Dr. Xu, as a surgeon and acupuncturist, learned and developed his professional experience while
working along side his father Dr. Changsheng Xu, a world-renowned
professor and chief surgeon and he was the founder of acupuncture anesthesia in
the department of surgery at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,
Shanghai China. Most significant for Dr. Mark C. Xu is his ability to combine western
and eastern medical knowledge and practice WE medicine in innovative and effective
ways in order to handle clinical challenges.
One of Dr. Xu’s earliest successful acupuncture experiences is after performing an abdominal surgery, he found himself dealing with a complication from the epidural anesthesia. Normally a patient’s intestines begin to move after two days, but after three days and counting, the paralysis was causing gas formation and extreme bloating in the abdominal cavity. To solve this complication, Dr. Xu performed acupuncture to promote bowel movement and after several hours this critical condition began to resolve itself as normal bowel function began to resume.
He has healed a number of chronic diseases such as: Musculoskeletal Pain, Sciatica, Men’s health & Impotence, Women’s health & Infertility, Stress, Migraine, Bell’s palsy, Anxiety & Depression and more …
