Acupuncture in Fountain Valley

“My back went out on me in January. I was having lower back pain for about two months. I tried everything I could think of. I was icing my back, using heat on my back, and doing a series of stretching and core strengthening exercises. I thought I would be able to heal this on my own. I found Dr. Balta’s office online. I decided to give it a try. His office staff is very friendly and professional. My first visit was more of a consultation. I had a chance to meet with one of his doctors on staff. They discussed treatment plans with me. They sent me for x-rays before providing any treatment. I started my treatment the following week after getting my x-ray results I noticed a huge difference after about the second or third visit. right now I’m on visit number 10. When I started going to Doctor Baltas office my pain level was around four or five. My pain level is now at level zero. I feel 100% better. I definitely recommend his office if you are experiencing back pain.“

““I received acupuncture a few times with Tina and on the last occasion I had lower back pain. I’ d had other bodywork which helped but the session with Tine really helped on a deeper level and continued the healing for a couple of weeks after. I am always very impressed by Tina’s knowledge and intuition and highly recommend her work.Helena Gorka (Yoga instructor and Workshop Facilitator.)“

“Tina is so warm and and so dedicated to women's health and healing. I was initially seeking help with womb trauma and hormonal balance, and I have already been noticing such great improvement in such a short amount of time. I honestly couldn't believe how fast I was seeing results. After trying so many routes for hormonal balance, I am so grateful for her as she is the only one who has truly helped me heal. I highly recommend Tina and her services!“

“Dr. Choe treated my lower back pain with multiple acupuncture sessions along with wet cupping. Very few places if any have the proper techniques and knowledge to perform "wet cupping", which is highly effective.He is very skilled in his traditional medicine techniques and truly knowledgeable with decades of experience!“

“I am Tiffanie I am 34 years old. For work I am a loan officer so as you can imagine it can be quite stressful, a lot of things out of our control, a lot of moving parts always. As I love what I do I also need ways to keep my stress low and mental health in tact.For me I use running and the gym as my stress outlet. I run 30-45 miles a week and I put a marathon every few months.This December I was in the Honolulu marathon, I was going to use it to qualify for Boston, but my body had other plans.2 weeks before I got an ankle pain and ran anyways turned full blown injury pretty quickly.Once I came back, Dr.Stefanie Bennett gave me a consult and recommended that we do 8 sessions in 2 weeks. She explained for me as an athlete with an injury it is most effective to do them close together.I have never used acupuncture for an injury before, it has been over 2 years since I had one.What an experience!? She was great as well as her staff, all so warm and welcoming.By session 6 my limp was almost gone and by session 8 i was no longer limping.On top of removing the pain and restoring my mobility, she put needles in my forehead for stress and on my head for energy, also the top back of my head where she explained this would help my back not reconstruct my walk due to the limping like literally amazing she covered all the basis, I truly felt she cared about my well being and understood my struggle of not being able to do my everyday activities! ?and I am happy to announce I am back in the gym doing what I love in just 2 short weeks! Highly recommended! Thank you so much Dr. Stefanie. ?“

“Had my first visit to Susan Shao Acupuncture in Fountain Valley yesterday. The patient experience was excellent and the diagnosis and treatment were very effective. Acupuncturist Shao was thorough and patiently listened to my concerns regarding acute chronic pain. Much of her diagnosis was same/similar as my Primary Care and neurosurgeons. She did not over-promise, telling me not to expect total pain relief because of permanent nerve damage from surgery. However, she is confident her treatments would reduce stress my pain and hopefully prevent increased pain. She also encouraged my active participation by doing recommended daily exercises at home to augment her treatment. Today, a day after treatment, I feel less pain. I intend to get more treatments until the effects of treatment plateau.“

“I have been a patient of hers for close to a year. She has done wonders for me. Healed from my back pain. Go twice a month . She has truly blessed my way of living.“

“Dede and the scheduling team were very nice and professional, and very patient with me! They kept trying to find a date and time for me that worked. Mario was my masseuse and he was professional and very firm. He got all the places I told him about and I felt very physically relaxed afterwards.“
