After 15 years of moderate back pain, my discomfort became severe the last 4 months, before I had my first treatment with Dr. Vuong. Over the years, I had tried numerous herbs (willow bark, etc.) and supplements (glucosamine, chondroitin, etc.), including powdered collagen. Even though I persisted with glucosamine and chondroitin, I still had no noticeable relief. Fortunately I found Dr. Vuong on the Internet. She is an M.D. who genuinely enjoys her work and wants to alleviate suffering. She was always quite gracious, very personable, and highly professional. And, Dr. Vuong is not greedy. Her prices were 1/3 to 1/2 less than others I contacted. I am 68 years old and am on Warfarin (Cumadin).  As a result, she felt she should not use prolotherapy near my spine. At first, I was disappointed. But, since she had also been trained in neuro-prolotherapy, she felt that was the safer, and probably equally effective, treatment in those areas. By injecting near the nerves which lead toward the spine, a comparable result could be achieved. I was not disappointed. She did use regular prolotherapy in the neck and upper shoulders and on the buttocks, away from the spine. Over a period of only two months (six treatments) using neuro prolotherapy and prolotherapy, 90% of my pain has been eradicated. At the end of the first treatment, when I got up off the table, I already felt substantial relief. I have recommended her to many family members and friends, who suffer from various sorts of chronic and severe physical pain. Thank you Dr. Vuong
