Compassionate chiropractic care for individuals and families.
Dr. Karin Kim has been providing chiropractic care to individuals and families in the Long Beach and Los Angeles area since October 2000. With advanced education in clinical neuroscience and a special focus on chiropractic neurology, Dr. Kim is passionate about helping people better understand their nervous system and take an active role in their overall health and well-being.
Dr. Kim earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Hawai‘i and her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West, graduating Magna Cum Laude in December 1999. In 2022, she earned her Master of Science in Clinical Neuroscience, expanding her education in the brain, nervous system, and their relationship to the way the body functions.
A lifelong passion for chiropractic and health
Before establishing her chiropractic practice in Long Beach, California, Dr. Kim had an established practice in San Francisco, California. She also spent time in Hawai‘i managing a chiropractic clinic. Through these experiences, she developed an even deeper passion for chiropractic and a commitment to helping people of all ages pursue healthier lives through individualized care.
Today, Dr. Kim brings together her chiropractic training and advanced neuroscience education to provide a personalized approach to care. She believes that the brain and nervous system play an important role in overall health and that understanding how these systems function can help patients make more informed healthcare decisions.
Chiropractic neurology and individualized care
Dr. Kim focuses her practice on chiropractic neurology, with an emphasis on educating patients about how their bodies work and how they can become active participants in their own health. Every person is unique, and she takes time to listen, understand individual needs, and develop care around the patient's specific goals, history, examination findings, and comfort.
Her approach is compassionate, personal, and centered on helping patients better understand their health. She considers it a privilege to educate and support patients as they make informed healthcare decisions.
Chiropractic care for pregnancy and children
As a mother of two herself, Dr. Kim has a special interest in caring for pregnant women, mothers, and children. She understands that pregnancy and childhood are important stages of development and believes families deserve compassionate, individualized healthcare throughout every stage of life.
Dr. Kim welcomes patients of all ages, including those who are interested in taking greater responsibility for their health and well-being through chiropractic care.
A team approach to healthcare
Dr. Kim believes that good patient care often involves collaboration. While chiropractic care and chiropractic neurology can be components of a person's overall healthcare, she also recognizes the value of working with other qualified healthcare professionals. When appropriate, she refers patients to other medical and healthcare providers and collaborates with fellow professionals when their expertise can benefit the patient.
