Degenerative Eye Treatment
Specialized treatment program for retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, and glaucoma combines micro-acupuncture with Western medical diagnostics. Treatment includes comprehensive consultations, visual field testing, and multiple acupuncture sessions tailored to individual eye conditions. Our protocol integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern ophthalmological approaches to address both symptoms and underlying causes of vision deterioration.
Micro Acupuncture
48-point acupuncture system targeting eye-specific meridians discovered in Denmark. This specialized technique stimulates ocular circulation and nerve function for treating macular degeneration and other vision disorders. Certified practitioners use precise needle placement in hands and feet to deliver non-invasive eye therapy without direct ocular contact, following protocols developed by leading experts in the field.
Electro Acupuncture
Advanced acupuncture technique applying low-voltage electrical currents between needles to enhance treatment effects. Particularly effective for neurological conditions and chronic pain management, this method amplifies traditional acupuncture's benefits through controlled stimulation of acupoints. Treatment addresses musculoskeletal pain, nerve damage, and certain eye conditions with adjustable intensity settings.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations using FDA-certified herbs from Sun Ten and Brion Herbs Corporation. Our pharmacopeia includes traditional Chinese herbal combinations and Standard Process whole-food supplements to support systemic healing. Practitioners create personalized regimens addressing specific health concerns while complementing acupuncture treatments and maintaining strict quality control standards.
Cupping Therapy
Traditional Chinese therapy using glass cups to create localized suction at acupuncture points. This technique promotes circulation, relieves muscle tension, and facilitates detoxification through enhanced lymphatic drainage. Practitioners strategically place cups on meridian pathways to optimize energy flow and address chronic pain conditions through non-invasive mechanical stimulation.

Report
My father, 92-year-old, had two lumbar spine fusion surgery and continued back pain. He refused further surgeries due to bad post surgical experience after the second surgery. Eight out of 10 chronic back pain. With Dr Lee Huang's acupuncture therapy, there is significant pain improvement eliminating the need of pain medication which had side effects of constipation. My father told me to write a great review for this practice. Very caring, accommodating and, most importantly, effective. Sincere appreciation from your patient, Anjun.

Lee is an excellent practitioner and I got really good results from her treatment for a cold. Within 2 days of receiving treatment, I was up and about with plenty of energy I didn't have before the treatment. She is very thorough in assessing her patients as well as skillful in her placement of the acupuncture needles. I was able to relax and rest while the effects of acupuncture took place. I highly recommend Lee Huang of Able Acupuncture on Mercer Island to support your body in its amazing healing abilities!

I had been suffering from sleepless nights and a foggy brain for a couple months. I wanted to try acupuncture and was referred to Able Acupuncture by two different people. I'm so glad to have found Lee because after approximately 8 visits and some effective herbal medicine, not only am I sleeping better than I have in months and my brain fog lifted, but I've also noticed a remarkable increase in energy and a decrease in anxiety that I haven't felt in a few years!
I will definitely continue to see Lee for maintenance treatments to prolong this newly found balance she's helped me to achieve. Glad I found her and will be happy to refer anyone to her wonderful practice!

I highly recommend Able Acupuncture to anyone looking for quality and consistent service from an acupuncturist who knows what she's doing. Lee is professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and is also an excellent example of someone who lives a balanced and healthy lifestyle. She practices what she preaches, which I believe, keeps her very in tune with people and their state of health. Every time I have come in for treatment I have left feeling listened to, well cared for and physically better. I completely trust her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
