Louise Sung is very good at acute pain relief from spinal problems and muscle spasm. I saw her monthly for years to keep my spine moving well. As a patient I needed to decide whether I wanted to be locked into such a program indefinitely, as she does not provide any exercises to help you heal yourself and move beyond her treatment. She often runs late and also does not have a receptionist, so she takes calls while treating you, which can be annoying. If you like the approach of chiropractors, I can recommend her. $55 for 15 mins

Approximate cost: $55
