Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that may worsen with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. Although there are many theories about what causes this condition - ranging from viral infections to psychological stress - in most cases the cause is still unknown.
Pain relief is one of the most common applications of acupuncture, and treatment can be effective for many types of pain. If you are suffering pain from a condition not described above, please feel free to contact us forfurther discussion with our clinician. Many patients find that acupuncture can effectively relieve pain even when nothing else has been successful.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points - places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Women are much more likely to develop the disorder than are men, and the risk of fibromyalgia increases with age.
A variety of factors can lead to upper back or shoulder pain, including stress, poor posture, whiplash injury, and tendonitis of the shoulder joint. At MayStar Natural HealthCare Center, pain management therapy for individuals with upper back or shoulder pain may include a combination of acupuncture, acupressure, GuaSha, cupping and Chinese medical herbology.
According to traditional acupuncture theory, pain is caused by a blockage of energy (Qi) flow through the body. Injuries can cause many types of blockage, such as spasms, swelling, inflammation, and bruising. While many conventional treatments simply mask the pain, acupuncture can effectively eliminate the blockage to speed healing.

Smart and compassionate doctor. Gave treatment to my mom that tremendeously helps with her chronic parotitis and nerve issue. Her acupuncture treatment, massage by the therapists, and herbs are spot on for greatly reducing the chronic pain for my mom. We're a believer in acupuncture and Chinese medicine now, thanks to a great first experience with her! The Western medication we had for months was just aimed at managing the pain, but her acupuncture and herbs have been successful in reducing the inflammation in the source area and restoring some nerve functions.
All her team members are nice and

This is a nice clean professional clinic with true Eastern/functional medicine practitioners. This not a Chinese massage place doing acupuncture part time. Dr. Liu is a consummate professional who, from your first visit, through your recovery, and to your final visit, will always listen to you. Our body changes/heals between each visit and she is always ready to hear what's on your mind and adjust treatment accordingly.
The front desk, staffed by May, is also very professional and warm. One never feels lonelier until one is injured and Dr. Liu and her staff make you feel that they are with you

I decided to visit Dr. Sarah Liu at her Maystar clinic after trying almost every other possible treatments for my chronic neck pain, including surgery. I can’t say that I am 100% pain free, but after doing the recommended treatment (no more, no less) I am about 80-90% pain free, which is better than anything else that I have tried! As an ICU nurse, I have a pretty high standard for caregivers and Dr. Liu is everything you would want- kind, professional, a good listener, washes her hands, etc. I enjoyed a couple massages which were also helpful and affordable.

I normally do not write a review, but Dr Liu deserves more than a good review. Dr Liu is one of the experienced and extremely knowledgeable Dr that I have seen in my entire life. Due to my chronic neck shoulder pain I had very problems lifting heavy stuff and got a lot of pain. I visited a lot of doctors such as: primary, Orthopedic, urgent care, chiropractic, neurologist… but nothing was helpful until I met Dr Liu.
In the first session Dr Liu examined me and explained to me what is going on. She listens very carefully and tries her best to help me. She has a wonderful bedside manner, easy to

Acupuncture can be scary if you think about it for too long, but after my visit, I can assure you that if you're under the care of this practice, then you are in great hands!! Dr. Liu has a gentle touch and uses these heat lamps to keep you nice and toasty! In addition to the acupuncture! At the end of my session, I felt totally relaxed and I felt instantly rejuvenated. If you are trying acupuncture for the first time, I would definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it!

Dr. Liu is an excellent Acupuncturist. I have been using many Acupuncturist in the US. She is my number one to go Acupuncturist. She has the gentle touch with pinpoint accurate incision. Pain relief pile cannot resolve the problem, Dr. Liu is the only that can help me. I am living in Texas. It is my must stop every time in the Bay area. Sometime I have to make a special trip to visit Dr. Liu for my Neck and Join pain. She also treat my skin rash issue with recommendation of herbal supplement. The most important thing is you know you can trust her to help you relief the pain.

Dr. Liu helped me when traditional western medicine made me feel worse. I suffered from neck, back pain, and headaches for months. My GP provided pills and set me up with PT which only made matters worse. From my first session with Dr. Liu I felt relief. She was thorough and patient and explained all procedures thoroughly. I was able to get relief from a condition which caused me daily pain. Dr. Liu worked out a plan that gradually reduced the number of sessions as I improved. I now rarely experience pain and when I do, one session allows me to feel better and move on. I have seen Dr. Liu for additional

I have seen Sarah for many things. Most recently is for my motorcycle accident. I fell off my bike in Thailand and hurt my neck and right shoulder. My neck was really stiff and my right shoulder had issues lifting it up. I could not do a lot of things anymore with my right shoulder. In my session, she did acupuncture and cupping. I really love cupping. After our session, my right shoulder had better range and less pain. The acupuncture helped loosen up my neck. Although I have more ways to go, I always like coming to see Sarah. She's good at what she does, knowledgeable and really cares about her
