As an engineer in silicon valley, I have spent decades either on a computer or traveling overseas for builds, which has taken its toll on my body and my mind: stress, high blood pressure, back pain, hip pain...you name it, I have had it.
I was introduced to Dr Youngsu Lyu two years ago and after his assessment of my overall condition, he knew exactly where to start working and what duration would be needed.

Fantastic experience: Happy and pain free!! Dr Lyu is an experienced professional with deep knowledge about shockwave and laser therapy combination. Glad I found about Five Balance. Economic and effective treatment for plantar fasciitis.
Fantastic experience: Recommended by a work out buddy, I’ve been seeing Dr. Lyu the past few month. I’ve been dealing with neck/nerve pain and tendinitis in my wrists from past training injuries. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided a tailored treatment which remedied my pain (new and old). Great experience and highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic chiropractor! Dr. Lyu works magic. I came to him after a car accident and he really helped my neck and back injuries. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lyu is very knowledgeable and professional chiropractor- he treated my arm pain with messages , laser treatment. I just got serial times treatments my pain decreased greatly and my arm moves more freely . Highly recommend .
Fantastic experience: Wow. Absolutely Amazing! Dr. Lyu is a Godsend I don't know where to start, I had such a wonderful experience today! The reason I went to see a Chiropractor in the first place is due to what feels like SI joint or Saitic nerve lower back pain. I'm severely overweight and everytime I go see a doctor, a Western doctor, it's always the same song and dance, " You need to loose weight. " Really.... Captain Obvious! Irritating. I know that. At anyrate, I've been looking for years to find a doctor that uses more of a "Holistic Approach" incorporating emotional and physical healing together. I now have finally found that, AND some, here with Five Balance Health Care! Pros: - polite and organized scheduling - very clean and inviting office - quality equipment, large comfortable adjustment table - holistic care (mind, body, emotions, energy, nutrition) Cons: - none Dr. Lyu is a delight to work with and a very skilled and authentically caring physician that produces results! I look forward to my next visit!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Five Balance Center. I am very satisfied with the amazing miracle Dr.Youngsu Lyu has done with me. I was in a car accident a couple years ago and since then I started having neck, shoulder and body pain on a daily basis. I was seeing a chiropractor for 2 years to feel better but it never happened. The chiropractor only took more than $5000 from me and never got me to feel better. I found Five Balance center and I decided to give it a try and it was the best decision I ever made. Doctor Youngsu took my neck & shoulder pain away and I am able to sleep better at night. It took me one visit to feel a big difference on my body.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lyu you are my hero. I have suffered under tennis elbow pain for more than 8months and was extremely frustated. You brought me back the happiness I have then playing beachvolleyball. I'm highly recommending Dr Lyu to all my family/friends and everyone else who is in pain. Dr Lyu is extremely experienced and has a very innovative approach to heal you. Dr Lyu please continue with what you are doing and help as many people as possible. BIG THANKS!
Fantastic experience: I got my left ankle hurt during softball play. It’s been in pain for 3 months and not recovered so I came to see Dr. Lyu for treatment. After 2 months treatment, I’m able to run and jump again. As a patient, I see the difference before and after very clearly. Very recommended.
Fantastic experience: I was suffering from my chronic backpain for last several months that I couldn’t even sit. I consulted multiple physicians and finally met Dr Lyu through a referral. Dr Young was very thorough in his diagnosis and helped me understand the root cause of my backpain. Within couple visits of treatment, I could see amazing results. Like others mentioned, he does not crack bones like regular chiro and use advanced medical therapies to relieve pain. Highly recommend Dr Lyu and hope this review helps new patients who are hesitant about taking chiropractic treatment like I did initially. They should definitely give a visit to see the magic!
Fantastic experience: Seeing Dr. Lyu was one of the best decision I’ve made. I do Olympic weightlifting and through out training. I’ve been having hip pain, back tightness and pain. I’ve only seen Dr. Lyu twice and he helped me tremendously. I’m able to get back into training and not have to worry about hurting when doing Squats et. Thank you Dr. Dyu! Friendly environment and CLEAN!
Fantastic experience: After sustaining an arm injury, Dr Lyu, was very caring and tended to my needs. Any persistent pain I had, he made sure to work on. It helped tremendously! I would highly recommend him! Especially because I wanted someone who cared, and he really does care for his patients!
Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Lyu's exceptional care during my pregnancy journey. I started seeing him at 24 weeks, struggling with intense back pain due to the growing belly and added weight. His expertise and patience have been a tremendous relief, helping me manage the pain effectively. Dr. Lyu has an incredible ability to pinpoint the exact source of discomfort. He addressed my shoulder pain, a result of sleeping on my side, with precision and care. His professionalism and kindness shine through, making every session a positive experience. The clinic itself is a testament to his commitment to excellence. Immaculately clean and organized, it creates a calming atmosphere that further enhances the overall healing process. Moreover, booking appointments is incredibly easy, ensuring that the focus remains on your well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lyu to anyone seeking relief from pain, especially expectant mothers like me. His expertise, combined with his genuine care and approachability, sets him apart as a top-notch chiropractor. Thank you, Dr. Lyu, for your outstanding support during this crucial time in my life. I am genuinely grateful for your help.
Fantastic experience: I struggled with my left foot pain,post pandemic. I tried ortho, X-ray and MRI scans. I had consulted at least 3 doctors, nothing helped me until I met Dr Lyu. His treatment are finally giving me my much needed relief. I completely 5 visits so far, and continuing my treatment.
Fantastic experience: Found Dr. Lyu searching for a shock wave therapist for my shoulder on Google...he has the latest technology using different lasers to help managing my pain in my shoulder. He’s also does chiropractic work and has relieved my pain in my back..he does it all and won’t disappoint, I promise he will make u feel better..best I felt in the last 15yrs, so please give it try and see for yourself the results u get..thanks Dr.Lyu, your the best!
Fantastic experience: I have been having serious back pain and shoulder pains ever since I had my two children. I tried various methods to resolve the issues but nothing seemed to really help. But when I was introduced to Dr. Ryu, within few sessions, my pains went away. Ever since then, I have been going to him whenever the chiropractic care is needed. And, have been recommending him to my family and friends. Dr. Ryu does his work with dignity and sincere heart. He promptly answers the request of the appointment. And he constantly tries to strive and improve his work!
Fantastic experience: Chronic problems don't have instant solutions and Dr. Lyu isn't your conventional crack and pop chiropractor. He patiently listens to your problems and takes time to explain and treat the root cause of the problems and is very responsive and considerate. His clinic is super clean and he always enquires about the condition of the patient. Definitely recommend Dr. Lyu for chronic problems.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Dr. Lyu more than 20 times, Dr. Lyu is very professional, sincere, patient, and willing to spend time to communicate with his patients and even share his own experience in recovering his health. Dr. Lyu has used various methods to help my cervical spine, TMJ, and sternocleidomastoid muscles with anti-inflammatory and massage, as well as to help me relax my back, waist, and leg muscles. Dr. Lyu and I even became good friends! He is a very kind doctor. Thanks for his help.
Fantastic experience: I've been going there for a few months and have had really good results!! So far the doctor helped me with muscle tension, neck pain, spine pain, and even my eyes got better after a few laser treatments. It's a small office, but the service is incredible.
Fantastic experience: I have had lower back pain on an off for years. Dr Lyu has been the first Doctor I have seen that has been able to make a significant difference in the pain level after the first visit. Dr Lyu also uses a range of red light therapy as well as laser treatments. I suffered a pretty big gash to my shin. After two treatments with one of the laser treatment systems, the gash had started to heal significantly with minimal scaring how deep the gash was.
Fantastic experience: I have been to many chiropractors for over 20 years to deal with my neck, shoulder, sciatica and lower back. Dr Lyu, is the most unique and effective in terms of understanding and treating the root problems. He is patient to listen and clear in explaining the cause of the problems. His treatment is not rack and crack which is what 99% chiropractors do. His unique combination of traditional Chinese and modern approach with micro adjustments works wonders with minimal damage to my tendons, bones and muscles. Using light therapy also aids in the inflammation and healing process. My treatments actually last longer and feels better than the other chiropractors. For years, my left hip was rotated. No chiropractor ever fixed it. One session with Dr Lyu, hip put into place, pain and problem gone. Now I can stand and touch my toes with no problem before I couldn't. Anyways, see Dr Lyu if you have long-term problems that others have not resolved.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is a very good, professional and skillful chiropractor in San Jose area. We drove almost an hour to see him every time. He spends time to check on my body and listens to my concerns. He did a very thorough job to fix my sore neck and lower back. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Lyu is amazing! My mom had lower back pain and difficult to walk, after the first treatment, she can walk a little bit. And after 2 months treatments, she is a lot better, had no problem to walk at all. Thanks Dr. Lyu! His clinic is very clean and neat, I highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Amazing!! It was my first time at a chiropractor but Dr. Lyu was wonderful and he made me comfortable. Had sudden pain today and I called to see if I would be able to come in, unsure because I know last minute appointments are hard to get. He said he has time to take a look, and now I feel much better!! I am very thankful
Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend, I recently had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Lyu. From start to finish, my experience at their clinic was fantastic. At the time, I could not walk/stand/sit properly because of the pain at my lower back. Thinking it was a lower back issue, I got a referral, but Dr. Lyu gave a right diagnosis that the pain is actually originating from pelvic misalignment. Game changer. Dr. Lyu took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the treatment plan he had in mind. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process, answering all of my questions and providing me with useful information about my condition. The treatment itself was effective, and I could feel a noticeable improvement after each session. Dr. Lyu was very skilled in his adjustments, and I felt completely at ease during the entire process. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Lyu to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate chiropractor. He truly cares about his patients' well-being and has the expertise to help alleviate pain and discomfort in a safe and effective manner. Thank you, Dr. Lyu, for your exceptional care!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is nothing short of a God-send. I cannot stress how important the decision to take a chance with his methods versus electing surgery. Because I am overweight, my sciatic nerve pain will not go away easy and surgery isn't an option. I've been living with a herniated disc for over a year, and I really wanted surgery. My attempts with physical therapy, other chiropractors, and buying useless gimmicks online produced the same result: no alleviation of pain. Because I was defeated (as weight loss takes time), I took a chance at Five Balance and a chance I'll never regret. Dr. Lyu's methods immediately started working wonders for me. I can actually sit down with comfort and sleep better. Thanks, doc for making my life much better.
Fantastic experience: I first met Dr. Ryu to treat my injuries from a car accident. Since then, he has not only fixed my injuries from the accident but also achieved what I thought was impossible after getting treatments from other chiropractors, physical therapists and acupuncturists for years…He has improved the chronic pain I have been suffering from for many years on my upper body. I have seen so many doctors and tried so many treatments for the last twenty years but none of them was able to achieve the improvement Dr. Ryu made in such a short amount of time. Dr. Ryu is incredibly informative and personable, and he is always happy to share and teach his knowledge, and I appreciate that he does not try to sell products and methods. He is also very quick on his response to messages, which is very helpful when scheduling. If you have pain or injury, please go see Dr. Ryu! Thank you Dr. Ryu for your incredible work!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu has not only greatly affected my view on health but also literally changed my life!! I’d been suffering from chronic pain on my neck and back and I’d been to many different chiropractors for years till I was referred to Dr. Lyu. What surprised me most was that he could pin point all the other hidden symptoms that I missed!! Please be aware that he will not crack your back and neck like any other ordinary chiropractors (pretty dangerous method actually!!). Instead, he uses the latest, and the most advanced medical devices to examine his patients thoroughly and fix their issues. I’m forever grateful for his attention to details which surprises me every time I visit him! What makes Dr. Lyu standout is that he genuinely cares for his patients. You can feel how excited and eager he is every time! He truly enjoys fixing his patients! And that makes a huge difference. Thank you Dr. Lyu! I hope more people would be able to meet him at least once to experience how amazing he is!!
Fantastic experience: I fell down a few months ago. I went to Kaser to take an X-ray. They said that I have a fracture on my right humerus bone and recommend a surgery. I really didn't do a surgery. I tried to find someone who can help me. I found Five Balance Health Center. Dr. Lyu helped me to be healed. I took an X-ray yesterday again to check it. It is totally healed. Thank you very much, Dr. Lyu. He is a great doctor.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu has done so much for me in such a short time. For about two years I struggled with nerve damage and circulation problems in my feet. After shockwave and laser therapy my feet are feeling incredible. I’m starting to get my old life back because of the treatments Dr. Lyu has administered. I would recommend him to anyone for any type of pain.
Fantastic experience: I've been suffering from an onset of tinnitus for couple of months and one of my friends has recommended Dr. Ryu to me. His treatment approach was holistic, attempting to reduce the overall inflammation level in my body and treating the ear with laser treatments. After two months, the level of tinnitus has gotten significantly better, being lowered to a manageable level. I don't perceive it as much during the day and the noise is not as irritating even in quiet environments. I hope the condition will get better with further treatments.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lyu takes care of me for over 3 years. I visit Five Balance Health Center every month to get a checkup. He knows what my body needs. He is a great chiropractor. I recommend him for anybody. Thank you very much, Dr Lyu.
Fantastic experience: After seeing 2 chiropractors my attorney referred me to for a neck and back injury I sustained from a car accident, I am thankful to have been finally referred to someone who really wanted to help me get better. Dr. Lyu was the only chiropractor who took the time to thoroughly assess me and to find out where my pain and headaches are coming from. Each visit, he would ask me how I'm feeling and how my pain is. (The first 2 chiropractors I saw whose names I won't mention here have greeted me with, "Go lie on the bed and take a nap while you're attached to this cool gadget" which I didn't even know what it is for!) At Five Balance Health Center, I come out of each session feeling so much better. Dr. Lyu is very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer your questions. An Eastern meets West type of chiropractor, who combines traditional chiropractic techniques with cool lasers that help speed up your recovery. He is kind and professional. Bonus: his clinic is super clean, smells nice and has water and tea you can enjoy after your session.
Fantastic experience: I had a car accident in Fremont. I had neck pain, back pain and hip pain. My leg was tingling also. I couldn't walk properly. My problems are almost gone. I couldn't do my work properly after the car accident but I can do what I want now. I appreciate Dr Lyu. I highly recommend Five Balance Health Center for everyone.
Fantastic experience: Doctor Youngsu was recommended to me by another patient of his, Princess Charlette, who described him as a miracle worker who saved her back from years of pain, who gives incredible advice on nutrition, vitamins and general well-being. I was already happy with my chiropractor, who gave me ease with every adjustment and I went to Five balance with hope that I find another opinion on my recent lower back pain and a history of years of acute ribs subluxation emergencies. Doctor Youngsu in the first session identified where my body was producing discomfort due to all the traumatic events from the past. I couldn’t believe my body was mine when I got up and started “walking around slowly” per Dr’s request - I felt pain free, like I used to 6 months ago and I forgot what that feeling was - to move without pain. I was in shock and tears of disbelief. Every time I am seen, my body is worked on in different ways and I am reacquainted with how my own body is constructed, what I need to do and remember and I am given invaluable advice on what else I can implement in my daily life to keep healing. Doctor Youngsu is someone who has a vision into a human condition and deeper knowledge to guide each individual into their personal well-being. My mom benefited from one session also with clear advice on how to continue to take better care of her self after leaving Five Balance with less pain she came inside with. I highly recommend anyone who has been struggling with any kind of pain and is looking for yet another doctor, adjustment, or pill to give Doc Youngsu a visit. He is a miracle worker indeed.
Fantastic experience: I have been gotten chiropractic treatments because of TMJ disorder. It becomes significantly improved after getting treatments here. In addition, I also got a headache treatment and it was very effective. In detail, I had been suffered from a severe headache for weeks and I told Dr. Lyu about my symptoms. He prescribed me a new treatment, called Brain PBM. Even though I felt a little bit dizziness during & after the treatment, my headache became much better after 1 hr. After 1 day, my headache was all gone.
Fantastic experience: I had a car accident with my wife last year. My attorney referred us to Five Balance Health Center. I had a neck pain and numbness at that time. I don’t have any problems now. I appreciate what you did to me, Dr. Lyu.
Fantastic experience: After suffering from tail bone pain for over a year, I found Dr.Lyu and his treatment has been a game changer. I recommend everyone with tailbone pain to visit his clinic. I feel much much better after a few visits.
Fantastic experience: I had car accident recently over 3 months ago, my daughter new this highly recommended doctor Lyu, my most concern was, my lower back, left leg, shoulder pain kind of dizziness feeling the whole week after my car accident, I was ,so, on tense when I visited the doctor, I was on total chaos condition and the way he start his missions toward his treatments was totally professional laying out his good heeling processes technic, keep talking with me stay calm and relax, now I’m very happy thing’s it’s going it gets better every time I go there I feel much better condition where I was I’m totally bless to find such honor man care about his patient, my treatment still it’s on until I get full recovery.

Fantastic experience: I Highly recommend Dr. Lyu!! I had severe back, neck and shoulder pain from the car accident and the pain was getting worse till I started my treatment at Five Balance Health Center. I had fast recovery and now i feel great! I also got stye one day on my left eye and Dr. Lyu saw it and did a laser treatment on that area and I could see the result right away. I had about 3 months of treatments with Dr. Lyu and every appointment I went, always felt that I'm in good hands. He really do care about his patients health and always give good suggestions about your health.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is a very professional and kind chiropractor! My boyfriend and I got in a car accident at the beginning of summer and he has helped us with our injuries and taught us a few knowledgeable things along the way. Not only has he helped us with our injuries but taught us home remedies and massages for stomach pain too. I highly recommend him if you’re ever in need of a chiropractor. His office is very relaxing and has a lot of cool gadgets to help with back pain stiff neck etc. Thank you Dr. Lyu for your wonderful service :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful chiropractor. I was in an accident and he helped me recover from a broken hand and performed laser therapy on scars to heal them very quickly. He also helped remove any stiffness and soreness my girlfriend and I had from my accident. I will definitely be recommending him to anybody needing a chiropractor in the Bay Area.
Fantastic experience: After a car accident, I started to feel shoulder, neck, spine, hip, ankle pain. So I started getting treatment with Dr. Lyu for a few months and I am now fully recovered. I also had a headache on one side of my head for a long time and Dr. Lyu was also able to treat and fix that completely. Recently, I’ve had knee pain because of my exercise and Dr. Lyu recommended laser treatment that healed it quickly and completely. I am now able to go hiking and do all physical activities thanks to the real specialist, Dr. Lyu.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place and Dr Lyu. I got a lot of pain many places after giving birth, back/shoulder/pelvic/neck etc. After a few visits, I don't feel any right now. I feel so lucky to find Dr Lyu. Right now I still go to Dr Lyu for my engineer neck issues, the treatment is very effective. Based my experience, I also took my mom to Dr Lyu. She got her leg injured while standing up quickly, after a single treatment she doesn't feel anything any more. Besides, Dr Lyu also helped my mom to cure her shoulder pain, which is caused by holding my baby girl for a long time.
Fantastic experience: I had serious back pain and went to a different place for two years until someone recommended Dr. Lyu. Initially, I only hoped that his treatment would be helpful but had no real expectations; however, after my first treatment, I could already feel an improvement in my back. Even Dr. Lyu said that was atypical, but my back pain must’ve been severe to have improved after a single appointment. Since I am 50 years old, I wished for the treatment to be natural without too much pressure on my body. Considerate to the needs of his patients, Dr. Lyu makes it a comfortable experience for me so that I have no reason for concern. Once I convey my points of pain, he is able to find and fix my issues. Though the efficacy of a treatment can vary with the individual, I definitely recommend you try a visit with him! I too started with just a hope for some improvement but have experienced firsthand how my condition has been getting better through his support. I have been a patient with Dr. Lyu consistently for three years and visit more as needed when I have acute pain. Each time, I can feel my pain getting lighter and am satisfied with the care I have received.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is an amazing chiropractor. He helped relieve my shoulder pain through weekly sessions of using his holistic approach to relieve the pain from a shoulder misalignment and impingement. I went to 2 PTs with no success and finally was referred to him from a family. Thank you Dr. Lyu!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lyu is amazing. I had seen a couple of chiropractors over the course of 6 months with no help to my neck and shoulder pain, and Dr. Lyu was able to resolve it all. I continue to see him for maintenance and appreciate his incredibly holistic, modern, expert approach. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!! He is the best chiropractors I’ve ever met. After I had an unfortunate bike accident three months ago, I’ve got back and neck pain and I’ve been fully recovered with his treatment. I’ve been also suffering from sleep bruxism after the accident and Dr.Lyu treated my sleep bruxism with just couple of visits. It was just amazing. He is not just knowledgable and patient, but also he cares his patients a lot and tries to find a life time solution for his patients. I would recommend him to my family and friends!.
