Oh my back my back! It hurts it hurts! I came in to address a problem with my back that Ive been having for the past 3-4 weeks or so... Like your typical man I brushed it off for a while untill it started to become crippling bad. I had to wait a whole week before getting an appointment. They are really busy compared to when I was here back in 2019. So the Doctor felt me up ( He man handled me lol) If you are ticklish this may not be for you. He adjusted my shoulders spine hips moving them to the correct place before sticking needles in. He gave me a explanation of what was going on with my body, my shoulders and ribs not aligned and the muscles over compensate for it's misplacement. He predicted that I'll call back for another session in 2-3 weeks. I believe he's right since it took a while for this to develop, I think it's going to take a few visit to fix it. read more

I went for acupuncture and got that plus cupping and a good stretch. This was my first time so I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Andrew is knowledgeable and calm. My insurance didn't cover it so I paid $100 out of pocket which isn't bad at all. Plus it was pain free I will definitely come back! I slept so well the night after. Clean office building and easy to book appointments. read more

Please believe me when I tell you that BCW has been my saving grace! I see Dr Hank and he is so good at what he does. He is very kind, down to earth, funny and knowledgeable. He knows exactly how to help people. I suffer from a herniated disc, groin pain, sciatica and overall body aches and pain that makes me limp and need to use a can. He has helped my pain decrease and am having to use the cane less often. I have Kaiser and aside from giving me drugs, they couldn't help me much. BCW uses different methods to treat you, in my case, acupuncture and a form of kinesiology, it has helped me take less drugs and to feel so much better. I honestly have hope that I will fully recover thanks to the treatment I get from Dr Hank. Do yourself the favor and go see them. You won't regret it! read more

The doctors are so professional and amazing! They cured lots of my carpal tunnel issues and other body aches! Give five stars to dr. Andrew and dr. Hank! read more

You immediately feel relief He explains what he's doing as he's doing it - Just Amazing read more

I started going to Dr. Hank with a work related back issue. It has helped so much to give me relief with the numbness and tingling in the lower legs. Dr. Hank is Great! he explained the procedure very well. It really helps to have an understanding as to what to expect. He also listens to you as a person in regards to what your specific problem is. Then he plans his course of treatment from that conversation. It is very reassuring. The office is well kept and the rooms are always clean. I have already recommended Balance Care Wellness Group to a friend with back issues and well continue to do so. Thanks DR. Hank . read more

These guys are just great. Simple pain in the arm but they helped with so much more. Would absolutely recommend their services.

Acupuncturists: Experienced, licensed acupuncturists. Not straightforward acupuncture. This is more like physical therapy meets acupuncture as there is a lot of body movement and manipulation in addition to needle placement. Results are not immediate, they take several treatments, but over time there is defininte improvement. Facilities: The lobby is nice, but the treatment rooms look a bit worn as does their equipment. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything. Partial window coverings let all the light in and the massage tables are rather poor quality and quite uncomfortable, so it is not very relaxing. Insurance: Good news is they accept insurance. Front Desk Staff: Friendly and efficient. Easy scheduling. Parking: Ample free parking directly in front of the office. read more

I love Balance Care they're very very very good at what they do an excellent bargain. I was paying $170 per session with physical therapy at Balance Care. I now pay $35 and it's 1.1 miles from my home. read more

Hank is professional, personable and knowledgeable. My first visit I used Kaiser to cover the expense but I think I received advance treatment even though my insurance paid for only basic care. Very thankful for him as he seemed very concerned about my condition. A forewarning is that the methods they use require a lot of touching and massaging. I didn't really get a warning until he started touching me. After the first couple of times I put my trust in him and the touching didn't bother me much. I went to them for 6 months but I decided to try somewhere else because of several reasons. One, is that after 6 months of going weekly he couldn't give me any sort of timeline on how much more I would have to go. Even with the insurance it isn't cheap going every week $70 a pop and that's with Kaiser covering some of it. Two, they use a method that is secretive. Hank explained that it's a Taiwanese style that is highly exclusive to the students the teacher chooses. Because of the lack of transparency it's hard to judge whether they're methods are tested and received well by Americans. I did go for 6 months because I did see improvements with my condition but after 4 months of going I didn't see any improvement for the last 2 months. Everyone is different so you may respond differently according to your condition. read more

I found this business through Thumbtack. I have been having moderate to severe health issues ever since I gave birth. It got to a point where I was suffering from mind-numbing fatigue by noontime, the cessation of my period for several months, massive weight gain despite working out and eating healthfully. Practitioners of Western medicine have done nothing but try to address my symptoms, and not understand the root of all my issues. Hank, from Balance Care Wellness, took his time doing the client intake --- which lasted well over forty-five minutes! I was surprised by the care he took in attempting to understand what was behind all my issues. He didn't care that he was spending so much time on a free consultation. I appreciated that a lot. This told me he was more concerned with patient care than making money off me. He put the needles on my back and the warm cups as well. Almost immediately, I fell asleep. Usually, that's a good sign, I'm told. It means that blood circulation is improving and getting to the places where it usually doesn't. When I got home, I was expecting to feel the usual symptoms of pain and fatigue. But I didn't. I had so much energy all the way to midnight. This was new to me. I trust Hank and Balance Care Wellness to look after me. Not just peddle pill after pill, the same way most doctors do. It took a while before I found the right health practitioner, but they were worth the wait. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone that wants a professional to analyze the source of all their health concerns --- and not just address mere symptoms. read more

I have been going here for a few years now and I absolutely love this place. I've since moved to Riverside, an hour away, but will not switch to a new place. I don't mind the drive if I can stay at this clinic. Andrew is so knowledgeable and listens to and addresses all of my concerns. The massage therapist is amazing and doesn't chit chat, I hate small talk when I'm trying to relax. I've had tremendous results from my treatments here. No upselling whatsoever. Love this place! read more

I walked into Balance Care in severe pain from spinal stenosis. Chiropractic had helped for a time until my condition got worse. My doctor had prescribed a narcotic painkiller and another medication but I didn't want to get dependent on them, so except in the most extreme circumstances I just tried to tolerate the pain. Hank worked with me and I had my first acupuncture. Before the acupuncture, he did some manipulation of my muscles in my back and legs. After my treatment I felt better but I progressively got even better through the week. Each time I've gone I have felt better and better and now I am able to comfortably go a month between treatments. I am so very grateful to Balance Care for improving my quality of life and I will continue to use them. read more

I've been going to balance care wellness group for a while now, and have nothing but great things to say about them. I refer them to anybody who asked for an acupuncture doctor.

I also really liked the massage I got from Gina. All the stuff there is so welcoming and very nice! read more

I used to get very bad cramping during my period and I had some serious digestion problems and also insomnia; after seeing dr. Andrew Chen, my cramping isn't as severe now, my stomach feels better and I'm well rested in my sleep. Acupuncture does not fix problem just in one time, so I still go see dr. Andrew Chen constantly, and I hope my problems will go away soon, but so far I've seen a rapid result! Dr. Andrew Chen is a very nice and caring, he is a very skillful acupuncturist, I would totally recommend him when you go there! read more

See all

Hank is great! He's very knowledgeable and always makes my symptoms go away. I'd highly recommend him

I have been coming to Balance Care to treat my sciatica and it has helped tremendously! It has always been easy to get an appointment and the staff has always been great. I will definitely be a regular patient here. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot rave enough about the care I have been given in the last 3 appts. I came to BCW with what I have self-diagnosed as a pinched nerve in my neck as I have been to 2 dr/2 specalists/& the Er and they gave me drugs and didnt bother to examine or diagnosis me. It has been almost 1 1/2 mo that I have been in excruciating pain from my shoulder to my arm, hand numb and weak and I could not get help. Hank is so kind and so thorough, he does extensive body manipulation on me and then acupuncture.I felt a difference after the first visit, less pain& numbness easier to sleep & live in general. I have been able to stop taking the nerve pain meds the Western Drs. prescribed. I feel hope now that if I continue to come I may be able to have a life again. Aside: My mother died the day after this all happened and Hank was one of the only people who said "sorry." I seriously cant even imagine how I went to 3 Drs. who couldnt even say sorry , when I told them my mother died a few days ago! Thanks for caring enough to say something and work to get me better. read more

I have been suffering from back pain for the last month so severe that I can not even get out of bed at time or lift my leg. I have needed help with almost everything including using the restroom. I have been with my pcp and all though they gave me muscle relaxers and pain pills it did absolutely nothing. Not even really take the pain away. My last resort was let me try acupuncture. My first appointment was just this past Saturday and wow let me tell you !!! I was able to sit up right out of bed and my pain literally went down 50%.!!! Today was my second appointment (3days later) and already just leaving the office I feel so much better .!! I can walk a bit faster and even got out of the car with no problem... I will for sure continue to stay a loyal customer to keep up with the plan provided for me. This has worked and has helped me out so quick and has relived a lot of my pain more then any primary doctor has ever have.. THANK YOU ANDREW CHEN.. read more

Balance Care Wellness Group - Acupuncture Near Me - Glendora, California

Clean facility, friendly service, great doctors!

I went with back and shoulder pain, and after being treated there, the pain were relieved almost instantly. Dr. Chen and Dr. Liao used acupuncture, cupping, and heat treatment, which were very helpful. They examined carefully, and gave great advice in maintaining a healthy mind and body. Clean and relaxing environment. Highly recommended! read more

I got in a car accident and was suffering back aches for weeks. I went to the ER and a spine doctor both of these told me I was fine. After 6 weeks of pain and none of these professionals wanting to offer a solution I visited this place, with a single acupuncture session i walked out like a new man. They were very professional and offered me a great discount. read more

The clinic is very clean and organized. I came here for some health issue (of course), and i was absolutely impressed. Dr. Chen was very caring and friendly, and he explained everything you needed/wanted to know. Acupuncture and cupping were done with great care, and I felt better almost instantly. I went back a few times for follow-ups, and every single visit was a great experience. Dr. Liao was also very professional and helpful, although I mainly saw Dr. Chen. I highly recommend this clinic. Oh, and they take a lot different insurance. Call abead and check if you got questions! read more

I live in Cerritos but I drive all the way to Glendora for their treatment;that should say a lot reflecting their amazing work. I saw both Dr. Chen and Dr. Liao and they are both good at what they are doing. The clinic offers a variety of therapy depending on your need; personally, I have tried acupunncture, cupping, herbal supplements, and massage. The following review is specifically for the massage. I have been to many different massage places prior to this experience. This one is phenomenal. Starting with the environment: The clinic is very clean and bright, while other places may be dark and not so clean. It also gives you complete privacy where you have your own room and there is soft music playing in the background to help you relax, while in other places, you need to pay extra to have your own VIP room or else you are having massage with a group of strangers some may be snoring next to you, and occasionally, farting next to you. Secondly, the clinic provides one-time-use-cloth for you to wear for the massage and keep you warm with the ultra red light lamp (same equipment the clinic uses for heat therapy) instead of hot towels that I often wonder if they are clean or not at other massage places. Jenny was the one who gave me massage. She would start the massage from foot to scalp. She is very professional and really do relax your muscle at the end of the therapy. Don't forget to leave her gratuties in the envelop inside a box on the desk! Highly recommended! read more

This is the best acupuncture treatment I've had. I won't say I am an acupuncture junkie but through out the years I have seen around 10 different doctors in this field. The technique used here with acupuncture and acupressure done simultaneously is amazing. The doctor is extremely patient and thorough. I gave him my medical report and he spent time going over in detail before the treatment. I learned new things on top of the treatment. A simple neck pain could be due to a combination of causes and most doctors only treat the superficial. This doctor spends time to find the root cause. read more

I've been to several acupuncture clinics from Arcadia to Garden Grove and I haven't been to one as caring, knowledgeable and professional as Balance Care. These guys know their stuff and will work with you until they make you feel better. Today Andrew looked at me and said that he loved what he does because it's like putting together a puzzle. This is a place were your not just a number or just a means to a paycheck. There have been times when he's worked with me for almost two hours by stretching me, using accupuncture, acupressure and cupping to ease and eliminate my pain. I came to this place with an 8 level pain and about 10 treatments later the sciatica pain is completely gone. Now we're working on another getting my legs healthy again. Give this office a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I normally am not one to write a review: however, I was real impressed on the work that is done here at Balance Care Wellness Group in Glendora. This place is great if you need to do acupuncture or if you have physical pain or discomfort in your body. I found Balance Care Wellness Group on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I have suffered neck pain, back pain and Asthma and after the first treatment I felt better immediately. I have been going weekly since June 2014 and plan on continuing my visits and recommend this office to friends and family. Very clean and calming office. Dr. Chen and Dr. Liao both do a great job and are very professional. read more

Absolutely wonderful. Was not a fan of acupuncture. I guess it's a needle thing. The two young men that run this place do amazing work. My husband Michael felt better after first visit. Would whole heartedly recommend them. And the needle thing is no longer an issue for him. He actually goes weekly. Thank you Balance Care Wellness read more

Dr. Hank is absolutely amazing! I started seeing him about 2 months ago in regards to migraines. In these past 2 months my migraines have just about gone completely away. He is also helping me get rid of muscle tightness in my neck and shoulder area. Dr Hank is very professional and takes his time to make to sure to address any questions or concerns. read more

Love this place. Both my daughter and I come here. My daughter was injured during cheerleading practice. At first I was referred to a chiropractor, he was very nice but the pain on her back was still there. Then weeks later I slipped down the stairway and I was holding my puppy so in order for the puppy not to get hurt I somehow managed to shift my body to the opposite side but landed on my tailbone so hard. It was the worst pain! I couldn't really walk. So I came on here and decided to look for acupuncturist and after doing my research I found them. So after my first appointment i felt so much better and immediately booked an appointment for my daughter as well. So when my daughter came to the first visit we found out that her body had shifted to one side and her elbow was out which was causing her pressure on her ribs. Ughhh! My poor daughter. He took her out from doing cheer for a month. Well I'm happy to say that she's been cleared to cheer again without restrictions and she couldn't be happier! I also referred a friend and she absolutely LOVES THIS PLACE. read more

I absolutely love this place! I was VERY skeptical about acupuncture. I've always been afraid of needles so doing this was a huge leap for me. My neck, shoulder and back pain was so chronic that I was ready to try anything at this point. The staff is wonderful, Hank is kind, Jenny the masseuse is a dream and Andrew is my acupuncturist - I just love him! He takes the time to explain how all of the procedures work together from acupuncture to cupping and stretch techniques that he teaches me. He's patient and doesn't rush me through anything. Not to mention, they handle all of my insurance papers, with no head ache to me. Jenny is a great masseuse - she is so great at what she does. She makes me snore! :) I've been going for about 2-3 months now - I was at a level 20 on a pain scale of 1-10 when I walked through their door. Today I'm coasting at a 5-7 as the process continues but I feel so much better and look forward to every visit. Do it....this place is awesome! read more

Brand new and clean! A variety of therapy services. Would highly recommend!

Clients rate this facility five stars. I agree. If one is in need of the type of services they provide; this is a great place. They stand behind their business name, "balance and wellness" along side being professional. read more

I love this place. The doctors and staff are brilliant and the treatments I have received are amazing. Highly recommend the accupuncture, cuuping and massage! read more

I have been amazed at the care and results I have experienced from Dr. Hank and his associate Andrew Chen also. They understand the muscles and tendons of the body! They are amazing. I have had upper and lower back, leg, and shoulder pain all my life. Pain medication does not resolve the underlying problems. Eventually, I stopped going to chiropractors because their treatments were too rough and often seemed to make things worse. A friend strongly recommended this clinic to me. It took 2 years before I trusted her and made an appointment. I was not familiar with Eastern medicine. I still do not understand the process of acupuncture. But that coupled with gentle manipulation of painful areas during the process relieves the pain, usually before I leave the office. I have learned to drink lots of water after a treatment and rest. By the next day I feel 100% better. My lifestyle still leads me to overdo it. So I return for treatments maybe 5-8 times a year over the last 2 years. Kaiser insurance covers part of these treatments. I am so grateful for their practice! read more
