Eight focus areas where Dr. Yu has built his reputation — serving patients across Northern Virginia (Herndon, Reston, Sterling, Chantilly, Ashburn, Fairfax, Vienna) and from Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and North Carolina.
My expertise is in the following areas. For each, I provide a personalized recovery plan based on your specific condition, history, and goals.
Renowned for Chronic Migraine, Shingles-related pain, Lower Back Pain (sciatica, muscle pain, fascia tissue-related pain), Knee Pain, and elbow pain. I am also good at treating shoulder pain, Fibromyalgia, and more.
Scar tissue is one area where many patients arrive after being told, elsewhere, that nothing more can be done. It is a rare focus among acupuncture practices — and one Dr. Yu has built his reputation around over more than two decades in Herndon.
Two categories he sees most often:
What patients typically notice: after 2–3 treatments, scars becoming softer and flatter, reduced pulling and tightness, restored range of motion in nearby joints, and reduced pain in the surrounding tissue. In many cases the visible appearance improves as well.
Individual results vary and depend on scar age, depth, and location. Dr. Yu will evaluate your specific case and give a realistic assessment before starting treatment.
Such as ankle sprain, foot/leg/back/shoulder injuries. Sports injuries require special handling — not only minimizing the treatment impact but also achieving fast efficacy so athletes can retain their daily exercise and prepare for upcoming competitions.
Athletes and coaches from the local basketball and volleyball teams, three dance schools, and a gymnastic club consistently turn to me first when injuries happen — keeping students competition-ready and coaches at full strength.
Such as trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, and shingles.
Such as car accident-related injuries and work-related injuries — including neck and shoulder pain, migraine, frozen shoulder, upper back pain, lower back pain, joint pain, hip and IT band pain, and sciatic nerve pain.
Please read the Google reviews as a reference. I have patients who drove from North Carolina, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland to receive my treatments.
Such as Scoliosis and Arthritis.
Such as Period Pain, Irregular Period, and prolonged menstrual bleeding. I have patients from Delaware and New Jersey who were referred by their gynecologists.
I treat a broad range of additional issues, including:
I provide a personalized recovery plan for each patient and always try my best to help. I always think that patients' happiness is my biggest gain.
