Acupuncture is a complete medical protocol focused on correcting imbalances of energy in the body. From its inception in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture has been used traditionally to prevent, diagnose and treat disease, as well as to improve general health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force known as Qi (chee), believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body.By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that the energy flow will re-balance.

Acupuncture is a complex branch of ancient Chinese medicine, but its practical principals and methods are easily understood. A subtle energy called Qi (pronounced chee) circulates via the meridians to all of the body even the most remote cells. Qi is the vital force, and though Qi is invisible, its presence becomes apparent in the workings of the bodily organs and systems which require a lot of energy.
Dr. Roy Chen was the best traditional Chinese doctor I have ever met! Me and my mom have seen many Chinese traditional doctors before, None of them worked.!I have severe dysmenorrhea (painful period), it s been bothering me for the past 15 years and nothing will work when the cramp comes. With Dr. Roy Chinese herb medicine, I can actually function the whole day without passing out.

I would give Dr. Chen a 10 star if I could! He radically eased my sciatica pain only after a few acupuncture sessions. He truly knows his stuff!
I herniated my disc after a brutal hike two weeks ago. And after about a week of dealing with it which includes and not limited to taking at least 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, taking hot baths, and stretching, I still found myself hunched over many times waiting for the pain to subside before i can walk or stand up again. The pain was borderline unbearable (and for those who have ever experienced sciatica, you know what I'm talking about

Dr Chen is an attentive and thorough practitioner. He makes you feel so relaxed and can help with literally ANY problem. I send my husband to him for pain from a car crash and I go for work related body pains. I would highly recommend visiting him if you wish for alternative treatment that really works.

I've always been curious about trying acupuncture.
After meeting and talking with Dr. Roy I was open to trying a session. I was surprised when I didn't feel any pain when the needles were being placed. I felt an intense feelings of well-being and happiness that I haven't felt in years. My mind was clear and free of daily stress, my body felt euphoric and relaxed. Acupuncture can help with so many things weight loss, fatigue, arthritis, back pain... I highly recommend checking out Dr. Roy and discussing any concerns you might have about health!

Dr. Chen is BEST acupuncturist in LA. I was suffering abnormal hormone, and my period hadn't came about 2 months. I only try the acupuncture therapy for one time. My period came the second day. And I sleep very well at night. The acupuncture really WORKS. I saw so many patients who have allergy and wants to lose weight in Dr.Chen clinic. They all happy for the result. Definitely, I will keep visiting Dr Chen. The best thing is he takes PPO insurance.

This Thursday when I got up, I strained my back muscle and couldn't raise my left arm. Dr. Roy did acupuncture on me and I immediately felt my pain decrease and I was able to lift my arm up again. Dr Roy is very knowledgeable and experienced. He talked to me about different ways to take care of muscle stress. I would highly recommend visiting him.

After struggling with bad shoulder pain and insomnia for a year, I have had the true benefit of being treated by Dr Roy. The results I have experienced are DRAMATIC! For the first time in over a year, I do not feel consumed with pain, have had significant improvement with sleep. I am truly fascinated by the depth of Dr Roy’s knowledge, his passion for sharing it, and his gentle and compassionate manner.Thanks again Dr Roy,I would definitely recommend him to all of my friends!!!

Dr. Chen is a very patient and experienced doctor. All along, I never liked taking medicine. I only saw a doctor when I felt very bad. A cough and a sore throat this time has been for a long time. After a friend's recommendation, I went to see Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen asked me all the conditions and told me that acupuncture can help my symptoms. I'm… willing to give it a try. On the first time, it was on my left hand, it made me very nervous and there was some pain. That night I felt better in my throat, but I still had a cough. After a day, I went again, this time for acupuncture on right hand

Highly recommend Dao Acupuncture. Dr. Roy as he took the time to customize an individual plan of treatment just for me. He tried various techniques to help relieve me from back pain and insomnia. He also educated me on how the body reacts when things get out of balance. I always felt very comfortable and relaxed after a session.

Dr. Chen is an amazing physician in Chinese medicine and I have been coming to him ever since I was recommended by my peers. He is a highly knowledgeable professional that listens to my concerns and sensitive to my needs. When I first saw him for my neck and back spasms, he explained his course of treatment and plan that he would provide for me. His technique of cupping and needle placement made my condition diminish and helped relax my whole body! I also have indigestion problems (abdominal pain, nausea ) which I explained to him and his methods have alleviated all my symptoms. I strongly encourage

Doing my routine acupuncture treatments with Dr.Roy three times a week, I feel so much better than before. I fell out of bed one morning and broke one of my ribs, and hurt my back really bad. The pain was excruciating! The doctor said there's nothing I can do but just rest in bed and let the bone recovery slowly. I'm just so glad that I found Dr.Roy thru one of my friends who is also his patient, he told me that Acupuncture would help me recover sooner. I'm still recovering, but I can finally lift stuff and doing works at the third week. I did acupuncture, cupping and Moxibustion

Dr Roy is a very experienced physician in Chinese medicine. I was in his weight loss regiment sessions since April and we worked together to lose approx 35lb. My BMI has dropped from 31 to 25 (from obese to normal weight). He is very patient and encourages me not to give up throughout the weight loss regiment.

Before I came here, every time I have my period there was so much blood. In fact it would keep going on for 7 to 10 days! I would get headaches and when I stand up I would feel dizzy! It's been bothering me for many years and nothing got better. When I came to DAO Acupuncture Clinic Dr. Roy gave me an acupuncture treatment and mysteriously it felt better! So whatever I bleed for more than 5 days, I go to Dr. Roy so I can get some more acupuncture and feel better. After his treatment my head wouldn't hurt anymore! By the way, once I had a sore throat and I went to ask Dr. Roy about it

Dr. Chen is incredible, I highly recommend DAO Acupuncture Clinic. This was my first time trying acupuncture. I was suffering from sharp abdominal pain for over 2 weeks. I went to visit my primary medical physician and was prescribed medication for pain and nausea, however the symptoms continued to persist. My co-worker recommended that I visit DAO acupuncture. I was a bit apprehensive and skeptical at first since I have never done acupuncture before, but after visiting Dr. Roy Chen, I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of this therapy. Dr. Chen was quick to diagnosis my problem and quickly
