy this is not the place. If your looking for RESULTS then get in line, write down your name and wait for him. He does not take appointments. I find that if you go and put your name in and then head to Ocean Seafood for Dim Sum it makes for a great day.

A co-​worker recommended this hidden gem tucked well within the alleys of Chinatown when he learned that I was suffering from a lingering upper back pain due to a minor mishap at the gym. He said his wife got cured from years of suffering with migraine.
I went. Two sessions. A doubting Thomas who became a reluctant convert. And now I preach of its wonders.
No reservations here, so you will have to come in early and list your name down… and wait just like everyone else. Dr. Shiao Tu is pleasing, and he never rushes. You will have to tap deep within your personal threshold for both patience (waiting) and pain (treatment)… but after having endured weeks of discomfort and constantly popping pain relievers… I can say that it’s absolutely worth every penny and every second of your time.
I’ve recommended this place since to the British big boss… the president of our company… and after years of pain… he’s a walking testament to the effectiveness of the process.
Today, I’m patiently waiting for my Baboo’s turn. I’m hoping for the best, but I have a pretty comfortable feeling that it’s going to be worth the wait and the discomfort, as usual.
