OUR PATIENT STORIES
TENNIS ELBOW/ARM PAIN
“In September 2008, I got a new puppy. After a month or so, I began to notice that my right arm was hurting. I figured it was from the excitable young puppy jerking on the lease when I took her outside and figured I had a pulled muscle.
By January 2009, my arm was hurting really bad. I started wondering if it was my workstation in the office. Our Ergonomic Specialist evaluated my desk and computer. She brought me a wrist brace and had our Engineering Department remove the arms on my chair. I ordered a new keyboard and made some height adjustments. This seemed to help for a while.
After another month or so, the pain returned with a vengeance. I decided to go to a local Hand Specialist. After evaluation and an MRI, I was told I had tennis elbow and that the tendons in the elbow were inflamed. I was eventually given an injection and some exercises to do at home. Everything seemed to be fine for about 3 months.
I babysat my three year old grandson who had a temper tantrum during his visit. When I picked him up to calm him, the pain returned immediately the next day. I was in so much pain just like before.
A co-worker told me she had gone to Timeless Acupuncture and had gotten excellent results. I was ready to do anything and made an appointment…the rest is history.
My experience with Timeless has been the best thing I have ever done. I was very anxious at first but ready to get some relief from the pain.
Mr. Cheng is a very caring professional who listens to your concerns and works very diligently in helping to alleviate your pain. I began my treatments the second week of August and immediately notice a difference in the pain. I finished my treatments the second week of November. My tendon is no longer inflamed and the pain in the surrounding muscles is gone.
Mr. Cheng has given me my life back. I know that I will have to make a commitment to exercise my arm and take breaks away from the desk because of the type of work I do, but I can certainly do that.
I have no more pain and that is the most important thing. I would recommend Mr. Cheng to anyone who is experiencing chronic pain. Acupuncture really does work.” ~A.A.
EYE PAIN
“I am currently 35 years old. During my early teens, I began to develop a horrible pain in my right eye. It would come and go, yet I never pursued any type of help. Once I hit my 20's, not only did my pain become constant, but from time to time, I would have a "glossed over" look in my right eye. I had mentioned this pain to my ophthalmologist time and time again. Yet I'd always get the same response, "I don't see anything wrong." A few years later, after constant complaints to my Dr., he then referred me to a specialist, who in return, referred me to have an MRI. Yet again, same response. At that stage in my life, I had come to accept the fact that I was to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I had done all I could, had seen the best doctors, and had no other options. Years went by, and then I thought about trying acupuncture. I immediately booked an appointment with Hung-yuan Cheng. And to my surprise, I had someone that would actually listen, unlike all the specialists I had previously seen. After seeing Mr. Cheng for less than a year, I am COMPLETELY pain free in my eye! Mr. Cheng, in my opinion, did more for me than any Dr. could have ever done. His professionalism, his honesty, and his passion for helping others is something that is hard to find in a Dr.'s office these days. Now, anytime an issue comes up with my body, I immediately book my appt with Mr. Cheng, eliminate the pain, and move on with my life.” ~T.H.
SHOULDER PAIN
“I was experiencing moderate to severe shoulder pain and loss of mobility for about five months when my wife suggested acupuncture. We were about to take a vacation that included some kayaking and considered cancelling that part of the trip. My first visit to Timeless Acupuncture was productive, resulting in some improved mobility and range of motion. I also experience lower back pain and that was addressed as well. After four sessions, I had significant improvement in both the shoulder and back pain. We kept the plans for the kayak trip and I enjoyed a relatively pain free day despite the movement. It has now been about six months and the range of motion is greatly improved and there is much less pain. My level of patient satisfaction is high and I would recommend Timeless Acupuncture without reservation. I have already encouraged several people to pursue this form of treatment.” ~G.A.
TMJ/CANCER/DIABETES/KNEE PAIN
“I have been seeing Wendy for about 1½ years now. When I started with her, I had several different issues going on. I had sinus surgery, and was experiencing a lot of complications, including migraines, facial pain, and chronic fatigue, and I now have a definite diagnosis of TMJ. Wendy has been fantastic. She has listened to me, when no other doctor would take the time to. She understands the pain I have been in and continues to go above and beyond helping me. Since starting, I have most of my energy restored, I sleep better at night, and we are continuing making progress with the TMJ. A few months ago, my husband, who had kidney cancer surgery last year, started seeing Hung-yuan. My husband also had mono and was diagnosed with diabetes. Hung-yuan has helped him tremendously. His energy is so much better and his blood sugar has been staying regulated with no medication. He has also helped him with his knee problem. We are both extremely pleased with both Hung-yuan and Wendy and would recommend them to all our friends and family. They are truly caring and dedicated to helping their clients.” ~P.R.
LUMBAR DEGENEARTION/SCIATICA PAIN
“To all out there in pain, I strongly recommend giving Mr. Cheng a practitioner of acupuncture the opportunity to improve the quality of your life by using acupuncture as a method of treating pain affecting your body. I came to Timeless Acupuncture as a first time experience of the acupuncture method of medicine with lower back problems affecting me for the last 13 years with a diagnosis of tissue deteriorating between my L4 and L5 on my lower back and as a result came to Mr. Cheng with my left side Sciatic Nerve causing me burning sensation, numbness, tingling radiating from my lower back down the back of my thigh to the back and side of my left leg. I had just gone through 6 months of chiropractic care with no solution to my pain. I felt that my body was deteriorating at a young age of 34 years old. By my 3rd visit from experiencing Mr. Cheng’s treatments, he was able to get a handle of my Sciatic Nerve problems to the point where there is NO MORE PAIN and now we are into our 4th month of working together to improve my overall quality of my physical condition. I strongly recommend Timeless Acupuncture to improve your physical well being just like it has for me.” ~W.S.
SPORTS ENHANCEMENT/MORTON'S NEUROMA/FOOT PAIN
“In 2007, I began to have severe foot pain aggravated by running. At that time, I saw an orthopedic doctor who made me stop ALL exercise for 6 weeks and spend a great deal of money on orthotics. My foot was better for less than one year, so when the problem began again I decided to try Timeless Acupuncture. The day I entered for the first treatment, my foot hurt to simply press on the gas pedal of the car. After a little more than one hour of treatment, I was walking barefoot around the office. I was told that I should not run the following day, but could go back to my normal schedule the day after that. I jokingly asked if the doctor could make me run fast enough to win races. Unbeknownst to me, he began to treat me for endurance and speed. Less than 2 months later, I won first place overall for 2 different 5K races! My pain is completely gone and my speed has increased. Not only does Timeless Acupuncture do an excellent job treating ailments, they also show sincere interest in the well-being of patients. They consistently go the extra mile to meet the needs of patients. They have even given me recommendations for other family members who live too far away to visit here. I have and will continue to recommend Timeless Acupuncture to all of my friends for their superior care and concern for patients.” ~K.C.
FROZEN SHOULDER
“I came to Timeless Acupuncture due to a frozen shoulder that was unresponsive to physical therapy and chiropractic, along with other alternative therapies. Dr. Hung-yuan Cheng is very knowledgeable, and with his expertise, my shoulder began to move more easily and release the muscles and tendons, as he opened the energy channels where there was inhibition in my range of motion. After about 6 sessions, I showed significant improvement, and after 8 sessions I was doing push-ups pain free! I refer whenever I have the opportunity anyone who may have need of assistance and would like to try acupuncture. Dr. Cheng has excellent skills and is always seeking alternative strategies for the optimum results. Out of four acupuncturists I have seen over the years, he has the best combination of both experience and easy communication with clients to ensure successful treatment. I highly recommend this doctor!” ~MP.T
WOMEN'S HEALTH/DIGESTIVE ISSUES/PAIN
“I started going to Timeless Acupuncture as a last resort. I was suffering from Lymphocytic Colitis, Fructose Intolerance, SIBO and severe back pain. I truly thought "what do I have to lose?" Well, I feel better than I have in years. Not only have my digestive and back problems eased, but my night sweats and hot flashes, insomnia and anxiety issues have disappeared even though I've come off hormone replacement therapy and anxiety meds! I'm amazed.
Hung-yuan is truly an "honest" gentleman and really wants to help. If he doesn't think he can help, he'll tell you. He also has a way of making you feel very comfortable, even when you have to stick out your tongue, weird right.
Thanks Hung-yuan.” ~K.Y.
MIGRAINE HEADACHE/DIGESTIVE ISSUES
“Timeless Acupuncture was there for me when I felt there was no remedy for the headaches I have been suffering from for several years. These headaches related to hormone imbalance (we think) have gotten progressively more debilitating over the past several years, but the first day I visited the Cheng's I had had an especially bad headache, that just wouldn't go away for 5 weeks. I couldn't shake it. I was amazed to feel so much relief after my first visit! I had anticipated that it would take at least 3 visits to get this headache unlocked.
Prior to seeing Hung-yuan I had visited my primary care physician several times and worked with a neurologist who gave me all kinds of medicines that I feel were poisoning my system. I felt worse and worse and needed some help.
For my headaches, I have found that I need a treatment at least every 2 to 3 weeks to stay balanced and occasionally when I have a really bad pain if I catch it quickly enough I can get relief rather quickly. Before I visited Timeless Acupuncture I was getting 3 or 4 headaches a week and now I can go for a week or more without pain.
In addition, I was treated after I returned from a trip outside the country and had picked up a bad stomach bug, nothing over the counter was working and I lost 12 pounds. I was back to my old self by the next day and my system was entirely healed by the end of that week with no traditional meds. I didn't need anything but acupuncture and herbs.
I have recommended the Cheng's clinic to many friends and have been very pleased with the care I have received there. Thank you Timeless Acupuncture!” ~M.P.
ONE-SIDED HEADACHE/KNEE PAIN
“I first came to Timeless Acupuncture for my severe daily one-sided headaches. These headaches affected my everyday living. After a few treatments my headaches dramatically improved. I no longer suffer from these severe headaches. I later mentioned my chronic knee pain to my acupuncturist which he began to treat. Due to structural abnormality we were able to minimize pain level and I no longer have knee pain on most days and am able to tolerate more exercise. I have referred my clients to Wendy and Hung-yuan. I am very satisfied at the results that I received from Timeless Acupuncture.” ~A.M.
MIGRAINES/PELVIC PAIN DURING PREGNANCY
“I wanted to write to tell of my experience with acupuncture at Timeless Acupuncture. I have been coming to Hung-yuan Cheng for acupuncture for about the last 6 months. I am currently in my last few weeks of pregnancy, during that time acupuncture has made a huge difference to my state of health. I am a chronic migraine sufferer and was having 3-4 migraines a week prior to coming to receive acupuncture. Once I began treatment here, my migraines went down in level of pain as well as frequency. While being treated here, I also began having sciatic pain, due to pregnancy, that Hung-yuan Cheng was able to completely relieve after one or two visits. I find that acupuncture works great combined with Western Medicine. I would definitely recommend Timeless Acupuncture to anyone that is unhappy with their current health situation or needs a medication/surgery free way to treat a particular illness. I have referred several people including family members that are also very happy with the treatment that they have received.” ~B.P.
FROZEN SHOULDER
“I told a friend about my frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) condition and that I was in a lot of pain. Timeless Acupuncture was recommended to me. I decided to try acupuncture as an adjunct to the physical therapy I was already receiving elsewhere. Since starting acupuncture treatments, I am progressing extremely well in physical therapy and with less pain. Hung-yuan and Wendy provide a professional yet caring and relaxing environment at Timeless Acupuncture. I am extremely pleased with the treatment and I have, and will continue to, recommend them to others.” ~P.P.

SPORTS INJURY (SHOULDER)
“Coming from a family that has a background in western medicine, I was looking to find an alternative approach to help heal some of my problems. Having been to another acupuncturist originally who was very pushy and made it seem that It would take 5 to 10 appointments to find relief I was refreshed to have found Timeless Acupuncture. Hung-yuan and Wendy were very friendly and honest in the approach to help me with my problems. They answered all of my questions directly and were very upfront about what they could offer. The help I was seeking was relief and help in the rehab of my shoulder. Having 2 slap tears and a nagging cyst in my shoulder I was told that I would either need surgery or an arduous rehabilitation program. I had already had dealt with the knife in a previous injury and was very reluctant to do so knowing that it was potentially a hit or miss chance of success for my shoulder with the surgery.
Taking the long road to naturally rehabilitate my shoulder was difficult at first. Acupuncture was a great aid in allowing my shoulder to heal faster. I had to do many exercises and my shoulder would get tight and the rehab became frustrating due to the overcompensation of some of the muscles and tendons were doing to stabilize my shoulder. With the help of acupuncture, I was able to get the pain relief and the opening of blood flow to my shoulder so that it could heal. As of now I am back to 90% activeness with the potential to only get stronger. I would have to say without acupuncture I may have ended up possibly taking surgery eventually. With the success and friendships that I have developed at Timeless Acupuncture I have recommended my friends and family to find relief for some of the aches and pains of their lives. It is great to know that acupuncture and the knowledge of the people at Timeless can help you actually find the causes of your problems instead of going to a doctor who just recommends a medicine that covers up the symptoms.” ~D.M.
WOMEN'S HEALTH/ENDOMETRIOSIS
“I initially came to Timeless Acupuncture for pain management and treatment of endometriosis. Since starting the treatments, I have mostly pain-free. I have also noticed more energy and an improved sense of well-being. This has been such a positive experience, and I have recommended Timeless Acupuncture to clients as well as family and friends. I have also returned for treatment in other areas (allergies and chronic cough). I will continue to seek care at this office. I have been so happy with both Hung-yuan and Wendy. They take the time to listen and truly care about their clients.” ~J.H.
BACK PAIN
“After having lower back pain for many years and trying everything from neurosurgery to chiropractic treatments to alleviate the pain in my back and legs. I was referred to your clinic. I was skeptical since nothing else had worked for me. I was treated once a week and within a month my pain was alleviated and I was able to walk much longer distances. Since the initial treatments I have came back for maintenance visits and my back and legs are so much better than before. I thank you for your special concern about my well being. I have recommended your clinic to several people and even my wife (who hates needles). All have expressed satisfaction with the treatment they have received from your clinic. I thank you again for restoring my ability to walk and to be pain free.” ~D.B.
TORTICOLLIS/DYSTONIA
“Hung-yuan and Wendy at Timeless Acupuncture have been a true gift from God. Their extensive knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Occupational Therapy, and Psychology has enabled them to be used by my Lord, Jesus Christ, to bring healing to my body. In conjunction with other health professionals, they have helped me to see dramatic improvements in my overall health. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Spasmodic Torticollis or Dystonia. I was suffering from constant severe pain. I received Botox injections every five to six months. The Botox injections helped reduce the level of pain and increased mobility. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the injections wore off after only three months. My husband met Wendy at an Eisai health fair at work. He suggested that I give it a try. After the first acupuncture treatment, my physical therapist asked with amazement what had I done? She said in her best New York accent,"It feels like butta(butter)! The muscles in my neck and shoulder were now workable and no longer felt like a slab of concrete! I highly recommend Timeless Acupuncture to anyone. I currently have very little pain, greater mobility, and the disability is undetectable to most people. My range of motion is greatly improved. I thank the Lord for Wendy and Hung-yuan and for the gifts of healing, kindness, and compassion that He has blessed them with. I pray for God's showers of blessings upon them and you as you seek healing.” ~L.C.
SCOLIOSIS/BACK PAIN/SHOULDER PAIN
“When I was thirteen years old, I underwent scoliosis back surgery and have had lower back discomfort and shoulder pain ever since. Over the next few years, the pain would come and go, but as time passed, the pain got worse and came more frequently until it wouldn't go away anymore. I tried many different treatments such as massages and chiropractic visits, but the pain relief only lasted about two or three days at most. When I first came to Timeless, my left shoulder was hurting very badly and I couldn't stand or sit for very long without constant lower back pain. Now, after about six months of treatment, my lower back rarely hurts and I am able to remain shoulder-pain free for a little over two weeks at a time. Thank you, Timeless, for helping me manage my pain!” ~V.C.
BACK PAIN
“I started going to Timeless Acupuncture because of back issues. I was skeptical at first. However, when starting acupuncture I had no feelings in my toes and now I have full feeling back. Acupuncture is relaxing and very stress relieving. I personally would recommend acupuncture to anyone because of my results it really does help. The staff at Timeless Acupuncture are very professional and take the time to go through the whole process completely.” ~G.M.
PREGNANCY/MORNING SICKNESS
“I tried acupuncture for the first time at Timeless Acupuncture during my first trimester of pregnancy. I was experiencing a lot of nausea which lasted all day, everyday. I found the experience overall to be better than I had expected. The ambiance was very peaceful and soothing. I was not expecting to be able to lie down for 30 minutes as music played and a heating lamp kept me warm. I was so relaxed once that I ended up falling asleep. I never felt uncomfortable during any of the sessions. After each session, my nausea and vomiting decreased. I was vomiting every morning the week before acupuncture, and after the first session the frequency of vomiting decreased dramatically. I felt more energized and rejuvenated after my sessions. I would absolutely refer friends and family to timeless acupuncture. The professionalism and kindness shown to me was enough to keep me going back for more sessions, even if I was not seeing any results from the acupuncture. Thanks so much!” ~J.S.
HEALTH MAINTENANCE
“As an energy healer I know the whole body needs to be treated when an illness occurs. I wholeheartedly recommend the professionals at Timeless Acupuncture for their approach by promoting healing in a professional and compassionate manner.” ~K.S.
PROSTATITIS/SPORTS INJURY/PLANTAR FASCIITIS
“About two years ago I was diagnosed with a prostate condition called Prostatitis. My P.S.A. was high and getting higher and the urologist what talking about various drugs and even surgery to control the problem. I did not like the way things were going and so I decided to try acupuncture and Chinese medicine. After six months of treatment at two week intervals, all my symptoms were greatly reduced and my P.S.A. was cut in half. Even the urologist thought that this was a remarkable turn-around.
Additionally, over the course of treatment I began to suffer with a sports injury called Plantar Fasciitis. Some of my tennis friends have had this problem and had undergone surgery. One guy suffered with it for 13 months. After three acupuncture treatments I was totally pain free.” ~M.K.
