Our Story
Our Beginning
Dr. Du was a renowned neurologist M.D. (1965-1988) at Beijing Xuan-Wu hospital, Beijing, China, whose neurology department is the top neurology department in China. Since 1969 he has also studied and practiced transitional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture to combine with Western Medicine to treat his patients and obtain satisfactory curative effects.
Our Journey
From 1988 to 1990, Dr. Du was an exchange visiting scholar, working and studying at the Department of Clinic Rehabilitation and Neurology of Medical School of State University of New York at Buffalo. From 1990 to 2000, Dr. Du worked as a clinical senior scientist at a department of neurology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY.
Our Practice
Dr. Du, who graduated from Capital University of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China in 1965, has been practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine in greater Atlanta for the past 10 years. Dr. Du collaborates harmoniously with the Clinic of Foundation Recovery Network, Roswell, GA to treat patients.
Our Difference
In our clinic, Dr. Du has helped a lot of patients who had exhausted traditional western medicine and treatments, and saw no improvement to their health issues. He would study the patient’s previous diagnosis and then tackle the issues using traditional Chinese methods. Pain management is one major issue he has treated in this manner as well as withdrawal syndrome due to drugs or alcohol addiction.

FAQ’s
Acupuncture and moxibustion are two of oldest forms of healing known to people. It is an important branch of Traditional Chinese medicine, that originated in China over 5000 years ago. However, they are still considered new overseas, so here are some of the most frequently asked questions.
Fees cover all treatments performed during the visit. The first visit usually takes about an hour and a half. Follow up visits are usually an hour long. Any herbs that are prescribed and ordered are at an additional cost.
This includes consultation, examination and acupuncture treatment. If clinically needed, we may also perform acupressure, electro-acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, or Tui Na.
This covers all treatments. Herbs will be charged separately.
We accept cash or check as forms of payment.
In Georgia, acupunture is not yet fully covered by health insurance. However, a number of health insurance companies have benefit coverages, such as discounts, for acupuncture program. Please check with your health insurance company to see what benefits are available to you.
We help our clients to complete insurance claim forms with ICD code and CPT code. You can directly send the form to your health insurance company. Then the company will reimburse you in full or partially. For auto-accident injury patients, we also help our clients to complete insurance claim forms, so you can directly send it to the auto insurance company for reimbursements.
Acupuncture is a method of preventing, diagnosing, treating many common diseases by inserting metal needles into the body surface of designated locations, called acupuncture points, at various depths and angles. Classical acupuncture involves the insertion and manipulation of filiform acupuncture needles through the skin to specific points on the body for the purpose of regulating life energy in order to achieve therapeutic results. Modern technology has produced a variety of new techniques, including the application of pressure, heat, cold, electricity, microwave, lasers and even magnetism to selected points. Points may also be stimulated electrically by placing an electrode on top of the needle, or directly on the skin (without a needle). Acupuncture can be a valuable addition to general medical practice.
Moxibustion involves the burning of a special herb called moxa (Artemesia vulgaris) in the form of cones or rolls above selected points on the body (not directly on the skin). The warm heat and evaporated plant oil thus generated is therapeutic for treating a number of medical problems. It can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture depending on the nature and condition of the ailment.
No, the purpose of acupuncture treatment is to correct the underlying causes ( the imbalance of the life force). Once the imbalance has been corrected, symptoms often don’t occur. That is especially true if the illness is recent, the patient isn’t too advanced in age, and if he or she is in relatively good health. In cases where a disease has progressed too far, it is often possible to give sufficient relief so that one can resume reasonable activities, and may even prevent it from developing further.
No, usually the acupuncture needle can hardly be felt at all. Sometimes, a slight pricking sensation may be felt. Once in place, the acupuncture needle may cause a light tingling, numbness, soreness, or heaviness. This needling sensation is the body’s natural reaction to the stimulation of the needle. The size of acupuncture needle is only 1/5 of the size of the needle used for injection. Also we employ a special insertion technique that makes skin penetration almost pain free.
Some patients feel more energetic, or more relaxed after an acupuncture treatment. For those seeking pain control, it’s possible to have some discomfort the day following an acupuncture session for the initial few sessions. This is an indication of positive response. It is the overall, long-term benefits that can occur from acupuncture that we are striving to achieve. Improvement may occur immediately after the first treatment or not seen until after the 10th treatment.
The number of treatments varies not only with the type of illness and extent of ailments, but also based on the age of the patient, his or her general state of health, and how long they had a particular symptom. For many common illness of recent onset, 2-6 treatments will usually suffice. Severe or chronic cases will generally require more treatments, however some patients may respond quickly. After all the symptoms have gone, several more treatments are recommended to produce a longer lasting relief or remission.
It’s important to have eaten some solid food so you don’t come to treatment feeling hungry. It’s also important not to be too tired or under the influence of alcohol, excessive coffee (or caffeine-containing tea or soda), or a heavy meal. On the day of treatment, optional drugs such painkillers, tranquilizers, and non-prescription drugs should be avoided if all possible. However, you should take the medication that has been prescribed by your doctor. After treatment, try to avoid anything very hot and very cold and avoid extremes such as steam baths, cold plunges, and so on. You should plan a relaxed evening. You may shower or take a bath before treatment but don’t shower or bath afterwards until the following day.
