I was surprised to see a young physician as I thought that TCM physicians were all much older. But I am thankful I came. Physician Leong is knowledgeable and knows a lot about TCM. She is very patient with patients and very professional. Her acupuncture skills are good as she is able to target the correct points on my face to help me resolve my issue.
Wendy awoke one day to the sight of half the right side of her face drooping, and she was unable to move her facial muscles on that side of her face. Due to her inability to move her facial muscles, she had difficulty eating and suffered from loss of appetite. She also had difficulty speaking and her speech was slurred, causing her great frustration as people around her could not hear what she said and could not understand what she was saying.
After one week of suffering, Wendy decided to seek help for her facial paralysis as it was affecting her quality of life. She googled for acupuncture clinic near her house and found us. (28 July)
After a few sessions of acupuncture over one and a half months, she managed to get her face back to its original state. The following was her treatment process:
1st treatment – Acupuncture and herbal medication. Saw slight improvement, eyes could close completely although still drooping and eating was much better.
2nd, 3rd treatment – Acupuncture and herbal medication. She saw a lot of improvement, eating and talking were much better. The upper part of her face around her eyes were not drooping anymore.
4th treatment – Acupuncture and herbal medication. Acupuncture focused on the lower part of the face and the back of her ears.
5th treatment – Totally recovered. Just continued with medication to help with the recovery and condition of her body. (8th Sept)
She has been very satisfied with the treatment and her overall experience with the clinic and has gladly referred her friends to come down to Oriental Remedies.
We are thankful Wendy gladly agreed to share her experience and hope that this will help other patients suffering from the same issue.
