They just moved to nearby location to 22 odyssey #270. First visit with leg pain. He was really professional and kind. I got a balance treatment focusing on posture correction. I am hopeful this will resolve the underlying my issue. read more

Everyone who works here is so very helpful and friendly. The experience is always so pleasant. I had my first acupuncture appointment here which went nicely and the doctor was extremely kind and friendly. The chiropractic doctor is very kind and gentle when realigning everything. So glad I don't have to look elsewhere for my chiropractic needs! read more

Went again today for my other shoulder since I was experiencing discomfort. After today's session, it feels back to normal! I implore anyone that I know who is experiencing pain to try this place. I am forever grateful that I have found this place. I can live normally again without experiencing pain from very normal movements. Thank you! read more

Ok. I thought I saw that they were closed a little while back, but now they are open again with a new name. They used to be Jaseng. Looking at their website, it looks like the same doctors and service! I can't wait to go back. read more

Ja Seng in (Ap Gu Jeong) Seoul branch is a well known Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture clinic in Korea. I worked its right next building, that's how I got to discover Ja Seng Center. Well, as all other business grow bigger and earn more fame, I realize I can't refer to my favorite doctor, server, owner or etc. whom I had a good experience with no more, due to higher volume of customers the business needs to deal with, there fore, my favorite specific person can't be always available for me. Although, Ja Seng is famous in Korea, it now became just a name, I have to gamble wether I find my new favorite acupuncturist at this location or not. My mother had a few treatments here, she had bruises on her forehead, and on hand after acupuncture treatments. I don't think it makes sense if it is common for older people to get bruised after an acupuncture treatment. Has anyone heard of??? Another thing that threw me off was the ice pack. So my mother had a bruise and bleeding after a treatment, she was given a small ice pack wrapped in a totally worn off fabric which seemed pretty aged and not sanitized at all. She just wrapped it with a paper and used it briefly then I threw it away. I thought it was just meant to be disposed after a patient's use, but mother was asked if she returned it to them at her next visit...hm. I got a ton of ice packs from my hospital after delivering my baby, I was directed to dispose it after each use to prevent any kind of possible infection or so. The whole time, in my dictionary, ice packs should be individually wrapped and disposed after a use. Lastly, if you are a receptionist and answer a call at a clinic, what would you do first if a patient wants to make an appointment? wouldn't you ask him/her if one is a returnee, then name and birthdate to find their record? Why does the receptionist keep asking me specific details other than asking my birthdate??? is she trying to help me from getting an Alzheimer? The location to me can't be any better, and the acupuncturist is very understanding and quite friendly. I've had chiropractic treatments before, (can't recall his name), he was very good and understanding as well. The receptionist wasn't always getting on my nerve, maybe she just had a horrible day when I called. Overall, I will likely come back if I needed any kind of pain to relieve, because of its great location, and friendly practitioners here. ***Just remember, when you receive an acupuncture treatment, don't trust the nurse removed all needles, always double, triple check if she did remove all needles, one of nurses forgot to remove two needles in my mother's head until she reminded her. Very dangerous. It would be great if acupuncturist, herself comes back to remove them as well, because she knows the best of what she did to her patients. read more

Nuvida Korean Medicine - Bruised after an acupuncture treatment - Acupuncture Near Me - Irvine, California

Acupuncture here is the best I've ever had. The doctor and staff are amazing. It actually brightens my day not only because I feel better when I'm done, but the environment is very calming and friendly. Thank you for all you do. read more

I love Dr.soo Jin's acupuncture treatment. My lags pain and shoulder pain is gone! Thank you. read more

My first time visiting the Chiropractor, but has been in such a great experience, and I would like to continue with more visit.

First time getting cracked like a pretzel. Was a little scary because I didn't know what to expect. It also felt very get in and get out type of process, but honestly I think it was because the first visit I was the last patient and they wanted to leave. I gave it a second shot and I now appreciate the "straight to the point" care. I had soooo much lower back pressure and pain after pinching my back and walking hunched over for three weeks. I am feeling so much better after doing acupuncture, cupping, and seeing the chiro. Just two visits do far and it's working wonders. Only reason it's not five stars is due to the lack of not guiding me through the process on the first visit. The element of surprise was a little rough lol. But the results are good. read more

I use to live in Irvine and I always go to this clinic when my back hurts and Dr. Sean would align my spine and Dr. Lena would do acupuncture on me. Every time I live in that place, I always feel relieved. I highly recommend this place, especially that the doctors are very nice and caring. Thank you for helping me when I always had back pain. Lynn Lavarias read more

Fantastic chiro. I have been going here for a few months now with some lower back issues due to a pelvic shift and every time I leave after my treatment. I feel amazing. I highly recommend treatment here read more

I really like Dr.Kim!!! He's really listening to what his patients get to say and friendly. As a female patient, I feel comfortable with his treatments and approaches. He always tries to cover me as much as possible during sessions. They provide gowns that are wrapped individually, which I really like. Thanks to Dr.Kim for always helping patients feel better!!! read more

I honestly don't know what to say about this place. It's one of a kind. both chiro and acupuncture doctors are very thorough and very kind. They always makes you feel special and remembers conversations you had with them months ago about your life lol. Dr. Kim (chiropractor) is the best chiropractor I've ever had. I've been to 3-4 different doctors and no one can compare to how good he adjust and how knowledgeable he is. There are times when I go and I know I have back pain but can't point out exactly where and he will look at it and then palpate the exact area voila!!!. he takes his time massaging and loosening your muscles up prior adjusting you as well. It's like an instant relief with my back pain after each visit with him. read more

I came to Dr. Woo Kyong Lee at the Jaseng Center in Irvine after two years of physical therapy that left me unable to fully recover from my knee surgery from the auto accident. I had sought help from physical therapy(s), cortisone shot, PRP injection, and other acupuncturists, yet the pain, numbness, and swelling on my knee were NOT going anywhere. In addition to my knee injury; my health issues are very complex from the accident, but Dr. Woo Kyung Lee "LISTENED" to my needs. From the VERY FIRST acupuncture treatment, I experienced tremendous improvements. The core pain is already better and the numbness is reduced. Dr. Woo Kyong Lee is helping me to break through a number of barriers on the elusive road to recovery. Simply, thank you, Dr. Woo Kyong Lee! read more

Since I wrote a review 4 years ago, this place is still one of the best places​ to my family, especially after having a baby girl. Highly recommended if you have been​ suffered from​ any kind of pain on your neck, shoulder, lower back, etc. I'm kind of sad at the same time because now I have to book and can't just walk-in anymore due to too many patients visiting here... but glad that this place gets what it deserves. :) read more

After knitting, I got serious pain in my wrist. The pain kept me awake at night and sometimes I couldn't even hold my phone. I thought it would be gone soon and I bought pain killing patches and wrist braces to try to treat the pain by myself. However, it was just a waste of time and money. My pain was getting worse. I found Irvine Jaseng center through Yelp. I had heard that Korea Jaseng has a very good reputation for pain relief. All staff and doctors are so kind. I called many times to ask questions, and they always answered sincerely. Also, they checked my insurance ahead of visiting. I filled out the form about my symptoms, and base on that Dr. Lena counseled in detail. After that, we moved to the treatment room. I lied down on the bed. There are bed heating system and blanket. Thanks to those, I didn't feel cold though I wore patient gown. I've never experienced these kind of treatments including cupping and acupuncture, so that I was nervous. I was very worried about cupping marks and needle pain. However, it turned out to be unnecessary. There were no remaining marks or pain during the whole treatment, and my symptoms (pain in shoulder, wrist) are dramatically relieved after a few sessions of treatment. I received various treatments like acupuncture, cupping, and taping etc.. All these treatment made pains to be gone. Now I am free from pain. :-) It's unbelievable to get acupuncture in USA as same qualified as in Korean. read more

Nuvida Korean Medicine - Clean treatment room - Acupuncture Near Me - Irvine, California

This is one of the most efficient hospitals I've ever been to. They are so quick to tend to all of their patients, and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. One time, the hospital was so full but they still took the time to make another room open for me. They also have timers by each room's door so a patient never has to wait too long. I find it hard to believe that there are only two doctors here because they seem to be really present with all of their patients, even when it gets really busy! Dr. Sean Kim is also one of my favorite doctors. He's knowledgeable, funny, and it's evident that he cares about each patient. I got chiropractic treatments for my back and my chest area twice a week for about three weeks now, and he always asks me about certain things I told him about during the session before. I'm sure he's really busy, but the fact that he remembers minute details about me and my treatment is pretty impressive. He also knows what he's talking about. I've experienced improvements with my chest muscle pains, and I've definitely learned a lot about how my body works just from what he's shared with me. I really feel the desire and inclination to start taking care of my body. I'm actually sad that I'll be finished with treatments soon, and I look forward to coming back for a check-up in the later future! Highly recommend :) read more

Jaseng is one of the most prestige and well-known medical center, and I was aware of it. That's why I was glad to have them in Irvine. Dr. Lena and the staffs were super professional, and my shoulder was almost instantly getting better after couple sessions of acupunture treatment. Dr. Lena's treatment didn't hurt me at all, and it gives me more believe for her whenever she finds other related muscle issues, and she treats them right away. read more

I've been going to Jaseng recently for my second time. Dr. Lena is attentive and well informed. I am nearing the end of my treatment and on both occasions I was treated effectively. Unlike my general practice doctor's office I am always seen promptly upon arrival. Treatment is efficient and I never have a problem getting in for appointments. I would recommend this office to anyone. And especially anyone new to acupuncture. I was given plenty of time and space to describe my issues and given a full explanation of what to expect of my treatments and the duration of treatments each time I went. read more

Most recommendable acupuncture clinic ever I have. Actually this center is originated from Korea and its reputation is definitely wonderful. The doctor is so fluent in English and looks very experienced and professional. read more

I used to come here often for my neck and shoulder injury. Both Dr. Lena and Dr. Kim are very knowledgeable when it comes with acupuncture and chiropractic treatment. First off, I'd like to acknowledge Dr. Lena because she always asks how I'm feeling and is quick to diagnose the center of pain and soreness. In addition, she is sure to follow up on progress from previous visits. Dr. Kim also does very well with physical therapy. Though he is good at relieving tension in the joints and such, he doesn't spend as much time and usually performs the same routine. I see this as a minor flaw here at Jaseng. What you can expect here are treatments ranging from acupuncture all the way to treatments like electric stimulation and cupping therapy. Don't be afraid because it's not as bad as it sounds, I promise. I ended coming here more for acupuncture and electric stimulation instead of doing a combination of acupuncture and physical therapy. I always felt better for an hour after treatment but not in the long-term. Your muscles will feel much more relieved, that's a guarantee. 3.75 stars out of 5 from me. read more

I have visited three different places for my neck pain Symptom: Extreme pain on shoulder, arm and hand. I was not able to raise up my left hand and move my head left or right. 1.

Result: after 2nd treatment pain was gone, 3rd treatment correcting neck shape to prevent neck disk. Overall, Lena Kim and their staffs are very professional. Every visit I felt caring that makes me comfortable and trust. Treatment could take up to 20 mins to 40 mins. Lena Kim kindly explains body condition during treatment, so do not hesitate to ask questions. read more

The people that work here are so kind and helpful! Thank you for providing good, high quality service.

Let me start off by saying that by far, this is the BEST acupuncture/chiropractic clinic I've ever visited! I have been suffering from a severe low back pain from being obese since I was young (I am 5'2'' 180lb, just FYI). I grew up visiting many acupuncture and chiropractic clinic, mostly recommended by friends and family, in an effort to relieve and treat my back but only was able to produce a temporary relief and not a lasting effect. Having seen my condition for many years, my family doctor suggested and recommended on multiple visit that I consider getting a surgery. But being a firm believer in alternative and natural medicine, I decided not give up and continue trying and I am very happy that I did! While searching for a hospital which specialize spinal disorders, I found this place Jaseng Center located in Irvine which was not too far from where I live. The office has BOTH Acupuncturist and Chiropractor and they specialize in non-surgical treatments for spinal disorders!! It was just what I was looking for! Dr. Lena Kim, the head Acupuncturist at Jaseng Irvine and Dr. Sean Kim the head Chiropractor work as a team to work out the magic! I was recommended that I get both the acupuncture and chiropractic done on the same visit, which I have been faithfully getting for the past four months. My pain level has significantly decreased since the start of treatment. It has decreased by a quarter by the fourth visit and MORE than HALF in the past three months of treatments. The quality of pain I feel on daily basis also has changed from constant severe sharp pain to more of a occasional dull moderate pain. I am so happy to have met the two Dr.Kim and Jaseng Center and would LOVE to recommend Jaseng Center in Irvine to all who suffers from both acute and chronic back pain! Just FYI, I I later found out that this place originates from Korea and has many branches both in Korea and California, so you can visit the one closest to you! read more

I spent a few months regularly going to Jaseng and having Dr. Lena was truly one of the best experiences for me. It is by the far the best holistic treatment I've received and if I was still in the area I would continue going there forever! read more

Jaseng is a well known brand for Eastern medicine and acupuncture in Korea. I decided to give it a try for my chronic back pain and also fatigue problem. The wait it minimum at each appointment, and the doctor is extremely informative, smart and experienced. I really enjoy my cupping treatments and the friendly staff. I recommend this place! read more

I really like Dr. Lena and Dr. Lee (acupuncturist and chiropractor). The entire staff wants to make you feel better. I am not pain free yet but I do feel I am on the way to feeling better. I would definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Lena and her staff have made such a difference after my car accident. I struggled with terrible migraines and constant neck pain even with chiropractic treatment. So I went to Jaseng and acupuncture has tremulously helped. I don't wake up with headaches every morning or a stiff neck that keeps me awake at night. Thanks Jaseng for everything! Because of you I get to enjoy working out again without fear of pain and get a good nights rest! read more

I went to Jaseng center irvine for my neck pain. Right after the first visit, I noticed the improvement in the movement of my neck. The acupuncture doctor taught me various helpful exercises for my neck. and she is very caring and professional. Highly recommend this place. read more

My first visit was about 2years ago when I was suffering from lower back pain. I've been to a few different doctors before Jaseng and none of them did a good job but Jaseng was the only place actually fixed what was wrong. Dr. Sean Kim and Dr. Lena Kim both are nice, knowledgeable and very professional. Came back here after the recent car accident and still very welcoming and my neck pain is almost gone. Highly recommend! read more

For the past two months, i had too much stress at work. I had a bad stomach pain and i couldn't sleep and eat. I've visited Dr. Lena & Dr. Kim and treatment was amazing. Now I am completely pain free and my energy level is pretty good. Dr. Lena & Dr. Kim always tried to help me as much as possible. They are great!!! Thank you Dr. Lena & Dr, Kim!! read more

I have been going to Jaseng for 3.5 years for injuries I sustained from military duty. It started with 2-3 times a week but now I continue to get treatment about once a month for maintenance. I wish I can have 2 sessions a day! Everyone makes me feel like family and compared to other doctor offices the wait for Jaseng is almost non existent. Sometimes I walk-in the wait is no more than 12 mins with a office full of patients waiting in the room. If you want to have friendly, fast, effective service and feel like a VIP. Then look no further! read more

I had been going here since last year when I got into a car accident. All the staff is really friendly and understanding. The doctors here especially have helped me immensely to not only treat the back and neck pain I have been having but also get through the car accident case. My pain have been lessening gradually and even to the point where there had been no pain for weeks. I highly recommend this place. read more

I have not seen the doctor yet so won't give the review about her but called in and asked for the availability as well as price/insurance information. Front desk girl was so so, not mean but not so helpful either. Told her I have insurance and the situation where I got some deductible and she told me to email her my info. Not sure how long would it takes for her to email me back but other places took my information and called right away for me, cause when you are in pain, you don't want to wait around. I also asked for the price, and it was expensive, she said $ 90.00 for the first-time visit and $ 150.00 for Chiropractor adjustment/Acupuncture treatment. Holy cow, I was expensive, the amount that they charge, the insurance for sure will not allow. She did not offer to wait for the bill to be submitted and then bill me later, like their other Fullerton location does ( and the front desk was really nice too), however there is some distance so I could not made it at the time. Had she offered for me to pay a standard amount upfront while wait for bill to be submitted, I would have come. Needless to say, I decided to looked up on Yelp and found another place nearby, whom the front desk was a charm and gave me such a good deal, got my treatment done with Chiropractor adjustment/ 2 needles acupuncture inserted for $40.00 out of the door, also applied the charged to my deductible as well. read more

Over the past 20 yrs, I've received various forms of treatments for my back and neck. Typcially I end up at places that just specialize in one form of treatment since that's usually what's out there. I've gone to places specializing in physical therapy, accupuncture, various massage techniques, cupping, chiropractor, etc. Generally, the treatments are helpful and I never expect single treatment miracles to heal me entirely. My issues are chronic based off historical injuries I never fully recovered from and all the traveling I do so I honestly don't know if I will ever feel 100% but treatments in various forms did help me get by. With Jaseng, there's a sense of comfort, convenience and efficiency to know that when I'm here I can get a variety of treatments all under one roof during one visit. I also feel like there are benefits to receiving multiple treatment types back to back immediately rather than spread out. Granted the order in which the treatment per visit is different, there isn't necessarily a downside to it. At the end, the key is when I get off the table to stand, there's a sense of relaxed comfort. My spine is aligned, my muscles are less tense, if I come in with a headache I generally leave without it, etc. The accupuncture portion helps relieve muscle tension and pain while the cupping helps with bloodflow, spasm relief and pent up lactic acid. The chiropractic portion uses electric muscle stimulation which I always enjoy and an ultrasound device that usually helps break down scar tissue all polished off with a bunch of pops and cracks to align the spine properly to round things out. All in all, with just a single visit, I always feel better when I leave than when I come in to begin with. My issues are long term chronic ones so it will certainly take a bit of time and effort to resolve, but I feel like Jaseng's treatments are helping me move towards the right direction for recovery which essentially gives me the hope of a full recovery some day. read more

I've been going to Jaseng about once a month for almost a year to do the physical therapy treatments from Dr. Kim. He is always very friendly and patient to listen to any problems I am feeling with my back/shoulders, and does his best to offer advice and help. The treatments are very consistent and the facility is very nice and clean. The other staff are always very welcoming and helpful as well. Recently, my shoulders and upper back were feeling extremely tense, and one of the staff named Angie offered to let try the cupping therapy to see if it would help. It definitely relieved a lot of my tension, along with the regular chiropractic treatment from Dr. Kim. I recommend anyone looking for back, shoulder, and/or neck relief to give Jaseng a try! They are a very genuine and caring facility and it is always a pleasure to go in. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kim for four weeks now since my back started hurting me, and I must say that he does a great job as a chiropractor. He uses a combination of capsaicin, electric stimulation, and adjustments to make your back feel much better than it did when you went in that day. He also is an incredibly nice guy, and genuinely takes interest in your well being. I absolutely would recommend him to everyone I know. read more

I had a severe pain on the back. I couldn't sleep well and had trouble in walking. I had visited Jaseng in different region before and it was great. This time I visited Dr. Lena and, of course, the treatment was awesome. Now I feel completely no pain. They provide more proper treatment to the pain or symptoms which cannot be easily cured by ordinary medicine. Dr. Lena and all other workers always tried to help me as much as possible. I really appreciate their help. read more

I was playing basketball with my son and twisted my back the wrong way. Suddenly, I could hardly stand up. I suffered with intense pain for a couple of days, but I could hardly stand up straight. I had heard about Jaseng a few years ago via Brian Lee, who, at the time, had recently moved to the U.S. from Korea to help set up the Jaseng Center. Brian was always very passionate about what the Jaseng Center had to offer, and told me about the intense training that the doctors go through in Korea. After speaking to Brian about this, I had told myself I would give this a try if I ever had need. Well, this injury definitely provided me the opportunity. I went to the Irvine location with a fair amount of skepticism. I was asked to rate my pain on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being worst). I rated my pain an 8. The doctor took me into her office and asked for a history of my injury and did a physical assessment. She determined the problem was a back spasm. She then took me into a treatment room and laid me on a massage table face down and hooked up an electrical device to my back in order to relax me. This device actually felt quite good (like a massage). She then returned after 10 minutes, and proceeded to insert the acupuncturist needles. I'm not sure how many she inserted (I think it was 6 - 8), I thought there would be more, but was OK with it being fewer since I have a pretty strong fear of needles. I didn't really feel the needles, as she had a way to physically distract you from feeling it by tapping on your back as she inserted the needles. She left the needles in my back for another 10 minutes. She returned to the room and turned me on my side and inserted a needle or 2 for a few moments. She then turned me on my back and proceeded to press hard on my stomach (I'm not sure if she used a needle on my stomach or not). This stomach portion of the treatment was the most uncomfortable portion of the visit, but it was also the last portion of the visit. When she was done, I stood up and much to my surprise I felt pain relief. I figured it would be temporary pain relief, but the pain stayed away. As of today, it has been 5 days since my treatment and I would give the pain rating a 1 or 2 (recall that I started out with pain that was an 8). I'm going back in today for a follow up, though I don't think I need it, but I had already set up a follow up visit. All I can say at this point is that I am a believer in Jaseng and in acupuncture. I would not hesitate to send a friend or family member to Jaseng for pain relief. read more
