I came to Dr. Lys office after years of suffering from various conditions. I had been referred by a friend but waited because I was afraid to try it. The event that pushed me out of my comfort zone...a visit to the Mayo clinic where I was told that I was pretty much as good as I would ever be unless I tried a $7,000 course that would help me to feel pretty good most days. Pretty good most days was not acceptable! I called Dr. Lys office and made the appointment. I walked out that day feeling better than I had in five years. They have given me back a quality of life that I had forgotten. Dont wait another day. Let them help you!!!

Dr. Ly, along with Dr. Zhao and the whole practice staff, are truly remarkable. Any doubts you may have about trying acupuncture will be put to rest after your first treatment. No pain, no questionable tactics, no nonsense. These folks are incredible and are very professional; this region is extremely lucky to have their acupuncture practices nearby. No one is just a ‘number’ to this group of providers; everyone is treated and cared for like family.

When I came to this office I was grasping for anything to help me with pain relief. I was suffering from phantom pains after my arm amputation. I was having memory and PTSD issues with the pain. Until I came here. I came 2 times a week for a while until things started to let up. Now I am down to once a week. I have been having these pains since 2015 when I loss my arm in a accident. I am so thankful that I found these people and will always be grateful for the work they do. All of the staff is super friendly. 10/10 would recommend. If you have any pain or health issues that acupuncture could be helpful please stop in and give it try. You will not regret it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ly Natural Health Clinic for several months. I suffered severe muscles and nerves pains. My pain level was extremely high. I couldn’t manage to do anything because of the pain. Since acupuncture treatments my pain levels has greatly been reduced. Dr. Zhao and the staff helped me get my pain under control and improved my quality of life. I cannot express my gratitude toward him. I highly recommend anyone suffering from chronic pains to try Dr Ly Natural Health.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”-Arthur C. ClarkeTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has certainly fit into this quote by Clarke for over eight thousand years. I’m a sixty five year old retired engineer and veteran, who has suffered from chronic back pain due to various genetic and injury modalities. Needless to say this pain has become much worse with age.My quest for relief has taught me that you can’t rely on the pharmacological remedies presented by modern western medicine as they often only replace the pain with another subset of issues (addiction, bleeding and organ damage) additionally the human body tends to build a tolerance to these chemical compounds thereby reducing their efficacy. This chemical performance demands increasing dosages and compound variation to create the illusion of relief. With an ultimate result of the pain still being present along with the issues brought about by the drugs. Not a positive or desirable treatment outcome at all.I learned of acupuncture from two acquaintances positive experiences with treatment for musculoskeletal issues and made a point of giving it a try. I’m very glad that I did! My results have been nothing short of miraculous my back and sciatic pain has been diminished tremendously. I commend the Veterans Administration offering this treatment option and I hope it is accepted as a first line treatment option going forward. The staff of Dr. Ly Natural Health is very knowledgeable of this ancient form of medicine. They are quite sensitive to patient needs and exemplify the highest standards of care and compassion. This is indeed nothing short of magic in my opinion and I would certainly not hesitate to recommend Dr. Ly and his staff to anyone seeking drug free relief from pain. Keep up the good work!

My experience with acupuncture has been a pleasant experience. I have had chronic shoulder pain for several years. I like the overall approach with my treatment. Treating the current issue combined with the whole body has given me better overall health. Would recommend others try acupuncture for chronic pain.

I’m new to acupuncture and it has been a great experience. I highly recommend it. Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao really listen to you and want to help get your whole body to be the healthiest it can be. It is not painful - they are very gentle and precise with the needles, always informing you exactly what they are doing, and making sure you are comfortable and not hurting. The nurses are also very kind and helpful. It is definitely worth it!

I would certainly recommend Dr. Ly’s office for Acupuncture care. This was my first time experiencing Acupuncture care and I must say it really does reset you internal system. I went in for various issues and left feeling better overall. The doctors besides manner was outstanding. They exhibited patience and extreme care and concern in resolving my medical concerns. Kudos to Dr. Zhao for going above and beyond the call of duty.

I will share my personal journey as a testimony to the incredible care this staff provides. I originally sought treatment for digestive issues. I was desperate for relief, and felt helpless after many visits to a primary care physician. The initial phone call was pleasant and welcoming. I felt they understood my desperation, and quickly fit me in. Upon arrival, I knew I had made the right choice. I immediately felt heard and cared for. I was relieved of my symptoms after just a few sessions. Dr. Zhao even reached out over the weekend to see how I was responding to the treatment. I have since returned for symptoms of anxiety and seasonal depression. (It is important to note that it is my personal preference to refrain from taking any psychotropic medications.) The effectiveness of the acupuncture treatment alongside herbal supplements has been incredible. I feel more energetic, peaceful, and clear-minded. Physically my muscles have relaxed, and I rest easily! Acupuncture has been a game changer for me.

I have been seeing Dr. Zhao for almost a year now and was my first experience with acupuncture. I can tell a huge difference in my overall well-being as compared to my life before acupuncture. My energy is higher, my mental health has improved, as well as my physical health! Dr. Zhao and Karen make me feel so comfortable during each visit and Dr. Zhao always answers all my questions and concerns. The entire staff is absolutely kind and welcoming! I recommend EVERYONE to come to Dr. Ly’s Natural Health center.

I had my very first acupuncture by Dr. Ly at Natural Health a few months ago. Its a great experience and felt immediately relief of my chronic neck and shoulder pain. I have been regularly visiting this clinic since then, and Dr. Zhao is equally great, professional to work with. The treatments are not painful at all. The staff is also super friendly and easy to work with. It has been very relaxing and pain-relieving experience for me. I highly recommend it, you will not regret!

After being injured in Afghanistan, I spent a considerable amount of time at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. My injuries were primarily skeletal as well as a Traumatic Brain Injury. While there, we tried many things to achieve improvements and I was initially introduced to Acupuncture Therapy. I saw some minimal improvements there, but only was introduced for a few sessions. Once I was able to come home to Huntsville, I saw my improvements wain using traditional approaches, (ie. Medicinal Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy). I was at a point in my recovery where I had plateaued in improvements. Through encouragement of my wife, I reluctantly said, OK, Ill try Acupuncture again. My evaluation from Doctors Ly and Zhao was thorough and a treatment plan was tailored specifically for me. Little did I know, this teams therapy was going to be a game-changer for me! I have been treated for about three months now, and I have seen continuous improvements with regular visits and this approach has allowed me to reduce medicinal pain management and ultimately has improved my quality of life. I am now a true believer in this therapy and am so grateful for the commitment of this team! I would strongly encourage anyone who is struggling with pain to do what I did, and explore this therapy! It may very well be a game-changer for you too!

I was first introduced to acupuncture when I was 10-12 years old, living in California. My brother and I had Tourette Syndrome growing up, with no solutions in sight. My parents decided to try acupuncture, after it had helped my father with chronic pain. Within 5 months, acupuncture helped us both more than anything prior.Now to current day -Around a year ago, I had gone through a very stressful period in life, and my anxiety and stress were at levels unimaginable by myself. I wont go into detail, but I tried everything. I went to my doctor, and they wanted to put me on prescriptions. I decided to tell my doctor I wanted to go a more natural route, as I did not want to be dependent on that. (Not saying that would be the right choice for everyone, but it was the right choice for myself)I had tests done, to rule out any other physical health issues (Heart, stomach, etc.), and all of them came back clear. I had a high resting heart rate, around 90, but that was about it. It all came back to them wanting to have me put on prescriptions. It was at that time, I remembered what helped me in years past.After 4-5 months I could really tell a difference in my anxiety and stress levels and how I was able to handle them. I am glad to say that now going close to one year, I am back to my normal self. Additionally, my overall health feels better than it has in a very long time. There is truth and healing in acupuncture, and this is the best place I know of for it.Dr. Zhao has been treating me since I arrived last February. He is very knowledgeable in his practice, and has a listening ear. He has helped me so much the past year, and I dont have enough kind words to describe him. He will go out of his way to help, and has become a good friend.All in all, if you are on the fence on whether to give acupuncture a try, I think my testimony speaks for itself. It is not a miracle cure, and will take time, so please give it the chance it needs.

When I can to this office I was grasping for anything to help me with pain relief. I was suffering from chronic complex migraines. My vision would leave me, anytime the air pressure changed the more pressure I would have in my head. I quit my day job because I was having memory and cognitive issues. I had background pain in my head even on my good days. Until I came here. I came daily for a while until things started to let up. Now I am down to once a week. And my head is back to normal! I am even looking for work again! I am so thankful that I found these people and will always be grateful for the work they do. All of the staff is super friendly. 10/10 would recommend. If you have migraines please stop in and give it it try. You will not regret it.

Dr. Zhao at Dr. Ly Natural Health Inc. has been treating me with acupuncture for about a year with great success. He has brought my blood pressure down to where it needs to be for my age. I have had acid reflux for many years and after his treatments I am now free of it without medication! He took care of pain in my hip and neck and the numbness in my fingers. I never knew acupuncture could successfully treat so many different ailments. I have great confidence in it and would recommend it to anyone! Dr. Zhao is gentle and compassionate and his staff is kind and caring. I would much rather take acupuncture than fill my body with chemicals that have lots of side effects!

Since going to Dr. Lys Clinic, my health problems have improved very much. Dr Ly and Dr. Zhao are excellent at what they do. No matter what my problem is they relieve the pain in a matter of moments. They work so well on my pain that I have a tendency to fall asleep while the needles are in. Ive had a bad circulation problem in my lower legs. Since being treated my circulation have improved greatly. Also Im normally very paranoid about needles, but here I have no fear or pain from them while Im here. A slight sting once in a blue moon. Their also covered through the V.A. which is a Blessing!

I came to Dr. Ly’s office after having a litany of health problems—stomach, skin, sinus and cholesterol issues. My primary care physicians were at a loss as to what was going on, but Dr. Ly was adamant that acupuncture could help. And it did. I primarily see Dr. Zhao who is always professional and explains every part of the process to make sure the patient is comfortable and getting the best treatment possible. My issues greatly improved and I even have test results and bloodwork from my primary care doctor showing my health is improving with acupuncture. I have been going since July 2019 and will continue to go.

Dr Ly and Dr Zhao are the best. I have psoriatic arthritis and when I stared in November I had horrible bone and joint pain and could barely put weight on my ankles and feet. Now I have almost no pain! The nurses are very nice and everybody makes you feel comfortable.

I decided to obtain help for my arthritic knee from Dr. Ly Natural Health Clinic in December of 2019. An orthopedic surgeon told me that my knee joints were bone on bone, and the only relief at this time was shots in my knee as needed and eventually knee replacement surgery. Several co-workers suggested the option of acupuncture treatments from Dr. Ly Natural Health Clinic and shared their personal experiences. Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao have improved my arthritic knee., so I no longer experience any knee pain. Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao and their staff are pleasant and helpful in understanding acupuncture treatments. They have my best interest in mind. If you are having pain issues, I would highly recommend exploring acupuncture as a viable treatment option.

My first experience with acupuncture was with Dr. Ly. He helped me to get rid of my debilitating hot flashes. I did not want to use hormone therapy due to the potential risks, but I was unable to sleep at night due to the high number of hot flashes. Unfortunately, lack of sleep was starting to affect my overall health. I was able to begin seeing results with a week of treatment.I recently saw Dr. Zhao for tingling and numbness in my arm and hand and after several months of treatment I am happy to say that all tingling and numbness is gone and I have full functionality and strength in that arm/hand. I plan to see them on a monthly basis for harmony and balance. I just feel so much healthier overall.

I highly recommend this clinic. After being told my only option was hip replacement surgery, I was looking for pain relief from hip dysplasia. Dr. Zhao tailored acupuncture treatment to not only help manage my pain but to also increase the quality of my overall health. Dr. Zhao has helped me so much. The entire staff is very kind and professional.

Its quite difficult to put into words what Dr. Zhao and Dr. Ly have done for me. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with a very painful nerve disorder called Trigeminal Neuralgia. It affects my left side of my face, jaw, and ear. Doctors dont know exactly why this happens to people but some believe it could have been from oral surgery from 20 years ago and its just now showing up. Regardless, of all the medications and medical procedures I have been through, including pulling 2 teeth, little has helped. So my last resort was to try acupuncture. Boy, did I have my doubts. But let me tell you, although I still have pain, the acupuncture helps me manage it. I am much better off than I was 2 years ago. The thing is you have to stick with it and follow the doctors directions. You wont find a better doctor. Dr. Zhao and Dr. Ly are the most knowledgeable and most humble doctors I have ever met. They truly want nothing more than to help you and make your life better. They explain how the body begins to heal itself from within through acupuncture. My body responds so much more quickly to the treatments now than before. Plus, theres an added bonus with the treatment. You are given the opportunity to meditate for a few minutes. And this can be one of the most important skills to have. If youre considering acupuncture, step out and try it . With acupuncture being around for at least 2000 years it could be just what youre looking for.

I came to Dr. Ly in June of 2019 completely overwhelmed with symptoms from a disease that no one had yet been able to identify (later was identified to be Celiac Disease). I was struggling with severe joint pains and anxiety, random numbness, shocking sensations, an irritated stomach, and more. At this point I had seen just about any specialist you could think of but no one had been able to get me any sort of relief. That finally started changing once I met Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao. The both of them began my treatment and in just a week or two I already started to notice improvements in my symptoms. Their care has been a real blessing and my only real wish is that I would have considered acupuncture much earlier than I did. Whether you have health issues that you cant seem to get relief from, or youre just interested in healing in a more natural way, I highly recommend getting treatment here. It helped me greatly and I hope it can help you too.

Although I heard acupunture long time ago, this is the first experience for me to experence for my waist ache and leg hemp after hours standing. Dr Ly and Dr Zhao heard my case carefully and gave me treatment through ccupunture twice a week. They changed acupoints according to my reflection and after a mounth of treatment, I feel better now and can twist and move my waist easily. Now I am deeply attracted by the magical effect of acupunture and asked to another treatment of my arm which hurt three years ago and feel ach after pull down the branch of tree in recent days. It almost recovered after three times of accupunture. Thanks for Dr. Zhaos patience and kindness.

Review №27

Never in my life have I felt more loved and cared for by my doctors. Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao do more than treat illness; they take a holistic approach and view each patient as a person with physical and emotional needs. On numerous occasions, I left their office crying tears of joy because they made me feel seen, heard, and cared for. I begin my review with their caring nature, as it is so difficult to find in the world of western medicine.They are also experts in the field of acupuncture. I began going to their clinic after a back injury. Nothing had worked for me; chiropractic wasnt helping, pain pills werent strong enough. Even steroid shots had no effect. I was suffering to an extent I had never experienced before. The only relief I received was when I was treated by Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao. I went into their clinic hobbling, crying, in excruciating pain, and I left feeling like a new person.Sometimes a single treatment is all I need to feel right again. In other cases, I need a few follow-up visits to truly heal. It is clear that these doctors make recommendations based on what you actually NEED and not how they can make.a profit. Months can go by, and Dr. Zhao always remembers the little details I told him on my previous visit. He doesnt refer to notes on a clipboard; he simply remembers me because he cares about each and everyone one of his patients! And it shows!Finally, the nurses who work there are equally kind and caring. One even gave me a snack from her personal lunch box when I was lightheaded. I have heard them say on numerous occasions that they adore Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao, and they will never leave that clinic. They feel respected and taken care of. Too often nurses are overworked and under-appreciated. It is clear that the nurses at this office are very grateful to work in such a positive place.I can not recommend this clinic highly enough. I have been to other acupuncture clinics, and not all are created equally! I no longer use acupuncture as a last resort. I do not try every kind of western medicine known to man before I end up deciding to try acupuncture. It has become my first choice, and I never regret it.Give these doctors a chance to show you what robust health and quality healthcare can do for you. I am beyond grateful to have a world-class acupuncture clinic in our small Alabama community! I am even willing to answer any questions you may have! I am 100% invested in spreading the word about the quality of acupuncture care received at Dr. Ly Natural Health Clinic in Muscle Shoals, Alabama!Good luck, and happy healing!

I have been seeing Dr Ly for several weeks to aid in the recovery from major knee surgery. His techniques have helped increase flexibility and range of motion, not to mention reduced swelling and recovery time. I highly recommend him! He is very knowledgeable and the acupuncture he provides works very well. The staff is friendly and helpful as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lys sense 2016 and I continue receiving 5 star care to date by Dr. Ly and his associate Dr. Zhao. Im being treated for chronic back pain due to arthritis, herniated discs, nerve damage, chronic headaches, sinuses, and bilateral knee issues. As a result of there treatment I have avoided back and knee surgery.They address many ailments like depression and other issues that mentally and medically plague everyone especially us veterans. Acupuncture is not going to fix broken bones or ligaments and its not guaranteed that your result will be as my outcomes have been. I just want people to give Dr. Ly and his staff a chance and you may find that this 2000 year old natural art may work for you as it has been working for this veteran. Since beginning acupuncture procedures with Dr Ly and Dr Zhao for several years I have had the pain in my back reduced greatly. I have been seen at the Shoals clinic and the Huntsville AL clinic getting the same positive results. I plan to visit the Memphis Tn clinic now that Im able to drive long distances due to my pain reduction. The staff are professional and accommodating with all new and old patients. Dr. Ly and Dr. Zhao are both caring and gentle with the needles and they want the best for their patients. Patients range from male, female, mature and young. I would encourage everyone especially my fellow veterans to seek out Dr. Lys clinics for acupuncture treatments whether its the Muscle shoals AL clinic, Huntsville AL clinic, or the Memphis Tn clinic. I recommend them 100%. Five STAR treatment

I have had years of lower back pain and depression. Since acupuncture procedures by Dr Ly and Dr Zhao for several weeks, I havent had any depression and the pain in my back has diminished greatly. I live the atmosphere at the Shoals clinic. Staff are very sweet and accommodating. Both Drs Ly and Zhao are both caring and gentle with the needles. They seem to care very much for my health.
