Chung Hwa Herbs & Acupuncture

Great place to cure back pain or any other problem. I have neen suffering from pelvics and back pain for a long time. The first day I visited, I was treated with accupuncture. The first day of treatment, the pain went away like vapor in the air. Dr Liu is very experienced over 35 years in USA. Very caring and understand the patient’s pain right away. I will surely revisit if the pain comes back even though it does not seems to come back. Two thums up!

These people are HONEST. I called to find out about cost, times etc. The woman who answered the phone asked me what my problem is. I told her arthritis in my knee and venous insufficiency in my ankles. She said that acupuncture cannot help those problems. Other acupuncturists always claimed that they could help me.

I agree with the other Unilocaler. Various members of my family have been going to Dr. Liu for years. We didn’t realize that we all had the same herbalist until we compared notes. Dr. Liu works miracles with the needles and the herb tonic. I have an extremely stressful job & often feel faintly. The tonic really helped me get my energy level up. I get the tonic customized for me every few yrs.
I recently took my teenage sons. One has a chronic migraine & allergy. Though we didn’t mention anything before Dr. Liu took the teenager’s pulse, Dr. Liu mentioned that my son’s lung needed strengthening; it was causing the nasal passage to clog up, resulting in frequent sore throats, sinus headaches & migraines. My skeptical 15 year old was completely sold. I recommend the $ 400 tonic as an investment towards your health. The tonic is prescribed, brewed & packaged for convenience and lasts about 3 weeks (taken 2 or 3 times a day).
For Saturday visit, I recommend making an appt. He often closes around lunch time.

Dr. Heng-​Yen Liu, a Korean-​speaking Chinese Acupuncturist and Herbalist, is one of the hidden gems in the Koreatown healthcare industry.
I had my first acupuncture experience when I was in college and it was with an acupuncturist in Glendale who my father swore by. I had severe back pain and although I tried him out twice, well, I didn’t feel any different. I figured acupuncture was just hocus-​pocus so I never thought about it again. Fast forward to May of 2009. My back went out (I have disc herniation issues) and I couldn’t get out of bed. I couldn’t stand up, sit up, or even roll over in bed on my own. I had to crawl to get to the restroom, and had to be sponge-​bathed.
After a week, I couldn’t just lie around waiting for a miracle to take place so at the behest of my father, I went to an acupuncturist just a few blocks away from my home. My father, again, swore up and down that this Doctor was great, and that he was sure I’d feel better afterwards.
I don’t know HOW I got to my father’s car, or how I ended up at the office because any other position that’s not prone made me want to cry. Somehow, I made it to his office, and sat down (or at least tried to) while he asked me a few questions.
He told me he’s treated sciatica patients before but how acupuncture is not a long-​term solution. He said he would try to help me with the pain but for me to seek the help of an orthopaedic surgeon in the near future. Yes yes, I replied, as I made my way to the acupuncture table.
Let me just tell you that lying down on my stomach to get the treatment hurt like none other. Everything is a blur, honestly, except for the feel of electricity shooting down my right leg. Although he didn’t use electrically-​charged needles, I really felt electricity shooting down and out of my body. Strange way to describe it I know but that’s all I’ve got for ya.
Ten minutes later I was WALKING out of his office, ON MY OWN! Sure I was limping slightly, but hallelujah I was able to walk! He’s like Jesus … a miracle worker.
He didn’t set up a plan for me to come in x amount of times a week but to come in if I felt pain. It was nice to have someone give me the truth about how often I should receive treatment instead of telling me I SHOULD come in x amount of days a week for his pocket’s sake. He’s honest about what he can do for you and I appreciate this honesty.
I’m writing this now because I went to see him again today about acquiring some herbs but he told me I didn’t need them. He gave me wonderful advice about how to take care of my overall health and didn’t even charge me for his time. He and his wife are wonderful, warm, and friendly people and they make you feel at home at their clinic. I mean, I only went twice for my back pain (I didn’t feel pain afterwards, wow!) and here’s a year later and they both recognized me today!
$ 40 for each treatment (that was last year; don’t know what it costs now). He deserves more for what he’s done for me.
I STRONGLY recommend you go to Doctor Liu for your acupuncture needs. No I’m not related to him and I’m not writing this because he’s a friend or a friend’s parent. He really is that good.
