Questions patients ask
Is neck adjustment safe?
When it follows a proper examination, cervical adjustment has a good safety record. Dr. Lee screens for risk factors first and uses lower-force techniques whenever that is the better choice.
Why do my fingers tingle?
Tingling in specific fingers often means a nerve root in the neck is irritated, commonly by a disc. The examination can usually tell which level is involved and whether imaging is needed.
Can you help with my headaches?
Headaches that start at the back of the head and are linked to neck stiffness often respond well to neck treatment and acupuncture. Other headache types may need a different evaluation.
Can I be treated in Korean?
Yes. Dr. Lee sees patients in Korean and English.
