In clinic, Dr. Kao begins with Chinese medical pattern differentiation, reads your state through years of qigong practice, and treats with acupuncture that retains qi and with herbal prescriptions. Observing qi is his personal clinical method and the core of his style.
After a life-changing insight he vowed to heal through medicine. Years later he found that complete qigong lives not in outer forms but in thought and character. He wrote books and opened courses, reaching Chinese-speaking communities worldwide.

Acupuncture outperforms sham and non-acupuncture controls for chronic pain, with benefit lasting more than a year. Systematic reviews find qigong and tai chi help bone density, heart–lung function, balance, and quality of life. [1][2]
An individual-patient meta-analysis of 20,827 people in 39 trials found acupuncture better than sham for back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, and chronic headache. Tai chi improved fibromyalgia more than equal aerobic exercise. Mindfulness training has been linked with change in prefrontal, cingulate, and insular regions. [1][3][4]
These papers teach a frame. They do not guarantee a personal result. The medicine of qi complements modern care; it does not replace a qualified physician.
