Migraines, Sciatica, & Jet Lag!

I have had the great opportunity to know Ted Ray for two years now. I have heard many others glow with support for all the things he has done for their good health and wellbeing. I have used Ted for three issues myself and my wife has been to him for two issues of her own. I could say, like so many others, how he has solved my issues and give him glowing reports on acupuncture and herbal medicine. But, that somehow would not be enough, you see, Ted's greatest resource is Ted himself. I had a lot of misgivings regarding eastern (Chinese) medicine when I went to see Ted for the first time. Ted is not Chinese and in some regards, it seems that could be a hurdle to overcome. However, being of the western culture myself I found that Ted's not being Chinese enabled him to explain Chinese medicine to me in terms I could grasp. This enabled me to relax and get the full benefit of all that he recommended for me. Aside from just being one of the kindest most understanding and empathic people I have come across, he gets results.
As for the results achieved, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has truly made a believer out of me. My wife saw Ted for migraine headaches that were coming in two-week intervals. After completing treatment Susan went five months before having another migraine. I was laid up for a weekend with what I believe was a pinched nerve in my hip. I saw Ted on Monday and come Tuesday I was 100% pain free. Susan and I both recently spent our vacation in Europe. We used "Flyright", Ted's anti jet lag formula. We had absolutely no jet lag upon arriving. On the return trip my wife used the formula again and I did not. Again Susan had absolutely no jet lag, and I suffered for four days waking up in the middle of the night and suffering from fatigue by 4;00 in the afternoon. For a truly educational and fantastic experience I recommend my Acupuncturist and Herbalist for life Ted Ray.

Low Back Pain & Sciatica

I came to Ted Ray with lower back pain that radiated down both legs. It had curtailed my activities for about a year. I have to admit I was a skeptic who knew very little about acupuncture, but he quickly made me a believer. His treatments have reduced my pain to almost non-existent and I'm happily back to hiking, walking and working out. He is a gentle, patient, caring person who puts you at ease as he inserts those thin little needles. His treatments are so relaxing it's not unusual for me to doze off during a session.- Judy W., Mountain View

Insomnia

"I am very scared of needles. I was trying to stop taking prescription sleeping pills and I am ultra-sensitive to medications. I went to Ted Ray for acupuncture and he made it comfortable and after a couple sessions, I was able to quit using any sleep aids. I actually rested and relaxed while being treated and that is hard for me to do. "

Cold and Flu Relief

"I was surrounded by people with colds. My throat started getting sore. I saw Ted, got treated and felt better, but not cured. I faithfully took the herbal tincture. I felt like I was about to get a cold, but I never did! I'll be seeing him next time I get the slightest symptoms. I highly recommend you do the same. If everyone got treated at the first sign of symptoms, we could probably save a few lives during flu season."- Eric G., Mountain View

Chronic Back Pain

"I can recommend Ted Ray as an acupuncturist based on firsthand experience with him. I am not new to acupuncture. I embrace herbs and many types of complementary medicine practices, especially for any kind of chronic condition. I went to Ted with an unusual and persistent back pain. It moved around a bit and was related to a block in my energy. Prior to seeing Ted, my chiropractor's assistance seemed to make the problem worse. (It was not a sports injury!) Ted's efforts had an immediate positive effect. It took a few treatments to really knock out the problem. After two months of frustration and suffering, a few visits with Ted and I was back on track, able to travel to the East Coast for a long holidays. Ted is not only skilled, he is good natured and personable. I would not hesitate to refer my friends."- Beth M., Mountain View

Migraine Headaches & Sciatica

"My wife saw Ted when she was suffering from migraines in two week intervals. She saw a quick improvement and after treatment she went five months without a migraine. I saw Ted on a Monday with a pinched nerve that had kept me off my feet through the weekend. On Tuesday I was at 100% mobility. These things are great, but I believe the best thing about Ted is his ability to make a western person such as myself comfortable with eastern medicine. I would not hesitate to give Ted the highest recommendation."

Post-surgical pain & Scar tissue

"I'd seen an acupuncturist while training for a marathon several years ago and so I knew the benefits of acupuncture--but that Lac didn't take the time to explain what he was doing which is just as important as the treatment itself. I've had several major operations which, although successful, have left me with substantial scar tissue/pain. I didn't want to take drugs to ease the pain, and Ted's methods were the only thing that's helped my pain-finally-

Since I first started treatment, I've had no pain- and he's also helped me with other typical aches and pains of being a gardener/artist along the way. If anyone had any reservations seeking acupuncture treatment, I can tell you will feel very comfortable with Dr. Ray (Not to mention getting pain free!)"Kyra P., Mountain View
