According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, there are 100 million Americans who battle chronic pain on a daily basis. That number is astounding, and being someone who endured the harsh consequences of chronic pain in my 30s, I decided to do something about it.
Hello, I am Dr. Yoon Hang Kim, and I am the developer of a chronic pain treatment modality, otherwise known as the Neuroanatomic Approach to Pain. Based just outside Atlanta, I am an integrative medicine specialist. Integrative medicine has a core philosophy of treating the whole person, including spirituality, emotional state, relationships, and lifestyle.
Years ago in my 30s, I developed severe and debilitating chronic pain. I tried every suggested modality within conventional medicine, including surgery, all of which failed me. After doing research, I developed my system: Neuroanatomic Approach to Pain. The transformation was incredible, and it completely restored my ability to function. Today, I utilize Neuroanatomic Approach to Pain to help others recover from severe pain and rediscover their happiness and functionality. Looking back, I realize that my own experience with severe, debilitating chronic pain gave me the unique insight I needed so that I can help people with chronic pain. Through my work I have recognized that chronic pain is a problem that can be dealt with, and it does not have to ruin lives or hamper the health of my patients.
Over time, I grew frustrated as I watched family members struggle with allopathic treatments for their autoimmune disorders. My frustration become inspiration, as I worked hard to develop another clinical expertise: treating autoimmune conditions such as Hashimotos thyroiditis, RA, lupus, fibromyalgia, respiratory allergies, and food allergies. My desire to help these loved ones inspired me to develop an Autoimmune Disease Reset program. It gives me great joy to say that this program is currently helping my family members and my patients cope with their ailments.
I believe in and practice integrative medicine because it expands my toolbox, the options for healing that I can offer my patients. However, after practicing all of these years, I realize that, fueled by a natural gift for problem solving and combined with tenacity and perseverance, my true calling is solving complex medical problems. A large majority of my patients have given up hope that anyone can find viable solutions for them. I derive a great deal of satisfaction from working with these patients and improving the quality of their lives. It is that personal connection with my patients that I seek, a partnership that is integral to the wellbeing of the people I work with. My staff members and I take these relationships seriously, and we work hard to forge a genuine, meaningful relationship with each of our patients. In our experience, these authentic connections are vital to patients health, and serve a big role in overall healing. Ultimately, we greatly value both the strengths of conventional medicine and the wisdom of complementary and alternate healing modalities.
