Lakewood Acupuncture Clinic

This place was in a small area, basically like a hole in the wall. They only speak Korean and Chinese I believe as they really don’t speak any English. They only accept cash or check, and do accept medical insurance. I asked how much it would be without it and was very surprised at how reasonable and low it was compared to the one I went to near my home in diamond bar, where that acupuncturist had very good reviews.
I went to that guy before months ago for stiff neck, which was great cause it was so effective. Well I went to him earlier in the week, he must have only used like 5 needles. Soon after I left though the pain was still there and remained so for the rest of the day.
Every place was closed today because of being July 4^th. I drove by and happened to see the «open» sign. The doctor who was probably in his late sixties and early seventies, I explained the pain under my left shoulder blade like a muscle I couldn’t pull or like a knot I couldn’t massage out. He examined me and then asked if I had been eating well. Dang, how did he know? I explained that I was diabetic and didn’t eat well for days prior to this. He put needles on my legs, foot, stomach, and on my head. After a while then he took them out, had me turn over then our needles in the back I’d my neck and the affected area and also had a machine that sent electrical pulses. After a few minutes he then asked me to rotate my head and neck while he felt my back side asking if it hurts. Wow, the pain was gone! The doctor also explained that he used traditional eastern techniques rather then the western ones (didn’t know there was a difference), after u explained to him how u saw an acupuncturist days before.
I will definitely come back here again soon because after a few hours the pain was coming back a little, he did say that treatment can’t be done after only one visit. Overall, definitely worth the price as he charged almost half of what I paid the other guy.
