Korean medicine · Koreatown
Pain is a signal. We look for the cause.
Acupuncture, herbal medicine and chuna therapy for back and neck pain, digestion, sleep and postpartum recovery. Every patient begins with a pulse reading and a conversation.
The doctor
Dr. Junghoon Lee, KMD, PhD Kyung Hee University, California-licensed acupuncturist
Twelve years of practice in Gangnam, Seoul, and nine here in Los Angeles. As in Korea, the pulse reading and the conversation come first. A first visit takes forty minutes.
Our herbs pass both Korean and US testing standards. Every prescription is individual, decocted in-house and vacuum-packed.
Many patients come alongside Western care. Bring your medications and diagnoses and we'll coordinate safely.
