Ok so, I've been looking for a Chiro for awhile now. For the past few years, I've been getting tingling and numbness that shoots down from my neck to my fingers (I saw 2 previous chiros with no relief). It's been bearable, but after the past year of starting my first job as a nurse, my neck, back, arms, and fingers have felt worse. So it was time. I found Dr. Cheung on Yelp and after a few sessions, I can honestly say that I can feel a difference. The numbness and tingling has decreased a lot. It used to wake me up from sleep frequently and now I find myself sleeping better through the night. I know this is a work in progress to fix but I'm super excited and happy with my decision to choose this doc. I highly recommend Dr. Cheung! He is MAGIC! read more

Always good to see Dr Cheung. We have been taking our kids to see him for a few years now. He relieves pain very effectively. We will keep coming back anytime we need some help. read more

Dr. Cheung is a miricle worker, I have a siatic problem that acts up every so often. I am in the service industry and am on my feet 7 hrs a day 6 days a week. The first time I met Dr. Cheung, I was working part time and on a limited budget, he treated me and worked with in my budget, he fixed me up. Fast forward to this week I threw out my back, really bad spasms went to Dr. Cheungs office and he remembered me from four years ago, he is fixing me up, with therapy and exercises, almost at 100%. Still a great value, amazing staff clean office, very friendly and professional. This is the place to go if you are looking for a chiropractor. Parking available too. read more

Several Months ago I was in a car accident and the day after the accident i was so sore I couldn't get out of bed without some help. I visited Dr. Cheung and man did he straighten me out. I went through several weeks of treatments and in no time i was better than before the accident. read more

Had a painful situation going on with my wrist for about a year or so and it had been getting more painful lately, I decided enough was enough and it was time to deal with it. I began a search of local Chiropractors. After reading through numerous reviews on a few Doctors, I narrowed it down to Dr. Richard Cheung. I called the office and was given a pretty quick appointment to see the Doctor I was also told how to access the parking which is on the street in back of the office, not on Lake. I arrived to find ample reserved parking for his patients. I entered the Building and found his office. It was nicely decorated and painted in nice calming colors. The staff at the front desk were friendly and ready with initial visit paperwork to fill out. I was informed that my insurance wasn't accepted at his office and I told them I couldn't pay cash, the Dr. overheard and gave me a very reasonable rate which I appreciated as I have had little work of late. I agreed, as I was impressed by this Man's reputation....I'm glad I did! He examined my wrist and my field of motion with it, he proceeded with some heat treatment and manipulation which were soothing the pain I had been experiencing. He then wrote me a referral to get an X-ray at a nearby location which I did. I returned for a follow up appointment at which I was told the X-ray report found a normal wrist I was given a treatment and also an adjustment to my back which had been bothering me...I was glad the report was standard, since I had been dramatically self diagnosing some sort of Arthritis out of the 100 or so varieties or bone cancer, nonetheless, it was quite painful and Dr. Cheung knowing this referred me to an associate of his, Dr. Lin, in Arcadia. I have an appointment there later this week. I appreciated his expertise and his getting me to a specialist, as the X-ray report gave an accounting of a normal wrist. I found Dr. Cheung and his staff to be friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating. I will be back there after my visit with Dr. Lin. I am very glad to have found his office.... with the help of Yelp by the way : ) I will update when appropriate. read more

Thanks to yelp, I found Dr Cheung and he has been wonderful! He has been treating my teen age daughter for her numerous water polo injuries and for an auto accident related injury. He has a great sense of humor and is easy to work with. He is very thorough in my daughter's care and we love him! read more

Well, it's been a few years since I've praised my favorite chiropractor on Earth. I've been a patient now for years. Over the years, I've needed regular adjustments and more recently hurt my shoulder. In addition to his skills, his friendly and capable staff, and his clean facilities, Dr Cheung offers unparalleled support in dealing with insurance company shenanigans. He was able to negotiate and order a timely MRI for my shoulder injury. His handling of the insurance part is the only painless part of my injury so far! Any Doc that can go hand to hand with the insurance giants to get what his patients' need is incredible. I still recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, no hassle chiropractor. read more

Dr. Cheung and his staff were extremely nice and my visit could not have been better. I could go on and on with details you don't care about but the bottom line is I will recommend him to all of my family and friends. If you're looking for a chiropractor in the Pasadena area, give them a shot. read more

The BEST chiropractor in the San Gabriel Valley! Parking: Yes Flexible hours, takes insurance or no insurance and great rates! He will always take care of you, get to know you and what your needs are. I feel more alive after seeing Dr. Cheung! Thank you read more

Finally someone who cares!!! I've been dealing with chronic back pain ever since a car accident several years ago. Just when I had enough of bouncing from one referral to the next, I finally found Dr.Cheung. After I introduced myself and my situation, he simply said "We're going to get you better". And he continues to! Totally affordable for me and my insurance debacle, his staff is beyond helpful and downright sweet! I can finally envision myself getting better and better and better. THANKS A LOT GUYS! read more

[if you want a quick overview, skip over this first paragraph-it's just me explaining how I ended up going and why I continue to go ] I have been going to Dr. Cheung's for almost a year now and seriously it has helped me A LOT. I had never gone to a chairo before, even after I was in a car accident a few years ago (I had muscle tightness and bone bruising on my back, but luckily no breaks or major spinal injuries). I was weary about going to see a chiropractor at all, I really amounted my back aches and such to not working out enough and building up back muscles, not enough stretching, etc. But then, even when I did pick up working out and strength training I still had stiffness and aches making it difficult to fall asleep; and I still couldn't bend and touch my toes-I couldn't even stretch to pass my knee caps. Mind you, I am about 5'3" and weighed about 135 at this time so it was odd that I just could NOT reach and stretch pass my knee caps, even AFTER I had started working out, stretching and all that. So, one day I went with my cousins who had been in a serious car accident and were going to Dr. Cheung's for treatment and after their treatment I said, what the hell, I am already here-let's give this a shot. After I did a few stretches, answered a few questions about what troubles me most, mentioned I DID sit for long hours continuously (in traffic - go figure, it's LA- and at a desk job, on top of grad. school class lectures AND studying: basically, my life consisted of a LOT of sitting and more sitting). Then came the adjustment portion-I was nervous by the way, especially when my neck was going to get cracked- but the office space has a very comfortable feel, everyone is friendly, and Dr. Cheung gives a heads up and said the neck crack is going to be really loud so don't freak out-that helped a lot mentally but I know my eyes went huge after the first crack, he wasn't kidding when he said it was going to be loud. Anyway, after getting adjusted, my whole back and even my head/neck/shoulders area (especially where they connect) felt SO much more relaxed, loss of tension/muscles straining, and I felt light- lo and behold, I did the same stretches he asked me to do before adjustment and I COULD TOUCH MY TOES!!! It was then I realized I was THAT wound up and since then I've been going for adjustments about once a month. Side note: my stress headaches and severe migraines have pleasantly decreased in frequency since I started going. So if you have those also, you might need a good crack in the neck to help with that :) Over-all summary: Types of Treatments: adjustments, sports therapy, treatments of automobile accident injuries. Note: if your injury or treatment requires wraps or some kind of ointment, they do have some in office for purchase. ALSO, Dr. Cheung will give you a recommendation of how often to come in depending on the severity of your condition and will show you stretches and so on that you can do at home or even at your desk while at work to help between treatments. For first timers: You will need to fill out a couple of forms and sign some papers as per usual with any medical office so they have a file for you. Age range of patience [based on what I have seen when there]: average is high schoolers (sports therapy) to people in their 40s and up. I see some seniors once in a while. Insurance: some insurance are accepted, call ahead to see if yours is. Payment: again, some insurance are accepted, other than that - they take cash, debit, or major credit cards (Visa for sure-but call ahead to double check for other cards) Price: Reasonable, even without insurance. (My insurance isn't accepted so I pay out of pocket every time I go) Office: comfy, decent sized, and clean! The chairs used are cleaned and those hospital bed tissue/paper rolls are used when you go for your treatment. Everyone @ the office: friendly, easy to talk to. Parking: Free-at the back of the building. I recommend google street view before you go because there is a narrow driveway to get to the parking that goes between two residential homes. You can of course park out side the front of the building if you prefer and where you can- the street parking is on a busy main street though, so just a quick heads up on that. Nearest fwys: the office is right off the 210 fwy - you're basically going to downtown Pasadena which is about another 5 minutes away by car on the side street. Take a gander on Google maps for a better idea visually. Setting appointments: Closed on Sundays, earliest time to come in is 8:30 a.m. BUT depending on the day they close at 6pm or noon. Walk-ins: usually not a problem BUT give their office a call ahead of time to see if they're super busy that day or not. Some days are unexpectedly more busy than others - the appointments are literally one right after the other some days. Hope this helps! Sincerely, A former Chiropractor skeptic read more

First of all, if I could give Dr Cheung 6 stars , I would because he definitely deserves it. I was very skeptical about going to a chiropractor because I have never been to one in all of my 61 years . I am so thankful I found Dr Cheung. He is very caring , knowledgeable and has great bed side manner. He definitely cares about his patients and goes above and beyond the call of duty. I came in with a shoulder issue as a result of a boxing injury I sustained almost 2 years ago. In just a few short weeks, my range of motion in my shoulder and arm has increased tremendously! He is truly a miracle worker!! I highly recommend him for your chiro needs. read more

This review is a few months late. I have been suffering with Coccyx for almost a year after an injury at work. I tried everything, my doctor, accupuncture, nothing would help. I have never been to a Chiropractor before but after calling and speaking with Dr Cheung for 5 minutes he really knew a lot about my injury and the options he had to treat it. After only a few treatments It went away for almost 3 weeks. It is something that may never go away but it seems like every time I go back to him it gets better and better and I can wait longer in between trips. He definitely is the only person who has given me any sort of results in the past year. Thank you for everything! read more

Thought to write an update to my yelp review. I appreciate when people take the time to come back and write a quality review - it's what I look for when hunting for businesses so I don't do this often but it's been 4 years since I left my review on a healed hamstring at Chirocenter Pasadena...well, it hasn't irked me once since treatment. Just goes to show how effective he is. Dr. Cheung's staff is really friendly, calls you by name and are all really passionate about helping people alleviate their pain. Been a patient for 6 years and his new associates are just as amazing. Go! You'll love it. read more

As a patient under the care of Dr Cheung over the past year I've experienced great care and will continue to seek out his care in 2018. As a UPS driver my body goes through so much activity and requires the utmost care and treatments. I'm sure I can get that here as I get older and require the highest care and treatment in the future. Thank you for the care and rehab in 2017. Hope to continue here in 2018. Thank you Joel-UPS driver read more

I found Dr. Cheung last year through Yelp. I saw that he had great reviews and came to see for myself why. A year later, I've been his regular patient. He's helped me with my spine which causes pain and numbness, In this last episode, I've been in pain and numbness for over two months. It was very distressing. Through numerous treatments and prescribed daily exercises, I've seen gradual improvement. This is a process and nothing is overnight but it's a great relief. He also has a great attitude and tremendous knowledge about nutrition and physics of the body. I plan to continue my treatment with him. read more

Visited Dr Cheung a couple of weeks ago for knee pains. He quickly got into treatment. As of today, I'm doing way better and still seeing results. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Cheung. He will take great care of you! read more

I found Dr. Cheung on Yelp after I was re-injured from a chiropractor at the JOINT Chiropractic. After a few weeks my back felt a lot better and I was able to resume my regular workout routine. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area. Furthermore, his staff is very courteous, flexible, and understanding (especially with my busy work schedule) read more

Dr. Cheung is simply the best. After dealing with bilateral Achilles for a few years Dr Cheung has been able to improve my life significantly. There no words really to express the gratitude I have towards he's expertise and care he has towards my well being. A monument should be erected after he's name. Thank you Dr. Cheung. read more

I have been to a number of chiropractors over the years and by far Dr. Cheung has been the most helpful. I have been in a few accidents, and am also a cyclist and a hairstylist. This combination of factors usually leaves my back feeling stiff and sore and, and makes working and playing difficult and painful. This year I have been seeing Dr. Cheung once a month and I am seeing amazing results. I have less overall pain, more energy and don't get headaches anymore. Dr. Cheung is kind, funny and highly knowledgeable. I also really appreciate their location and easy street parking. Go see him, you won't regret it. read more

My wife was in pain and needed someone close to her office. I identified Richard Cheung, with great reviews here...He was able to make himself available in his busy schedule and see and treat her. Fast forward a few weeks, my son and I have also joined the club of his very happy and regular patients! (We have a history of weak backs in the family). read more

My favorite chiropractor and I have gone to too many if you ask me. He immediately saw the issue with my back & so far he has been nothing but a tremendous help to me.

Amazing!!! This is my third time seeing DR Cheung and every time I leave I feel better and better. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to see a chiropractor. read more

Woke up one morning with a crooked neck. It's one of those things where you know if you don't get it treated fast, it'll get worse. I've had a bad back for 16 years, and NO, I don't want an X-ray every time I see a new doctor. I got an appt that morning before work, the secretary was very kind and professional. The office is clean and nice. Dr. Cheung asked me a few questions, and got to work right away. A few cracks here and there and I was good to go to work. He asked me about "taping" to "stabilize" my adjustment for the rest of the day. He said that's his specialty, and it seems like he does a lot of sports treatments. (Sorry, I'm not much of an athlete, so that's all I know) Never heard of it, but it sounded interesting and I have insurance, so I said "Sure, why not?" I think it did help me for the rest of the day. read more

Quick and to the point: Doctor: Dr. Cheung is intelligent, friendly, and funny. I did my research, he's knowledgeable in chiropractic, sports medicine, nutrition, and healthcare. Staff: Friendly, processed my payment quickly, and reminds me of my appointments. Price: Compared to other chiropractors, the price is reasonable. They are open on Saturdays! Unfortunately, they didn't take my insurance (Cigna), but the details below explains why I still would continue to see Dr. Cheung. Office & Parking: Waiting room is small, but you won't wait long. The rooms I've been in are clean and relaxing. Plenty parking spaces in the back. It's easy to miss the narrow driveway to their parking lot. My experience (in detail): After seeing 5 different chiropractors in several places around LA, Dr. Cheung was the only chiropractor who could crack my neck! I prefer the "old fashion cracks." I have an office job, so like many people, I need an alignment now-and-then to have that sense of relief. After a session, I was telling Dr. Cheung that I needed to see a dentist for my jaw. At that moment he asked if he could use the IASTM (Faktr) technique on my face and jaw. In one session, my mouth opened from 2.5 inches to 3.5. After 4 more sessions, I am able to open my mouth without any clicks from my jaw. This has been a 20-year issue which I tried correcting with braces and night guards, only to have found a large improvement with only a few sessions with Dr. Cheung. read more

I've dealt with a wrist issue for a few years and no other doctor can seem to help me with it other than Dr. Cheung. His quick and simple adjustments take away all the pain that I have. read more

Where should I start? Dr. Richard Cheung is an amazing Chiropractor that always puts his clients first and is attentive to their needs. I was involved in a pretty bad car accident and Dr. Cheung has been fixing me up since. The treatments are making me feel better thanks to Dr. Cheung. An extra plus is the customer service here as well. The entire staff is super efficient and friendly. Never had I had such a wow experience in a clinic. I most definitely recommend Dr. Cheung for all of your Chiropractic needs! read more

Dr. Cheung is an amazing chiropractor! After playing collegiate volleyball and the wear and tear of life, I have developed problems with my L3, L4, and L5. The vertebrae are twisted which causes tightness along my spine (up to my neck) and much discomfort. Dr. Cheung always takes his time adjusting me and makes sure I feel better. Because of him, most of the pain in my back has gone away! Dr. Cheung and his office are wonderful and always ready to help! read more

I had lower back spasms one sunday evening and collapsed to the floor. I was prone for the next 2 days...just could not get up. I went to Dr. Cheung Wed and Thursday, and was back at work on Friday...all due to his excellent treatment. He and his receptionist Randy are very professional and courteous, and make an attempt to know you individually. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of his office, and the advanced techniques Dr. Cheung employed. My first set of back spasms was almost 10 years ago, and I wish that I had gone to him back then. I'd recommend him to anyone with back problems, minor or major. I feel confident in the exercises he has shown me for routine conditioning of my back. A very high quality of care...you won't regret it! read more

Dr. Cheung really helped my neck after I was in a car accident a couple months ago. Each time I go in he & his staff are always so kind & accommodating. My neck has gotten so much better with his help. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Cheung & staff! :) :) read more

I have been to 6 chiropractors in my life. All of them good, but Richard Cheung is the best I've experienced. With two bad shoulders, a doctor wanted to give me cortisone shots. After 6 sessions with Richard, no shots, and rotation and flexibility is coming back to full range. The guy thinks outside the box, cares and works with you. Randy at the front desk is sweet and sharp, and they don't have you wait to get adjusted or fixed up. An efficient practice that cares . Definitely recommend! read more

My wife gave birth last week threw out her back pretty bad. So much so that she was having a very hard time caring for our son. I called her regular Chiro as well as others she had seen in the past on Thursday morning trying to find someone that could take her that morning. None of them were available. So I turned to Yelp. After three more calls I found Dr Cheung. His office was closed that morning but he answered the phone. After I explained my wife's situation he agreed to see her right away. He took amazing care of my wife and she was back to her old self in minutes. I'm so very grateful he answered the phone that morning. We will deffinately be coming back. read more

Dr. Cheung was my ankle's savior .. I injured my ankle while playing volleyball because someone had crossed under and I landed on them after going up to block. At first I went to doctor Cheung while I was waiting for approval from my insurance for treatments with HMO doctors. First time visiting Dr. Cheung I was already on crutches for 3 weeks and within a few visits, I was able to say bye to my crutches. Doctor Cheung did an amazing job at reducing the swelling and pain and got my on my feet again. Once I got approval from my insurance, I started going to my HMO doctors .. They put me on a boot for 3 months and no improvements .. Went to many HMO doctors and not one of them told me what exactly was wrong with my ankle. Paid to go to see a physical therapist and got the exact same answer as my HMO doctors, that I'll get better with time. Still the same vague answer .. After 7 months of "it will get better with time" I wasn't getting any better at all. In fact, it's even gotten worse since I last saw Dr. Cheung. I had no mobility and stability after seeing my HMO doctors and physical therapist. I decided to go back to Dr. Cheung for treatments again and within 2 weeks it got a lot better than I did in the past 7 months of seeing my HMO doctors and therapists. However, even with Dr. Cheung's excellent care, it wasn't recovering as both Dr. Cheung and I hope it would (for one obvious reason, he's not an Orthopedic Surgeon). Dr. Cheung then referred me out to a Orthopedic Surgeon for a second opinion and so I went and got a doctor report and everything and went back to Dr. Cheung for further treatments. Turned out I tore my ligament and sprained my tendon, and not one of those HMO doctors or therapist diagnosed that even when I gave them my x-ray AND MRI report. After seeing my report from the specialist Dr. Cheung knew exactly how to fix me. After 12 sessions with Dr. Cheung my ankle has improved tremendously. I now have mobility, and hasn't gained all but most of my stability back and it's all thanks to Dr. Cheung. Bottom line is, this guy knows what he's doing and he is amazing at it! My biggest regret was trusting my insurance to refer me to bs HMO doctors and stopped visiting Dr. Cheung for those 7 months. If I didn't stop seeing Dr. Cheung I would be playing volleyball again, no doubt. But because I didn't see him for months because I gave my HMO doctors the benefit of doubt, it messed up my ankle even more before I started seeing Dr. Cheung again. Dr. Cheung won't bs with you, he will only do what he knows and will always provide excellent care. Under Dr. Cheung's excellent care, I will be able to play volleyball again. I am now walking properly, can jog and do my normal daily routines again. Had I not went to see Dr. Cheung, god knows what position I'll be in right now and how much longer I'll be out for. Not to mention, he's a really funny guy! So yea, 7 months with bs doctors and no improvements, 12 sessions with Dr. Cheung and I can walk and run and be active again. I'll make sure to send him a thank you note once I start playing volleyball again. I highly recommend Dr. Cheung to EVERYONE! He is experienced and is an expert at what he does, you'll be in good hands, I promise. OH! His staffs are very nice and friendly as well! You will always get VIP treatments and excellent service at his office. Randy especially, she's a sweetheart and Dr. Cheung is an excellent healthcare provider! You really do get the best of both worlds at Dr. Cheung's office! read more

Dr. Cheung really helped me and a friend out these past few months! After being in a very damaging car accident, we looked around for chiropractors in the area. Dr. Cheung stood out to us with his high yelp reviews so I decided to call. I have to admit, it was very last minute and I wasn't expecting much, but Randy (the receptionist) was so nice and warm and told us it wasn't a problem. And from that day forward, going to the chiropractor was never a chore. I actually looked forward to it all the time! Especially the rollers :) If you're looking for a great chiropractor, look no further! Dr. Cheung is very accomodating, has flexible times, and is great at relieving whatever back pains i have for the day, as well as my daily stress. read more

Dr Cheung helps me feel better whenever I feel twisted on my waist, pain on my mid to upper back. After he adjusts me, i feel an improvement right away. Having a 1yr old and a 5yr old kids gives me those aches and pains from lifting and catching up with them, those short visits are my quiet time away from my kids. I highly recommend him to parents who are feeling pain from lifting their babies. read more
