| - I don't write a lot of reviews, but have done a couple on YELP. I stumbled on this site today while looking for Dr. Lok's business hours. I didn't use YELP the last time I went to Dr. Lok, so didn't think about reviewing him, but felt the need to since he does a superb job, and allowed me to return to a normal life again. I felt the need to review him so others don't put off getting relief from his treatment like I stubbornly did thinking it wouldn't work.
I first went to Dr. Lok in 2003 for chronic and debilitating back pain/compressed L4/L5. I was desperate for relief, and he was my last chance before I was going to have surgery. I couldn't do anything physical without causing severe back pain. I didn't have any faith that it would work, but figured why not give it a chance. I was treated for six times over a two week period. I initially felt some relief, but not a lot.
A couple of weeks after I discontinued treatment, thinking it didn't work for me, I started to feel much better. Two months after I had begun my treatment, I was pain free. I was really surprised because I had no faith in acupuncture working for me. I hadn't been pain free in over 15 years. Now I could do yard work, and other physical activities without having to spend the rest of the day on an icepack or heating pad just to survive the pain.
Now nine years later (2012) I am still feeling great. I find that about every two to three years I need to go back for five treatments to keep me going. I do still use a chiropractor every couple of months to adjust me, but acupuncture is the key. It's time again because I'm having some minor pain in my back and have learned I don't have to live with it. I'm going again today. I've referred several friends and family members to Dr. Lok, and everyone that has gone to him had positive results from the treatment.
I've yet to send someone to him that thought it would help them, but after some nagging, I got them to go. Several of them were afraid of the needle. The needles are very fine and don't hurt. Once they were treated, they were believers too. A guy I work with was permanently disabled from a back injury and spinal surgery, and after going to Dr. Lok, he was able to return to full duty at work. He gives Dr. Lok full credit for giving him back his life.
He not only will treat back pain, he treats a lot of other issues as well. If you're looking for a great acupuncturist, I highly recommend Dr. Lok. Although he is by appointment only, I've never had to wait to get in to see him. I call ahead and get right in. If you're in pain please give him a try. What do you have to lose? I understand the hesitation to try it, but don't do like I did and put it off.
He's open M-F (8am-6pm), and for 3 hours on Saturday from 9am to noon.
