Approximately seven years ago I sustained what appeared to be a pinched nerve injury in my shoulder. Coworkers of mine recommended that I try acupuncture to treat the recurring problem and pain. I was very nervous about it, because I have always been very afraid of needles.

Although I was hesitant and fearful, Dr. Kim was very patient, understanding and kind. She is very easy to talk to and is genuinely concerned about your well-being in all aspects of your life.

In addition, she always goes the extra mile to ensure your session is pleasant and effective. Because of this, I have continued being her patient for all these years and would recommend her top notch services to anyone.

Whenever I have pains on my back and shoulder, I visit this clinic. I have been to another acupuncture clinic in NYC, but the feeling after getting acupuncture was quite different and disappointing compared to this place.

Since then, I have been coming to this clinic despite the long distance. My wife and I took their herbal medicine twice, those worked very well to us. They don’t force their treatments to patients. When I was suffering from severe coughing, Dr. Jin suggested me to go to regular clinics for faster recovery.

I had a car accident unexpectedly. When I took X-rays, there were no bone fractures. However, I had serious neck, lower back, and knee pains. Moreover, I had really bad bruises on my both legs and every night I had to put on ice packs for my swelling leg and had sleeping problems.

Before I found this clinic, I went to see a physical therapist and chiropractor for a month but I did not find any relief from the pain or bruises. However, Mr. Jin’s magical hands helped me gain full recovery from pains, bruises, and sleeping problems.

It is a place I would like to strongly recommend to people who are unable to recover from their illnesses or pains through western medical treatment.

My daughter just turned one when I visited them at first and I had these “unexplained pains” in my body.

At first, I thought my herniated disc and sciatica pains became worse due to child care. However, the pains that I had were a lot different than “my usual pains.” I felt coldness from every joint with aches along with heel pain. They were so bad that I would wake up from sleep and had to take pain medicine.

I took herbal medicine for little over a month and had multiple acupuncture sessions. I was little skeptical about it at first and so was my husband, too. After two months into treatment, I have noticed that all the symptoms that I had disappeared gradually. I was so amazed.

My husband who hates needle so much had an acupuncture treatment for his back pain and took herbal medicine for his horrible flu (this was first time I ever have been seen him this much sick). He became so much better and wouldn’t stop talking about it!!!!

Nayoung S.

I had shoulder and ankle pain from playing basketball since I was in high school, but it never felt the same when I visited other acupuncture clinics for treatments.

However, after treatments from Mr. Jin, I am completely healed and able to participate in wild activities again. The treatments were very simple but very effective and gradually reduced pain.

Young J. C.

I am a full-time musician, teacher and all around active person. I work out every day and started to have problems with my right shoulder which caused me to have pain after exercising and left me unable to sleep comfortable at night.

After treatment from Mr. Jin, my mobility and strength has increased and the pain has decreased. I can sleep all night without waking up to switch positions.

I look forward to my acupuncture appointments. They are relaxing and comfortable. It’s not scary at all!

Dave C.

I am extremely grateful to both Doctor Jin and Doctor Kim for what they have done for my lower back. I came to them about 10 years ago with severe lower back pain, so bad that I could not get out of bed in the mornings. They had my situation taken care of in a matter of weeks. Amazing! Don’t know how to thank them enough.

Previous to going to Acupuncture & Herb Clinic, I have visited chiropractors and physical therapists for about 10 years… What a waste of valuable time… Not only did I lose time and money, but chiropractors and physical therapists made my condition worse. Believe me, I was patient, I had to be… I needed to be as healthy as possible, I was only in my mid 20′s.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Kim since October 2011 for a herniated disc. I was feeling numbness in my legs, I went to several doctors and they recommended an MRI. The diagnosis was a herniated disc, which was causing the numbness. The treatment would have been injections in my spine.

However, I was so fortunate that a colleague heard my story and recommended Dr. Kim’s practice of Acupuncture & Herb Clinic to me. I visit Dr. Kim twice a week which keeps my body in check and without pain, but I may visit her as often as I feel necessary.

The acupuncture treatments have changed my life. The treatments help with not only back pain but also a variety of illnesses and pain in other areas of the body. I can continue to dance, exercise and complete my everyday activities without pain.

Linda L.

I had surgery a few months ago, which left me with debilitating abdominal pain. After many visits to my surgeon, he could not understand or figure out what the problem was. After many tests which turned up negative, I decided to pursue acupuncture.

Never having tried it before, I was referred to Dr. Kim. In our initial meeting, she spent much time with me in understanding my current health condition, my surgery and what may be causing my pain. I immediately starting seeing Dr. Kim three times a week for several months. With every visit, I started to feel better and better.

Maggie G.

I limped into Acupuncture & Herb Clinic 6 weeks ago with back pain from a bulging disc. This pain went on for the last 14 months of my life and no doctor or physical therapist has been able to help me.

I was at the point of giving in and accepting back pain was going to be a part of my everyday life and prevent me from having an active lifestyle.

After 6 weeks of sessions with Kim I am almost totally out of pain. For the first time in 14 months I can sleep on my back without pain and mostly walk without having a back spasm.

Ann A.

Dr. Kim has given me a program of acupuncture and herbal supplement that provide my body the opportunity to rejuvenate itself quickly and efficiently.

I have come to Dr. Kim with plenty of chronic knee and back ailments in the past. She has a great understanding of what is required in the short and long term to ensure my body and energy are correct.

While Dr. Kim is not my first experience with acupuncture, she is the first to make me feel so confident with the instant results that I feel after every session.

Derick S.

I was dealing with serious neck, shoulder and back aches.

After just 3 sessions I feel a significant difference in my neck and shoulder area as well as an overall change in my mood and energy.

Natasha S.

I’ve been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, and she helped me with the treatments.

I also tried to get pregnant, which she also helped me with. During pregnancy as well!

After delivery she was helping me with recovery. I had terrible body pain and baby blue syndrome.

Yustitia S.

I have already seen a physician, a rheumatologist, a hand specialist and an orthopedist over the last year and three months and I have had plenty of blood work done that showed nothing. I even had a surgery on one of my fingers and it did not help.

Dr. Kim was able to reduce inflammation in my fingers. She was able to alleviate pain in my hands so I can accomplish everyday tasks easier and better than before.

She also helped me to get back range of motion in my fingers which was limited due to my hand problems.

Larisa L.

I started going for acupuncture and my world changed. Acupuncture eased my pain and helped me become a stronger and happier person.

The acupuncture process helps relax my body and brings me peace of mind.

Prior to starting to acupuncture, I’d wake up each morning scared to open my eyes and move because I wasn’t sure whether or not the pain was going to ruin my day. Now I can wake up each day feeling positive that I have the strength to do all the activities I love most.

Acupuncture has really helped me live an active, pain free life. I highly recommend it!

Annie L.

I was in a car accident where I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, insomnia, and a lack of overall energy. I was emotionally drained.

After only the first session I noticed a big difference I walked out feeling energetic and happy about my future. I felt like a new woman! I felt better than I did before the accident it was a whole new me.

I also noticed a whole change in attitude from negative thinking to more positive. It even improved my love life!

Kristina P.

I am engaged in a highly stressful occupation and I have found that regular acupuncture treatments substantially reduce and frequently eliminate the stress my body feels.

In fact, I look forward to my treatments and often fall asleep during them.

Marc F.

After two treatments, my pain was markedly reduced. After one month of treatment, I have now been pain free for over a year.

In addition, I now find that using acupuncture as a preventive treatment measure has markedly improved my quality of life physically as well as mentally.

I believe I experience fewer negative effects from stress as well.
