Nan Yi Chun Acupuncture

06/20/2008 Posted by idalew

This is the first time experiencing acupuncture. I came to Nan Yi to heal my acne and my allergies. I have been using topical solutions ever since the onset of my acne and nothing has been very effective. In regards to my allergies. Same story. I had noticeable improvements with both situations after my first acupuncture session (and after ceasing topical sloutions/allergy meds). My allergy symptoms aren't as severe. I haven't had any new bumps since my first session (which usually I have about 2 new bumps each morning) and my current lesions are slowly shrinking. The best part are all the secondary improvements (at least 2 bowel movements a day instead of 1, immediate healing of my canker soars, restful deep sleep). Nan is so positive and genuine. I look forward to being completely healed and not feeling like I have to be on Meds/solutions for the REST of my life. Thank you SO much Nan Yi!!!

After reading so many of the positive reviews on Citysearch, I decided to make an appointment with Nan Yi Chun. I came to her with several issues - anxiety, stomach related problems, many years of back and nerve pain. This was my first experience with acupuncture, so I was very nervous at first...however as soon as she opens the door, you are welcomed by her joyful spirit and immediately put at ease. Since my first session, I have been back several times...and although I experienced some dizziness and nausea the first few times having never had the procedure done before, I am happy to report that sticking to it has really paid off! After only a few sessions, I have already begun feeling so much relief from my back pain...pain that dr's and epidurals and physical therapy were unable to provide. What a joy and a blessing! My anxiety has been minimal and my stomach troubles are subsiding. I feel so privileged to have met with her and look forward to each and every visit! I would highly recommend :)

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Can't think of one..

After having my wisdom teeth removed, I was experiencing very painful headaches and jaw tension. The left side of my jaw was swollen and I couldn't open my mouth all the way. 3 weeks after having the teeth removed, I still needed to take a prescription pain killer in order to sleep. Nan Yi helped me so much! After 1 visit the swelling went down dramatically, and I was to get by on just a couple of Advil per day. After the third visit, the pain was completely gone, and I felt so much better to have found a way to address the problem without medicine and all of its side effects. It was such a positive experience, and made me feel healthier, happier and pain-free. I would definitely recommend Nan Yi to anyone experiencing muscle pain and tension.

Pros: effective, relaxing, trustworthy care

Cons: cash or personal check only

Nan Yi has helped me experience a dramatic change in my health. I started having allergy problems and chronic sinus infections after I moved into the city 3 years ago. I was constantly on antibiotics (5 times in the last year alone), and had tried a number of nasal sprays and medication that had horrible side effects. The latest round had me on Singulair and Pseudovent, which left me experiencing sleeplessness, body aches and extreme weight loss. I couldn't tell if I felt worse from the medication or my allergies, and I was scared to go back to the doctor. Someone suggested acupuncture, so I sought help from Nan Yi. After my first visit I stopped taking all of my medications and haven't taken any since - I've only taken her suggestions on natural remedies. The sinus problems had given me daily headaches, but I am managing them much better, without the help of any medication whatsoever. I have also been able to enjoy the nice weather outside without feeling lethargic afterwards. On top of the success with my sinuses, my time with Nan Yi has become a new way to help me (and my body) deal with the daily stresses that I have always had a hard time coping with. As strange as it sounds, having acupuncture is extremely relaxing. It's been a surprise to see how my body has reacted. And Nan Yi has been wonderful in guiding me through the entire process. She always answers my questions and has such a wonderfully positive attitude. I highly recommend her!

Pros: calm, clean, relaxed environment. great care

Cons: none

I have nothing but positive things to say about acupuncture with Nan Yi. She took time to explain her diagnosis, put me at ease, and answer any questions I had along the way (I did a series of eight sessions). And most importantly, my condition improved. I trust her, and she's a joy to be around as well. I recommended a friend and he also had a very positive experience. Good energy. Thank you, Nan Yi!

I found Nan Yi through city search and have been seeing her since March for insomnia. My insomnia is definitely getting better with the combination of the acupunture treatment and Chinese herbs that Nan Yi prescribed for me. I have had insomnia for over 6 years and now finally have a chance / time to takee care of it. Now I sleep and feel much better although my treatment is not done yet. We are both waiting for the pulse on my left arm to show (we know it is coming) - I had very very weak pulse on my left arm when I first starting seeing Nan Yi! Nan Yi has been caring, warm and she is very knowledgable at what she is doing! She always remembers to ask me about the problems we discussed in the last session. She is a great listener, answers questions you have, gives recommendations on what other things you can do to help - what kind of food to eat etc. Thank you Nan Yi for helping me to be able to sleep again!!

Pros: 1. knowlegable / trustworthy 2. close to Penn Station 3. takes United Healthcare 4 clean facility

This is my 1st time. For the past several months I felt unlike myself. Always tired, no energy, peeling nails, pale skin & so on. I gained 30 lbs in about 5 months. I'm 24 w/a relatively active lifestyle, no changes in my eating that would warrant this much gain. Made an appt w/my doc & he acknowledged my thyroid was underactive (hypothyroid). Did some research & wasn't interested in the conventional hormonal therapy. Continued my research and considered the benefits of acupuncture. Nan Yi accepts Cigna! 1 week later, 3 sessions to date & I feel like I have done a 270 degree turn. After the 1st session major energy boost. My life is changing in ways I hadn't even anticipated! I never had a regular period outside of anytime I was taking oral contraception. My cycle was painful & crippling if I didn't load up on meds before the phantom cramps turned into the real deal! My cycle if it came was anywhere from 32-43 days apart. My first session was on a Tuesday and by the morning of my second session, Friday of the same week, my cycle started (24 days from my last cycle). I didn't feel a single cramp. No clots either. I informed Nan Yi of this and she replied "that's normal." We'll see what next month brings to see how well my body is regulating :) I am running out of room so I guess I should summarize what else has happened thus far in my acupuncture journey. My bm are coming more reg, I'm down 5 lbs (mostly water) & I'm feeling like my old self. Loving life :) Things to keep in mind : On time, appts are available & conveniently located. Nan Yi is so warm and gentle. Her concern is genuine and she is receptive to your feedback and any questions you may have. I have a belief that when things are done with love the results are amazing...usally I attribute that to food but in this case I think Nan Yi loves what she does and her Chi helps to keep you encouraged on your road to a more balanced existence. Relax, Release and Live to Love Life Again....Thanks Nan Yi!

Pros: Respectful of your time, no excessive waiting. The rooms smell wonderful!

Cons: I cannot take her home with me :)

When I first came to Nan my colitus was so severe I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I knew that acupuncture could help me - but I am finding that not every acupuncture has the knack, and I had been seeing one that did not work for me. After one visit I started healing and am so much better now its like day and night. I started seeing acupuncturists 25 years ago in S.F., so I have a lot of experience and I consider Nan one of the best I have ever gone to. And she talks to you, pays attention to you. Thats important.

While this was not my first experience with acupuncture it is my best. If you are thinking about exploring acupunture as a treament option I highly recommend Nan Yi Chun. Her warm, friendly spirit and natural ablility will immediately put you at ease. She is a confident, experienced professional who is truly blessed with many gifts. My sessions with Nan Yi Chun are ongoing and I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement in lower back issue. I have wanted to keep her a secret but that is not fair! An associate recommended her to me and I am returning the favor to you.....Be well.

As a "newbie" to acupuncture, Nan was wonderful - she answered all my questions and explained the process thoroughly. I went to see her for joint pain and sleep problems and after one session, there was a definite improvement. How it actually works, including the boost of energy right after the session is still a mystery to me, but I don't question it!
