Conditions We Help
Sciatica
That shooting pain down the leg is a nerve under pressure. Dr. Kim works to take the pressure off at its source.
Sciatica — pain, burning, or numbness that travels from the low back into the hip and leg — happens when a nerve is irritated or compressed. In Dr. Kim's approach, that's usually downstream of vertebrae that have shifted and the compensation your body has built around them. By finding and correcting the cause, the goal is to take pressure off the nerve so the leg can settle.

Yes — specific, low-force adjustments, not forceful twisting.
