Helped me avoid intrusive spinal cord surgery Jagdish Patel I am delighted to write this review for Budincich Chiropractic Clinic in Pasadena CA. Dr. Budincich treated me during 2006 and recently in 2011 for my pinched nerve condition which had a potential for intrusive spinal cord surgery. Dr. Buds Chiropractic treatment helped me avoid the surgery in 2006, for which I was already scheduled at the USC medical center. Dr. Budincich was strongly recommended to me, by my then orthopedist, Dr. Greg Adamson, who said to me, If I send you to a Chiropractor, I will only send you to Dr. Budincich, whom I trust the most. All my problems were gone for last 5 years, during which I observed some cautions and continued with minor exercise. Recently, I had some flare up again. My current orthopedist recommended me again for the same treatment, and Dr. Budincich's treatment seems to be working better this time. I am a NASA/JPL scientist (Space Science and Nuclear Engineering) with specialty is in radiation detection and radiation effects in spacecraft systems. In my opinion Dr. Bud is extremely knowledgeable Chiropractor, who strictly follows all the professional rules and provides systematic treatment customized for each patient. He is very friendly and honest with patients. Dr. Bud discusses any treatment in full details with patients, he explains how quickly/slowly would it be effective, and in some cases also provides with risk and failure statistics to satisfy patient's anxiety. Budincich Clinic provides combination of treatment including adjustments, massage, acupuncture and such, for a quicker and coherent recovery from compounded problems from multiple causes. His clinic is very clean and patient friendly. He uses equipments which are unique and most effective for various treatments. Dr. Buss staff is also equally friendly and accommodating to patients needs and requests. I strongly recommend him to my family members and friends for Chiropractic treatment. Bottom line, Dr. Bud is the best of the best. read more

Dr Bud saved me from back surgery 15 yrs ago. I had gone to two previous chiropractors and got no relief. Dr Bud diagnosed the root problem, herniated discs from heavy lifting at work and a short left leg, the leg was something previous chiropractors didn't make me aware of. Dr Bud does X-Rays before treatment in order to effectively and efficiently diagnose you. The previous two chiropractors did not do X-Rays on me. Dr Bud had me wear a shoe insert, a back brace and he adjusted me frequently to realign my back. My pain level was beyond a 10 when I started coming to him, in fact I couldn't sit up not even during transport. Dr Bud had his acupuncture doctor and his massage therapist treat me as part of the treatment to alleviate pain and heal. He and his medical staff used so many techniques to try and heal me to avoid surgery. Now 15 yrs later I still haven't needed back surgery and I have full movement of my back. His office staff is the absolute best. Dr Bud and his staff treat you like family. He is the only chiropractor I refer people to. I still go to Budincich Chiropractic for treatment to keep my back healthy. Don't put off chiropractic care especially if you're active and/ or into sports. Dr Bud told me, "Just like a car needs maintenance, so does our body." Enjoy Dr Bud's healing hands! Speaking of hands. I forgot to mention, Dr Bud has a non profit called 'Manos con alas,' which translates to 'hands with wings.' Mind you, he's not Hispanic. Lol. He flies his plane and takes colleague doctors of other specialties to places where people cannot afford a doctor. They give their services for free for the sake of healing people. Dr Budincich's goal is to educate and HEAL PEOPLE. God bless. read more

Hello, my name is Pete, and I am proud to say that Dr. Bud is and has been my chiropractor since January 1999. I was 32 when I had a lot of pain in my neck, lower back, carpal tunnel in both hands, and rheumatoid arthritis. I had surgery on both my shoulders, both knees, and many epidurals in my neck and lower back to relieve my terrible pain. As a child, I grew up playing sports, raced BMX, rode dirt bikes, three wheelers, quads, boats, and dragsters. To sum it up, I have had a lot of fun in my life, but along with that, came many injuries and concussions. Throughout my life, I have had to take pain killers, muscle relaxers, and others. My surgeon told me that I needed neck surgery and it would be done from the front of my body, and would have to move my heart to do so. My orthopedic surgeon told me that it was unorthodox for a surgeon to send a patient to the chiropractor, but he thought I should see one. Calling Dr. Bud was the greatest phone call I ever made. He relieved all of my pain and I have been pain-free for 16 years now; I'm 47. He is a one of a kind chiropractor and I can not thank him enough! He gave me back my life without a very dangerous surgery, and more impotantly, without suffering pain everyday like I did. I am married and I have five children that I can keep up with again. Even they can see the difference since I have been going to Dr. Bud and the results. My whole family is very thankful for him as a person because of everything that he has done for me, and ohter people he has helped. I recommend him to anyone that is suffering, he can help anyone. He is a great doctor, and also friend for life. Love & respect, Pete Fuentes read more

My issues stated with a fall in December 2017 that caused tendonitis and bursitis in my right shoulder. I opted out of the cortisone shots when the doctor said it would just take a little longer to heal without it. I figured I had time and I would just take it easy with that arm. Then in March 2018 I had a freak accident that left me with severed tendons and the median nerve affecting my right hand. While my hand and arm were casted for nearly a month, my shoulder FROZE (adhesive capsulitis), leaving me unable to use my arm without excruciating pain. I started physical therapy twice a week on my shoulder in April 2018, and while it was going okay, the progress was very, very slow. By July 2018 I was a mess. My back and neck hurt badly from all of the physical compensations that I was making for not being able to use my hand, arm and shoulder. I went to see Dr. "Bud" Budincich to get relief for those things and we began talking about each of the injuries that I had sustained. After the first visit, my back and neck began feeling better. On the second visit Dr. Bud began working on my frozen shoulder. I've gone almost weekly since July 2018 (it's September 2018 now) and the difference is remarkable. When I began seeing him, I could only move my arm inches away from my side and I couldn't even lift it high enough to touch my forehead. I'm happy to say that that has all changed. I feel like I've gotten my life back. I can now lift my arm out to the side and can reach high enough to touch the top of the door frame. I still have progress to make, but I feel like myself again. I am so GRATEFUL for Dr. Bud and his determination to help me regain my mobility. read more

There just aren't enough stars here to apply and recommend the Budincich Chiropractic clinic!! I'm a forty year devotee of Dr Bud who is always there for any and all of my chiropractic needs. I recommend him unconditionally to friends and family because I trust him completely. He's worked miracles during several bouts of sciatica as well as a variety of other back issues. I have literally experienced immediate relief following a treatment!!! He's always been there for my entire family. MAINTENANCE is the key and we frequently fail at that!! (Sorry Dr Bud!). He has the Midas touch, up to the minute technique, skill and talent to keep us pain free and moving. He's the only one I'll ever trust!! He's also an amazing humanitarian!! You're in GREAT hands at the Budincich clinic on Hill st in Pasadena read more

Are you having trouble getting out of bed due to stiffness? Dr. Bud keeps my wife and me going strong. Have pain pills and muscle relaxers become your daily regiment? Is a hot shower the only thing that reliefs discomfort in your back? It may be time for you to visit Dr. Bud for an evaluation. I am sure glad my wife told me about Dr Bud. Chiropractic help from Dr Bud could postpone or eliminate the need for surgical intervention. It is always good to have a smiling face greet you. Dr Bud's joyful and relaxed manner is a pick me up to me. I feel like a long lost friend when I am in his office. Stop in and see for yourself. I am sure you will be glad you did.

Without touching me (x-ray only) medical guys told me "pain management" was all I could do. Balderdash, I said - And went looking for a very large, friendly, funny, interesting, knowledgeable former shot-putter in Pasadena. He's on Hill Avenue. In February I figured I'd live with pain for the rest of my days. Last week I flew to Tampa, shagged baseballs (as best a 65 year old can do) with my son and grandkids at MLB Spring Training, lost a bundle at the racetrack and flew back from a trip I surely thought I would need to cancel. Dr. Bud doesn't compete on the miracle scale with "loaves and fishes" but he's fairly close. Thanks Mike read more

As a personal trainer and group led class instructor, I work for others. In order to keep working for others, I recognize the need to take care of myself. Before working with Dr. Budincich I worked with a chiropractor that did soft tissue adjustments but it did not give me the full adjustment that I needed After a month of working with Dr. Budincich, my spine is aligned, I have much more energy and my whole system is functioning at a much higher level. I will be referring my clients to him, not only because of his superior adjustments, but because every member of his staff allowed me to relax and feel like I was in the best of hands! read more

I have suffered excruciating chest and back pain from what I thought was GERD for years. In the last month the pain was waking me up 3-4 times a night, and I would take Pepto, Alka Seltzer and Prilosec with no relief. Last week I went to Dr Bud and he said the problem was that my ribs had spread abnormally causing the pain. After one set of adjustments I slept all night on the first night with only one flare up in the entire week. I can't believe I suffered with that for years and it has almost gone completely away with two adjustments. I have seen chiros for 30 years, and Dr Bud gives the best adjustments I have ever had. Thank you read more

Dr. Budincich is fondly being called Dr. Bud. Dr. Bud's skill is incredible. I walk out of his clinic feeling like a a new person every time after he adjusted me my spine. I particularly like to get an adjustment from him for the tightness on my neck. He is a man who cares about integrity in practice and he cares about his patients. His office is pragmatically functional but if you are looking for a clinic of fancy spa etc., this office does not care about that kind of stuff. However, there is an associate acupuncturist and other physical therapy machines in the facility as well. Clara in Pasadena read more

Dr. Budincich is just wonderful. His expertise and skills as a chiropractor allowed me to function without pain in just a few adjustments. With each adjustment, I was in less and less pain. After the 4th, pain was no longer a factor in my daily activities. Never having prior chiropractic care, I was nervous at first. Having Dr. Bud as my 1st chiropractor, I am now very comfortable with the idea of receiving an adjustment, no longer afraid. With the results I have personally received, I am a firm believer in the power chiropractic treatments and would recommend Dr. Bud to anyone I care about. read more

I have been going to see Dr. Bud for about 5 years now, and was referred to him by my boss. I started with a back problem from work, and regularly over the last 3 years for a workers comp injury to my wrist. Dr. Bud has been instrumental in keeping my spine aliigned and my pain to a minimum with regular chiro treatments and electro magnetic therapy. I have also been seeing Dr. Glen Suh for my acupuncture treatments, which has helped my back and wrist conditions improve so I am mobile and a a result, have much reduced pain. I can't say enough good things about these fine doctors!! read more

Dr. Bud is the doctor to go to! I've been to many chiropractors before, but this guy does the job. He is passionate in taking care of his patients. I had different episodes in where I strained my back from lifting, or gardening and once I got to Dr. Budincich, all it took was a chiropractic adjustment and I was pain free. I am amazed how he remembers all of my kids names and my hobbies. Great doctor! All staff are friendly and office is kept clean. I highly recommend this office as your place to go for pain relief... the natural way! read more

I look forward to working with the staff here to treat my situations and improve my health and comfort. Thanks! read more

Dr. Bud and Dr. Casci are such great doctors. Whenever I have pain I come here and all it takes is a chiropractic adjustment from either one of them and my pain goes away. I've referred my family and friends here as it is trustworthy clinic and I know they won't regret coming here. I also bring my kids here for treatment and relief. My newborn boys were about 1 month old when they received their first chiropractic adjustment. It helped with colic and constipation. Great place to go. Free parking in back ... a plus!!! read more
