Migraine Headache


I went to see Jin as I was suffering from a cluster migraine, which was a migraine every day for over two months. I told him that he would be a god if he succeeded in getting rid of my (hormonal) migraines, which I had been suffering from on a monthly basis for over 6 years now. For years, I had sought regular western medicine treatment, including being under the care of a neurosurgeon who specializes in migraine treatment. I daresay that I may have to call him a god after all. I haven't experienced a full-on migraine since I began seeing him for acupuncture over 2 months ago. I'm optimistic that this will last. Moreover, he has a bedside manner that is very comforting, and you always feel like you are important and heard. I highly recommend him.

Painful Menstruation


I went through several gynecological surgeries since 1997. I had been experiencing continual strong pain during my periods, each time thinking that it is the last day of my life. In addition I always felt coldness. My hands and feet were cold even in summer time. I had tried various remedies, but nothing worked. I tried acupuncture before with little success but decided to give it another shot. After two months of the treatment with Byoungjin, the coldness was gone completely and pain became less. I was surprised at the results and wondered whether they would last. Almost four months have gone by and the coldness has not returned. I am extremely impressed by Byoungjin technique and would highly recommend seeing him for both short-term and chronic pain management. Thank you Byoungjin for healing me!

Sports Injury (Bicycle accident)


I am just emailing to follow up on my acupuncture treatment with Prof. Byoungjin Na at the Green Leaf clinic. Just one acupuncture treatment quickly provided pain relieve and gave me back my mobility.

I am over 50 and had a bicycle accident which caused severe rib pain and prevented me from moving my left arm. Doctors said it will take six weeks to heal and because I am unable to take any medicine for pain due to allergies, it may take longer, I was told to pretty much just put up with it! I'd rather not use drugs to mask the real problem so I sought out alternative treatments.

I had one massage treatment which felt good for about 2 hours then the pain returned. I was becoming desperate, I hadn't slept well for 10 days since the fall, I felt like the ribs were going to pop through my chest and I could not turn in my sleep as the shoulder joint was inflamed and the pain so excruciating even if the blanket touched it. I was in severe discomfort still and about 2 weeks later on a Saturday, I was unable to lift my left arm without the muscle feeling like it was tearing and my ribs were so painful I felt I wasn't breathing properly.

I spent one Saturday morning trying to find an alternative treatment then I came across an article on the Green Leaf clinic and decided to call. That was three weeks ago and one acupuncture treatment. I immediately felt the movement return to my arm and I was surprised that my ribs were also no longer painful. Of course I was skeptical and when I left I kept waiting for my pain to return. I slept 10 hours that night and felt very calm the next day, but I still was waiting for my symptoms to return. Over the next week I kept moving increasing my activity and now, three weeks later I'm back to biking, walking, yoga and the gym. I have forgotten the pain that I was in.

I have other health issues to address and I will go back. I found that the environment was comfortable and I appreciate Prof. Byoungjin Na's explanation of the treatment. He did a great job of talking me through the process which made me feel confident with the treatment that was provided.

Thank you and I will return but for now I am out enjoying the summer and keeping active.

Fatigue


It's been almost one year since I've been feeling enervated without even knowing any specific reason. I visited walk-in clinics several times but mostly I was prescribed painkillers along with digestives that did not work for me. I also experienced serious headache and waist pain and they even led me to depression. What made me worry was nobody could tell me the reason of those symptoms.

Acupuncture treatment was the last option for me, and I met Dr. Na a couple of months ago. It was quite impressive when he diagnosed me at first. He asked my symptoms in detail, my eating habits and daily activities as well. Then he explained me and my husband why I experienced such pains and exhaustion and also what kind of treatment I needed to get. Finally, we were so relieved to get to know the reason of my symptoms and the solution.

I've been amazed by the result that I gained from Dr. Na. The pains I suffered from are gone now and I am feeling very energetic instead of being lethargic. He dazzled me with his extensive knowledge of human body system. He will also tell you how you can gain your health back. He is a good doctor for sure but I also want to emphasize that he is a very thoughtful person who always does his best to take care of his patient's mental health as well. I highly recommend him as a rare, genuinely skilled and warm-hearted doctor.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)


Suffering from IBS for more than 10 years & trying different treatments without any result, I started to believe that I have to live with it ! Stress was one of the main reason of my problem which I couldn't control it. As a newcomer to Vancouver, I had a stressful life. The IBS has got worse & worse. A friend of mine proposed me to try acupuncture treatments. I found Green Leaf Clinic. This was the beginning the end of all my suffers during these years. After 2th session I felt better. I had no usual pain. After 7th session I started to enjoy from a normal life. The IBS was controlled. Acupuncture treatments worked for me!

Professor Byoungjin Na, I'm very grateful for what you have done. Thank you for changing my life!

Frequent Urination (Enlarged prostate)


Hello Jin,
I would like to tell you how pleased I am that I found you and that I came to Green Leaf. I was urinating almost every hour, including during the night time. Getting up 5 or 6 times a night. After ten sessions with you I am going now only every 2 1/2 or 3 hour during the day and at night, sometimes I sleep 4 hours. The acupuncture and prescriptions have helped me a great deal. I am very grateful. You are a very nice man. Very professional and I enjoyed coming to your office.

Morning Sickness (Pregnancy nausea)


Acupuncture was my saving grace in dealing with my first trimester pregnancy nausea. My treatments were drug free and effective. Dr. Na was thorough, patient and kind. He also showed me acupressure points so I could minimize any nausea that came between sessions. Without this medical care, I had difficulty eating, and was losing weight. Acupuncture worked to reduce my pregnancy nausea and allowed me to eat and remain healthy during those critical first weeks. Thank you for my care and treatment!
