David
H. Kim, M.D.
Using the best of western medicine and eastern philosophy to maximize the body’s
ability to heal itself from pain.
Dr. Kim became interested in Pain
Management after his own experiences with severe chronic pain. When Dr. Kim was
30 years old, he developed severe pain in his low back. Despite seeing some of
the best doctors, he was unable to achieve significant pain relief. This started
a lifelong search for the best pain management treatment for himself. Through a
series of events, he came to meet Chan Gunn, M.D. who treated
him using Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (GunnIMS). Dr. Kim got better and
learned the technique from Dr. Gunn.
Dr. Kim modified the technique to better suit his patient population. He named this modified technique Trigger Point Needling (TPN).
Now Dr. Kim uses TPN almost exclusively to
treat a wide variety of pain conditions. Dr. Kim is
board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
(PM&R), and Pain Medicine. He is an Assistant
Professor at MCP/Hahnemann University and Past President of his specialty society.
