Acupuncture in Sherman Oaks

“Dr. Mehta and his staff are friendly and caring. They don’t rush their patients and help us. They are very welcoming and I’ve had a very positive experience. They go above and beyond! Very friendly and would recommend!“

“I finally made an appointment to see a chiropractor, and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been dealing with chronic lower back and shoulder pain, and Dr. Tran did an amazing job addressing the problem. It turns out I had a hip misalignment, and her method was completely different from what I remember from many years ago, when chiropractors would twist you around and try to pop different parts of your body.

Instead, Dr. Tran used these little attachments to work through my tight muscles, covered my back with a heated blanket, and then used a tool that sounded like I was being stapled—but surprisingly, it was completely painless! Afterwards, I had a massage with Jerry, who was very nice and made me feel completely comfortable. I had never had a male massage therapist before, so I asked if I could keep my clothes on, and he said absolutely—it was no problem and he was able to work around it.

The front desk staff, Cynthia, was also wonderful and did a great job finding a schedule that worked for me. I’m especially happy that they were able to get my insurance to cover the visit!

The next morning, I felt so much better. Getting out of bed was noticeably easier, and I didn’t have to grunt and struggle like I usually do.

I highly recommend this place if you’re dealing with back or shoulder pain. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience.

The only downside is the parking. If you don’t want to pay an excessive amount for parking, I suggest looking for street parking nearby.“

“Evan and Brett are amazing. Super knowledgeable and skilled. If you need physical therapy, this is the place to go. So thankful I found them.“

“I sometimes struggle to put into words the level of care I receive from Dr. Ohadi, but the best way I can describe it is this: it feels like having a friend who cares as deeply as a parent, someone you genuinely look forward to seeing every time.

It’s incredibly rare to find a physician like her. She’s not only highly knowledgeable, but she also takes the time to truly listen and make you feel supported. Whenever I’ve needed a referral, she’s been thoughtful and intentional about sending me to the best possible specialist.

I’m so grateful to have found her and plan to continue coming here for years to come. Highly recommend!“

“Dr. Fischer is an amazing naturopathic doctor! He has helped me get my blood work under control and really listens! Helps with TRT and makes sure other aspects of health are on track! Would highly recommend him“

“I've been seeing Dr. Geri for over 30 years. Back then she was able to help me in the aftermath of car accident when no one else could relieve the pain in my neck. Then beginning 5 years ago, her acupuncture treatments helped me slow the progression of glaucoma to an almost imperceivable crawl. And just recently, I was warned that my broken foot had more than a 50% chance of needing surgery to heal. Regular acupuncture treatments helped me avoid surgery and I have healed completely. Love her wisdom, and great care. Linda B“

“When my acupuncturist moved to Calabasas, it was like a break-up - I loved her, but the traffic on the 101 finally wore me down. So I searched for someone in my town, Sherman Oaks, and found Kelly, who was right around the corner. I didn't know what I was getting into - yes she has glowing reviews, but don't they all? I walked into her office with few expectations . . . and a mass of nerves due to the holidays and everything else happening in life.

Well, I was reassured the moment I entered. Kelly and her space just projects calm and thoughtful care. And I noticed right away that she takes her time. She listens, works gently and with a near-miraculous painlessness, and then she gives you all the time you need on the table with the calming music playing. With other acupuncturists it was always 20 minutes - Kelly leaves you to heal with at least 20 minutes extra. This is true, deep-down meditative relaxation that in itself does a world of good.

That was our first session, which was very good. Then, like I said, she listens. We talked over a couple of things during the next session and it was far better, and seems to improve with every new visit.

I respond well to acupuncture, and have a fair amount of experience with it going back 15 years. I can say that my sessions with Kelly are the best I've had. If she wasn't just around the corner I would drive 20 miles to see her.

As some positive review led me to Kelly, I hope this one does the same for you. Come find a sanctuary of healing and calm in the city. You'll be glad you did.“

“Amazing experience! I received such wonderful and helpful and extensive treatment. Neal is knowledgeable, knows what’s going right away, and helped me so much physically and emotionally on my first visit. He also saw my father for his first acupuncture visit. Highly recommend! Many patients stopped by to see him during my visit just to say hi!! I could see how helpful he has been to his community over the years and was so happy to discover this wonderful place!!“

“Dr. Kang is truly exceptional. I came to him with persistent shoulder and lower back pain after being told by other doctors that invasive surgery might be my only option.

When I first arrived, I started explaining what I thought the issue was—but he gently stopped me. He asked me to stick out my tongue and carefully examined it. Then he held my hands in his, closed his eyes, and checked my pulse for what felt like a full five minutes. I remember standing there thinking, “What is this guy doing?”

He then opened his eyes and calmly said, “Okay, come with me.” He brought me into the treatment room, carefully placed acupuncture needles, and had me lie under red light therapy for about 20 minutes. Afterward, he returned, removed the needles, and asked me to raise my arm and tell him if the pain was still there.

It was gone.

I couldn’t believe it. I had been living with that shoulder pain for months, and other doctors had told me I would likely need surgery. The most shocking part? I never even told him my shoulder was the primary issue. He was able to determine everything through his tongue and pulse diagnosis alone.

After just the first session, the pain that had plagued me for over a month was significantly relieved. A few additional sessions were needed for maintenance and to fully resolve the inflammation, but the improvement started immediately and continued to build with each visit.

He utilized a comprehensive approach that included acupuncture, dry needling techniques, red light therapy, and traditional plant-based Chinese medicine in the form of a custom tea he specially prepared for me before I left. The treatment felt personalized, thoughtful, and incredibly effective.

Dr. Kang has completely changed my perspective on acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His depth of knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine care set him apart. I’ve referred several friends and family members to him, and every one of them has thanked me after experiencing relief from long-standing issues that conventional treatments hadn’t resolved.

If you’re considering acupuncture, I highly recommend finding a practitioner with Dr. Kang’s level of expertise and integrity. Thank you, Dr. Kang—you’re making a real difference in people’s lives.“

“I have been a patient of Dr. Carol Howard of Sunnyslope Healing Arts for many years and cannot say how much she has helped me and how grateful I am to have found her. She is not only a fine acupuncturist who uses a unique, needle free method, but also an amazing Doctor of Oriental Medicine. Dr. Howard always gives a comprehensive health check at the beginning of each treatment and many times it has revealed issues that I am having that other doctors have missed. And she always has an effective and natural treatment approach to healing.Dr. Howard has truly helped me over the years through different situations such as whiplash from a very bad car accident, sciatica, stiff neck and shoulders, headaches and back pain etc. as well as illnesses such as colds and the flu, strep throat, trouble sleeping and even menopause. Dr. Howard also completely relieved me of all the pelvic pain I had stemming from Endometriosis. I had seen so many doctors for this ailment and searched for help for a long time, but after treatment with Dr. Howard, my pain was eliminated and never came back.I had a scary time in my life where I was having terrible panic attacks and she got to the bottom of it and got me off the anxiety medication. She really helped me through it and followed up repeatedly to check on me.I honestly cannot say enough about Dr. Carol Howard and Sunnyslope Healing Arts. If you're looking for an acupuncturist or a Doctor who's an alternative to Western medicine healthcare, Carol is it! Five Stars for sure.“
