Conditions We Help
Work Injury
Whether it was one bad lift or years of strain, Dr. Kim works to correct what the job left behind, not just quiet the symptom.
Work injuries come in two forms: the sudden one, from a lift, a slip, or a fall, and the slow one, from years of repetitive strain or poor ergonomics. Either way, the result is often vertebrae shifted out of position and a body stuck compensating. Dr. Kim's approach finds and corrects those shifts and releases the adhesions an injury leaves behind, so you're not just managing pain to get through the workday.

Questions
Work Injury: Frequently Asked
Can you help an injury from repetitive strain?
Often, yes. Repetitive strain can shift vertebrae and lock the body into compensation over time. Dr. Kim works to correct that structure rather than just easing the symptom. A consultation and exam will tell you whether her approach fits.
Do you handle workers' comp paperwork?
Dr. Kim doesn't bill insurance directly, but she provides superbills and a clear report of findings you can submit. Ask the office about your specific situation.
How do I start?

My pain comes back every time I return to the job. Why?
Temporary relief that never holds usually means the underlying structure was never corrected. An injury can shift vertebrae forward and lock the body into compensation, so the strain returns the moment you're back at work. Dr. Kim works to correct that cause rather than just quieting the symptom.
Is the care safe if I'm still sore from the injury?
Yes. Dr. Kim uses specific, precise techniques suited to a body that's already tender. She examines carefully first and tells you honestly whether her approach is a fit for your injury.
Will I have documentation for my records?
Yes. Dr. Kim provides a clear report of findings and superbills you can submit yourself, since she doesn't bill insurance directly. For questions about your particular claim, the office can talk through your specific situation.
How long until I might feel relief from a work strain?
It depends on how the injury happened and how long the body has been compensating, so there's no fixed timeline. Dr. Kim will give you an honest sense of what to expect at your report of findings, and a care plan is discussed by the third visit.
