Five Elements Acupuncture & Wellness

"This is the most satisfying experience I have ever had. I have had shoulder and back pain for about five or six months already, and I have tried many different places for acupuncture and massage. But this place is amazing."

"Dr. Lu is an excellent acupuncturist. I have had various acupuncture doctors over the years but all seem to have had no (to very little) effect on my overall condition. When I got Bell's Palsy at end-October, I went to Dr. Lu at Five Elements Acupuncture & Wellness in Montgomery Medical Clinic, Gaithersburg, MD, for the first time. Her expertise and advanced acupuncture techniques lead to a near-full recovery from the effects of Bell's Palsy within a month. As such, I highly recommend Dr. Lu. Her staff are also very helpful and nice. I intend to continue to seek treatments from Dr. Lu to address other issues."

"I am very grateful for the care I received from Dr. Lu. She is exceptional! She is not only knowledgeable, compassionate, and always takes the time to listen to my concerns, but also very caring and kind. I have recommended her to all my family and friends. The staff at Dr. Lu's office is friendly, professional, and always make me feel welcome and comfortable. The office is super nice and clean. Dr. Lu diagnoses my conditions accurately and always provides me with effective treatment. I can feel the improvement right away. I am very satisfied with the progress. I highly recommend Dr. Lu."

"This place is a hidden gem! I have been dealing with shoulder issues as well as upper back and neck pain and discomfort. I had just done physical therapy before my session with Dr. Lu and was feeling extremely stiff and sore. I got my treatment which included massage, suctioning, and accupuncture. I could barely use the steering wheel or lift my arm on the way over. But when I left, my arm and shoulder felt so much relief and my range of motion was noticeably better. Upon leaving I was offered a delicious warm cup of tea. Little things like this let you know they really care. Cant wait to come back. Highly reccomend. Plus they are covered by most insurance!"

"I have recommended Dr. Lu and Five Elements to anyone who needs healing. The care I received sped up my healing from a bad fall I took while out running on a trail. It would not have been possible to recover so quickly without their intervention. They also offer massage and cupping. Please run to this business they are fantastic."

"Honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Lu and her team. Every appointment Dr. Lu always took time to sit down with me and understand exactly what was going on and the progress that had been made. She pays very close attention to detail and cares very deeply for her patients. Would definitely recommend!"

"Dr. Lu is amazing! I had never had acupuncture before, but now I am a believer. Dr. Lu's healing hands have literally improved my quality of life since day one. She listens to my immediate needs as well as treating my long term issues. She is patient and kind and truly takes her time with me. Her massage therapist is pretty awesome as well. I love going there because every time I go, I always come out feeling so much better. Thank you Dr. Lu! "

"Dr. Min Lu is a national treasure!! I had been dealing with chronic ankle pain after I tore a ligament in 2023. I went through rounds of PT, wearing a boot, steroid shots, and nothing was able to take the pain away completely. Just 2 sessions with Dr. Lu and my pain was completely gone. She is now helping me with back pain. I've recommended her to many friends who have had similar positive experiences with her! She is patient, kind, understanding and really devotes her time to her patients which is so unlike any medical doctors today. Go see her, you will not regret it!"
