Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves strategic needle placement to regulate energy flow and address various health conditions. Our practitioners use this ancient technique to treat chronic pain, stress disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. With over 25 years serving Wichita, we've successfully improved patient outcomes through personalized acupuncture sessions combined with complementary therapies.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations target specific health concerns while supporting overall wellness. This science-backed approach prevents and treats conditions like hypertension, digestive disorders, and hormonal imbalances.

I was extremely pleased with Dr. Gao's acupuncture treatments for shortness of breath and long-term facial neuropathy I had. He is the first acupuncturist I have visited; I was very pleased with my experience. Dr. Gao listens to patients, and is an interesting, caring, skilled doctor.

Wow! All I can say! I had SEVERE neck and shoulder pain for over 6 months with no relief from massages, Chiropractic care, muscle relaxers or physical therapy. After my first appointment at Evergreen Wellness I had MUCH improvement by day 2 with continued daily improvement. IM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED! Prior to my first visit I was totally ignorant to Acupuncture and figured since I had exhausted all other avenues it was worth a chance.
I'm SO VERY GRATEFUL and still in disbelief of the rapid recovery I experienced. Moving forward Acupuncture will be my first option/Evergreen Wellness for any health problems I am experiencing. Thank you Doctor!

Last week I was due to have my left knee replaced. Three years before, I had already had arthroscopic surgery on both knees. The surgeon then had told me the left would likely need a full replacement but the right would probably be ok. As surgery approached, I began t develop pain in my right knee ("overcompensating" the docs said), and made an appointment to see Dr. Gao, in hopes I'd have at least one pain-free knee.
He stuck some needles in my right ear and told me to walk across the office. In much less time than it has taken me to type these words, my pain vanished. Gone. My left replacement went fine, and still my right knee is PAIN-FREE. Dr. Gao is a talented, competent, miracle worker.
