 Anxiety Disorder
     After years of traditional  therapy and medications to help my son with anxiety we decided to give  acupuncture a try. I had read in several medical journals and articles  that acupuncture had been proven to aid in reducing stress and anxiety.  We were searching for an alternative to counseling and a way to stay  medicine free when "trigger" situations would bring about anxiety  attacks. One such "trigger" is the beginning of school. At 12, I wasn't  sure if my son would be comfortable with the thought of getting needles  throughout his body. In fact, when I first spoke with Ms. Lauren Leung  about the idea, she was very informative and insured me that she had  worked with children before and had positive results. She offered  alternatives to the needles, talked directly to him, showed us her tools  and made us feel so comfortable. My son began his course of treatment 4  weeks before school began. At first, he was worn out after the  treatments. As the anxiety level lowered a sense of calm would come over  him. By the 3rd treatment, it became clear that this year could  possibly be his best ever. New school, new friends, unfamiliar teachers,  bus ride, new responsibilities and he just "rolled" with it all. It has  been amazing. In the past, we were always so concerned about him being  able to make it through the day without having an attack that we weren't  overly concerned about grades. Since working with Ms. Leung, our son's  anxiety has subsided to the point that he has emerged as an honor  student. Ask questions, visit her office, listen and watch. It works. We  would highly recommend acupuncture as an alternative treatment for  anxiety. Ms. Leung creates a warm, welcoming environment and her genuine  concern for patients is unparallel.

Constipation
     I went to Leung Acupuncture  after struggling with digestive issues and constipation for as long as I  can remember. I would get cramps, bloating, headaches and feel  sluggish. I found myself taking laxatives or herbal teas to get relief. I  knew this was an unhealthy way to treat my issues. I turned to  acupuncture and Lauren Leung for help. After one session at Leung  Acupuncture, I have not had to take anything and I feel great. My  digestion is now working as it should without ANY medication.

Digestive Issues
     Lauren is great. For years I  had a stomach illness undiagnosed by doctors, which included constant  vomiting in the morning and nausea throughout the day. Within 2  treatments of acupuncture and herbs all of the symptoms were completely  gone, and have never returned. She is a life saver.

Fibromyalgia  

     When I first started seeing Lauren there was such an unpredictable and frustrating laundry list of issues such as: 

Continuous random shooting & stabbing pains through out my body, achiness like I had the flu all the time, it was painful just to be touched, constant exhaustion from never getting a sound night’s sleep, brain fog/memory issues, nausea, difficulty breathing, irritable bowel, muscle twitches, cramping & weakness, skin sensitivity, any changes in the weather caused the pain to increase, anxiety, tingling sensations, chest & jaw pain, heart palpitations, nasal congestion and headaches.  

     It was a struggle just to get out of bed in the morning due to the stiffness and pain in my muscles.  Now, through acupuncture treatment and the herbs Lauren prescribed my pain is next to nonexistent, sleep well, energy level is up, and all the other symptoms are gone. I no longer take medication and my quality of life has improved tremendously.  

     Acupuncture is a more natural and permanent way of treating health problems. It’s also a great alternative to taking medication for the rest of your life. In my experience the medications caused more problems due to their side effects. I have and will continue to refer family, friends, and co-workers to Lauren. Lauren’s patient and caring manner make her a pleasure to be around. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for what she has done for me.

Knee Pain
     I worked with an  acupuncturist who studied acupuncture in the West several years ago and  achieved good results with him. The results I've had on my health issues  with Lauren however, have been nothing short of amazing. Her years of  study, including studies in China , have given her an insight into  working with energy and meridians that was evident from my first  session.  
     I've seen Lauren 7 times so far and the health issues we  began working on have all improved dramatically. In my 4th session I had  a flare-up of an old knee problem and within 15 minutes of treatment  the knee was still tender but the pain was gone and has not returned.  After 3 more treatments it feels more stable and feels stronger. No  Western doctor ever achieved that kind of result.
     Lauren is very personable and will explain what she's doing during treatment in a way anyone can understand.
     Contrary to what many people think, acupuncture needles  don't hurt like injections you may get at a Western doctor's office. If  you have any health issues that have become chronic, or the medicines  you've been taking don't work as well to control the condition, you  should try acupuncture.
     Some friends have been amazed at the results I've achieved  with Lauren on chronic health issues; but ask if I need to keep getting  acupuncture treatments forever to control them. The answer is no.  Acupuncture is about improving health, not simply eliminating illness  until the same problems return again. The results of acupuncture in my  experience are therefore more permanent and without the side effects of  many Western treatments.

Low Back Pain
     I have suffered severe  lower back pain for several years due to a car accident I was in. I have  tried physical therapy, stretching and pain meds but nothing seems to  work. A friend of mine suggested acupuncture and it was AMAZING! I woke  up the next morning after the 1st treatment and for the first time I had  no back pain at all. I just couldn't believe it. Lauren is very  knowledgable and great at what she does. I have recommended several of  my family and friends to her and would refer anyone who has chronic pain  to take time to get treated and they will not regret it.

Migraine Headaches
     Thanks to Lauren's  wonderful knowledge and expertise, I no longer suffer from Migraine  headaches as I had for years. Acupuncture works wonders, but only if you  go on a regular basis to cure the cause of the headaches. Her  treatments get to the root cause and clear the headaches. They do not  mask the symptoms like Western medication.
     I required Chinese herbs and weekly acupuncture initially  and now I only go for a treatment as needed. I haven't had a headache in  a year and a half. I used to get them very frequently.
     Lauren is highly educated and skilled in acupuncture--  like no other in Charlotte. Her treatments sure beat taking Migraine  medicine which has horrible side effects.

Spinal Stenosis
     Lauren's passion for  helping others and her flexible and easy manner have made working with  her a pleasure. The back problems I was having have improved greatly. I  have referred many people to Lauren and will continue to recommend her.
