Lifecare Acupuncture & Alternative Medicine Center

I highly recommend Dr. Li for everything! I came to see Dr. Li for my digestive issues that I had been having for over 4 years and constant anxiety that had taken over my life. I had visited many doctors and was diagnosed with onset ulcerative colitis. I changed my diet and tried all different types of natural supplements to manage the pain, but nothing was helping and the anxiety was spiraling out of control. I was having difficulty running my own business, I was terrified of eating anything because of the possibility of a flare and the panic attacks throughout the day. After my first session with Dr. Li I was completely shocked at how I felt the next few days. I was calm and was able to eat again without throwing up or running to the bathroom with diarrhea. I finally felt like my body was holding onto the nutrients and I was able to eat larger meals without restricting the types of food I had previously avoided because of the flares. I felt better after each visit and I am really surprised how good I feel after three months. I will continue to see Dr. Li to maintain this and will also use him for other issue in the future. He was able to use acupuncture to help with the discomfort, nausea and fatigue I get each month during my menstrual cycle. He was also able to work on a cold I had and I was able to get over it in one day!
I am very thankful for finding Dr. Li and discovering the uses and benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Thank you, Dr. Li, for giving me my life back!

I'm ashamed to say it's been almost 2 years since I visited Dr. Li. I went to him for help with infertility because I have PCOS. While he was conducting the test that determines what is out-of-balance in your system (I can't remember what it was called), he noticed a mole on the top of my foot and made a comment that I should have it checked. By the time I left that day, he repeated at least 5 times that I needed to have it checked. To be honest, his persistence struck a bit of fear in me so I scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist to have it removed. It was tested, and found to be melanoma. I had to have additional surgery to have a larger area removed, but thankfully they caught it before it spread. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Li for being so concerned about my well-being. He quite literally could have saved my life. I just realized that I did not properly thank him, so the least I can do is write this review. . . . . by the way, my son turns 1 tomorrow!!!! Yes, I sincerely recommend Dr. Li. :-)

I had this intense back pain for months. I went to many doctors, chiropractors, and trigger point massage therapy. We spent a lot of money trying to fix this constant pain. I was not able to bend down without help and sitting for an extended period of time was not an option. I was an appointment away from scheduling a MRI and heading down a path that would ultimately mean back surgery. For me this was not a route I wanted to go down. Something told me to look into acupuncture, but I was skeptical because I didn’t know how it would help intense lower back pain. I had tried acupuncture before for an illness as a kid and the results were amazing. So I went ahead and searched online and found Dr. Li. He has helped me more than I could have ever imagined. My back doesn’t hurt and I have a pain free life now. I would recommend and have recommended Dr. Li to any and everyone that is having any kind of pain. I no longer take heavy pain medications to manage the everyday tasks.

After suffering with allergies, bronchitis and sinusitis for over 20 years, I tried acupuncture with Dr. Li. And it was one of the best health decisions of my life! At that time, the allergist and ear, nose & throat doctors had me on 7 medications and I was still miserable. After a couple months of treatments with Dr. Li, I stopped taking all previously prescribed medications and felt better than I had in years. Since I am such a skeptic, I waited a year to write this review. I am now a true believer in acupuncture. I take no allergy medicines and have had no allergy problems, bronchitis or sinus infections since I began seeing Dr. Li fourteen months ago. I am excited to have Dr. Li as my doctor and happy to recommend him to family and friends.

I originally went to see Dr. Li after being told by my rheumatologist that there was nothing more he could do for my fibromyalgia pain. After about 3 or 4 visits, my pain was gone! After suffering for many years and not being relieved by prescription drugs, Dr. Li was the answer all along. Dr. Li is now working to balance my hormones and restore felling in my feet due to diabetic neuropathy. I can't say enough great things about him. In addition, the staff at his office is kind and caring. Don't wait in pain or hesitate to make an appointment. NLogue

Not a good experience. Dr. Li seems like a very nice guy; very nice staff in a beautiful building. BUT, (1) you pay over $200 for a report that he says he is going to use to help with needle placement so that your treatment is more effective -- however, he didn't even look at the report prior to needle placement, (2) he connects a number of needles to some type of electrical pulse generator -- so that instead of 30 minutes of relaxing, "no pain" acupuncture treatment, I felt like I was electrocuted for 30 minutes; not fun or relaxing.

I originally made an appointment with Dr. Li to see if he could help with migraine headaches I had been having since being rear-ended in an automobile accident a couple of years ago. In addition, I’ve had esophageal spasms and GERD for years. I had a few other issues but didn’t really think about them much. It’s just life, right? My chiropractor had improved my physical issues over the years; my neurologist gave me medication to kill the pain when I got a migraine; and my gastroenterologist gave me medication for the GERD. But I was still having occasional migraines and the GERD issues were getting worse. I didn’t want to take toxic medication to cover up symptoms (and possibly damage my health further); I wanted relief. I was sick of feeling bad; and I was more than willing to try something different. So I set up an appointment with Dr. Li. I was in a terrible mood and very stressed from work the day I saw Dr. Li for my first appointment. After an examination, Dr. Li gave me an acupuncture treatment. As I lay there with needles sticking out of my head, my mind kept running over the events of the past couple of days; and not only was I no longer upset, it appeared to be impossible to make myself get upset! This is interesting, I thought. Afterwards, when I told Dr. Li that I couldn’t make myself get upset, he simply said, “I know.” Very interesting, I thought. My stress level has continued to decrease and my optimism about life has continued to increase. I’m actually … HAPPY … most of the time! What a concept! Dr. Li has been treating me for the migraines, the esophageal spasms and GERD, stress, and various other health issues for about three months. After a couple of days of esophageal spasms recently, Dr. Li did his usual acupuncture treatment and added some Chinese herb pills for me to take at home (supportive herbs, not toxic medication). Esophageal spasms gone! Indigestion rarely happens at all anymore; and when it does, only slightly. Amazing!!! I didn’t know how good it felt to feel good! With simplicity, professionalism, and a warm caring spirit, Dr. Li and his staff create a tranquil healing environment. I heartily recommend Dr. Li if you need help along your journey to health and well being. And the migraines I went to Dr. Li for in the first place? I haven’t had any since I began treatment --- I’m loving it! At 63, I’m beginning to get my life, health, and energy back. I wish I’d known about Dr. Li a very long time ago!

I suffer from Sjogren s, arthritis, depression and Fibromyalgia, which mean wide spread pain and debilitating fatigue sometimes. I have tried everything out there - including other Acupuncture doctors. Nothing worked. Since I don t want to depend on medications for many reasons, I decided to try Acupuncture again. That is when I found Dr. Li. He was different from any other doctor I had seen. He took the time to explain how acupuncture could help me. He performed a test on me that provided information on the state my body was in and where we needed to work. When I went to him I was in so much pain and mentally fatigued (I call it being unplugged) I didn t know if he could help. He truly cares about each patient s results. Within three treatments my pain was so much better, my energy was returning and the depression was lifting. With continued treatments the results were amazing. I do understand that he can t fix me and that I need to continue treatments to maintain my balance. When I miss treatment for more than three weeks I realize how much it helps which draws me back for more. Dr. Li made a believer out of me. I was also impressed that Dr. Li is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine with a medical degree - not just an acupuncture practitioner. Also, his offices are very nice and clean with great office staff and the location is good.

Dr. Li is awesome! When I was referred to Dr. Li, I had a host of health issues; however, the most urgent issue was a serious strain/muscle tear in my left leg/quadriceps.



I had tests (X-Ray & MRI) which confirmed the diagnosis and I was told (several weeks after the injury) that it would take no less than 3-6 months from that time for my leg to heal. I was in pain 24/7. It was unbearable and impossible to sleep. I had to walk with a cane and couldn't walk far or stand long without causing real trouble for myself.



Dr. Li treated my leg, which began to feel better after a fairly short time. It continued to get better and better and the pain decreased so that I no longer had to take pain pills, anti-inflammatory pills and muscle relaxers in order to sleep.



I began using the cane less and less as treatment progressed. My leg is now about 90% healed and I am walking without a cane at all. I am now a firm believer in acupuncture and will continue to see Dr. Li in the future for other health issues. I am very thankful that the Lord led me to Dr. Li; what a blessing!

I began seeing Dr. Li for chronic insomnia that I have struggled with for four year. I also needed help dealing with stress and anxiety. I have tried numerous sleeping aids and nothing has really helped my insomnia. My goal was to figure out the cause of my insomnia and get off drugs that are not very effective. After my first treatment, I felt so relaxed and stress free. After my second treatment, I was sleeping so much better and felt much less anxiety than I had in quite a while. I was actually dreaming and sleeping for longer periods of time without waking up. After a few more treatments, if I do wake up I am able to get back to sleep without laying in bed awake for hours.





The treatments are really helping me deal with the stress of everyday life. I did not expect to feel so much better mentally and have been pleasantly surprised by what acupuncture can do. Seeing Dr. Li has made such a positive impact on my life in so many ways. I was struggling with anxiety and rage issues that were causing me to become a negative person. I really can not stress enough how much acupuncture has changed my outlook on life. I feel like I am again the positive, happy person I used to be.





In addition to treating my insomnia and anxiety, Dr. Li has also treated me for acid reflux, allergies, and hormone imbalance, with positive results after the first treatment. I plan on seeing Dr. Li for years to come. I look forward to my sessions and talking with Dr. Li as his attitude on life inspires me.
