Said Isayed is a Traditional Chinese medicine doctor who graduated from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine after a six year Bachelor’s program in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Allopathic medicine. Said spent five years interning in several Chinese hospitals and clinics, training under some of the most well-respected doctors of Chinese medicine. He focused strongly on the treatment of neurological diseases, auto immune disorders, men’s and women's health, orthopedic injuries, mental health and painful musculoskeletal conditions.
In addition to acupuncture, Said is well versed in several types of bodywork including Chinese fire cupping, hijama (traditional Arabic cupping), tuina (Chinese medical massage) and guasha. He also practices Chinese and Arabic herbal medicine and grows and processes his own herbs.
In 2016, Said relocated from Hebron, Palestine to Minneapolis, MN. He is fluent in English, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.
Susan Smith is his patient who was able to find him after years of struggling with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRSP). For 25 years, she existed in a wheelchair, only getting worse with treatments and medications, living in constant pain, basically being in bed 20 plus hours a day.
Now, after years of treatment with Said, she is out of her wheelchair, engaged in her community and sharing all that she's learned from Said about Traditional Chinese medicine to support others who have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
