Back Pain & Stiffness
Most back pain isn't where the problem started. It's where your body is compensating, and Dr. Kim looks for the actual cause.
Whether your back aches first thing in the morning, locks up after sitting, or never fully settled after an old injury, the pain you feel is often the body compensating for a vertebra that has shifted forward. Dr. Kim's approach finds and corrects that cause, then releases the adhesions keeping your body stuck, so your back can unwind instead of just being managed.
Sound familiar?
- Aching or stiffness that returns no matter what you try
- A back that locks up after sitting or in the morning
- Pain lingering from an old injury
- Temporary relief from other care that never holds
How Dr. Kim helps
- A structural exam and X-rays so you can see what's really going on
- Correcting forward vertebrae the body can't fix itself
- Releasing adhesions so the body can unwind
- Specific, corrective care with an actual end point
Treating the cause, not just the symptom
The place where you feel the symptom is frequently a compensation for a problem somewhere else along the spine. Dr. Kim’s job is to find the vertebra that’s actually forward, bring it back, and release what’s keeping your body stuck.

Questions
Back Pain & Stiffness: Frequently Asked
Why does my back pain keep coming back?
Because if care only treats where it hurts, the underlying cause is still there. That cause is often a vertebra shifted forward and the compensation your body has built around it. Dr. Kim's approach finds and corrects that cause so relief can last.
Can you help long-standing back problems?
Often, yes, though it depends on your body. Start with a consultation and exam so Dr. Kim can look honestly at whether she can help.
Will I need care forever?
No. With Dr. Kim's work there is an end to the corrective care.
Is my lower back pain actually coming from my lower back?
Not always, and that's the key. The place where you feel the symptom is often where your body is compensating for a vertebra shifted forward somewhere else. Dr. Kim works with your whole structure to correct what's really driving the pain instead of just chasing the symptom.
I've tried physical therapy and massage with no lasting relief. What's different here?
Those approaches can feel good but often work on the compensation rather than the cause. Dr. Kim's focus is finding the forward vertebra the body can't pull back on its own and releasing the adhesions keeping you stuck. She'll look honestly at your case and tell you whether her approach is likely to help.
Is chiropractic safe for back pain if I'm older or have a sensitive spine?
For most people, yes. Dr. Kim's care is specific and individualized, and she takes a careful look at your back before any correction. One exception: she does not take care of people with osteoporosis.
What does it cost to get my back pain looked at?
It's $29 with the new patient special, which includes the consultation, exam, X-rays, and report of findings.
