Josh

My name is Josh and I’ve been very fortunate to have been a patient of
Dr.Linh Vuong for the past year and three months. When I began
treatment I was in such debilitating pain that I couldn’t
walk up stairs, I had zero flexion in my feet, my back was so sore and
sensitive that it couldn’t be touched without pain. I suffered greatly
from tendinitis in my right hand. My injuries included being struck down
from a taxi cab, falling from 20 feet through a trap door and a sharp
piece of metal piercing my right hand.

All of this pain pushed me into such a poor state of mind. I didn’t have the will or strength to socialize or work. I barely left the house. I didn’t want to come to terms with it but I was very depressed. I didn’t know where to turn for treatment. I
pulled together the strength to address my overwhelming list of complaints
and made appointments with all types of specialists including hand
surgeons, orthopedists, osteopaths, psychiatrists etc. I wasn’t getting
the help I needed and gave up hope. The more I stayed in my bed the worse
everything got for me. I didn’t see a way out of my misery. I gained 50
lbs, my family was constantly criticizing me for being depressed and
unmotivated in life.

I was in my late twenties. All my friends were advancing in their careers, in relationships, building lives. I was sinking deeper into depression and physical despair. This was not the type of person I ever dreamed of becoming. I wanted to be successful and independent like the rest of my peers. I couldn’t figure out how much of my depression was related to my physical pain, my emotional state or my
parents constant criticism. I didn’t know what to do.

My therapist recommended that I go see Dr. Linh Vuong.  The two of them helped me to slowly get back on my own two feet. Dr Vuong practices a type of treatment and care that I could only dream existed. Dr Vuong is a unicorn in the medical
field. That’s not to be taken lightly. Dr Vuong is an absolute expert in
anatomy, conventional medicine and alternative approaches.  Dr.
Vuong incorporates all of her expert knowledge and heartfelt care into every visit.  Each patient is treated with dignity with a tailored
treatment plan. At every visit she addresses all my concerns, never makes me feel rushed, gives me a thorough treatment with some combination of prolotherapy, perineural dextrose injection therapy, acupuncture, dextrose hydrodissection and osteopathic manual manipulation.  I always walk out feeling much better.

Today, after year of  treatments I am doing so much better.  I now work as a raw vegan chef in Venice and healing my body with food in addition to the treatments above.   I have friends at work, a steady income, my own home, a wonderful dog and most importantly hope for a day when I will wake up without full body pain. I have come a very long way in one short year.

Knowing that Dr. Vuong and my therapist have my back gives me the strength
to continue to keep striving to new heights in my health, my personal life
and my professional career in which I get to express my creativity and
offer healing gourmet cuisine to my neighborhood. I’m doing so much better
and it feels like a miracle, I hope it only continues to get better for
me. If you’re suffering from chronic debilitating pain I recommend that you come see Dr. Vuong.  She can help you get your life back!
