Services
Acupuncture
Precision acupuncture treatments target pain and systemic imbalances by stimulating key meridian points. Our technique activates the body's self-healing mechanisms to reduce inflammation and improve nerve function. Patients receive customized protocols combining traditional Chinese and Korean methods for optimal symptom relief and long-term wellness.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations support cellular healing and physiological balance without synthetic interventions. Our practitioners select from centuries-tested ingredient combinations to address specific conditions while enhancing overall vitality. Each prescription aligns with individual constitutional needs identified through Korean Sasang diagnostics.
Dietary Adjustment
Body-type-specific nutrition plans optimize metabolic function and reduce disease triggers. We identify food sensitivities through constitutional analysis rather than conventional allergy testing. This approach helps patients make sustainable dietary choices that support their unique physiological requirements for long-term health improvements.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release muscular tension and improve circulation in affected areas. This technique complements acupuncture by addressing deep tissue restrictions that contribute to chronic pain patterns. Patients often experience immediate mobility improvements and reduced stiffness following treatment sessions.
Electro-Stimulation
Electro-stimulation enhances pain management through controlled electrical impulses that modulate nerve signals. This non-invasive technique helps reset aberrant pain pathways while promoting tissue regeneration. Used selectively in combination with other therapies, it provides targeted relief for acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Questions
What types of pain do you specialize in treating?
We focus on chronic musculoskeletal pain including arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries. Our techniques also address neurological pain conditions like migraines and fibromyalgia.
Does insurance cover acupuncture treatments?
Most major providers including Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, and United Healthcare offer acupuncture coverage. We help verify benefits and submit claims to maximize insurance reimbursement.
How soon will I see improvement?
Many patients experience relief within 2-6 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require 6-12 treatments, with maintenance sessions recommended for long-term benefit. We track progress and adjust protocols as needed.
What is Korean Sasang constitutional medicine?
This diagnostic system identifies four body types that determine individual healing patterns and treatment responsiveness. Tailoring care to constitutional type improves effectiveness compared to generic approaches.
Do you offer remote consultations?
We provide virtual appointments for treatment planning and follow-up care. In-person visits remain essential for hands-on therapies like acupuncture and cupping sessions.

Dr. Lee has changed my life. With acupuncture and herbs my body is balanced and I have energy for the first time, in decades. I've had chronic epstein-barr virus since 1987. After twelve years of western medicine and no help, I found acupuncture in 1998. With acupuncture, I was able to get out of bed and stay out of bed. The herbs and body typing have transformed my physical state from weak to strong. I've had stomach issues since 1987, looking 9 months pregnant at times, to a flat stomach. With all that's going on with the corona virus, make a life changing decision, call for an

I have been a patient here for almost 3 years, and I must say, it has been an amazing experience so far. The Doctors and staff go above and beyond to show how much they care. I always feel so much better when I leave, and it's always with a smile! I highly recommend David Lee Acupuncture.

If you're lucky enough to have acupuncture covered by insurance, you're in good hands. I really like Dr. Kim. Be sure to inquire about costs. I agreed to try herbs and they charged $45 for a half container of herbs (less than 2 weeks worth). I would NOT have accepted that cost if I knew. Another woman checking out while I was there was given a better "cash" price than they offered me. Oh well. Just be aware- pricing isn't transparent.
