I've had really bad back pain last few months. I felt much much better right after I visited the chiropractor Dr.Chang. She knows what to do and very professional.
I visited Central Cairo because I often had pain in my neck and shoulders. It was my first time, and the teacher checked various aspects of my physical condition. They explained well where I was not feeling well and in pain. After the treatment, my body felt so much better. Thank you, Teacher Ayoung, for your skill, kindness, and beauty!
Dr. Chang is a great chiropractor. I've had an amazing experience at her clinic. Her understanding and caring for my pain was amazing. Not only she is an amazing Chiropractor but also she is an incredibly caring person.
...My physiotherapist was David Ko, and he is amazing at what he does. He is very knowledgeable, always answering my millions of questions, and showed me many exercises that were easy for me to keep up with on my own at home, that really helped with my recovery. 10/10 would recommend!
