Dr. Peng's profile
Most common indications

Low back pain
Low back pain is the No.1 reason to
visit acupuncture office. Lumbar disc
bulging and herniation and arthritis
are among the most common causes.
Often it accompanied by sciatica
which is the pain radiating from
buttock  to the calf and toes.
Acupuncture is one of the most
efficient method to eliminate or reduce
low back pain.

Stress / Anxiety / Depression
High stress is a condition that could
be harmful to human health.
Acupuncture induces the relaxation to
reduce stress. For anxiety or even
panic attack, acupuncture is often
applied. There are a defined group of
acupuncture points for anxiety
treatment.  Acupuncture has long been
used to treat moderate to severe
depression. Several clinic studies
have demonstrated its efficacy. Unlike
anti-depressive drugs, needles dose
not have undesired side effects yet it
significantly reduce the depression.

Migraine
Even with the availability of the
anti-migraine drugs, migraine is still a
disease that is  frequent occurring and
difficult to control. In addition to timely
control the pain,  acupuncture therapy
could significantly reduce the
frequency and intensity of the migraine.

Knee pain and neck/shoudler pain
Most of these pains are of
inflammatory causes. Acupuncture is
an effective weapon to reduce
inflammation. In contrast to
anti-inflammatory drugs (Tyleno
/Advil), acupuncture delivers more
locally targeted anti-inflammatory
activity, therefore reducing the pain
without common side effects of drugs
such as tyleno.

acupuncture has been shown
to modulate functions
of brain and many
other organs.
