Knee & Hand Pain
My job had me driving a car and at a computer for long periods of time. I developed very painful knee pain. It was so bad that I had difficulty walking and sleeping. I also noticed over a period of time that I developed tingling and numbness in my thumb, index, and middle finger with sudden shooting pains in my thumb, fingers and sometimes palm.
A colleague encouraged me to see Dr. Quan. I had developed a fear of needles, but I finally decided I needed to do something and I didn't want to take drugs that might have side effects. I remember after the first treatment the pain in my knees lessened and I found the treatment very relaxing. I continued acupuncture treatments with Dr. Quan. After a couple of months, I no longer had problems with either my knees or hands. It has been five years since the first time I saw Dr. Quan. My knees continue to be pain free.
I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Quan for drug-free pain management.

Menopause Symptoms and Osteoarthritis
My name is Joanne. I am a 59 year old retired nurse. I came to see Dr. Quan because of severe menopause symptoms and osteoarthritis in my hands. I truthfully came as a last measure as I had done everything that my family doctor had suggested to ease my symptoms but my quality of life remained poor. I was having cortisone injections in my fingers every 3-4 months to ease the inflammation which helped for a short time and I was wearing braces for my thumb joints. After eight acupuncture treatments with Dr. Quan, the pain in my fingers is greatly reduced. I do not require the brace any longer and am able to enjoy playing the piano again. Best of all, I am drug free.

Dupuytren's Contracture
In May 2020 my family doctor diagnosed Dupuytren's Contracture in my right hand. I was not able to hold a pen or paintbrush in this hand. Dr. Sarah Quan treated my hand with acupuncture and restored the movement in my hand and fingers in four treatments.
I had one additional follow up treatment in 2022.
I am a watercolour artist and it is very important to me that I am able to hold a paintbrush in my hand. Thank Dr. Quan!
