Richard Cheung

Thank you Dr. Cheung. Rewind five months — I’m on the phone to schedule appointment for imagine of my lower back. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain off and on for years. In the past few months it steadily worsened to the point where I had numb toes, tingling feet, etc. Alarming to say the least. I’m not in the best shape, but not too bad either. Wife and friends all went to and still go see Dr. Cheung so I figured I’d give it a go. Set up a consult, «adjustment» and some time in his training gym (adjacent to his office) to improve my stretching methods.
I’ll spare you the clinical evaluation he gave me (which was spot on from my gangster lean while driving, to staring down at my mobile all the time, to slouching, and hunching while I walk… What I liked about him was his step by step approach. You can’t go changing everything in a week he told me. One thing at a time.
We:
— Set up a stand up work space so I can split my time ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ in the office standing and sitting
— Twice daily simple stretches to loosen up hamstrings (that were more like guitar strings)
— Be aware of my posture and make adjustments
— Modified my exercise routine to include more core and more flexibility
— Returned weekly for a couple months for ultra sound, some kind of TENs system, and adjustments and retraining on stretching etc.
It was not easy. Stretching hurts when you haven’t done it for a decade. But overall I’m 95% better than I was before and still working on it. I never did go for imaging. I don’t think I need to. I was convinced I had a slipped disc or something. But Dr. Cheung disagreed. Said he was certain it was muscle related. Sure enough, he was right.
Great doctor. Great guy. Always engaging conversation. Always on time. Adjustments feel fantastic. And he is a wealth of information. Always researching, sharing, etc.
I’m hesitant to share this with the Unilocal world as it might be harder to get an appointment with him.
Have pain? Need a new exercise routine? Go see him.

Dr Cheung is probably one of the best professionals I have dealt with. The Physical Therapy and Chiropractic he does is a great combo.
Personally, he is a great guy to talk fitness and will put you to the test!

Dr Cheung is a solid chiropractor who has a background in physicial therapy. He works ethically in good conscience and provides excellent hands-​on skills. He uses a balanced technique of spinal manipulation with soft-​tissue work and physical therapy. He can supervise directed exercises that can be practiced on site and at home.
I recommend him without hesitation.
