I have been doing mountaineering for about 7 seven years. In that time I have crossed mountains in the San Jacinto, San Bernardino, San Gabriel and the famed Sierra Nevada ranges here in California and different sections of the Cascades range that stretches out between Oregon and Washington. Many of my hikes and climbs have included over 20+ miles per day, cross country traversing in unstable rock filled terrain, and winter traversing knee and sometimes waist deep in snow. It is an amazing pursuit of physical endurance but the downside of it is that traversing such treacherous terrain takes a serious toll on your body. This year my body finally had a little bit too much of it. My lower back was locking up constantly, I had shooting pain running from my lower back to the bottom of my left foot and my hips were experiencing sharp, stabbing pain as well. After a few months of experiencing such discomfort I decided to seek out professional help and thats when I sought the services of Dr. Lim. Upon my first visit Dr. Lim and I talked about my various ailments and began examining my body through a series of stretching and bending techniques to see how my body reacted to certain movements she guided me though. She was very upfront upon finishing her examination and explained to me what my problem was and why it was causing me pain. Right away she spotted my hip misalignment and helped me understand that walking on treacherous terrain made me more prone to hip dysfunction which in turn can cause lumbar dysfunction. In other words, treacherous terrain = hip misalignment = discomfort. Simple as that. After diagnosing my issue Dr Lims not only suggested a treatment plan but also a wellness plan and I think thats what sets her apart from other Chiropractors. The wellness plan included educating me on how to take better care of my body based on my lifestyle. That meant helping me understand the effects my lifestyle in the outdoors can have on my body and how to better prepare to handle mountaineering, before and after each climb. It took about eight visits with her, which she was very upfront with me in letting me know it would take approximately that long to correct my bodys imbalances and align my spine for optimal movement, more range of motion and less pain. In that time she also taught me a series of exercises to follow and continue to do as long as I continue climbing and beyond. In short, she helped me with my body but also educated me about my body and helped create good habits, in this case exercise habits, to manage any future imbalances. She is a complete package when it comes to helping your body heal and guide you and your body to better health. As if that isnt enough, she is also very caring and warm in her approach to understanding your health issues. In short, I cant recommend her enough. You will find in your visit not only an excellent doctor but also a great listener. Im glad I have her in my health corner, so to speak. Youll be glad as well.

I have been coming to Dr. Lim for a little over a month now. I have had previous experiences with other chiropractors, but Dr. Lim has been a much better experience for me. She really takes the time to explain what is misaligned and how she will adjust my spine at every appointment (compared to other chiropractors who just gave a description during the initial assessment and any explanations during appointments were only about how to position my body for the adjustments themselves). I used to have no movement in my upper back but have seen great changes in my posture and how I feel day-to-day. The initial pain I came here for is all but gone, but aside from that, so much more has been improved along my spine that was long overdue. I also like that she gives me exercises to do between appointments, as well as pays extra attention to trouble spots by working to tear the muscle (necessary for a proper adjustment on a messed up back). A previous chiropractor would just put on hot patches before adjusting me in the trouble areas, and sometimes it worked, but sometimes it didnt. I think the attention Dr. Lim has paid to those areas really gets to the root cause of the problems I had in the first place. Even though she may be young, she is very knowledgeable. She immediately picks up on things that are out of place before I have to tell her and she does an excellent job relaying back the information to me. Lastly, Dr. Lim is very personable. Its easy to talk to her and I feel like I have the type of relationship with her that one usually has with their hairdresser. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an effective chiropractor.

They say big things come in small packages. With Dr. Michelle, they sure do! She tiny but sure can adjust the bejeebus out of you. I had migraine for 3 weeks straight due to improper posture and work related stress. Every little movement caused nausea on top of the pain shooting from my neck up; it was hard to function. I found her thru a mutual friend. My previous chiro is on leave and I was gonna wait but Im glad I didnt. I went in to get treated after an 8-hr shift on a weekday. I love how Dr Michelle worked with my schedule. Im sure other patients also appreciate the fact that we dont have to miss a day of work to get treated. The doc had me do a series of movements to get a visual of my problems and of she went with the adjustments. It felt so good when I slowly felt my bunched up muscles relax. I swear I came out of there almost (85% - 90%) pain free after 3 weeks of chronic pain. I am also nervous about getting my neck adjusted just because of all these horror stories. But Dr Michelles movements are definitive. She knows what shes doing. Ive seen her a few times already and I will continue to since my posture needs some tender loving care. I need it especially with my line of work where I stand all day. BTW, the doc is hawt. Nuffin wrong with a little eye candy while getting treatment, yall.

The Absolute best!!! Backstory: I suffered an injury while playing basketball, which cause sciatica. Being a stubborn young man with a high pain tolerance I fought through until i could fight anymore. I go to the doctors get an MRI and find out i herniated two discs and cannot lift or do anything for that matter until I heal. Months after following the doctors order I feel much better...but something was always off about my body; I thought it would never feel the same again. Until I met Doctor Lim. She has done an amazing job. I couldnt thank her more. Id refer her to anyone who needs chiropractic care. She will work wonders for you. Dr. Lim did a great job making me comfortable and explaining everything to me. She is extremely kind and sweet, she really cares for her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable and even suggests many ways to help prevent common injuries. Ive had two sessions with her and they couldnt ask for better results. My girlfriend has an appointment tomorrow!!! I cant wait!! After this long winded review, if there is one thing i could say about Dr. Lim is that she treats you like that awesome family member you never get to see enough. But when you see him/her, you guys are on the same exact page.
