Growing up as a daughter of a chiropractor, Dr. Kim regularly saw the difference chiropractic care made in people’s lives.
“My father shared his excitement about and passion for chiropractic with me. And I knew from a young age that this is what I wanted to do,” she said.
Embracing Change in Chiropractic Care
Throughout her 40 years in practice, Dr. Kim has noticed significant shifts in the field of chiropractic care. One of the most impactful changes she notes is the public’s evolving attitude toward health and wellness.
“The general public’s acceptance of chiropractic and its importance in helping people maintain their health has grown,” Dr. Kim explained. This shift has made her practice more fulfilling, as patients increasingly understand the value of taking an active role in their health through diet, exercise, mental attitude, and chiropractic care.
Continual Learning and Specialization
Dr. Kim is committed to expanding her knowledge and skills for the benefit of her patients. She regularly attends seminars and pursues additional training to stay current with the latest developments in chiropractic care. Recently, she has focused on perinatal and pediatric care, as well as scoliosis and cranial techniques.
Her dedication to learning allows her to offer a broad scope of knowledge to her patients. As she put it, “There’s so much to learn, and I like to keep updating my skills so that I have more tools in my toolbox to help the people who come into my practice.”
A Holistic Approach to Health
A common misconception Dr. Kim encounters is the belief that chiropractic care is simply about “cracking” joints. However, she emphasizes that effective chiropractic care is much more comprehensive.
“Sometimes people think they’re just coming in for a single “crack”, but that’s rarely what a person needs. It’s important for people to get a thorough evaluation to find out what the underlying cause of the problem is,” Dr. Kim explained. Her approach focuses on gentle, safe adjustments that address the root causes of health issues, promoting overall well-being.
New to Chiropractic & Not Sure What to Expect?
Are you considering chiropractic care for the first time, but unsure about its safety after, perhaps, watching alarming social media videos of people getting adjusted? Dr. Kim reassures patients new to chiropractic that it is extremely safe, with millions of people receiving care regularly with very few issues.
Dr. Kim recommends finding a chiropractor who takes the time to understand each patient’s unique situation, performs a thorough evaluation, and clearly explains their findings and care plan. She also encourages individuals to be patient with the process, as chiropractic care works with the body’s natural healing abilities, which takes time.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Chiropractic Care
As Dr. Kim looks to the future, she is excited about the ongoing advancements in chiropractic care, particularly in understanding the broader impacts of spinal adjustments. “The newest exciting field is the impact that the chiropractic adjustment has on our full nervous system and brain,” she said.
