Patient Testimonials
"Dr. Song cares about helping his patients and accommodates their schedules. He is the best acupuncturist I have ever seen and highly recommend seeing him." ~Melissa, Hayden I have 30 years of progressively worsening chronic back problems and as a last resort had to have shots in my back to reduce the inflammation. It only worked 3 times. With surgery in my future, and as a last resort (that was my thinking), I purchased 6 treatments with John Song. Within 5 visits I was able to shovel snow without pain. My leg has quit hurting, I have increased strength in my leg and back and am pretty much pain-free and have regained strength and mobility. All I can say is acupuncture works and John Song is my hero." ~Linda, Spokane. "Dr. Song has been providing me with excellent care for almost a year now for my sciatica problem and hernia." ~Karen, Spokane "I came to John because I had begun to be concerned that I had not had a cycle since before my daughter was born- for over 27 months (amenorrhea). I had visited my OBGYN who told me that I either needed to stop nursing, or try taking a pill to induce by cycle. I did not want to do either of these things. I was quickly able to get into John, and he was very flexible with my schedule (I have two small children and could not make an appointment until my husband was home from work). I began treatment on a Monday, and began herbs on Wednesday. I could not believe it when I started my cycle on Thursday!!!! After 27 months of nothing! 4 days after John's treatment and my goal of treatment had been accomplished! He is wonderful and I would highly suggest him to all others struggling with this issue." ~Lindsey, Spokane "I first met John Song when I needed treatment for chronic shoulder and arm problems. I had broken my elbow many years ago, and suffered from almost constant soreness from the elbow to the wrist. In addition, I had ripped my rotator a couple years ago, and that did not seem to be healing. Within 4 visits, the pain issues were gone, and I continued for another two visits to solidify those results. Two weeks later, I broke my fibula, and went back to him for treatment. John's techniques have given me such good results, with a much speeded-up recovery from a sprained ankle and the mending of the bones. I highly recommend him!" ~Penny, Spokane "John Song's treatments have completely alleviated my severe knee pain that was making it difficult to walk. I was also referred to a physical therapist, but John's treatments worked so well that the pain was gone before I could even be seen by the PT." ~Tyana, Spokane "Having been failed and even further damaged by western medicine, I've had significant breakthroughs with acupuncture, the pursuit of which I highly recommend to all. I've just undertaken treatments with Dr. Song. Dr. Song practices at a level of experience, expertise, intuition, and compassion which far surpasses other good practitioners I've seen, from accurate, holistic diagnoses to powerful and immediately effective treatments. I cannot recommend Dr. Song highly enough. He, as a world class acupuncturist, seems more probable in legend than in Spokane. Joy that he is in Spokane!" ~Maggie, Spokane "I am from an island called Guam. I have been here for over a month visiting my two daughters. When I first arrived, I told my daughter I was experiencing pain on my right side of my rib cage. This was an ongoing issue I've been experiencing for over 3 years and I couldn't find relief. On Guam I saw numerous Doctors, ran tests, an ultrasound and x-rays. Nothing seemed to help or find the source of the pain I was feeling. My youngest daughter suggested acupuncture. She has never seen an acupuncturist but thought it could help seeing that nothing else had. After my first session with John Song, I immediately felt relieved from the sharp pain that seemed never-ending. Through the 11 sessions I saw John, I expressed my other issues I was experiencing such as numbness on my mouth, sleep apnea, arthritis, and the lack of result from trying to lose weight. I was also experiencing a non-stop buzzing sound, blurry vision, feeling imbalance with my body, fatigue, anxiety and depression. I felt out of breath and tightness in my chest. John touched on each of my issues but helped me most with the pain in my rib cage, my energy level, arthritis on my fingers and hands, and helping me sleep. I know more now and understand why I am going through these problems of pain. As soon as John started to do these acupuncture treatments it made a tremendous difference in everything I’ve been doing. I walk more, workout, and feel better about myself. I now believe if I can continue with this treatment I could be cured. I will be leaving back home soon and I know when I get home I will look and be different to my husband and do better in the things I want to do. If anyone were to ask me why I’m so energized, I would happily refer them to John Song. You have to experience his treatment and then you would understand. Thank you John Song! I will visit with you again." ~Doris, Guam "I'm a rather skeptical consumer so I've waited over three months to share and post my experiences with Dr. Song's acupuncture treatment. That said, Dr. Song is a truly miraculous healer! I started seeing Dr. Song for general health and wellness. In the time I've been seeing him, my vision has improved, my breathing is more relaxed and deep, and I generally feel well and happy. I've had days when my experiences with Dr. Song were strikingly noticeable. For example, on one day when I went in for treatment I was feeling absolutely exhausted. After seeing Dr. Song, I felt as if I had renewed energy and vigor; I could literally feel the blood following through my body and see the difference in the color of my skin and face. On other days, the effects of treatment were more subtle; my thought processes felt crisp and my body felt calm and relaxed. In general, my energy has increased and I'm feeling better than I have in years! Thank you Dr. Song." ~Jessica, Spokane "I really appreciate how thorough and effective John's acupuncture style is. I was very thankful that he stayed in the treatment room and answered all of my questions in ways I could easily understand. After one session, my circulation had improved so much that my face was glowing! I am very happy with the results." ~Jocelyn, Spokane |
"Today, my husband commented, you are 1000% better as I left for my acupuncture appointment. John Song has helped me tremendously. With 4 new compression fractures, the pain was excruciating. But after my appointments with John Song, they stabilized and to date I have not had to have vertebroplasty surgery as I did with 3 previous compression fractures. My pain level now is minimal, to non-existent. Before I held myself so stiffly to not cause myself more pain and was not able to lie down on a flat surface without terrible back spasms. Also, I have polycycstic kidney disease and my GFR has improved with the Chinese herbs I have been taking. I also appreciate the treatment I received that immediately relieved a very bad headache. I am so thankful that John Song has such a commitment to helping people, because he has really helped me." ~Elaine, Cheney "Dr. Song has done a great job treating my shoulder. It is my first experience with acupuncture and it has been extremely positive." ~Tim, Spokane "I could feel my sinus area opening up after only a few minutes during John's acupuncture treatment! I appreciate his ability to treat multiple areas during one visit. John is truly a great asset to our medical community!" ~Shelley, Spokane "With a frozen shoulder (because of repetitive movements), I was referred to John by my Massage Therapist and Physical Therapist, who felt that they may have been missing something in my recovery. During my second visit, John’s prognosis indicated that I had actually an injured shoulder and elbow (I did recall that I did fall on my arm). John began applying acupuncture to remove pain and stiffness. I do not have to use ice packs, take extra-strength Tylenol, experience insomnia, and most of all I regained most of my range of motions as reaching, cooking, blow drying my hair, and showering. John is very analytical and observant because he also noticed I swayed when I walked because my lower back is stiff because of an upper disc problem. He is currently working on this and my walking has much improved. I can now walk extensively in the malls and with minimum stopping to rest. His Acupuncturist office is really a multi-purpose one because now he is treating my sprained thumb. I highly recommend John Song because of his professionalism, skills, and most importantly caring attitude. Very thankful for all you have done for me." ~Audrey, Spokane "I went to John Song today for the first time. I have had severe lower back pain for 20 months. I have had X-rays , an MRI, bone scan and 9 injections. None of the doctors could find any problem. Within 5 minutes with John Song my back pain was gone. Amazing. I will continue going to him because I also have pain in my ankle. Thank you John Song" ~Barbara, Spokane "I had three major surgeries on my lower back ten years ago. The condition of my back over the last ten years can be liken to a grape turning into a raisin on the vine with my condition propped up by medication. Over the last six months my condition had deteriorated to the point of unbearable pain and most likely another surgery which I did not want. After speaking to my regular doctor acupuncture options were discussed. Dr.John offered a six pack of treatments at a reasonable price so I decided to give it a try instead of moving forward with an MRI and possible surgery. "I decided to try acupuncture to assist with my digestive issues of constipation and irregular elimination. I have been taking the herbal tea prescribed and totally noticed a calming effect on my digestive system and my skin is moister and more supple. Elimination patterns have improved. The treatments are very stimulating to my entire body and but I feel more rested, focused and energetic." ~Sharon, Spokane "I am very grateful for receiving treatment with herbs and acupuncture from John K Song. Two weeks ago I could barely walk and I had experienced intense stomach/abdominal pain for several months. I was worried about spending money on treatments since I am retired and my insurance only covers traditional Western medicine. But, I had heard strong recommendations from a friend. I was not getting better using the traditional Western approach and I was in so much pain that it was difficult for me to function. After the first treatment I could walk and the pain in my digestive system was less intense. After 2 weeks and 6 treatments I am pain free. I also feel more energy. I will make the same recommendation to anyone who considering this treatment that a friend made to me. She told me—try it for two weeks—and then notice how you feel. John Song is very knowledgeable and highly skilled. He radiates positive energy and warmth. I am grateful that I listened to my friend." ~Sheri, Spokane "I am using acupuncture to help relieve my shoulder and arm pain. It has definitely reduced my pain and increased my mobility of my shoulder." ~Dale, Spokane "Dr.Song's treatments have healed my knee pain and my shoulder pain. The herbs have given renewed vitality and energy." ~Joy, Spokane |
