Chronic pain, whether from a pinched nerve, sciatica, arthritis or other conditions can be very frustrating for the sufferer. It is often difficult to treat nerve pain with traditional medications as nerve pain does not respond well to prescription pain relievers, including narcotics. If you suffer from chronic pain and you are unable to find relief, you may find help by using alternative medicine treatments.
Hello, my name is Ni Nan Gilbert, L.Ac. I am a practicing Acupuncture Physician in Bellmore, treating infertility with Acupuncture and helping women increase their chances of getting pregnant by as much as 50%. Did you know that treating Infertility with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine has been recorded in our ancient texts, and even on the backs of turtle shells for thousands of years?
Are you stressed out? Feeling anxious for no reason? Has your anxiety become so pronounced that your heart begins to palpitate and you're not quite sure what is happening to you? You may be suffering from panic attacks, a very real disease that if not under control can leave you in a constant state of stress.
Arthritis is a condition that can cause pain or swelling in your joints. As we get older, we all notice pain or stiffness, especially upon waking up in the morning. It is when this pain becomes more consistent and is not easily relieved that arthritis is suspected. Treatment options include prescription medications, exercise programs for more mobility, and alternative treatments such as acupuncture or chiropractic adjustments.
Fibromyalgia is a growing disorder with symptoms that vary widely from person to person. Symptoms can include depression, fatigue, insomnia, confusion, mood issues, and generalized pain. Pressure point tenderness is found in the majority of fibromyalgia sufferers and significant pain in at least 11 of 18 pressure points will encourage a physician to consider a fibromyalgia diagnosis.

I wholeheartedly trust in Dr. Nan’s intuitive and effective treatments, every single visit. As a nurse, I find Dr. Nan, and her location to be a gem in a sea flooded of western medicine. She’s done more good for my health in 2-3 months than years of specialists and any medical treatment. Thank you Dr. Nan! You’ve given me hope again!!

There's so many things I can say about Nan. The most important of all is that she healed me when western medicine doctors failed me. I was referred to her and I thank God that I was. When I came to her in July I had extreme hot flashes all day and all night (in the summer), my period hadn't came in months, I gained almost 50lbs in a short period of time and was extremely fatigued. Fast forward to now, hot flashes...gone! Period...came back! fatigue...gone! I was going to the bathroom 3-4 times a night and didn't even mention it because it had become normal. Now I sleep through the night like a

I have been going to Dr. Nan for two years now and she has helped ease any ailment I have had. So when my two month old was suffering with severe acid reflux I sought the help of Dr Nan. She used acupuncture ear seeds on him, and after just two treatments he was like a different baby. The reflux was practically gone. He could be put on his back without reflux pain. He was finally happy and comfortable. Thank you Dr. Nan!

I started seeing Dr Nan when I became pregnant because I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis that typically worsens for me as my pregnancies progress. She has helped tremendously not only with pain management in my joints, but also with nausea/morning sickness, headaches, and any other "pregnancy symptom". She can tell exactly where I am hurting… before I say a word. I see her weekly. I did have to skip one week due to family obligations, and I was in substantially more pain that week than I had been the entire pregnancy so far. So that to me proves that it really does work. I was skeptical

I have been struggling with long Covid since March. Insomnia, diarrhea, heart palpitations and even high blood pressure to name a few. After suffering a mini stroke I decided I needed to go back to Dr. Nan. She saved me during Covid with some herbs, and now with long Covid symptoms. She has helped me tremendously with my stroke like symptoms as well as severe stress and anxiety. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. My husband has seen her as well for severe seasonal allergies. He’s usually a big skeptic but he’s now a believer. I’m so thankful to Dr. Nan for her caring ways

I am so thrilled I found Dr. Nan! For years, I have suffered with many chronic health conditions and doctors kept prescribing more medication without any improvement. Then I found Dr. Nan, and after my first few appointments I was feeling better than I have in a long time. She has treated my migraines, TMJ, thyroid health, UC and knee pain. I look forward to going to each visit because it truly helps. Dr. Nan is so knowledgable and a master of healing! I highly recommend her to everyone!

I suffered from systemic health issues for years and saw many doctors, none of which offered any treatment that would lead me back to good health. I started going to Dr. Nan, who started me on acupuncture. She seemed to know exactly what dots to connect to get my systems back in line and working together. I started to feel better. Dr. Nan then started treating me with herbal medicine and my energy improved even more. I would advise anyone with a chronic condition to try Dr. Nan's holistic approach to healing

Dr. Nan is truly amazing. I have been to over 10 sessions and I have never felt better. I look forward to coming to the office. Its so peaceful and serene in the office. The staff is so helpful and kind. Dr. Nan is a master at what she does. Great bedside manner - and truly cares about her patients. You can tell just by spending a few minutes with her or observing her interaction with her patients in the waiting room - to how she interacts with her staff- She has an amazing gift of healing. She looks at your tongue to determine what is causing you to be feeling the way you do. Then she will advise

Dr. Nan is a true healer! From the moment that I met her she had such a calming and healing presence I felt instantly comfortable with her. She explains what she is doing and why. Most importantly she really knows what she is talking about. She checks your tongue every time you go in which something I haven't experienced with other acupuncturist. She told me to check my heart which I've never had an issue with. I had my physical scheduled for a couple of weeks later and found out I had a heart murmur! Amazing! She's helped me quit unhealthy habits, fixed my back when I had a spasm

It seemed to be going well the first few sessions. However in the last session, the acupuncturist had negative comments to say about my tattoos. Undressed and humiliated I had to stay in the session until she came back and removed the needles. I left devastated and crying. Trust people when they show you who they are.

I went here a couple of weeks ago for severe TMJ pain. The space was welcoming and the staff was sweet. The consultation was about 3 minutes. Dr. Nan was very fast. She just wanted to ask what hurt, look at my tongue, and quickly said that I need only 3 consecutive sessions. The price was a little high so I wanted to think about it. It was a little off-putting that she diagnosed me so quickly. I called later that day to schedule my 3 sessions since my pain was unbearable. I went in the next morning for my first session. I've had acupuncture many times in the past for my neck and back, but

Dr.Nan is very knowledgeable professional! She helped me with my back and hip pain over the past few years. I have scoliosis and my back gets inflamed and I have painful muscles spasms 4-5 times per year. Her therapy works like a magic. It relaxing as well. Dr.Nan office is very calming and beautiful with all plants and authentic decor. It doesn't look like a traditional white medical office. I highly recommend to try her services and see it for yourself!

I recently started visiting Dr. Nan's office who was able to help me with things like stress, period pain and preparing for pregnancy. I have had the most horrible Cramps Over the past year and just after one of my very first sessions with Dr. Nan I had a much more comfortable period. I then had a ruptured cyst on my right ovary shortly after getting treatment done which meant my body was changing and that my body was getting ready to open up and let rid of some of the energy in that area. Dr. Nan totally helped me figure out the stuck energy and will be helping me prepare my body for pregnancy

This place is amazing. I've had acupuncture before, but this was most certainly the best experience thus far. I have a series of issues, however I decided I would go mainly for help with depression as a result of multiple trauma. While filing out the questionnaire I neglected to tell her about all my other problems.... once in the exam room, and one look at my tongue she identified this pain in my head I've been dealing with since 2018.... I just given up hope after several MRI's and Cat scans. She also saw I had chronic knee pain. I didn't put this down on any form, but this

I've had chronic back pain from sciatica and herniated discs for years now. I tried everything, from physical therapy to orthopedists to chiropractors, but nothing helped. Coming here was my last chance at healing before getting injections or surgery. I was pretty skeptical at first, but after a few visits my pain went down significantly. I was really surprised to feel such a difference in such a short time! I'm very thankful for Dr. Nan for easing my back pain when no other doctors or medication could.

Update:
I am still headache free since my last review. My treatments have been tailored to focus on gynecological conditions that Dr. Nan believes are the root cause of my headaches. In addition to 100% headache relief, I have seen an improvement in gynecological related pain and discomfort.
The results I have seen have definitely improved my quality of life and improved my mood. I can't thank Dr Nan enough for all she's doing for me and others. I feel it's only right to share my experiences with others in hopes it can help someone else.

I started coming to Dr Nan about a month ago. I had been suffering from lower back pain, sciatica, hip and knee pain for a long time. It was amazing that I felt relief from the very first treatment.
Dr. Nan has also been treating me for weight loss, which at almost 7 years old is very difficult. I have lost a total of 6 pounds since I started a month ago. The hip and knee pain is gone and now I can walk faster. I have more energy and I sleep better.

I am a nurse who has bulging discs in my back. I developed terrible nerve pain in both my legs. I saw a few doctors, tried medication, steroid epidural shots all with no effect. I was even considering surgery. My Physical Therapist suggested I try acupuncture. I went to Ni Nan based on the reviews I read. As you can imagine, I was quite skeptical… that anything would help as I had been suffering for many months. Being a nurse, having trained in only Western medicine, I was not sure this would help. Still, being unsure I was willing to try anything at that point. The office itself, is quite

I have been seeing Dr. Nan for almost a month now. I went to Dr. Nan with a long list of ailments that have had a serious negative impact on my health. I won't list all of my problems... but I will mention a few. I suffered from lower abdominal pains, horrible constipation, and migraines. (Just a few things that I was hopi g she could help me… with) In just a few weeks, she has honestly made miracles happen. My pains are gone, I am "regular" (which is something I never achieved in my life. I have spent the past 39 years of my life constipated. So being "regular" has never been something

I'm a rock singer and songwriter from the area. I've had a great number of issues prior to beginning my sessions with Nan that have greatly influenced the technique I use to sing. Because vocalizing is so physical, and takes as much as energy as an athlete does to play their sport, relaxation is absolutely essential to successfully and safely… singing. I've always struggled to relax (especially since I work overnight), always had issues with sinuses, allergies, acid reflux. You name it and I've probably got it, haha. However, I just started going to Nan last week. And in two sessions I'm

I went to the healing center with a persistemt cough.that required treatment. The following day of my accupuncture session I noticed that the phlegm that had been stored in my lungs began to expel itself . I was shocked to see that I was even emitting clumps of phlegm in my stool. Dr. Ni Nan was effective with just one session but I highly recommend her package deals.

I felt three times and my lumbar spine 1, 2 and 4,5 have been deteriorated. I have been doing the physical therapy but that doesn't help too much. It hurts a lot, I can't sit too long. After my first acupuncture session from Dr Ni Nian, I felt relief immediately. from my job related stress and emotional problems, Dr Ni Nian gave me the treatment on my face, first, I was scare. but after the treatment, I felt more at peace, calm and happy. Thank you very much Dr Ni, you are the best.

Today I took my husband to see Dr.Nan for the first time, he has been suffering for years!! With knots in his shoulders, painful painful knots. It limited him so much and made life difficult. My husband attitude about life has changed so much because he is in this pain. He works and his everyday life is just not what it should be. You can't truly… understand what it is like unless you have lived like this. Today for the first time in nearly 10 YEARS, we feel hope, he felt so much relieve after just one visit that it almost brought him to tears. That's a lot if you knew who my husband is
