My mother, Audrey Kenny, who is now 85 has been going to Lixin Acupuncture Clinics for regular appointments since December 2007. Her reason for starting was herniated discs in her lower back that in turn caused the sciatic nerve to send pain down her leg and in to her ankle. Her conventional Doctor suggested surgery which has many drawbacks, intense pain and downtime from your life, or spinal injections which are very dangerous. She did go through the injections which did nothing for her. That started the search for alternative medicine. And were we lucky....... we found Lixin right off the bat. He has kept her out of surgery and mobile. She drives her Subaru and is able to keep an active and independent life. But the story doesn't end there...she sprained her ankle really bad January 2013 and once we got her back on schedule to Lixin it was almost instant relief from the pain. This man is truly and expert in his field. I cannot find enough words to describe how professional and talented he is. I would highly recommend him as I am positive he can help you. As a side benefit his clinic offers much more than just acupuncture for a multitude of symptoms. Plus you will get a heavy dose of "peace of mind" knowing you did the right thing. It has been amazing!!!

After 2 months of severe unexplained abdominal pain and invasive procedures deemed necessary by western medicine I found myself with no answers, depressed and hopeless looking for a miracle. I came across Dr. Zhang from an online search and couldn't be happier. I've had just three sessions and my energy is up, I feel happier, my pain is diminishing substantially and I now have hope and faith that I will fully recover and return to hiking, exercise and living my life again. I am very grateful for this doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone who desires true health, healing and well-being.

Dr. Lixin is truly a blessing, and we are all so lucky to have him in Denver! I tell everyone I know to go see him, and he is the one person I know I can count on when Western medicine has failed me. He took away all of my "incurable" RA symptoms within about 8 treatments, when in Western medicine I would be on thousands of dollars worth of medication for the rest of my life with a very low quality of life. Two years later, I am still symptom free. He has also recently helped me get rid of a horrible virus that I had for over four weeks, that I was unable to get rid of with two rounds of strong antibiotics for the subsequent infections which resulted from the virus. I only wish I would have seen him sooner. He has also helped me overcome severe bouts of anxiety and stress over the years. I am hoping to get pregnant in the next couple of years, and if I have any trouble conceiving, Dr. Lixin will be my first call before I ever even think about seeing a fertility specialist! I live in Fort Collins, and it is so worth the drive to see him! If you have any doubts about acupuncture you should definitely give it a chance (make sure to go for the recommended number of treatments, and don't decide after one or two treatments that it isn't working. Depending on the severity of what you are dealing with, it may take a bit of time, but it is truly worth the investment! Dr. Lixin is a treasure for all of us who live within driving distance of his practice!

Working with Dr. Zhang has been life-changing. His treatments have essentially cured my severe Crohn's disease and depression. As someone who had basically tried everything to cope with my confusing autoimmune issues - I found myself feeling exhausted and alone. I reached out to Dr. Zhang in hopes of finding relief (even though I wasn’t sure what that even meant anymore). After just a few months of treatments, I experienced a significant improvement in my digestion, mood and overall reduced pain. I could feel I was healing on a deep level. I always look forward to my appointments because I leave feeling relaxed. It is obvious this is a long-term shift in my health (instead of quick-fix methods that never seemed to last). I feel empowered and hopeful for the first time in years. Deciding to go to Lixin Acupuncture Clinics was truly the best decision. If anyone is on the fence about reaching out - it’s 100% worth it. I feel healthy for the first time in years. My day-to-day mood has improved, and I have more energy. This has been a game-changer for my health, and I am so thankful!

I want to start by saying going to Lixin Acupuncture Clinic is one of the best experiences that I have ever had since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis approximately fifteen years ago. I’ve been on numerous steroid and medical injection treatments for flare-ups of my neurological disorder, MS. They gave me short-term relief with negative drawbacks on my health but the acupuncture treatments really relieve my aches and pains. Recently, I had surgery and as a result it made my pulse weak in my right wrist. After my first acupuncture treatment I was once again able to feel a strong pulse. I’m also gradually beginning to have feeling in my lower extremities and soles of my feet. My balance is better and I’m able to walk on the treadmill without holding on to the handlebars. It feels as though my legs are thawing out and coming to life. I don’t know how this treatment works but thanks to Dr. Li Xin Zhang it is changing my life and I’m beginning to feel “normal” again. I even seem to be sleeping better and have a more positive outlook overall. I am unsure why my results are happening so quickly but I’m grateful and want the world to know.

I feel like he saved my life. I had a baby die shortly after she was born and the grief stopped my period and mg kidney enzymes were elevated. My regular doctor ran 3 pages of blood work but couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I was told to take vitamins. I started going to this place after a recommendation and in a few weeks after drinking his tea and doing acupuncture my period came back, in a several months I had a rainbow pregnancy when I wasn’t even trying to conceive and I have a healthy baby now. I debated on writing something so personal in a review but it was relevant. This practice is everything!

I began seeing Lixin in late February of 2019 for four issues: high cholesterol; chronic cough; ocular pressure and micro colitis. With a combination of needling and herbals, I lost 20 lbs. and my cholesterol numbers improved sufficiently so that I felt confident no longer taking the statin which had been prescribed to me two year prior. The chronic cough was virtually eradicated. After a few months more the ophthalmologist found that several dark spots on the right optic nerve had shrunk in size. Symptoms of the micro colitis have disappeared, although a colonoscopy will only tell how that has improved. Earlier this year, the ocular pressure in one of my eyes had gone down two points, lowering the chance that glaucoma could develop. In the interim I had my annual wellness exam where I was found to have developed a fatty liver. Lixin immediately began treating me for this and within a couple of months my liver enzymes were reading normal again. Furthermore, several months later an ultrasound of my liver showed a marked improvement in appearance. As you might well imagine, I am very pleased with the progress in all these areas and I would like to say that Lixin, in addition to being the quintessential acupuncturist and herbologist, is compassionate, empathetic, caring, and kind. I highly recommend him to anyone having health issues, or those who want to use acupuncture as a prophylactic. I would like to add that Adam Drajam, the acupuncturist/office manager, is very professional, friendly and helpful, which makes the office visit that much more pleasant.

Li Xin Zhang has completely turned my health around! I was encouraged to visit because of his background of being the 10th generation of his family’s Chinese medicine practice. I started seeing Li Xin a couple of years ago at the age of 77. After about 75 yrs of quite good health I had a pretty serious downturn. I had serious digestive issues resulting in reflux and bloating and having to be very careful about what and when I ate. I also experienced swallowing problems, anxiety and mid back pain of unknown origin. I felt like energy would be rising up to my head especially in the evenings, causing lightheadedness and anxiety. This combined with ongoing tinnitus felt, at times, like my head was going to explode! It was difficult to travel with all of these issues, especially the anxiety and tinnitus. I needed to take a bluetooth headband with my so I could use soothing sounds in order to get to sleep. Even so I would wake up later for a couple of hours before I got tired enough to go back to sleep, I wasn’t able to sleep through the night except on rare occasions. In general I was a mess! I had consulted my GP without much help. I then went to a Naturopath that I had worked with in the past. Limited improvement. Soon after starting treatment with Li Xin I noticed a marked increase in sexual energy! The back pain disappeared quickly. In the weeks that followed my digestive system got much stronger, anxiety level went way down and all of the other symptoms faded away. I could feel my general health and sense of well being returning to what I had maybe 20 or more years ago! The tinnitus decreased somewhat but the big change is that it moved to the background and is not very intrusive…I have to listen for it to even be aware of it! I am now able to sleep through the night most of the time, something that I haven’t done regularly for maybe 35 years! This is a huge improvement, so that I can wake up refreshed having had a healing rest overnight. I found Li Xin easy to work with and very responsive to my needs. He also provided a lot of useful information on diet, exercise and life style in general. Li Xin is treasure in our community! I strongly recommend seeing him if you have any health problems.

I first visited Lixin Acupuncture Clinic in September, 2020, for severe leg pain. I initially thought it was the sciatic nerve but it was muscular. Adam has treated me for that and other issues that surfaced during the initial treatments. He is very knowledgeable on Traditional Chinese Medicine and provided great treatments, including acupuncture, cupping, and Tui-Na Massage, along with herbal therapies. Using tongue and pulse diagnosis, Adam identified other underlying issues affecting my pain and my overall wellness. We modified the treatment plan and I have seen improvement in my liver function (from lab tests and pulse readings). My energy is better and I just feel better. TCM is the best approach to wellness. Results are not immediate, nor should they be. This is not like western medicine where you take a pill to treat symptoms. TCM treats the root cause. I highly recommend Lixin Acupuncture Clinic and Adam Drajam for treatment of numerous health matters. It is amazing what they can do!

I first visited Lixin several years ago after a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk into his office and after the first treatment, walked normally and returned to regular walking, running and hiking. After two more visits I had no heel pain whatsoever. At Lixin’s suggestion I began having tune-ups every six months to keep my body in balance, increase strength and aid in combating stress. My overall sense of well-being prevails. Recently I experienced severe pain in my right hip that radiated down the outside of my leg to my ankle. I saw Lixin immediately and began treatment. I also saw my primary care doctor at Kaiser Permanente. After a complete exam she prescribed acupuncture, yoga and provided exercises I could begin to do when the intense pain subsided. I am grateful that acupuncture provides drug-free non-invasive treatment in a calm environment where the body is able to begin to heal itself. I am even more grateful that I have become a patient of Lixin. Karen Morin

I have been treated by Lixin for a year for severe fatigue and other health issues due to Long Covid. He is an incredible doctor and healer. When western medicine completely failed my severe and chronic health condition, I turned to Chinese Medicine. I sought out the best care I could find locally and decided to try Lixin based on the incredible stories found in these reviews. After working with dozens of providers in western medicine and continuing to decline, I finally found the first provider who understood how to treat my debilitating fatigue. I learned to think differently about medicine, as I had never stepped foot in any sort of alternative medicine clinic, let alone tried Chinese Medicine. Now, I can't fathom why we call this medicine 'Alternative'. I wish I had started here, as I have made slow but steady progress under Lixin's care. Lixin has adapted his care to me and my individual health needs as they have fluctuated, he has been a strong source of encouragement, and his office is extremely pleasant & easy to visit - quite opposite of the 100+ appointments and treatment I endured under western medicine providers. Lixin has also provided guidance on diet and lifestyle that contribute to my healing. Most importantly though, the treatment I am receiving is effective. Although I still have a ways to go to recover my health, I am finally optimistic I will actually do so. Lixin is slowly giving me my life back. On top of this, Lixin is determined, professional, has excellent bedside manner, and his practice will work diligently with your insurance! I strongly encourage anyone suffering from chronic & severe conditions, especially those deemed mysterious or incurable by the western medical community, to be seen by Lixin.

Teen Anxiety, Depression and Related Conditions. Our teen was faced with anxiety and depression, and suffered from related conditions including ear ringing, ulnar nerve syndrome, severe abdominal pain, weight loss, sleeplessness and more. We tried western doctors, pharmaceuticals, and counseling for years. Nothing worked and the side effects from the meds were unbearable. The pandemic made things much worse. Lixin met with our teen, diagnosed the condition and was confident that acupuncture and herbs over time would work. Our teen committed to the regimen. For a year, our teen did acupuncture twice a week and home-made tea once a day. The recovery was slow but persistent. The health steadily improved over nine months. With Lixin's treatment and help, during this past year, our teen has continued to explore independence, attend college away from home, moved in with friends, and traveled alone. In other words, LiXin diagnosed the problems, designed a treatment plan, and the plan worked.
