My Experience Seeking Medical Treatment in Hohhot

I am a herder. I couldn’t write this testimonial on my own, so a friend helped me put it together.

I've worked herding livestock in the pastoral areas my whole life, and my back and neck gave out long ago. Eventually the lower back pain got so bad I couldn't straighten up, my left leg was numb all the way down to the top of my foot, and I'd wake up in pain every time I turned over at night. The local hospital said I needed major surgery — I was too frightened to go through with it.

While chatting with a friend, he said, "Why not ask IveelVita? It costs nothing to ask — see what they have to say." So I registered with IveelVita and submitted a medical consultation request. That very afternoon someone called me, asked about my condition and my family situation, and explained the treatment costs and other expenses. It all seemed acceptable to me — cheaper than I had imagined. Later I told my friend about the plan and the costs IveelVita had given me, and he said it was cheaper than he'd expected too, and encouraged me to go to China for treatment.

When I got to Hohhot, the doctor looked at my MRI and said: yes, there is compression, but it hasn't reached the point where major open surgery is unavoidable — we can start with a minimally invasive procedure. A transforaminal endoscopic discectomy, with an incision of only about one centimeter. I had it done that same day, and the next day I could walk while holding onto the wall. After surgery I had a week of rehabilitation therapy, and the therapist taught me how to bend over correctly and how to exercise my back muscles.

It's been three months since I returned home. The numbness in my leg is gone, and I can sleep through the night. My wife says I can now work on the fence all day long.

This time I want to thank IveelVita for their professional service, and I hope they keep getting better and better.

Let me also mention one more thing. A friend of mine traveled to Hohhot together with me. Through the cross-border medical coordination services of the IveelVita platform, my companion and I went to Hohhot for treatment, and my friend's condition did not require surgery. The IveelVita platform recommended the "Five Therapies" green treatment of Mongolian medicine for my friend — a combination of Mongolian massage, acupuncture, cupping, and hot compresses — applied continuously for seven days, and the pain in his lower back and legs improved significantly. The practitioner who treated my friend was the renowned Mongolian medicine inheritor Dr. Yang Liancheng, whose rich clinical experience and distinctive techniques fully demonstrate the unique strengths of traditional Mongolian medicine. IveelVita has opened up a cross-border medical channel, with smooth service and professional resource coordination. It is a trustworthy platform for Mongolian patients coming to Inner Mongolia for Mongolian medicine treatment.

My heartfelt thanks to the IveelVita platform, and to Dr. Yang Liancheng as well!
