Julie Cao Acupuncture Clinic

I would like to share a real story. About a year ago, I hurt my elbow during a tennis play. The tennis elbow bothered me quite a bit. I had constant pain and couldn't even hold an empty cup with the arm extending out. After 3 times cortisone shots, the symptom was still there, no change. Then I visited Bay Area famous sports doctors and had CT scan. The diagnoses was elbow tendon rupture, the only treatment was surgery. Since the surgery is quite invasive and expected recovery would take 9 months.

When I consulted Dr. Cao, she suggested me to try Chinese medicine treatment first, and made a treatment plan for me. After two rounds of treatments, the pain started diminishing, I could extend my arm without much pain. After another two rounds of treatments, I could lift light weighs. The effectiveness of treatment was amazing, far beyond my expectation. Now I can play tennis again after three months of treatments.

I am grateful to Dr. Cao for her caring and her expertise to avoid a unnecessary surgery on my elbow. I highly recommend Dr. Cao to everyone who needs pain relief and treatments.
