China Acupuncture Center's Online Review Report Card

Wanted to try acupuncture for the first time and I’m glad I found this place! Michelle is so experienced being a practicioner for 23 years and also teaching acupuncture at a university in NY. I had my first session with her on Friday and again on Monday for some fatigue and digestive issues. I didn't feel the needles at all and feel better already.

Michele Yu is an amazing healer. Her kindness is matched by her professionalism. Today was my 5th session in 5 weeks, and I feel restored. Looking forward to many more sessions.

I have been seeing Michele for a least 3 years and she is excellent. One time I fractured my foot and was in pain and it was very swollen. After just one treatment the swelling and pain was gone in 3 days. One of the first times I saw her I was very under weight and couldn't gain weight. She was able to to help me gain 10 pounds and now I weigh 110 and looking better Michele is very nice and and I will see her every time I am in New York City twice a year. I live in Michigan and have been to a variety of acupuncturists. I even had acupuncture several times in Bavaria Germany at Germany's oldest Chinese Healing center and Michele is more effective than any I saw at TCM Bad Koesting. I'm so glad I found Michele 💓

Michelle is saving lives here. I went to see her since my arm has been bothering me for weeks. I couldn’t even lift my arm up without feeling the pain. Two sessions and I’m 100% back to normal. She’s a wonderful human being as well which is a huge plus point!

Michelle always gives me great accupuncture - she has helped me and my friends numerous times. I had a bad cold once and was able to board a plane for a business trip after she had treated me. She has also helped another one of my friends when she had a bad fall and covid, and she felt much better after the treatment. Highly recommended!

About 5 months ago I injured my neck and back through lifting weights incorrectly. The pain in both areas were constantly on my mind. I tried getting massages and I also bought a handheld massage device. While both the in person massages and electronic massages were able to identify knots, tension, etc, I’m 99% they made no progress on the cause of my pain and likely just moved around my knots and inflammation. I worried that this pain would never be solved and would become a part of my life as it only seemed to worsen with time. I decided to research acupuncture, something I had never tried before, and found Michelle’s practice with tons of reviews of Michelle healing neck and back pain, and so I decided to give it a try. I’ve now done three acupuncture sessions with Michelle, where we added cupping to the end of the sessions, and I have not felt this good in months. Spry if you will! Michelle is incredibly talented and detail oriented. She pressed along my back to find tension and pain points, and revealed to me that when I told her I was mostly feeling pain in my upper back and neck, that I was actually also feeling pain in my lower back. She was right. It wasn’t until after my first session, when my pain dramatically lowered, that I could actually identify where the remaining pain was in my back. I cannot thank Michelle enough for her work! I hope that this review reaches other first time acupuncture patients (or seasoned!) who are in need of Michelle’s talents.

Dr. Michelle and her acupuncture is amazing. I have suffered with sciatic pain for over a year. However, after two sessions with Dr. Michelle the relief has been amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Michelle and her treatments.

I first came to see Michelle about 6 weeks after a pretty gnarly ski accident, and I was trying everything with no relief (physical therapy, stretching for an hour plus everyday, massages, etc). I was still unable to fall asleep without advil PM and was waking up at 4am in excruciating pain every night. The night after my first session I slept through the night and felt hope that I wasn't going to be hobbling around like an old lady for the foreseeable future!! Michelle is so generous with her time and attention. She uses about 2-3x the amount of needles of any acupuncturist I have been to. Not to mention she uses the tiniest (aka the most expensive) needles, so it feels just like a tiny rubber band snapping against your skin. I swear she has super powers the way she can predict exactly what spot needs to be punctured (even if you have no clue yourself!). I think one of the most obvious examples of the immediate benefits of working with Michelle I noticed is my stomach starts rumbling like crazy as soon as she places the needles -- the increase in blood flow to the digestive organs regardless of the area we are working on and the way my body clicks into "rest and digest mode" is SO cool and makes me a true believer in Michelle's magic. I could go on and on, but the TLDR is run, don't walk!

Dr Yu treated my persistent shoulder pain that was bothering me for over five years. I was not able to raise my left arm over my head before treatment without tremendous pain. Now after two treatments the pain has essentially disappeared and I have recovered the range of motion in my left arm. She also treated my chest and back pain in previous sessions and the pain has not returned. I’m glad I found Dr Yu and would highly recommend her, even for people like me who never tried acupuncture before.

Excellent Acupuncture service. Highly recommend to any to needs.
