Body Balance Acupuncture – Lincoln Jose Fraga

Overall this is My 2^nd time doing acupuncture and I love it. 1^st was with this friend of ours, With Dr Fraga is my 2^nd time. He is very attentive listens very carefully to understand your problem. I haven’t visit the clinic because He cured me, I had a terrible pain in my neck, shoulder that was causing me headaches and this horrible tension. I am hoping I don’t get that pain again, if I do, I will definitely go with him again. I recommend it to everyone, specially because his schedule is great. Once again Dr Fraga is very receptive to my health issues and treated accordingly without any judgment. The place is soothing, calm, and serene. I just love the treatments there. The results of the treatment was positive Dr Fraga is kind, caring and a compassionate people !!

I chose Body Balance based on #1 reviews and #2 Location. I have not been disappointed. Lincoln is very personable yet professional. I am happy with the results I am experiencing with his treatments. I have been seeing him weekly for about a month and look forward to my sessions.

just make a long story short, Ive been active and started living very young at the age of 16. Lifitng iron was a complete therapy for me, it progressed to heavier and heavier lifting, lifting 375 – 400 pounds deadlift. I trained MMA for 3 years and change, did crossfit for a year and competed for a local crossfit competition, all thoe years with minimial stretching. Thumbs down.
all those years, my lower back had to compensate for all the work load from the tightness of my glutes and hams and thats what lead to my chronic lower back spasms. The worst feeling anyone can suffer from.
Years and years of PT, xrays and muscle relaxers. And I finally gave up and just suddenly tried acupuncture. WOW. my life has changed! I tried 3 visits last time to a diff place and my back started acting 80 years old again.
Found this page on Unilocal,and wow mr. Lincoln coulnd’t have been more nicer and calm, he’s very knowledgable and felt not only the affected side is getting tight but also the other side is getting tighter as well to compensate for all the stress i endure from lifting and acitivities.
Room and office was very clean, neat and very calming. He played waves on the background and I just straight drooling passed out, tranced out in back therapy cloud 9. I felt great afterwards, and slept for 15 hours that night! Woke up so great & can feel all my back muscles are not only loose but also fuller and awake. I will keep coming back. A true GEM.

Love the place. First time getting acupuncture treatment for bell’s palsy. Its been a month bow and so far I’ve seen great results. Dr. Fraga is very professional any questions you have or even concerns about acupuncture he will answer. The environment is very peaceful and clean. Couldn’t have picked for a better place. I would recommend him and give him two thumbs up.

Lincoln’s the best. He healed my right shoulder 5 years ago (frozen shoulder) in 7 months – now is healing the left one. Results are amazing – so nice to be able to do things again. I didn’t want to go back to him because he moved to Lakewood from Whittier, where I live – but he’s definitely worth the drive.

I was skeptical if acupuncture would work for me. I am very sensitive and suffer from many chronic conditions. (Fibro) Lincoln listened. It actually helped. A lot.
I have been back after an injury. He always gets me in right away and remembers my conditions. He is very caring and gentle. I doubt I would trust anyone else.
So listen up you fibromyalgia people. Acupuncture can work! It helped me. And nothing else did.
Lincoln is a great and easy to talk to. I found him here, based on his Unilocal reviews! I was not disappointed.

I think Love Lincoln and think he the best! Me and my family have been seeing him for years. I highly reccomend him to everyone. I am a massage therapist and when massage wasnt working for me I gave him a try and my very first accuputure treatment was more relaxing then any massage that I had received. I had a muscle that was pushing against a nerve, that only accupuncture was able to release it and leave me pain free! Lincoln loves his profession and his patients and it shows by his healing.

I love this place!
As soon as you enter the place it has a sense of «well-​being». You feel better just walking in! The office has three treatment rooms which are very relaxing and warm. Everything looks clean and set up to make you feel comfortable. The office has very quaint decorations so it doesn’t feel too medical. I am a cash patient so it’s very important to me that the place I choose makes me as comfortable as possible.
Ok so, about the treatment. I came in one week ago to get my some acupuncture on my right shoulder as I have tendonitis. It flares up often and I’ve been trying all sorts of things. I want to get away from taking oral meds so I decided to give this service a try. Initially I was super scared because I thought that the needles were going to dig into to my skin just like when you get nerve testing done. NOW that hurts. Anyway, my experience was painless, I didn’t feel anything when the needles went in. Lincoln was fast and I had a treatment for 30 minutes. Once I was done my arm felt heavy which I hear is normal. The next day, I had no pain at all! I am a believer now!
I also purchased some herbal pills to support the trauma I have on my arm. They work fine. They don’t make me nauseous and I can’t even taste them.
So, I booked my husband and I for lower back treatment, the following week.
About the lower back experience.
I was so scared… I had acupuncture once with an old school chiropractor who really traumatized me. It was the most painful experience that I never went back again. I truly had believed that this is how acupuncture worked. That it was supposed to hurt when the needles dug in. Anyhow, Lincoln assured me that this was not the case.
I had my second treatment yesterday. I had my sciatica treated with acupuncture. The experience was smooth just like the tendonitis on my arm. I have no pain today just a little tightness but that is normal for me. Since I have chronic lower back pain, I always have either a flare up or constant aching. I don’t feel anything today. Great job Lincoln, I will be scheduling regular visits from here on!!!
I am a believer now!!!

I had my first experience with acupuncture yesterday. I have some acute back pain. My wife had such a great experience that she booked an appointment for me. I thought the environment was very professional and indicative of chinese medicine practices.
It’s a small practice but can treat three patients at one time. It’s very private and intimate. The receptionist was very nice and helpful. I had a 30-​minute treatment on my lower back mostly. I didn’t have any pain with the needles. In fact, I couldn’t feel any of the needles going in which is the scariest part for most people.
After the treatment, some muscle lotion was applied which made it feel soothing. I would definitely come back when my schedule permits it. I work long hours during the week so maybe one weekend a month would help for treatment. Just a thought.
I definitely recommend this office if you want personal attention to your affected area! Oh also, I’m a cash patient as well so the prices were definitely reasonable. I believe insurance is accepted here too. Good luck!

Entering the practice I was greeted with friendly and welcoming reception… who also understood I was in a world of pain… Doc. was able to squeeze me in even though I was Very late (again in pain) I have to say I receive first class service, and I have to agree with Carl S. about Doc. Fraga’s demeanor, I felt as though all my questions were answered, I was taken seriously, and Im pretty straight forward so felt at ease with his responses. After the treatment my pain dissipated ten-​fold, still a hint however not as bad as when I left hospital, meds were wearing off and still strong pain… this IS an effective alternative to pain for me and I would for sure say give it a try…

Having had the first truly bad back spasm of my life, I went to Lincoln on a referral from a friend. Never having had Acupuncture before (and not really knowing what to think about it), I went because the friend that referred Lincoln is not only extremely afraid of needles (much more so than I am), but she’s pretty skeptical when it comes to holistic things in general. She was adamant that her back pain disappeared completely after just two sessions with Lincoln, so I knew I had to give it a try.
I laid face-​down on a massage-​style table and he proceeded to stick my back, legs and around my ankles with the needles, which are really more like fine fibers or hairs. He told me what he was doing and where each needle was going before he did it, and really put me at ease by talking to me and telling me all about the procedure. After the needles were inserted he placed some warm towels on my back, put some heat lamps near the Acupuncture sites, turned down the lights and left the room for about a half-​hour.
Upon his return I was extremely relaxed and remarkably (though not completely) pain free. However, after another two appointments and some chiropractic work as well (done in the Uptown Wellness Center in Whittier where he’s based), my back is now as strong as ever. I would most definitely recommend Lincoln, especially if you’ve never done Acupuncture before and are somewhat skittish about it.
