Services
Korean Hand Acupuncture
This technique stimulates corresponding points on the hands to balance the body's energy. Nerve endings transmit signals to the brain, addressing issues like sleeping problems, lethargy, and hormonal imbalances. Regular sessions improve circulation and reduce stress-related tension through targeted needle placement.
Body Acupuncture
Traditional needle placement targets pain management and circulation improvement. Effective for skin conditions and joint pain, this method activates the body's natural healing processes. By stimulating specific points, it reduces inflammation and promotes metabolic balance, addressing both localized discomfort and systemic imbalances.
Cupping Therapy
Using negative pressure to enhance blood circulation, this therapy reduces muscle tension and inflammation. Cupping marks indicate areas needing improved circulation, with repeated treatments promoting detoxification. The technique addresses chronic pain in shoulders, hips, and knees while supporting post-surgical recovery and stress-related conditions.

Questions
What conditions respond well to acupuncture?
Acupuncture effectively treats pain from poor posture, joint issues, stress-related tension, and circulation problems. It also helps with sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, and post-surgical recovery.
How often should I schedule treatments?
For gradual improvement, weekly or biweekly sessions are recommended. Chronic conditions typically require at least four sessions over a month to assess effectiveness.
Is cupping therapy painful?
Cupping uses gentle suction to improve circulation. While marks may appear, the process itself should not be painful and often provides immediate relief from muscle tension.
Do you accept insurance?
We provide forms to check insurance eligibility for acupuncture benefits. Payment depends on your specific policy terms and coverage limitations.
What makes your approach unique?
We combine traditional acupuncture techniques with evidence-based movement therapy, focusing on personalized treatment plans that address both symptoms and underlying imbalances.

Dr. Seo is great and her prices are very affordable. Her location is super convenient with metered parking all around. She is very organized and submits for insurance reimbursement immediately after an appointment. When I had overpaid because my deductible had been met, she immediately calculated the difference and refunded me. Scheduling online is simple and easy and she is very responsive to emails and texts. Aside from just being an administrative whiz, she has a calm and caring bedside manner that puts you at ease. You feel that she is really concerned with your health, healing, and comfort

As a new client, I am very impressed by Dr Seo. She listens to concerns and adjusts her treatment accordingly. She is very gentle even using electrical stimulation. The office is very clean with plenty of street parking.

Everything was exceptional, from the check in process to the treatment to the check out.
Hands down the best physio clinic I have been to. First time getting treated by Jung and it will definitely not be my last.

Dr. Seo is a miracle worker! I had pain in my back from a bunionectomy and diagnosed (Kaiser) hip arthritis which together threw off my heel toe alignment whenever I walked. My right foot would point slightly to the right and my left foot pointed straight ahead, this imbalance caused me tremendous pain in my lower back (I thought it was my mattress) for more than 15 years. 10 years of Physical therapy at Kaiser Permanente relieved the pain for maybe two or three days then back to the same cycle of treatment. I had the same outcome with the many acupuncturists I'd seen before Dr. Seo. Along comes
