    I've been seeing Dr. ZHANG for years. I had a compression fracture at the L2 vertebrae almost twenty years ago now, and his treatments are my only relief when it acts up. I also used Dr. Zhang after fracturing my scapula, a bad case of plantar fasciitis, and arthritis from years of snowboarding and bodily abuse. After every treatment, I woke the following day with a significant reduction in pain. Dr. ZHANG is also very straightforward about how and if he can help and won't make you schedule repeat appointments unless he feels you genuinely need it. Be prepared for the tui na portion of the appointment to be excruciatingly painful. Trust me, it's worth it for the relief...read full review

    Helped my messed up lower back after a strenuous move. His accupressure application isn't pleasurable but gets to the heart of the issue & releases years of gunk. (Drink LOTS of water afterwards!)Have only had one treatment & am looking forward to returning to rectifying my condition.

    Tong Zhang (I call him Dr. Tong though I'm unsure about his medical pedigree other than he studied bodywork in China when he was 17. He is now 62.) Tong is exceptionally skilled at acupuncture and deep tissue massage. I saw him about four years ago for treatment of persistent neck pain. Dr. Tong's massage was quite painful while he was doing it, and it was painful for a day or two afterward. But then I felt much better. I had a few sessions, and my relief lasted for years.This year, my walking grew unbalanced and was getting slower and slower over the course of months. I love walking. Since I'm 72 years old and retired, I have the time for long walks, getting in 4-7 miles a day. But this fall my walking dropped to a half mile to a mile daily. I feared I'd soon not be able to walk at all.I went to Kaiser for acupuncture, which I found helpful for pain, and a physical therapist taught me stretches, which has greatly improved my speed. Still, I felt pain in my hip and my gait was off. Kaiser doesn't do bodywork.Time for Dr. Tong. Especially at first, I found his therapy immediately quite painful. But it's already made quite a difference. I feel like I'm walking normally.Tong told me he expected I'd need 5 to 8 sessions. I've only had two so far, and feel a tremendous improvement.
