Performance Chiropractic & Sports Care

I work as a salesman that commutes from the Foothills to the Bay Area on a regular basis. Too many hours of sitting has made my sciatic painful and ruined my relaxation. The pain was getting worse every trip and I saw no end in sight, sitting was excruciatingly painful. My wife had been recommended to go to Dr. Yong KIm by a friend that had received ART care and ridded of her chronic pain. That is a story for another time. My wife's pain was relieved after a few visits (another story for another time) so she recommended I go to Dr Kim. I thought the pain I was having was from my back, based on other chiropractic visits in the Placerville area. Dr. Kim stretched and moved and adjusted my sciatic nerve and I had relief after the first visit. It is truly remarkable, my pain has gone away. I make it a practice to go in for "tune-ups" and have been in great shape for years now. My mobility is significantly improved so much that tasks I had stopped doing are again available to me. Thank you Dr. Yong Kim and Performance Chiropractic & Sports Care, the ART you have performed on me is the best ever. Mark A. Cunningham

Im giving this review because of the excellent experience I have had at Performance Chiropractic and Sports Care. It all started with the diagnosis of scoliosis in my early teenage years. My back specialist told me there was nothing he could do, and as I got older, the scoliosis would get worse and I would eventually need surgery. That was not the answer I was hoping for. After a year of going to see Dr. Kim at Performance chiropractic and sports care, to my surprise, my scoliosis hadnt progressed even a little bit. The pain in my back became more tolerable, and I was in less day to day pain. Now its been about 5 years and I can thankfully say my scoliosis hasnt gotten any worse, all thanks to Dr. Kim. My story doesnt end there though, that was just the beginning for me. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with severe Chiari Malformation. Shortly after, I had to have intense brain surgery, which turned out to make my symptoms worse due to the surgery being done incorrectly. During that year after surgery, I couldnt even sit in a chair for longer than 30 minutes without being in excruciating pain. I couldnt sleep at night, and my neck pain was unbearable. Pain medication wouldnt help, and I felt very disappointed. Dr. Kim was the only doctor who could help me with my pain. The ART (active release technique) that he does is much different than any other chiropractor. He didnt focus on cracking my neck, he actually focused on my muscles, and helped release all the tension built up in my neck. This helped with my migraines, my vertigo, my overall mobility, and my sleep. If he can help more than any pain medication can, I really suggest you give it a shot. He is so skilled at helping his patients, that with every appointment, he would always make sure I was feeling better than when I came in. If I didnt, he would keep working on me. He is a very kind doctor, and focuses on helping all his patients have a better quality of life. His treatments arent painful, and my muscles feel so much better afterwards. Im so thankful for Dr. Kim.

I've been seeing Dr. Kim for about a month now. When I first started coming in I couldn't stuff up of the ground and had extreme difficulty getting up out of my car or even off the couch. Dr. Kim has been able to figure out and pin point the problem. Through certain stretches and adjustments, I've been able to get up easier and pick up things of the ground. He is constantly learning new methods to actually help heal the back correctly and get people back out doing what they love. I highly recommend him to anyone with chronic pain.
