Testimonials

"I had chronic leg, back and neck pain for a few years, using powerful pain medications to help with the pain. A friend told me of acupuncture and the relief she has received from acupuncture. A bit skeptical at first, "I mean needles to get rid of pain and other issues". Well I made the appointment and tried it. After the first treatment I felt about 30% pain free, after the second treatment I was at 75-80% pain free. I now walk with out a limp, I'm free of the narcotic pain medications and my mind is not over taken by thoughts of pain, but of a pain free life now. I would recommend "First Oriental Therapy" to anyone in pain or other issues that may bother you. I'm a firm believer in this form of treatment "the body healing itself". I love it and wish I found this earlier in life. Go and try it you will be amazed at the results and yes it is worth the money to be pain and drug free. DO IT"

"My family doctor suggested acupuncture for my depleted adrenal condition. By "chance", I discovered Dr. Ma right in my own neighborhood. He has helped me regain and maintain the strength and focus I had lost, so I'm able to work and contribute to my family and community.

He and Lucy have always been kind, friendly, and flexible. I would recommend their services to anyone!"

"I cannot describe how much Dr. Ma has improved my quality of life.

After a total of ten operations over several years I was miserable with pain on a daily basis, it controlled everything I did, or wanted to do. First Oriental Therapy Center has given me a quality of life that I thought I would never regain.

From my very first treatment, my hips, lower back and shoulders were much less painful and by the second week of treatment my pain was manageable without reliance on RX pain medications and their horrible side effects. Dr. Ma and Mrs. Lucy are extremely professional and compassionate, two very good people that are dedicated to your well-being and they put you at ease as soon as you arrive at the facility.

I cannot recommend their facility and services high enough.Their skills and knowledge have given me continued relief from the constant and debilitating neurological pain that controlled my life and actions for years. This is a call you need to make, Take your life back, I did and its a wonderful thing...:)"

"Before going to this acupuncture clinic, I experienced terrible pre-menopause symptoms including incapacitating heavy bleeding and physical exhaustion during periods.  The birth control pill I was prescribed with by regular OB doctor caused side effects including swelling in lower legs and bloating.  Dr. Ma was referred to me by a friend who thinks highly of the doctor’s healing ability.  After three weekly visits to Dr. Ma, my first period after the start of acupuncture therapy went smoothly without much of the symptoms.  With another four weekly visits, the second period was completely clear of any symptoms.  Dr. Ma’s healing ability is amazing, to say the least."

"I came to Dr. Ma with two complaints:  constant pain in my left arm (shoulder, upper arm, and elbow) with very limited range of motion, and daily headaches.   I set the first priority for my arm pain (because it interfered with my sleep), and second priority for my headaches.  After 6 acupuncture visits (2 weeks) I can report that the arm pain is GONE, and the range of motion in my left arm has improved significantly.  Before the acupuncture I could only lift my arm about 40 degrees without pain, and now I can lift it above my head (180 degrees)!.   My quality of sleep has also improved.   Now we are switching to treatment for my headaches.  I highly recommend!"

"Before being referred to acupuncture treatment at this location I had to receive steroid treatment in my back to help fight atrophy from nerve damage, but after I started to go to acupuncture treatments I no longer have to.  The strength in my back, my legs and even my hands are at a point they haven't been in over 13 years and they have been since a month after starting acupuncture treatment.  I can now walk upright without the aid of a cane or any other implement to help me."

"I began acupuncture with Dr. Ma at First Oriental Therapy Center on March 20, 2018.  I was very apprehensive and skeptical about acupuncture, however; I was also desperate.  I’ve been suffering from chronic sinus problems, allergies and asthma for over 40 years.  I had the sinus surgery done in 2010, due to me getting up to 18 sinus infections in a year; for many years.  The sinus surgery brought the sinus infections down to 2 per year, which is better than 18.  After the surgery, I still had massive sinus pressure, debilitating headaches, poor temperature regulation, aches, pains, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination, inability to initiate and sustain sleep.  I went back & forth to the Doctor and was prescribed so many different medications.  Unfortunately, none of them helped.  I also tried a variety of home remedies, that only worked temporarily.  After a Google search, I found that acupuncture may be a good treatment option for me.  That’s when I made an appointment with FOTC, using Groupon.  It is now April 23, 2018, I’ve had 5 acupuncture treatments and I don’t have any sinus, allergy or asthma problems at all; thanks to First Oriental Therapy Center!!  I’ve also stopped taking all sinus and asthma medication.  I still take Xyzal, but will also cease that medication soon.  Not even sure why I’m still taking it, but I’m being transparent.  I actually feel AMAZING!!!!  I really appreciate FOTC.  The Staff there are very welcoming, professional and friendly.  They also healed me and I feel like I can now participate in a lot of activities that I couldn’t in the past, because I was always too sick.  If you’re thinking about acupuncture, just do it!  You’ll be so happy to get your life back!! :)"

"I found this place through a Google search.  I had plantar fasciatis for about a year, and the podiatrist/inserts/stretching work working.  In a half-dozen or so visits, my foot pain was gone.  In addition, the kind doctor there was able to treat my psoraisis.  What would usually last for 8 weeks at a time is eliminated in two weeks with a combination of treatment and herbal tea.  I have recommended this facility, and the knowledgeable people there, to others who have also found succes.  Give them a try!!"
