"Dr. Sophia Chang doesn't just treat symptoms; she treats the root cause. Her ability to integrate traditional Chinese medicine with a sports medicine approach is exceptional. I started seeing Dr. Chang over two years ago for SI joint pain and was initially skeptical that acupuncture could help. I couldn't have been more wrong. Following my hip replacement surgeries, I was dealing with SI joint pain, scar tissue buildup, and limited range of motion. With each visit, my pain subsided and my range of motion improved. She addressed issues that traditional physical therapy alone could not. Dr. Chang has become an essential part of my recovery and self-care regimen. She takes the time to truly listen to your concerns; that kind of care is rare and has made a significant difference in my healing journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Thanks so much again for being ever so patient and spending so much time with my mom!!! After the visit she was walking better and standing taller which is very encouraging to see. And she is more open—not yet conceded—to me bringing her in for regular visits so that’s a win! Im grateful for generosity and kindness 🙏🏼"

– A.O.

"I had a fantastic experience here with Dr. Chang! I’ve had bad experiences with acupuncture prior to this, and she took the time to listen to those concerns and took measures to avoid those issues. She is super kind and professional and makes you feel very comfortable. I was being treated for running injuries, and it wasn’t long until I was able to run again! I highly recommend Pure Health Alliance!"

– J. B.

"Dr. Chang is very attentive and compassionate. Her knowledge and expertise in acupuncture was evident in just the first visit."

"Hi Dr. Chang, Just checking in to let you know that I feel awesome. I have not been sick since I started seeing you. Even with all of the travel I have been doing I have not caught anything! Thank you!"

– P. S.

"After knee surgery to repair my severed anterior circulate ligament (ACL) I was left with numbness and weakness in my knee. After treatment by Dr. Chang, I recovered sensation and strength in my knee and was able to resume the my active life style. I’m grateful to Dr. Chang and highly recommend her as a competent clinician."

– J. S.

"Dr. Chang is a fantastic and knowledgeable acupuncturist. I saw her for about 2 months for an injury in my right shoulder and neck. I was unable to sleep at night because of the pain and was also feeling numbness in my hand. After the first few treatments I felt a measurable improvement in the pain and had increased movement. After about 10 treatments I have not had any more issues with my neck and shoulder. I highly recommend her!"

– S. C.

"Dear Dr. Chang, Thank you so much for seeing me on short notice. I wanted to let you know that my anxiety has been greatly decreased and my sense of groundedness and peace has returned. I am so relieved and grateful to have you nearby to help me when I am feeling overwhelmed."

– A. C.

"After a several-months-long progression of decreasing range of motion and increasing pain in my shoulder, I was at my wit’s end. After only one treatment by Dr. Chang, I had nearly full movement and significantly less pain than after two months of physical therapy! Thanks Dr. Chang!"

– L. C.

"Hey Dr. C, I was able to get through my chemo and I want to thank you for the treatment. I’m resting at home today and not feeling as fatigued and miserable as I usually feel post-chemo. Thank you for the ongoing support and see you next week!"

– T. C.

"Dr. Chang and her staff are amazing! Really knowledgeable and she's a miracle worker, seriously. She's got the Midas touch."
