Walnut Creek Acupuncture

I went one time! I was healed after first treatment. I never had to go back. I highly recommend. I also like that the bed/ table that you lay on for treatment is warm. You can't help but to totally relax.

If you're having any pain, muscle strains, sprains, spasms, etc. then this is the place for you. Dr. Kang is simply amazing at his craft. My family and I have visited his office multiple times and every time we go in because of an issue, he magically treats us. (I went in for shoulder and back pain for always sitting at a desk, mom for back pain and digestive issues, stepdad for pain after a car accident). My mom recently visited the office a few weeks ago because she was having extreme back pain/aches. It seemed like there was a huge muscle knot in the middle of her back, but we wanted to go get professional help from Dr. Kang in order to solve the issue. A week before, she got acupuncture at Kaiser because the cost was covered, but it did not help her at all. I think each acupuncturist definitely has their own way of doing acupuncture and I'm in no place to judge since I am not an acupuncturist myself, but my grandfather is a retired acupuncturist and my mom and I both grew up getting acupuncture from him. From what I saw and what my mom expressed, they don't push in the acupuncture needle deep enough at Kaiser to really target the muscles and problem areas. Anyways, the point is that Dr. Kang made my mom's back pain/ache go away by just one session. How amazing is that! I also love that he is not a doctor who is hungry for money. He never tells you to come more than you need to and not in a careless way. When we asked if we need to come again he said to just come if the pain happens to become unbearable again. However, there was no need for that. The pain was already much better on day 1, even though there was still some pain left. And after a few days, the pain was completely gone. Procedure: Acupuncture & cupping therapy. Their cupping machine is super cool. Their cups are connected to the machine and it basically gives you a massage and feels really good. I don't know how to explain it HAHA you have to try it out for yourself. If you don't have a high pain tolerance though it might hurt for you but it's a good kind of pain that will release muscle tension/knots I believe. Price: $100 on your very first visit, $70 for every session after that. This may sound a bit pricey compared to some rates in places like San Jose where they have more acupuncture offices. However, it's still not considered that expensive and I rather still go here because I know that Dr. Kang is great at what he does and it works every time. Some places may be cheaper or even free (Kaiser for us), but it took many more sessions to treat issues we had or didn't even help at all. If you're hesitant and skeptical about acupuncture and other East Asian medical practices, just try it out. Like really, it doesn't hurt to try and you won't know how effective it may be on you until you do. In my opinion, it's much more effective and a faster treatment process than taking medicine for pain so I highly recommend it and especially recommend getting it here at Walnut Creek Acupuncture!

Dr.Kang has looked after all my family members for the past 10 years. My two girls grew up with his medicine every 2 years and he continues to help my elderly parents with their back pain and various treatments. I practice his massage tips and apply to my day to day living. I highly recommend Walnut Creek Acupuncture!
