Jun Song, LAC

I came here hoping to help cure a back problem that I started having a couple of months ago.
I had a pinched nerve in the upper middle of my back near the spine. It has been bothering me for a couple of months. It was so bad that my left triceps and left chest was affected. It was very weak, a considerable amount. I felt tingling on my fingers. I couldn’t push as much as how I usually do. And the muscles fatigued easily. I couldn’t even shoot a basketball without using a lot of strength with my left arm. This was a first time to experience this problem. After lifting weights for +/​-​15 years, I knew it’s a bad injury that needed treatment and was really concerned.
Before I came here, I tried a chiropractor and a physical therapist. Both have given me exercises and stretching routines. I would feel relief temporarily, but after a couple of hours pain and discomfort returns. I would feel the need to do them again. In addition, I also tried swimming, hoping that the movements would help stretch and strengthen my back. With all the things I was doing, there’s was no change.
I decided to try acupuncture and see Dr. Song. I’ve been seeing him for about 2 months. During my first visit, Dr. Song told me what to expect and his methods. He went through step by step to what he was doing, as he was doing it. I told him where the problem was (upper middle back) and what had happened. One of the places he performed acupuncture was at my neck. As soon as he put in the first needle, I remembered that It was there where the pain had started, before my back pain and lost my strength. I didn’t even tell him that. After the 1^st treatment, my back felt better and the pain was less during that week. I still felt the pitching. I didn’t feel like doing the stretches or the need to crack my back. I was more comfortable than the previous couple of months. Every week that I go there’s an improvement with the pain and pinching. Now My back is significantly a lot better. Pinching in my back is almost completely gone. I can barely tell it’s there. The strength to my left arm is back. I haven’t started lifting weights yet but I’m able to shoot a basket ball, do push-​ups without a problem and I can’t remember when was the last time my fingers was tingling. I would say my strength is back to normal.
I had great results after coming here. I highly recommend Dr song and his practice of acupuncture to any one. I hope he can help those who needs it like he has helped me.

Dr. Song has done wonders for my neck and shoulder pain which was causing headaches and migraines. He is very easy to work with in terms of scheduling appointments and insurance. I go nearly every week and do not plan to stop any time soon!

For years, I was suffering with my back pain problem. I have tried many different treatments including acupuncture in the past, but none of them worked on me. Before seen Dr. Song, I’ve almost decided to give up on this problem and keep suffering.
One of my co-​workers strongly recommended Dr. Song to me after knowing my problem. Dr. Song helped him to cure his hearing problem which had been bothered him for years. One of his ears had trouble to hear, sometime complete deafness in worst case. Similar to me, he had tried so many different treatments but none of them made this trouble go away. After several visits with Dr. Song, his hearing condition had been improved quite well. He couldn’t believe the result came so good from Dr. Song’s treatment. That’s why he was so sure Dr. Song would be able to help me on my back problem.
During my first time visit, I was amazed how gentle and experience Dr. Song was. After listing my store, he explained to me the cause of this problem and what his treatment would be. Unlike other place I went, he was so patient to explain all the details and answer my question.
The treatment was different too. Dr. Song was not focus on the pain area of my back. Instead, he was more focus on my neck and waist. He explained that he believed that’s really where caused my back pain. No other doctor ever told me this before, and this did make a lot sense to me. Cause no matter what I do (e.g. massage or treatments before) on the pain area every time when the pain occurs, the pain would not be eased at all. However, after Dr. Song’s acupuncture treatments and massage on my neck and waist, my back pain had been much reduced. I’ve never expected the result could be so amazing. Thank you, Dr. Song.
This is my 10^th visit today, and I will keep going to see Dr. Song to finish my treatment. I have recommended Dr. Song to all my friends who may need some helps. Dr. Song is definitely one of the top acupuncturists in the world.

If anyone is considering trying acupuncture for the first time, please consider Dr. Song! A family friend first referred us to Dr. Song after my little sister (14 years old) unexpectedly lost her ability to walk. We took my sister to the emergency room after she experienced pain and loss of control in her legs in early September 2015. She was later interned at a children’s hospital for about 2 months. In the initial preliminary prognoses, the neurologists believed that she had Guillain-​Barre syndrome, then Transverse Myelitis, but these prognoses were discarded. The neurologists still do not have an official prognosis of her condition, so it is difficult to determine what treatment will improve her condition. My mother did not know too much about acupuncture but decided to take my sister, especially because he was so well recommended. They began seeing Dr. Song on November of 2015. From our experience, Dr. Song he is one of the most compassionate health practitioners we have ever worked with. He made my mother and sister feel completely at ease and comfortable with the treatment, making sure to explain to my mother what he was doing and how it could help with my sister’s movements. Since my sister began receiving treatment, she experiences less pain, tingling and sensitivity in her legs. She is also experiencing less ataxia and greater control of movements in her legs as well, helping with her proprioception. We are so appreciative of Dr. Song’s professionalism and kindness. Beyond an amazing acupuncturist, he is a great human being.
Thank you so much for all that you have done for my family. God bless you.

I was a practicing dentist for over 25 years. For many years I had pain in my neck, shoulders, hands and wrists then began having headaches almost daily. Doctors prescribed many things from physical therapy and narcotics to epidurals. After one and a half years of daily headaches, the pain became so intense that I stopped working. I continued with physical therapy for over a year with slight improvement, but usually the pain would return with headaches.
After a headache lasted for 2 weeks nonstop, I Unilocaled Dr Song. With Dr. Song’s long needle acupuncture and massage, I’ve had great improvement! Since my 1^st appointment I rarely have headaches and much of the inflammation in my neck, shoulders and hands has decreased! Dr Song has helped with many problems of my lower back also. My knees and feet don’t hurt anymore. If I mention that something is sore or painful Dr. Song will know the source of the problem and take care of it. Let Dr. Song know of any pain, and immediately he will make you feel much better.
Yes, his treatments can be painful however the daily pain that you are experiencing will decrease immediately. I have been seeing Dr. Song for four months, and I will continue even though I must travel over an hour to see him. He is worth it!

It can be difficult and often a skeptical process for anyone wishing to find a trustworthy acupuncturist who is worth the often high price asked in America.
But look no further because Jun Song is definitely the best there is. Having practiced extensively in both China and the states, he offers a traditional and authentic application but is able to communicate and understand the thoughts and needs of newcomers into the world of acupuncture.
He is extremely gentle but very persistent on the process and is very keen on giving you satisfactory results.
I’ve had stomach issues for years. I’ve dieted, I’ve «cleansed», I’ve fasted, I’ve tried different ways of eating. Not only has Dr. Song completely eradicated the plaguing digestion issues and fixed my skin and weight issues associated with it, he also provided me with very detailed advice on how I can ensure my issues don’t come back (diet, exercises, different habits, etc…)
Definitely one of the most genuine acupuncturist who will not disappoint.

The only doctor I will see. Why?
* He brought my mom back from stroke.
* He restored my ankle/​peroneal tendon, from
excruciating pain while walking (injury) to 100% functional.
Also, coordinated care with out of town acu when I had to travel.
An orthopedist had given me a bulky brace and suggested
surgery.
* Got me back to work in 1 day when a nasty virus had me
unable to leave bed. Conventional doc gave me an inhaler, said
I’d get better on my own — virus so nothing he could do.
* Resolved my stomach aches.
* Most recently, in the medical crisis of my life,
traced my complete sinus blockage — as in mouth
breathing, panic, insomnia — to neck and
occipital issues.
Acupuncture and herbs work very well
for me, make no mistake it is the work of Dr. Song.
He is an expert, and humanitarian. I trust him with my life.

The best doctor I’ve ever been too. He is very compassionate and truly concerned about his patients. He treated me 10 years for frozen painful shoulders. He did acupuncture, deep tissue massage and cupping; he cured me. I have no shoulder pain or disability at all. He is currently treating me for a lower back problem from a recent accident. After my first appointment with Dr. Song I was 80% better. He is a fabulous doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone in pain.

Literally the best Acupuncture I have ever received. My lower back pain and my calf were killing me. Upon entering, the receptionist was nice, I sat down and within less than 5 minutes, I was taken into one of the rooms. The Doctor came in to evaluate me quickly, once I told him my symptoms, he already knew what was wrong. This man has strong fingers, no fooling! When the time to insert the needles came, he was straight forward with what I was going to feel. Long story short, one hour later, I came out feeling much better. No pain, just sore. Will I go back for a second visit? You bet your life I will!

Dr. Song was recommended by a friend at the Y, who spoke very highly of him. I was in extreme pain from an inflammation in an obscure muscle in my back. I had been to a chiropractor, massage therapist and a physical therapist. All were conscientious in their attempts to help, but were unable to lessen my pain, or even diagnose the true condition. On my 1^st visit, he was forthright about the possibility that he may not be able to help. However after 2 visits my pain was reduced 50%, and I could go back to work. During the course of treatment, he picked up on small imbalances in my body which he was able to also address. Being in the health care field (optometrist) and fairly knowlegable about the body, Dr. Song’s knowledge base is impressive, and he is very willing to engage any questions. A final note: he is so dedicated to his profession that he travels the world seeking out the best mentors for his continueing education

I’ve looked up Dr. Song from Unilocal.I’ve been having treatment here for almost 8 months.
I’ve been having my lower back pain for years even though I’m still young now. I even don’t know where it came from. Maybe it came from years of school studying or sport injury that I even didn’t pay attention to when I was a child. The reason I came to see Dr. Song was that my right foot ankle hurt too much that I even felt uncomfortable driving. Then I started to thinking of going to see a doctor and get some help.
The first time I came here, Dr. Song told me that the problem wasn’t at my ankle, while it really was from my lower back. And he started to treat my lower back since then. Acupuncture takes some time to have an effect. But it does have a good effect and every time I can feel the change to my lower back muscle.
Dr. Song is a really nice person. He is very friendly and patient. I really appreciate what he has done for me. I definitely recommend anyone who is experiencing any body pain to come here and get rid of whatever pain is bothering you.

Dr. Song is the best acupuncture physician job the entire greater Los Angeles area based on my 13 (yes 13) years of experience as an acupuncture patient. Unlike a lot of other acupuncture physicians who learned and earned their license when they came to the U.S. (Incompetence much?), Dr. Song earned his degree and continued to practice for many years when he was in China. He acquired sufficient knowledge and experience with the highest standards and continued to go back to China every year to learn more even until now.
He is super professional, can answer all your questions and tell you what he’s going to do and why prior to each session.
Don’t be scared by the needles by the way. The general rule of thumb is: if it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t help. I badly hurt my lower back on New Year’s Day. Even walking was so painful that I gasp with every step. When I came to Dr. Song, who picked up my call on New Year’s Day and made an appointment to see me the following day, he was able to make me feel much less painful in just one session. It hurts, no doubt, but trust me, the more it hurts while in session, the better you’ll feel afterwards. If it doesn’t hurt, it means the needles are not reaching the right places or not going deep enough.
Dr. Song is also a very caring doctor, he genuinely cares about his patients. If you come to him with any pain, he’ll be able to fix it. But keep in mind, you need to be prepared to endure some pain otherwise you won’t see full results. My advice, tell Dr. Song every detail about your pain and symptoms, and just relax and let Dr. Song take care the rest. You can scream if it hurts, but just remember in any event, don’t tell him to stop. You’ll thank me later.
Dr. Song is indeed the best acupuncture physician I’ve ever encountered in the L.A. area. You won’t regret coming to Dr. Song for all your pain related issues.

Bedside manner = ok, Comfort = good pillow, but should place pillow under legs/​knees to help legs relax (my feet kept shaking because they could not relax), Price = average to high, Treatment = average, Wait Time = excellent! Overall, I found a place better suited for my needs at a more affordable price and better comfort so I won’t be returning again here. One thing I will mentioned, walls are thin because you can hear other patients moaning in pain when needles are going in. Not to relaxing vibe when you are trying to heal.

I have/​had shoulder pain for almost two years. I was unable to reach anything higher then a shoulder level. I had very limited mobility in my right arm. After MRI, I was told that it’s osteoarthritis and that the only option I have is pain management and medication. I came across Dr. Song and went it for a treatment.
After FIRST visit, I was able to move my arm. I still wasn’t pain free but I could reach for a cup in my kitchen cabinet. After fifth treatment my pain went from 10 to 2. My shoulder is healing and I am so grateful that I found Dr. Song.
He knows anatomy inside out and he really understands human body. If you have any kind of issue with your joint or muscle pain, Dr. Song is your guy. Not to mention that he is also kind, polite and highly professional.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Dr. Song is great. I had a hoarse voice due to nerve injury last year. At the referral of a friend I started getting treatment from Dr. Song in August. The unique acupuncture treatment helped my voice improve and recover by way of directly stimulating vocal nerves. As a result my voice is getting much better and I am able to perform my job duties normally. What impressed me in particular is Dr. Song’s desire to constantly perfect his knowledge base even though he already is a very skilled doctor. I also believe that Dr. Song was trained by some exceptional masters in Chinese medicine.
If you have problems with vocal cords, I will definitely recommend you to see Dr. Song. His acupuncture treatment will help in a way that others are not capable of.

I am writing this review with my friend whom I referred to Dr. Song since he does not have a Unilocal account. Nobody’s perfect. :)
Here is his story:
I was diagnosed with nerve damage and serious pain deep in-​between my shoulder blade, affecting my arm. This was making it really difficult to do my work thus threatening my job security in the digital arts and teaching profession.
Some suggested pain killers and even surgery. None of which felt right to pursue. I wanted a solution that would be long lasting and one that targeted the source of the problem, not one that just focused on mediating the symptoms.
A friend introduced me to Dr. Song. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into but I heard a lot of good work being done in the area of Asian medicine, and I trust my friend. Although the treatments look extreme, I have always believed in the philosophy of «no pain no gain». You have to either mentally or physically work for something. Thanks to Dr. Song expert treatment I am healed … and no, it was not as painful as it looks.
I have regained complete mobility in my arm, and so my livelihood and I get to continue to do the things I love.
Thank You Dr. Song.

First time with the acupuncture. Dr song is great. after the third visit the back pain of my husband is almost completely gone. we are very grateful to Dr song for the professionalism and dedication to your patients.

For 3 months my hands had been going numb constantly at night. By early to mid June, the tingling was continuing into the day and I was in a lot of pain (wrists and fingers). I do not have health insurance so I tend to be one of those people who self diagnoses and treats but I knew this was beyond something I could deal with on my own. All signs were pointing to carpal tunnel though I knew it could be an issue happening elsewhere causing similar symptoms. As a very physically active person who works with my hands all day long I knew I needed to address this as soon as possible.
I found Dr. Song on Unilocal doing a search for carpal tunnel treatment and made an appointment. Within minutes of sitting down he found several areas in my back that were triggering tingling and numbness in my hands. These issues also happened to be triggering some severe shoulder pain I had been struggling with when working out.
For several years I’ve been going through regular phases where I would get headaches every day. Additionally my eyes often get extremely tired by mid afternoon when working, to the point where I have to shut them for 30 minutes due to the severe fatigue. When I expressed this to him, he immediately found a spot in my neck that triggered the headaches I’ve been getting for years.
I was amazed at how quickly he found the source of these issues. I have been seeing him for 5 weeks now. After the first week I felt so much better I was absolutely amazed. I have not had a single headache since our first session and I find that I no longer have eye fatigue mid day. After 2 sessions the tingling and numbness in my hands had completely stopped during the day and was 80% gone at night. We are still working on totally healing that issue but every week I feel better and better.
I would send anyone having any sort of physical issues that are affecting their life to see Dr. Song. He has helped me tremendously by addressing the root causes of my problems, which is a rarity, and I feel extremely lucky and thankful that I found him.

If you are looking for an acupuncturist who knows what he’s doing, look no further.
I’ve been suffering from chronic pain in my right arm for many years. I’ve seen all kinds of specialist: neurologist, orthopedics… without any explanation for my pain. Over the years, I also used physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturists w/​o much improvement in my pain at all. In the past few months, it hurts so frequently and I decided to give acupuncture another try. I find Dr. Song from Unilocal,thank you Unilocal !
To simply put it, he does amazing work. After some diagnosis pinpointing my pain spots, he told me what he thought is the root cause of my pain and explained to me how he’s going to treat it. I’ve had 4 treatment (twice a week), consisting of acupressure and acupuncture, I definitely feel the result. My pain is much less than before.
What I like about Dr. Song is that he keeps himself updated of medical knowledge and progress in the acupuncture practice, I can tell from my conversation with him during my acupressure session. This is a very important quality for anyone who’s in the health care business. I also like the fact that his clinic is very clean. Every time he gives patient a disposable cloth to wear for the acupuncture session. I used two other acupuncturists before in the area and they certainly did not do that.
I will keep monitoring the progress in my condition and come back to update my reviews.

Wow. It’s been awhile since my last review… I missed Unilocaling. But here I am again!!!
Living with chronic pain, the best way to live your life is medication-​free. I’ve had many problems with pain-​killers and to sum it up… They should be avoided if at all possible. I felt I needed to up the ante and do more than just Chiropractic care. Having tried over 20 different acupuncturists, I wasn’t to keen on going back because there were little to no improvements.
Dr. Kevin Cressey recommended Dr. Song and warned me his technique hurt and his needles were big… So I mentally prepared myself and made the appointment.
He is a very busy man, but believes in taking the time to be with his patients, making sure he doesn’t have more than 12 patients in one day. I’m usually there for about 2 hours. He speaks English very well and his knowledge of the human anatomy is astonishing. I know my muscle groups, but he should teach anatomy! He takes the time to tell you why you have pain and he’ll figure out where the pain is by doing some acupressure. Then comes the needles. I believe they are 24G needles (which are the small size IV hospitals put in you) and he shoves it in so deep, almost to the bone, where at times I feel a «pop» as he passes the muscle fascia. Whenever I cry in pain, he always says «sorry». He must say sorry more than 100 times per day. lol
Not to scare you, but his technique works and he specializes in pain. If you can handle large needles and very painful insertions, go to him. Chronic pain shouldn’t rule your life.
He does cash only. First visit is $ 100, and each subsequent visit is $ 80
He has two offices: Monday, Wed, and Fri are at the Reseda office and Tues, Thurs, Sat are at the Pasadena location
