Patient Testimonials: "I began seeing Gina in July 2009 for carpel tunnel in both my wrists and for migraine pain. When I first began seeing Gina, I was wearing a wrist guard on both wrists at night to alleviate the carpal tunnel pain. The wrist guards were not as effective as they were when I first began wearing them one year ago. It's now mid-September and I no longer need to sleep with my wrist guards and rarely suffer wrist pains. I have been suffering migraines for several years and was taking a daily preventative pill plus a separate pill when a migraine started. Today, I no longer experience migraine headaches and I am free of my medications! I recently caught a cold and Gina was able to alleviate my general aches and pains right away. She also recommended some Chinese herbs which shortened the cold symptoms significantly. I have been nothing but pleased with the care I've received from Gina and her staff and I would recommend acupuncture to anyone. Thank you." J.M., age 40 "I could feel improvement from the first visit. It could have been from the treatment, herbs, and following through on stretching and breathing, and relaxing at home. I have continued taking Tong Xue Pian and will take Chinese herbs now, as they seem to be helping me from the inside out." N.D., age 67 "I had shoulder pain plus a chronic issue on my neck due to the nature of my work for some time. I tried chiropractic in the past but it didn't seem to cure the problem. As time went by, the situation got worse. A few weeks ago, I decided to try acupuncture. When I first called to determine costs, Tom did a really good job of explaining what they do and offered me a free consultation. So, I came in and got a thorough examination by Gina. After that, she recommended a treatment plan for me. And after just a few visits, I have already noticed a significant improvement in my range of motion. I'm very happy with the experience so far and am looking forward to be fully recovered in a few months." A.M., age 33 "I am a 54 year old male. Electrician by trade. I was seriously injured while at work. While working from an 8 foot ladder, a construction worker driving a fork lift backed through my ladder forcing my body to bounce off the roof of this fork lift and onto the cement floor. This fall dislocated my right shoulder and caused pain in my mid back. After surgery to my right shoulder and many therapy sessions, I returned to work. I began to experience pain again in my mid back and left shoulder. This pain became more intense. Mid shoulder pain shot down into my left triceps muscle and into my forearm and fingers. As pain increased, I sought help from my family doctor. Two months passed, one MRI, two visits with a muscle specialist, five visits with a chiropractor--no relief. Imagine somebody holding a lit match close to your armpit with another lit match at the tips of your middle, ring, and little finger. I would sit or lay with gelled ice bags, one under my arm and one wrapped around my hand. My doctor had increased my medications each visit. My daily doses were, three 800mg IBU protein, six Vicodin, and two morphine. For sleep, I was given sleeping pills and Lisinopril for the high blood pressure the pain was creating. The weekend before I met with Gina, my wife had to take me to the emergency room because the pain was so intense. After four hours of waiting, the doctor finally saw me. After looking at my history of the past two months and seeing the medication I was taking, he told me that there wasn't anything he could do for me. He had sympathy but no medical help. He actually said there wasn't anything he could do and that I would just have to live with the discomfort. DISCOMFORT? The pain had taken over my life. Thankfully, my wife pushed on. First thing Monday morning, she called to ask for a referral to see an acupuncturist. We were granted this referral. An appointment was made at All About Wellness of Tualatin to see Gina Chang. In the very first visit I was a new man. You could just tell that she was caring and extremely knowledgeable. We left that day knowing that we were not going to have to live in chronic pain. I was off all the narcotic drugs for pain and able to sleep pain free without sleeping pills. Gina has given me my life back and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I didn't know the value of acupuncture...now I do!" J.G., age 55 "I am a 64 year old female. I was in generally good health, until last year when I went to the doctor for my annual physical. I got shockingly bad news, my blood work numbers were the highest they had ever been. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a diagnosis of pre-diabetes. "Why doom oneself to ill health if it can be prevented?", was my thinking. I did two 9-day Isagenix Cleanses, followed by a 30-day Cleanse. The results were astounding. A 35 pound weight loss, great readings for cholesterol and blood pressure, and no more diagnosis of pre-diabetes. My doctor was amazed. She wanted to know if I had been sneaking medicine on the side. Now, I no longer experience migraine headaches and am free of medications. I look great and feel great. All I did was follow the easy program. If I can do it, anyone can do it." P.W., age 64 "I was very nervous about the needle aspect--I do not like the thought of needles--but to my surprise, I found them not to hurt or cause pain. I've been coming about 4 months--there has been great improvement--less pain, more ability to move around--especially getting out of bed in the morning. One unexpected side effect is that my allergies have almost totally disappeared. The massage and stretching exercises also help to eliminate pain and stress. I've been recommending treatment to family and friends because I am totally sold on this type of therapy." S.O., 65 "My sinuses are much clearer and I do not have as much congestion.The sinus pain is less, too, since coming here. My bowel movements are also improved." B.A., 70 “Two years ago, I was in an auto accident and again recently. I compared all my treatments and I strongly recommend auto accident victims try acupuncture. It has turned my life around from the horribly injured person I was, to living the life of total health and wellness I had envisioned." D.O., 54 "Gina is the best practitioner I've ever had. She provides outstanding care and her technique is extremely effective. Out of all the care I have ever received, my body has responded the fastest to her treatment. Gina is kind and empathetic, listens well, and adapts treatment to my specific needs. She answers all of my questions thoroughly, and she also looks into different areas of life in order to provide whole body healthcare." 2007 Patient Survey Participant "I could barely walk when I came to Ageless Path Wellness Clinic. My MRI showed a bulging disk and I had numbness in my left thigh and pain in my knee and foot. After 4 weeks of treatment (7 visits), I have no pain. I can actually get up from sitting without fear of pain in my leg and foot!" L.R., 50 "When Western medicine failed to help--I turned to Ageless Path. I wish I hadn't waited so long! I had a very obvious physical symptom that doctors & medication had tried for years to get under control. Gina had it taken care of within a couple of weeks. I can't recommend her highly enough!" L.S., 39 "I had been having migraines for several months and things that had worked out in the past were no longer working. So, I decided to look for alternatives to help treat them. I decided to try acupuncture which is when I found Ageless Path Wellness Clinic. After the first couple of treatments my headaches were gone. I have been nothing but pleased with the care I've received and I would recommend acupuncture to anyone." E.W., age 27 "After my stroke last April 2007, I felt as though my progress and recovery had come to a standstill. Then I came to see Gina. She has helped restore complete movement to my left arm and left leg and my energy level has returned. Even my physical therapist is amazed at my recovery!" S.W., age 58 "Treatments are great. I feel loosened up and relaxed after treatment. Overall, my back feels better and I don't feel like it is one step away from injury anymore." C.B., age 45 "Acupuncture has made a difference in the muscle and joint pain that I have been experiencing. My overall energy has improved as well. It is obvious that Gina is a master of what she does and can make a difference." D.B., age 40 “I appreciate the professional time taken to understand my needs as a patient. The staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable." J.C., age 59 "I came in to get work done to stop making my arm be sore or go numb. Within two months, I have no more problems. I experience no pain and it causes me no more trouble. Coming here has been wonderful. It's the best help for my arm and back I've ever had." L.K., age 16 "I have been so pleased with my experience here at Ageless Path. When I first came, I thought a massage would be sufficient, but Gina has been teaching me so much about all the ways to better my body. The acupuncture treatments I have been receiving have been incredible and I can't wait to see how much more my wellness will improve. Thank you Thom & Gina!" E.H., age 23 "My acupuncture treatments have been very pleasant. My sleep pattern has greatly improved. My equilibrium is back to normal and my overall health is much better. Many thanks." M.R., age 71 "I highly recommend Gina's acupuncture therapy. I am going through chemotherapy for breast cancer and have had little--or any--side effects that most women go through. My energy is high and I feel great. For me, it has almost been miraculous that I haven't succumbed to the bad effects of chemo--thanks to Gina!" V.C., age 53 "I have been going to Gina Chang for two years. I really think she has improved my health and the treatment is great. [I have not needed] to see a medical doctor in the last two years." 2007 Patient Survey Participant "When I first came to this clinic I had a very stiff foot and very little flexibility due to foot surgery. After 2 weeks, I was able to move my foot much more freely and without as much pain. So far, it has been very beneficial and I will continue my treatments. I have never had acupuncture before and was nervous, but overall it has been a positive and healing experience." C.S., age 55 "I first started seeing Gina a few weeks ago after my surgery for a herniated disk. I had numbness on the ball of my left foot and an occasional sharp pain in my left leg to my toes. I had treatment two times a week of acupuncture, massage, and stretching exercises. After 3 weeks of treatment, both the sharp pain and numbness in my foot has disappeared. I would definitely recommend Gina Chang's acupuncture to help alleviate pain."--C.I., age 50 "I am doing a series of massage treatments to reduce or eliminate frequent pain in my hips and lower back. Dea, the licensed massage therapist, quickly identified the tight muscles which were causing my problems. She first works on getting you totally relaxed. My back is doing better. She is by far the best massage therapist I've ever had. She knows every muscle in your body. The atmosphere is very casual and friendly." S.S., age 65 "I came in with very minimal movement in my neck and had tendonitis in my shoulder and, after my first visit with Gina, I was able to move my neck and shoulder with zero pain and felt great. Thom was very good to work with as far as getting my insurance to cover the cost and spend as little as possible out-of-pocket." N.V., age 27 “How can one explain the relief I feel after just 4 treatments with Gina? I came in frozen with back pain, unable to relax the muscles. Not only did she release the tension in my back, but she dulled the burning pain from a protruding disc.” S.S., age 42 "Gina Chang took time to understand my problem and worked on my body as a whole to relieve my pain and increase my range of motion. I highly recommend acupuncture and especially Gina Chang at Ageless Path Wellness Clinic." M.T., age 46 "After suffering the repercussions of 6 severe automobile accidents, feeling that there was no light at the end of the tunnel, Gina is that beacon I have been needing. I received so much relief after one visit, unlike treatment from other specialists prior to meeting Gina. She gives incredible care to her patients." L.S., age 53 “Thank you Ageless Path Wellness Clinic! The pain and weakness in my right arm had become so bad I could barely lift the telephone receiver. After just a few sessions, my arm healed dramatically and now it is fully restored—all without drugs and medications. I can play the guitar again!” S.C., age 44 “I have always been skeptical of any non-western medicine. However, I was increasingly frustrated that I was not getting relief from my chronic migraines. I decided to try acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and I have become a believer! I have never felt better. My migraines are gone, my blood pressure is lower and I am sleeping better." S.Y., age 41 "I have only been seeing Gina for a couple months to work on my chronic allergies. It is my hope that over time I will be able to stop taking or reduce the allergy shots and medications I am currently taking. Gina checks with me at the beginning of each session to see if there are any other issues she can work on in addition to the allergies. She is great at suggesting other ways I can help myself to improve my health." 2007 Patient Survey Participant “I am very impressed with the high quality of personal care I received at the clinic. The entire staff is warm, caring, and with a high degree of expertise. My intense back pain was alleviated after only several visits.” J.S., age 55 “I am so relaxed after treatment for my carpel tunnel and diabetes! And it works well with my health provider.” S.S., age 54 “Treatment is customized to one’s needs with sensitivity and a very personal regard—just what I needed.” P.L., age 65 “My health, specific and in general, has improved by leaps and bounds since I started treatment here. Long-term problems that other medicines haven’t been able to help have changed into minor and infrequent occurrences. It’s a relief to have for the first time treatments that actually alleviate painful symptoms.” B.G., age 25 “Very accommodating! Specific to my needs. Friendly, caring, encouraging, for overall healthy practices—relaxing and comfortable—wish I could go more often!" E.C., age 30 “Before I tried acupuncture, my neck still had lots of pain with very severe limited range of motion even after 2 months of other therapies. Gina helped me to ease up my pain and immediately improved my range of motion by 45% after one acupuncture treatment. I am very impressed!” D.S., age 45 “My pain was gone after my first treatment and my range of motion was restored.” C.M., age 30 “I have truly enjoyed the experience at Ageless Path. We are working on several problems but I am feeling better after just one session. I had a great fear of needles, but there isn't any real pain involved. I am hoping to get off all meds and feel healthy again.” G.H., age 47 “Extremely professional experience each visit with the results I need to live life each day with the least amount of back pain as possible. I feel rejuevenated after each visit.” J.B., age 25 "Very, Very good. Excellent treatment. I was in constant pain and couldn't function without braces on my hands. The doctors would not operate on my hands because I was not a good candidate for surgery and now I do not use braces and I am great." 2007 Patient Survey Participant “The treatments have been very helpful. Gina is knowledgeable and compassionate. I have gradually increased flexibility and health.” N.T., age 38
