Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint function and reduce pain through manual spinal manipulation. This treatment improves nerve function and alleviates conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Our certified practitioners use gentle techniques tailored to individual patient needs.
Physical Therapy
Customized physical therapy programs address musculoskeletal injuries and post-operative recovery. Our licensed therapists employ therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and advanced equipment to restore mobility, strengthen muscles, and prevent future injuries through personalized rehabilitation plans.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments stimulate natural healing by inserting fine needles at strategic body points. This ancient practice effectively manages chronic pain, reduces stress, and improves circulation while complementing chiropractic care for enhanced treatment outcomes in a holistic framework.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses acute/chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and arthritis while promoting cellular regeneration without surgical intervention or medication dependency.
Post-Op Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation programs combine manual therapy and progressive exercises to restore function after surgery. Our team coordinates care with surgeons to optimize recovery timelines, minimize complications, and safely rebuild strength and mobility for orthopedic and spinal procedures.

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!
