Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint function and reduce pain through manual spinal manipulation. This treatment alleviates pressure on joints, improves nerve function, and addresses conditions like back pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Our certified practitioners use precise techniques to ensure proper alignment, enhancing overall body performance without surgical intervention.
Physical Therapy
Customized physical therapy programs focus on restoring mobility and reducing chronic pain through targeted exercises and manual techniques. Our licensed therapists address post-operative recovery, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based methods. Treatments include therapeutic exercise, electrical stimulation, and posture correction to improve strength and flexibility for long-term wellness.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern care to treat chronic pain, stress, and inflammation. Thin needles stimulate natural healing processes, targeting specific points to relieve conditions like migraines, arthritis, and sports injuries. This non-invasive therapy complements chiropractic adjustments, enhancing overall treatment effectiveness through holistic pain management.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-thermal treatment effectively addresses acute and chronic pain from conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries. Sessions involve targeted application of handheld devices, promoting cellular regeneration without surgery or medication for faster recovery.
Post-Op Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation programs focus on restoring function after surgery through structured exercise and manual therapy. Our team coordinates care with surgeons to ensure safe recovery from procedures involving joints, spine, or soft tissues. Treatments emphasize gradual strength building, range-of-motion improvement, and pain management to optimize surgical outcomes.

Report
Based on a referral from a satisfied patient, I went here for help with back and neck issues. I will start with the positive, which is the treatments were effective after a couple of weeks and I feel better, for which I'm thankful. However, the various treatments were thrown at me with very little explanation or choice, and there was one I did not like. I had to forcefully express this several times to the therapist, who finally backed off (and I healed without it).
I got the feeling that all the different options (Chiro, acupuncture, electric stimulation, etc) can each be billed out and therefore did not feel an individualized program was designed for me. By the way, I had ongoing therapy for a similar condition about 10 years ago elsewhere (where I was living at the time) so I'm not new to this. And I had already started some of the stretches on my own. Also, there are many therapists and you don't always get the same one. 2 of them had different approaches, so that was confusing. And one, who I saw several times, actually forgot what I was there for. Had this condition been more severe than it was, I would have left this practice and sought help elsewhere.

Dr. Kim is the best there is. This is a man who works 12-hour days, 6 days a week and manages to raise a family. He is the most knowledgeable person in his field and is always kind, considerate and empathetic. You are in good hands with this man.

Dr Kim is excellent at what he does! You will feel so much better! I received a very stimulating heat massage done by a special kind of therapeutic electric pad. Afterwards Dr Kim himself aligned my spine and restored the range of motion I did not have before. Don't hesitate!

Came in couple weeks ago with moderate to severe neck/back/left arm pain where it left me unable to do my daily chores. After few visits, Dr. Kim and his staff were able to take away my pain and now I am back to fully living my life! Treatments I was given were neck decompressions, deep massage, and some home exercises to help me with recovery. I definitely recommend this Chiropractor, and everyone is super friendly which made my experience even better. Thank You!

Dr. Kim is the best doctor! I've been dealing with shoulder and neck pain for a long period of time so I finally decided to go see Dr. Kim. Before going to see Dr. Kim, I contemplated getting surgery but after several sessions with him, I didn't have to get surgery. He has magical hands and was able to adjust me to complete health and now I am pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for all your chiropractic needs!
