I went to Dr. Chang for my shoulder and back pain. I had shoulder pain for about an year and back pain for 7-8 years. She created a treatment plan with multiple exercises, sitting posture improvement, vibration therapy, activator adjustment instrument, massage and hot/cold gel. After about 10 visits, my shoulder pain was completely gone. My back pain issue improved a lot. She didn't use acupuncture as my insurance didn't cover it. June is great too. Her massage was helpful part of the treatment and is easy to communicate for appointments and followups. Highly recommended.

If you are having any pain run if you can to see Dr Shin and his team. I have been coming to see them for years. Very good at diagnosis and treatment. My husband had arthritis in his hip and they said they could help with the pain management but he needs to see a hip doctor and eventually get a replacement. It was all true. I saw them first for infertility, I have 2 kids now.

Saved my life! Dr. Chang is the first doctor who listened to my chronic pain issues and actually took it seriously. I had two major car accidents that left my lower back weak and caused bad TMJ. After dealing with dentists, chiropractors, PCPs, and ENTs who blew off my pain as "all in my head" I was desperate. Under my Kaiser insurance I had two free acupuncture appointments a month, so I decided to try it. After just 2 visits, I finally started to feel less pain in my lower back and neck. Dr. Chang really is thorough and kind, she wrote down all my complaints, and checked in with my pain level at every visit. She made me feel like I deserved to be healthy. Dr. Chang really paid attention to my mobility issues (I am only 32) and was able to request more visits based on the severity of my condition. I have been going to acupuncture about once a week and it has reduced my average pain level from a 7/10 to a 3/10. This is huge as it has reduced my anxiety and allows me to exercise more and made bigger steps towards losing weight and changing my habits. It is also a really relaxing experience. I had no idea acupuncture was so calming and healing. I was able to release a lot of my pent up pain and frustration caused by the pain and lack of mobility. I will keep going to her indefinitely - acupuncture has been the most effective tool in my health journey. As for the office - safe location in Glendale, free plentiful parking in the building, not too busy, clean office (you go in and use a touch-less thermometer and hand sanitizer in the lobby) and there is a clean restroom on the same floor. Easy and convenient.
