“I had a two month period of extreme exhaustion along with pain in my arms. I took an anti-inflammatory which helped somewhat with the arm pain, but nothing helped the exhaustion. Within a few weeks of seeing Dr. Chi, the change in my energy level was huge. I felt so good, so healthy and strong. There was even more relief from the pain too. Acupuncture really got me back to my life.”
Read More“For the past year, I have been experiencing severe pain and weakness in my right leg. When I drive, I have to use my left leg. Despite a series of diagnosis and treatments, I had little success in relieving my symptoms. I am very grateful that my friend recommended Dr. Chi to me. The pain and weakness have been remarkably reduced; I feel pain free and the muscle has become stronger now. I know there are many more individuals like me who are suffering and seeking answers, but not finding effective treatments. I would strongly recommend them to consider getting acupuncture treatments from Dr. Chi.”
Read More“Unrelenting pain resulting from surgical complications brought me to Dr. Chi. Within two treatments the pain was notably diminished. Continued acupuncture treatments has kept the pain at bay and hastened the healing of the wound, as well. An unexpected consequence of acupuncture treatments is improved control of my blood pressure, allowing me to cut my medication in half. And a final bonus—after 30+ years of debilitating migraine and sinus headaches, I have found relief in diminished frequency, duration, and intensity. Thank you, Dr. Chi!”
Read More“As a very healthy and active 62 year old, I found myself stopped in my tracks with Carpal Tunnel syndrome. As a nurse, I knew that I had to choose between Western medical techniques, i.e., cortisone injections and possible surgery, or less invasive Eastern techniques. Because of the side effects of drugs and surgery, I chose Acupuncture & Health Center for treatment involving acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Within three days of the first treatment, I began to feel relief from the neck and shoulder pain. After two treatments, my Chi levels were near normal, the Carpal Tunnel symptoms were almost completely abated and for the first time in years, I was sleeping through the night due to the side benefits of acupuncture & herbs. I found Dr. Chi to be most receptive and warm. My care was immediate, relaxing and patient-friendly. The only regret that I have is that I let the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel continue to worsen over the 2 1/2 weeks that I did not choose treatment with Dr. Chi sooner.”
Read More“I originally came to Dr. Chi for treatment of my allergies and asthma. I had been getting two allergy shots per week for three years and taking Zyrtec and Singulair as well to manage my symptoms. After only two treatments with Dr. Chi, I no longer needed my weekly allergy shots. After four treatments I was able to stop the Zyrtec and Singulair. I have truly enjoyed being off all my allergy and asthma medicine. Since this treatment was so successful, I asked Dr. Chi about treating my neek pain. I was in an auto accident 18 years ago and have had neck pain on and off since then. Dr. Chi treated my pain only 2 times and it was gone. I am very happy with the results.”

After four treatments, my husband remarked, “Look at how you are walking,” and that was just the beginning. We in Richmond are so fortunate to have such a highly trained and gifted healer.”
Read More“I came to Ruiping Chi looking for relief from the pain and immobility of rheumatoid arthritis. Medical doctors told me that my body was falling apart, that I needed to learn to live with RA and that they could provide medicine that would diminish some of the pain and other, expensive medicine with serious side effects that would probably halt the spread of RA throughout my body. These medicines would be with me the rest of my life. Ruiping Chi’s approach was life affirming. She assured me that with diligent acupuncture treatments, herbal supplements and patience with my body’s slow but steady healing, I would regain pain free and easy motion in my joints. At the same time all systems of my body would be supported by the acupuncture so that there would be no adverse side effects. After just a handful of treatments, I could see definite results. Each week I found some little thing that I could freely do that I couldn’t do the week before. My sleep became pain free, my fatigue and depression vanished and now a year later, even after a chilly winter, I feel so close to being 100% free of the RA.”
Read More“Dr. Chi has been treating me for several conditions for almost two years. I initially sought treatment for neck pain and headaches, which improved significantly under her care. She also treated me for fertility and I got pregnant with 2 months of treatment. Previously, I had tried for over a year without success. She helped me with subsequent pregnancy losses. Now I’m pregnant again in my 2nd trimester with a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Chi has successfully treated several of my primary care patients that I referred to her. Their conditions ranged from peripheral neuropathy due to chemotherapy, chronic pain, allergic rhinitis, headaches, and mono. As a medical practitioner, Dr. Chi is extremely professional. She is caring and has unending concern for her patients. I highly recommend her!”
Read More“We had been trying to get pregnant for nearly two years with no success. I saw Dr. Chi less than four times before learning that I had conceived. I found the sessions to be very helpful in creating balance within my body and helping me relax. I continue to see Dr. Chi during my pregnancy to help make sure the baby is born healthy. I am grateful that I met Dr. Chi and recommend acupuncture to others.”
Read More“I have tried so many methods that claim a cure for seasonal allergies, which I have been suffering from for many years, without positive results that I doubt that there is any at all. Well, I am glad to say that I’ve finally found one. After several weeks of treatment, for the first time in many years I was able to go outside in the green dust without sneezing, runny nose and Claritin. Thanks Dr. Chi.”
Read More“Our son has suffered from seasonal allergies since he was four years old. We have tried a myriad of treatments ranging from traditional medicine (primary care physician & a specialized allergist) to alternative treatment (NAET, homeopathic medicine, a consult with a compound pharmacist, and even another local acupuncturist). For the past four years our son has not had any reprieve from his allergy symptoms including allergy shots. We were extremely doubtful when we met Dr. Chi. ‘Here we go again…More money’. Honestly, after one session our eight-year-old son was completely free of symptoms. I thought this was “too good to be true” because of our long treatment history. However, our eight-year-old son is free of all medication & nasal spray. Dr. Chi helped us in a total of two treatments. Thank you Dr. Chi!!”
