Our Story
In Korea's history, royal physicians held one of the highest honors in the kingdom. They served the king and royal family through the healing traditions of acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Becoming a royal physician required far more than medical expertise. They were chosen for their exceptional skill, wisdom, integrity, humility, and unwavering dedication to their patients.
Entrusted with the king's health, they practiced with the highest standards of precision, compassion, and responsibility. Their commitment to excellence created a lasting legacy in Korean medicine.
Today, I am honored to carry that tradition forward at King's Doctor Acupuncture. Guided by the same values of integrity, compassion, and personalized care, I strive to help each patient find not only relief from pain, but also renewed balance, lasting wellness, and true healing.
The Juheng Acupuncture Technique
A royal tradition of holistic, root-cause healing
At King's Doctor Acupuncture, you will experience the Juheng Acupuncture Technique, a tradition rooted in thousands of years of Korean medicine.
Passed down from master to apprentice, Juheng acupuncture was the primary treatment method used by the royal physicians of Korea's imperial palace during the Koryeo Dynasty.
Today, this time-honored approach is used at King's Doctor Acupuncture to address the root cause of chronic pain and restore whole-body balance.
Rather than treating only the area of pain, Juheng acupuncture focuses on the body's underlying constitutional imbalances.
Using precise stimulation of specialized acupuncture points along the 12 primary meridians, this method helps regulate the body's natural healing processes, promoting lasting relief and improved overall health.
We at King's Doctor Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine have an expertise in treating the patients with following medical conditions:
1. Musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, neck pain, upper and lower back pain, knee pain, muscle pain and weakness, ankle sprain and sciatica.
2. Neurological conditions like headache, migraines, postoperative pain and stroke rehabilitation.
3. Gynecological conditions such as menstrual pain, perimenopausal disorder, infertility.
4. Respiratory problems including allergic rhinitis, bronchitis and asthma.
5. Emotional conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, nervousness, neurosis.
6. Digestive problems like gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.
7. Dermatological such as atopic dermatitis and acne.
8. And other health issues such as irritable bladder, gout and male infertility.

I have been dealing with chronic migraines for 33 years. I've done it all: prescribed meds, massage and chiropractic therapies, botox injections, occipital nerve blocks and countless trips to the ER. All provided temporary relief but the daily pain was still there. Kaiser referred me to King's Acupuncture in March. My first appointment was March 19th. I immediately felt the pressure released from my entire brain when the needles were inserted.
I've had 3 treatments so far and only ONE migraine day, April 5th. For the first time in my life....I feel normal and pain free. Thank you King's Acupuncture for giving me my life back.
