Acupuncture at United Spine Care
We are proud to expand our holistic services with Acupuncture, offered by Dr. Esther S. Kim, DAOM, L.Ac., a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with nearly a decade of clinical experience. Her advanced training and compassionate approach make acupuncture a natural complement to chiropractic and physiotherapy, helping patients recover more fully and maintain long-term health.
