Sick-leave shortened by Chinese medicine
Mr.Ted is a department manager. But recently he could hardly do his duty properly because his doctor couldn’t help him well manage the severe knee and lower back pain due to spinal lumbar stenosis. Neither pain pills nor physical therapy worked for him. Life became extremely miserable. Three weeks ago, he started to take one-month sick leave proposed by his frustrated doctor.
Being referred by his friend, Ted contacted me for Chinese medicine help. I realized he needs intensive treatments with every-other-day acupuncture as well as Chinese herbs, and he agreed to cooperate. So we got started right away. After two sessions, he told me he began to feel better. The other day he came in high spirits telling me that he has already returned to work right after one-week’s treatment.
