Meet Dr. Kim
Dr. S. Kim is a licensed acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (L.Ac., DAOM) practicing in Ontario, California. For many years, his work has focused on chronic pain, sports injuries, and Workers' Comp cases using a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and movement-based assessment.
Approach
Pain rarely lives where you feel it. A patient with knee pain often has a hip problem. A “bad back” is usually a movement problem disguised as a pain problem. Dr. Kim's approach blends traditional East Asian medicine with modern movement science — frameworks like Janda's muscle imbalance theory and structured movement screening — to identify why the pain keeps coming back, not just where it hurts today.
