I'm finally pregnant! Because of the mole pregnancy, I have been suffering from infertility for more than a year. Since medicine is not working well with me, I decided to try acupuncture. Thanks to Erica, she patiently treated me with acupuncture and Moxibustion once a week, and she taught me what kind of diet might help me. The treatment took a few months to work as she advised me at the very beginning. I said it works because my son is turning 1-year-old next month. I am so grateful for having Erica as my acupuncturist. I highly recommend you see Erica and consult with her about your situation! Her treatment works! - Eva C.

I Couldn’t Even Stand Up from the Toilet…But One acupuncture Session Changed Everything!Years ago, my lower back suddenly became so stiff that I could barely move — I couldn’t even stand up from the toilet without my husband’s help. There was no injury at all, just a sharp, locked-up pain. But after just one acupuncture session, the stiffness released so noticeably that I could move freely again right away — I even went to work the same day! That was my first time trying acupuncture, and I’ve been going regularly for wellness maintenance ever since.

Recently, I went in with stomach spasms. As soon as the needle went in, I felt a wave of energy — like my Qi instantly balanced out. The sensation moved downward, and my whole lower body felt warm and open. Even my feet, which usually get cold easily, became warm. In that moment, the energy of my entire body felt balanced — it was an amazing feeling of harmony and relief.

Every time after a session, I walk out of the clinic feeling lighter, more balanced, and amazed at how powerful one treatment can be. Acupuncture really works — you should give it a try too! - Ms. Shen

One acupuncture session stopped my craving! 

I recently visited Dr. Erica for acupuncture, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I walked into her clinic, I felt at ease. Dr. Erica is not only friendly and approachable, but she's also incredibly careful and thorough in her approach. She took the time to understand my health concerns and explained every step of the treatment, making sure I was comfortable throughout.

I specifically went to Dr. Erica for smoking cessation, and I was amazed by the results. After just one session, I noticed a significant decrease in my cravings. It's truly impressive how effective her treatment is. If you're looking to quit smoking quickly —whether it’s because of an upcoming surgery or simply to improve your health — Dr. Erica is the person you need to see. Her professionalism and genuine care make all the difference. I highly recommend her services to anyone considering acupuncture.

It’s a decision you won’t regret! - cliff T.

We found hope through acupuncture! I’m incredibly grateful for my experience with acupuncture in my infertility journey. Erica was wonderful; she took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel at ease every step of the way. It required patience, but I stayed consistent with my weekly appointments, and it truly paid off. Not only did acupuncture support me through the process, but it also improved my overall well-being. I’ll always be thankful for the impact it had on my infertility! I will always believe in it as I sit here looking at my almost 1 year old little boy! -Kaitlin D.

Guided by Faith, Supported with Care, Blessed with a Newborn at 40! A friend recommended I try acupuncture for fertility, after having success herself. At 39, I knew that my biological window to conceive was narrowing. After experiencing a miscarriage the year prior and trying to conceive without success since, I knew I wanted to do everything possible to have the third baby my husband and I so deeply desired for our family. After just eight sessions, I received a positive pregnancy test! I believe in God’s perfect timing, but I also believe He works through people like Erica, giving them gifts to bless others. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about her patients. I had a very difficult pregnancy and continued seeing her weekly throughout. She helped manage so many of my symptoms, from severe nausea and vomiting to symphysis pubis dysfunction pain. She became someone I trusted and someone I admittedly vented to often about how hard the pregnancy felt. While I’m sure my patience would have run out quickly, hers never did. She showed up with the same compassion and support every single week. As a nurse, I’m very selective about who I trust with my care and my family’s care. I’m so glad I chose Erica! Our third baby boy was born in February, about a month after I turned 40, and we are just so thankful for our rainbow baby! We love you, Erica! - Bethany P.

acupuncture saved me from back pain! I almost had to stop my road trip because of my back pain. I had been driving for days when the pain in my lower back started radiating across my hip and up toward my neck. I’ve had surgery on my left hip before, so I’m used to discomfort but this was different. Every movement hurt, and even staying still was painful. I was moving slowly, stiffly, and with obvious pain.

When I walked into the clinic, I could barely move without wincing. But after just one treatment, I stepped down from the table and — unbelievably — the pain was gone. I could move freely again without that heavy, pulling pain in my back and hip. I was so happy and relieved.

Thanks to Michelle, I was able to get back on the road and finish my road trip pain-free. I’m incredibly grateful I stopped here, it made all the difference! - Hubert H.

Acupuncture for veteran. TRUE Pain Management Beyond Pain Meds. I have been going to China Acupuncture Clinic for quite some time now. After back surgery to insert rods and screws between L4 & L5 and L5 & L6, I was still having chronic pain. A friend told me that his relatives in Canada had used Chinese acupuncture for their pain. I tried it and it has helped me. It is not a cure for pain, but pain management. Pain medications don't cure anything either and become ineffective with continued use . In my case I never tolerated pain meds. I go to Erica every other week for a treatment that helps me manage the chronic pain. - Ray G. Veteran, CW2 U.S. Army

Acupuncture for veteran. Migraines Relieved. Surgery Recovered.  Progress Continued. “I have been a patient of Dr Wang for a couple of years now and I highly recommend her for those new to acupuncture and veterans alike. I initially saw her for migraines that are now limited to 1 or 2 every couple months, down from several a month. She treated me through rotator cuff surgery, rehab and recovery while actively addressing my ailing knees. She communicates well and has a very comforting demeanor and touch. Her office expertly handles issues relating to the VA with a forward looking approach that results in no hassles or inconveniences for the patient. I highly recommend China Acupuncture Clinic in Tyler for all of your acupuncture needs.” -K. Brown, CPO, USN (Ret)

Pain free from Bunions thanks to Acupuncture!

I didn’t think a full day at Disney was possible for me — but I walked and jumped around with my friends all day — pain-free! My flat feet and bunions didn’t stop me this time. Acupuncture made all the difference. Acupuncture truly worked! Thanks to Erica!  -Tina L.

Pain-free from bunions thanks to acupuncture. I didn’t think a full day at Disney was possible for me — but I walked and jumped around with my friends all day — pain-free! My flat feet and bunions didn’t stop me this time. Acupuncture made all the difference. Acupuncture truly worked! Thanks to Erica!

Nothing Helped My Migraine...Until Acupuncture! My migraines have always been bad, but lately they’ve gotten worse — even painkillers stopped working. Sometimes it got so bad, even moving my head made me feel dizzy. No matter what I tried, the pain just wouldn’t go away.

Then I tried acupuncture with Erica — and it really helped! The moment she placed the needles, I immediately felt the pressure in my temple start to melt away — it was like someone turned off the tension switch in my head. By the time the treatment ended, my whole head felt lighter, clearer, and more relaxed than it had in weeks. It was such a relief to finally catch a break from the constant pain. I know maybe one treatment is not enough to fix it all, but I really feel better. Erica also taught me how to press a few points by myself when I have a headache — and I’m not joking, it worked! If you also get headaches or migraines, I think it’s really worth trying.

Thank you so much, Erica!
