"I came in for shoulder pain issues. Dr. Huang was able to quickly diagnose what the primary causes were and applied different treatments including cupping therapy. Within a few visits, I noticed a vast improvement in pain levels and mobility with my shoulder. Dr. Huang is very professional and knowledgeable. In addition to the treatment, he offered different types of stretching that has also furthered the healing process for me. I would definitely recommend!"
