About New Hope Pain Center

At New Hope Pain Center, we specialize in treating back pain and neck pain caused by car accidents and personal injuries. Many patients experience delayed symptoms after an accident, including stiffness, headaches, or persistent discomfort. Our goal is to identify the root cause of your pain and begin treatment immediately to prevent long-term complications.

 

We provide comprehensive, non-surgical care that includes chiropractic adjustments, spinal correction, physiotherapy, and acupuncture. Whether your back pain is the result of whiplash, spinal misalignment, or soft tissue injury, our treatment plans are customized to your condition and recovery goals.

In addition to accident-related injuries, we also treat chronic back pain, neck pain, migraines, sports injuries, fatigue-related tension, and other spinal conditions.

 

We work closely with personal injury attorneys and insurance providers to ensure patients receive the care they need without added financial stress. Our team is experienced in proper documentation for legal and insurance cases.

 

We are committed to providing respectful, inclusive care to every patient we serve.

Treatments & Services

At New Hope Pain Center, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality care by integrating both Western and Eastern medical practices to achieve the best possible results. Below are some of the treatment services we offer:

Personal Injury
개인 상해

We provide specialized care for patients recovering from a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

  • Car accidents

  • Truck crashes

  • Motorcycle accidents

  • Recreational vehicle (RV) accidents

Aviation Accidents

  • Plane crashes

  • Helicopter accidents

Premises Liability

  • Slip and fall injuries

  • Dog bites

  • Accidents caused by improper lighting or negligent security


Sports Injury
스포츠 부상

We provide care for both acute and chronic sports injuries caused by exercise, athletic activity, or repetitive stress. Common sports-related injuries we treat include:

  • Sprains: overstretching or tearing of ligaments

  • Strains: overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons

  • Knee injuries

  • Swollen or inflamed muscles

  • Achilles tendon rupture

  • Fractures (broken bones)

  • Dislocations

  • Rotator cuff injuries

Frozen Shoulder/ Adhesive Capsulitis
오십견 / 유착성 관절낭염

We provide targeted care for patients experiencing shoulder pain and stiffness caused by frozen shoulder, a condition where the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens.

Common symptoms include:

  • Shoulder stiffness

  • Dull or aching pain in the joint

  • Limited range of motion

  • Discomfort during sleep or certain movements

Symptoms typically develop gradually, worsen over time, and may take 1 to 3 years to fully resolve with proper treatment.

Chronic Pain
만성 통증

We provide care for patients experiencing chronic or persistent pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks, even after treatment or medication. While most people recover from pain following an injury or surgery, some experience ongoing discomfort without a clear cause.

Common types of chronic pain include:

  • Arthritis or joint pain

  • Back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Cancer-related pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Testicular pain (orchialgia)

  • Lasting pain in scar tissue

  • Widespread muscle pain (e.g., fibromyalgia)

Our goal is to manage and reduce chronic pain using personalized, multi-therapy treatment plans designed to restore comfort and function.

Disc Herniation
디스크 탈출증

We offer treatment for disc herniation, also known as a bulged, slipped, or ruptured disc. This condition occurs when a fragment of the disc nucleus pushes out through a tear in the outer layer (annulus) and into the spinal canal. It often results from early disc degeneration and can lead to significant pain, numbness, or weakness.

Our therapies focus on relieving pressure, restoring mobility, and supporting long-term spinal health through a combination of chiropractic, physiotherapy, and decompression treatments.

Post Natal Pain
산후 통증

We provide care for patients experiencing postnatal (afterbirth) pain, which commonly includes abdominal cramping as the uterus contracts and returns to its pre-pregnancy size. These cramps are a normal part of recovery and typically resolve within a few days after childbirth.

Our treatments support postpartum healing by easing discomfort, improving circulation, and promoting faster recovery through personalized therapy plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Sciatica
좌골신경통

We provide treatment for sciatica, a condition where pain radiates along the sciatic nerve from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It often results from a herniated disc or bone overgrowth pressing on the nerve.

Types of sciatica we treat include:

  • Acute sciatica: sudden onset, lasting 4 to 8 weeks

  • Chronic sciatica: persistent pain lasting more than 8 weeks

  • Alternating sciatica: pain that shifts between legs

  • Bilateral sciatica: pain affecting both legs simultaneously

Scoliosis
척추측만증

We offer care for scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine most commonly diagnosed during adolescence. While some cases are linked to conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, most childhood scoliosis has no known cause. In adults, scoliosis can develop or worsen over time and may lead to discomfort and mobility issues.

Common symptoms in adults include:

  • Uneven shoulders or hips

  • Visible bump or curve in the lower back

  • Numbness, weakness, or pain in the legs

  • Difficulty walking or standing upright

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Shortness of breath

  • Loss of height

Adolescent Orthotherapy
청소년 자세교정 치료

We offer orthotherapy and physiotherapy services for children and adolescents to support healthy development, improve movement patterns, and address physical challenges early on. Our care focuses on improving flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination.

Common reasons for adolescent orthotherapy include:

  • Trauma or injury recovery

  • Altered reflexes

  • Developmental delays

  • Pain management

  • Balance and coordination issues

  • Muscle strengthening

  • Delays in gross motor skills

  • Cervical torticollis

  • In-toeing or out-toeing

  • Walking difficulties

  • Postural abnormalities

  • Toe walking

  • Flat feet

Pain Reduction
통증 완화

We offer targeted treatment plans to reduce pain caused by injury, illness, or chronic conditions. Understanding the type of pain you’re experiencing is the first step toward effective care.

Types of pain we treat include:

  • Acute pain: Sudden, sharp pain often caused by injury or illness. Common sources include fractures, muscle spasms, burns, appendicitis, or shingles.

  • Chronic pain: Pain that lasts more than six months. Often linked to arthritis, fibromyalgia, nerve damage (neuropathy), or untreated injuries. Low back pain is a common example.

  • Nociceptive pain: Caused by physical damage to tissues. This includes pain from broken bones, muscle strains, or injuries to internal organs or the musculoskeletal system.

  • Neuropathic pain: Caused by issues in the nervous system. It may result from conditions like diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), HIV, or other nerve-related disorders—even without visible injury.

Physiotherapy
물리치료

We provide physiotherapy to help patients restore movement, improve function, and enhance overall quality of life. Our therapy plans are tailored to all ages and conditions, focusing on injury recovery, chronic pain relief, and long-term mobility.

Common conditions physiotherapy can support include:

  • Bones, joints, and soft tissue injuries – back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sports injuries

  • Neurological conditions – movement issues from stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease

  • Cardiac rehabilitation – recovery support after a heart attack

  • Respiratory conditions – chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis

Physiotherapy promotes better physical function, reduces pain, and helps prevent future injury through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and patient education.

Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs
침술과 한약 치료

We offer acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as part of an integrative approach to pain relief, stress management, and overall wellness. These treatments are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focus on restoring balance and promoting natural healing.

Acupuncture involves:

  • Inserting very thin needles at specific points on the body

  • Stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue

  • Relieving pain and inflammation

  • Supporting emotional and physical wellness

Chinese herbal medicine involves:

  • Prescribing customized blends of herbs based on patient needs

  • Balancing the body’s energy systems (Yin and Yang)

  • Treating chronic conditions and supporting immune function

  • Enhancing the effects of acupuncture and other therapies

I went to this place thanks to a recommendation from an acquaintance, and it was nice to receive treatment using Western and Oriental medicine techniques. In particular, I was treated with a pain-free decompression therapy device called Spine Med, and my spine and neck pain was definitely relieved. It was quiet, and both the doctors and nurses were friendly.
Hello, since my first appointment, the doctor and nurses assisted me in a good way. I like the place because it is clean.

I had back pain that had been going on for over a month, and I am sensitive to my health, so I went to a lot of schedules in the beginning, including massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, I went to this place with half-confidence in a state of psychological exhaustion, and I think it was a place that not only provided me with medical healing, but also psychological healing.

These days, in a world where even humans are becoming mechanical (especially in the medical field, it seems to be worse), it's been a while since
Encountering the scent of a person and gaining psychological stability

Even the pain I had was relieved in just 5 visits.
I am posting this review with great gratitude as the improvement has been amazing. ^^

It's a great clinic that was recommended by my lawyer when I got into a traffic accident. They helped relieve my pain by acupuncture, and sort of an electric massaging method. The staff is great, it's clean and I couldn't ask for a better place. I really recommend it!

I discovered this facility while searching for trearment for my golfer's elbow. Intrigued by the combination of physical therapy and acupuncure, I decided to give it a try. Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. He dedicates ample time to understand each patient's needs, offering customized treatment plans accordingly. The friendly staff is an added bonus.

New Hope Pain Center has been the absolute best chiropractic and acupuncture practices I have experienced in all my history of back problems. Dr. Kim and his team are genuine from the start, they strive to correct you with a history of continuing back issues.

Thanks to Dr. Kim and her team I will be continuing to go to them for my maintenance practices!

You guys are great, keep up the great work and change people’s lives for the better!
