Acupuncture is a gentle, evidence-supported therapy that activates the body’s natural ability to heal, restore balance, and regulate the nervous system. Using ultra-fine, sterile needles, acupuncture stimulates specific points to improve circulation, release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote deep relaxation.

Each session is personalized to your unique symptoms and underlying patterns, recognizing that even similar pains can have very different root causes.

This session may support:

• Pain relief and inflammation reduction
• Muscle and joint mobility
• Stress, anxiety, and emotional balance
• Digestive and metabolic function
• Headaches, migraines, and sinus issues
• Sleep improvement and nervous system regulation
• Women’s health and hormonal balance

What to expect:

Treatments are calming, restorative, and designed to guide the body into a parasympathetic “healing state.” Most patients feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded after a session, with benefits that build over time.

Acupuncture at SUUM CLINIC is tailored to your breath, your structure, and your individual path to healing.

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that restores balance, mobility, and alignment throughout the entire body. It works with the interconnected system of muscles, joints, fascia, nerves, and organs, helping the body function as one integrated whole.

During your session, John Kim uses precise manual techniques to release tension, improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and support your body’s natural ability to heal. Treatments are fully personalized—addressing both the area of pain and the underlying patterns that create it.

This session may include:

• Structural Osteopathic Techniques
To improve joint motion, posture, mobility, and musculoskeletal balance.

• Cranial Sacrum Therapy
A subtle, deeply calming approach that balances the craniosacral rhythm, reduces stress, supports the nervous system, and helps relieve headaches, TMJ issues, insomnia, and emotional tension.

• Visceral Therapy
Gentle manual work that improves the mobility of internal organs and surrounding fascia, supporting digestion, breathing, and overall core function.

Effective for:

• Back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Joint and muscle tension
• Headaches & migraines
• Postural and movement imbalance
• Digestive discomfort & breathing restrictions
• Chronic stress, fatigue, and nervous system overload
• Injury recovery and post-surgical healing

This treatment is gentle, corrective, and deeply restorative—helping your body return to the way it was meant to move, breathe, and function.

John Kim is the founder of SUUM CLINIC and a practitioner who integrates Acupuncture and Osteopathic Manual Practice to help people move, breathe, and live with better balance. While he is deeply dedicated to clinical work, his approach remains warm, personal, and grounded in real-life experience.

John previously trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing, disciplines that taught him body awareness, resilience, and the importance of healthy movement. These days, he enjoys running and hiking, staying connected to nature, and keeping his body active in gentler, sustainable ways.

Outside of the clinic, John loves music—listening, singing, and participating in choir whenever he can. Music has always been a meaningful part of his life and a source of emotional renewal.

John also values giving back to the community. He has volunteered in Georgia (the country), providing acupuncture for underserved villages, and spent a full year offering regular care to Indigenous communities in Duncan. He continues to look for opportunities to volunteer, believing that healing should be accessible and shared.

Whether in the clinic or in the community, John’s mission is simple: to understand each person as unique, and to support healing with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
