"I am thrilled to help improve her memory so she can live a fuller, happy life!"

— Sunghwan Kim, OMD, LAc

Supporting memory in Alzheimer's care

Dr. Kim's work with an Alzheimer's patient — using acupuncture to help support her memory and quality of life — was featured in the Pacific Sun. It reflects something central to how this clinic practices: no patient is ever "too far along" to deserve care aimed at living more fully.

Memory support is one of several specialties at the clinic, alongside pain management, digestive health, and fatigue — see all services.

"I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr Kim after having trouble with my shoulder/arm. I came in with pain and a tingling sensation shooting down my arm. I went to a chiropractor, and massage which did not help but after only 1 session with Dr. Kim, my pain was nearly gone. It took 3 more sessions for it to completely go away but it's been incredible! The other upside is that he accepts insurance which made this experience that much more affordable. Thank you Dr. Kim!"

"I had a positive experience with Dr Kim. He is a very experienced acupuncturist who helped reduce my chronic lower back pain in 8 sessions. He takes insurance which makes it affordable and convenient. I am currently in the process of being treated to improve my memory. He has extensive experience in this area. I've seen improvement after one week… with another week to go! He is accommodating to my schedule, easy parking and the office is very calm and relaxing. Check it out!"

"Dr. Kim helped our son recover from several ongoing issues. He initially helped heal him of neck and shoulder pain that he had been experiencing for months. Once he felt confident that he had helped him recover from this chronic pain, he then began treating him for his ongoing headaches. After a few sessions, concentrated in a short period of time, I am so very happy to say that my son's headaches are finally better. Dr. Kim is knowledgeable, personable, and we are so thankful for the great results."
