- ArthritisI have had RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) for 30 years, causing deformities of my hands and feet, resulting in acute pain and limited range of motion. I noticed definite improvement after a few acupuncture treatments, and now that I’ve completed 13 treatments I am experiencing greatly reduced pain and increased functionality. I am walking better than I have in years! It’s obvious that Rona Bian is an expert in her field as a Licensed Acupuncturist and I am grateful for all she has done for me. Rona and her assistant are extremely kind and caring professionals. Thank you for a very positive experience!
- Medical Weight LossAccording to theory of Chinese medicine, fat tissue is from excess dampness lodged in the skin and muscle. There are several ways to eliminate this dampness from the body. The most effective method is to increase the body's basal metabolic rate and improve the processing of water and fluids by strengthening specific organ functions in the body. The two most commonly used treatment methods for promoting weight loss in traditional Chinese medicine are acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
- Pediatric CareEastern medicine (acupuncture, moxibustion, theory and diagnostics of TCM, herbology, Tui Na, internal medicine, trauma, pediatrics and women's health) and Western medicine (anatomy, biology, pathology, gynecology, internal medicine, pharmacology)
- Emergency CareAfter graduating from medical school, I served for 17 years as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in inpatient, outpatient and emergency room departments at HeDong Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital. During this time, I served as a physician, and also supervised every aspect of the Internal Medicine Department. As a supervisor, I was responsible for training over 50 new medical school graduates as they transitioned from classroom theory, to the reality of treating real patients with serious illnesses. After 15 years of working in this capacity, I was promoted to Chief of Staff of Traditional Chinese Medicine. With this promotion came greater supervisory and training responsibilities. As a result, I specialized in the difficult cases that physicians were not comfortable treating, including cancer.

- MRIRona made my back better! After 2 years of work with a chiropractor I finally was granted an MRI to see what was going on with my back. The MRI showed 4 bulging discs, severe stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. I had debilitating leg pain. I tried a steroid injection. No help. I finally submitted to the idea of surgery. But the neurosurgeon I visited in Colorado Springs studied my MRI and concluded I was “Too far gone—too unstable” for surgery. He suggested I engage in pain management. ”Maybe you could try acupuncture,” the surgeon suggested! I am a 47 year old airline pilot, ex-military pilot. I wanted relief from the pain, no matter how I got the relief.
- SciaticaI was not looking forward to the allergy/asthma season this year. I had given up on allergy pills and inhalers because of severe side effects. Being an avid gardener, the thought of not being able to be outside for fear of an asthma attack was very upsetting. I decided to see if Rona could help me. After several treatments, I can say that sailed through spring, summer, and into fall without any asthma attacks and only very mild allergy symptoms. No pills, no side effects. The treatments were pleasant and relaxing. Dr. Rona is delightful, knowledgeable professional. She has also taken care of the occasional aches and pains this gardener gets and headed off a bout of sciatica in one treatment. I recommend her to all my friends.
- Acne TreatmentAs a teenager I had nice skin, very few blemishes. At 25 I broke out with severe adult acne. Over the past seven years I have tried almost every acne treatment available, from over the counter creams to chemical peels to prescribed creams and antibiotics. While some of treatments did provide some temporary relief, nothing had truly cleared my face. About 8 months ago I started seeing Rona. She began treating my acne with acupuncture and herbs. I started seeing improvement with 2 weeks and now my face is clear. There are no words that can express my gratitude to Rona. I can, without any doubt or hesitation, highly recommend Rona for treatment.
- EczemaAllergies are the body's overreaction to those allergens in the environment and in food. Normally, the weaker the immune system and the greater the imbalance of the body, the stronger the reactions.These allergic reactions cause some degree of inflammation, which in turn, weakens the body.The severity of the allergic reaction can range anywhere from itchy eyes, sneezing and runny nose to skin reactions such as eczema or hives.In some cases it can be so severe as to cause a life-threatening obstruction of the airways.
- Chemical Peels
- Occupational TherapyThere are others who, not being comfortable with the side effects or other related issues to that approach, try non-drug approaches to help relieve their pain. Examples of that include physical and occupational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-care techniques, and CAM therapies such as spinal manipulation or acupuncture.
