Chou Acupuncture - San Ramon, California

I’m a 71 yr male who loves to play competitive golf. I recently developed severe pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder from working out too hard. After 3 visits to Dr Chou, I can turn my neck freely and my shoulder pain is gone. Dr Chou identified the problem quickly, told me it would take 3 visits to assess how my body responded to acupuncture therapy - and he expertly adjusted his 2nd and 3rd treatments until the pain and stiffness were gone. I’d tried chiropractic and physical therapy with some success but acupuncture got the job done. Can’t say enough good things about Dr Chou! He’s wonderful.

I see Dr. Chou for pain management, Chi balance, and tinnitus. To say that Dr. Chou is great at what he does would be an understatement, I respect Dr. Chou because he listens to what I have to say and my concerns. He assesses what needs to be done and plans a treatment appropriate for my visit. I never feel like I’m being rushed out and my appointments are timely to my scheduled appointment. The staff is friendly and efficient. I have regular appointments due to my physical activities studying martial arts, I put my body through a lot of stress that needs to be reset weekly. Dr. Chou is very knowledgeable and continues to develop his skills.

I consulted with Dr. Chou on my hair loss problem which concerned me for years. He was very patient, spent a good amount of time listening to my concern, finding out the underlying issues and prescribing me with the right medication. I have been taking the meds for a year now and it has helped tremendously. Very grateful for Dr. Chou.

After my husband saw Dr. Chou a few times and received good results, I decided to give acupuncture and cupping a try. I’m impressed by Dr. Chou’s professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge for holistic self care such as diet and exercise.

I suffered an injury to my right arm and was diagnosed with tennis elbow due to my job. Through workers comp I was covered to receive accupuncture treatment and am glad I chose Dr. Chou’s clinic. Initially I received treatment from another clinic but wasn’t very happy with the services. They only saw me for 30 minutes which felt rushed and without much follow up during the treatment. On my first initial visit (6 visits) Dr. Chou spent quality time figuring out the root of the problem and getting to know me not just as a patient but as his guest. None of my visits seem rushed (always for an hour and more), and Dr. Chou made sure I was comfortable (even to the extent of helping me take off my socks and shoes) and checked in mid treatment to make any adjustments to the needles and points on my body so that I would get the maximum results. He used different techniques, massaged the pain area, offered Chinese herbal patches and sound advice during my visits. At the end of my 6 visits it felt like I was visiting a friend to get treatment due to Dr. Chou’s personality and hospitality that he offered. The icing on the cake was I went in to get privately treated using my insurance and after finding out that it was going to be out of network and I’d have to pay out of pocket, Dr. Chou decided to offer me a free treatment for my time which shows his commitment towards his profession and passion. I definitely plan to visit Dr. Chou for any future accupuncture visits.

Dr. Chou is amazing! I've been seeing him for two months for a variety of issues -- lower back pain, foot injury, and knots in my upper back. I could not ask for better results.

He's also very knowledgeable and always explains what he's doing in a kind and patient manner. If you need help with pain management, reducing stress, and/or general guidance on healthy living, go visit Dr. Chou, you won't regret it!

Because of pregnancy cold and sinusitis, taking Amoxicillin , I still have a stuffy nose and can't sleep. . After patiently listening to my chief complaint, Dr. Chou completed a full course of treatment. Thank you very much Dr. Chou. The clinic is brand new, and the environment is clean and relaxing. The doctor is patient and kind. The doctor and his wife are very friendly . Highly recommend Dr. Chou Acupuncture.

I'm a disabled vet with multiple injuries and decades of chronic pain. I've been running my own PT for the past few years with decent improvement in mobility. However, my four sessions with Dr Chou shaved about a year off my recovery time, probably more.

I've never had someone work so hard to help me! I'm a difficult case and most people just phone it in, I'm used to it. Yeah, NOT the case here. Dr Chou and his wonderful wife went above and beyond in every way possible! That includes coming in early one morning to get one more session in before I left town.

A week after the last session, multiple locked muscles in my glutes released while stretching. A spine/hip adjustment followed soon after allowing me to FINALLY place full weight on my right leg. That was only 10 years.

Also, he fixed something in my feet that I didn't even tell him about! Back in basic training, I lost most of the feeling in the bottom of my feet. A week after the last session the nerves in my feet began firing wildly like I'd been hooked to jumper cables. Then the feeling suddenly returned, and my feet no longer hurt when they're cold now. It used to be unbearable. No boot or sock was thick enough. The pain would take my breath away if I stepped hard enough. Something to do with the nerve damage from basic training I'm sure. That was only 20 years.

A month after the treatments I've made substantial mobility progress in my hips/back. I feel as if I'll be hiking again in a few months!

I wish I lived there, I've still got a list of problems lol. But he helped me SO MUCH with what he had time to work on. He even fixed one I'd just gotten used to.

Thank you so much Dr Chou, I wish you and your family all the best!
