I probably should have written this review a long time ago because Tali was actually the first person I started working with on this journey. I’m a retired veteran and came to Tali through VA Community Care after years of wear and tear had left me with significant mobility issues and a body that had learned to compensate around them. My goal has never been simply to chase pain—I want to restore my gait, mobility, and function as much as possible. Calling Tali an acupuncturist almost feels like an understatement. I jokingly think of him as an “acu-guru” because his understanding of anatomy, movement, and how different parts of the body interact goes far beyond simply placing needles and sending you on your way. Tali has approached my treatment almost like he’s helping me “reprogram” how my body moves. Just as importantly, he doesn’t want the progress to exist only while I’m on his table. He teaches me safe mobility techniques I can use at home to reinforce what we’re accomplishing and hold onto those improvements between visits. That has been incredibly valuable to me. I’ve since added massage and chiropractic care through the VA as well, and I believe the combination is helping me make real progress. I can’t honestly assign every improvement to one treatment, but acupuncture with Tali is where this process started. He helped lay the foundation for understanding my body differently and getting it moving in the right direction. I also have to mention Amy at the front desk. She is consistently pleasant, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. There’s almost this feeling that she already knows Tali is about to improve your life and she can’t wait for you to experience it. I’m still working toward my ultimate goal of restoring my gait and mobility, but I’m considerably further along than when I started. Tali isn’t someone who simply performs a service on me—he’s become an important part of the team helping me get my body back. For my fellow veterans using VA Community Care, or anyone considering acupuncture but unsure what it can actually do for you, this is a place I would confidently recommend.

Tali Acupuncture in Menifee is the best Acupuncture location; their staff are true professional and they took great care of me, it’s was my first time trying acupuncture for my chronic back pain over many years. I’m starting to feel the difference as my sessions are progressing; I would definitely recommend Tali Acupuncture to all my families and friends. This also helps me with my plantar fasciitis and sciatica pain.

My first time having acupuncture. I just had both my knees replaced. Went in for pain management. I'm now a firm believer in it. Been a total game changer. Dr. Tali Chang really knows his stuff. Amy is really friendly. Wonder place to do business with. Would highly recommend.

I'm honestly not sure where to begin. I'll try to be brief but if I go long, I apologize in advance. I've been suffering from low back and sciatica pain for almost the last 9 years. Originally pain would come / go, and back then it was maybe (5 out of 10) pain max. Then in the last 2 years it has become almost unbearable. (Dark thoughts unbearable). Iykyk. I lived at a 5-6 daily with sometimes constant weeks of 10+ pain. I'd tried the PT, I tried the Chiro, I tried the laundry list of Dr prescribed Meds (ie. Gabapentin, Meloxicam, too many others to list), I tried the shots in my spine, I was stretching for 45+ mins after waking and before bed, but I was not getting constant relief. I read a post one night in my neighborhoods FB group about Tali Acupuncture and hopeful but defeated I reached out to schedule an appointment (through the VA, forgot to mention I'm a disabled Vet). The process to get an appointment was smooth and I was scheduled. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I was in 9+ pain during my first visit. Amy was welcoming and greeted me as family when I checked in. I did my best to explain my pain history, but 9+ pain makes you erratic at times. Dr. Tali patiently listened and I truly felt like he heard me. After Day one I felt no real relief, but I was committed to this new process. Fast forward to 6-weeks of appointments later, and I honestly feel my smile coming back. I've experienced multiple days of 2-3 out of 10 pain. I'm not magically healed, but I'm grateful to feel hopeful again. If you are like me and have tried everything you can think of with no relief, I recommend you run, not walk, to try Dr. Tali's pain relief methods. I truly hope you are able to find relief.

I highly recommend Tali Acupuncture! I have been struggling with pain from lateral epicondylitis for the past 3 years and have gone through countless physical therapy sessions and acupuncture treatments with little relief. Dr. Tali has been the only practitioner who truly helped me and made a significant difference in my pain and recovery. She is knowledgeable, caring, and really takes the time to understand your condition and provide the best treatment possible. I’m so grateful for the care I received and would absolutely recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic pain or looking for acupuncture treatment.
