Acupuncture doctor in Beaverton

Kihyon Sohn is a licensed acupuncture doctor in Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, OR. At Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM), he earned a master’s degree (MAcOM). He enrolled in a doctoral degree program at the same college to quench his thirst for more knowledge. He obtained the title of Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM). He wrote “Journey into Korean Moxibustion” for his Capstone project.

What motivated Dr. Sohn to pursue the path

He first came into contact with east Asian medicine in Korea. His late mother’s stroke prompted him to search for a treatment option. He desired to improve her on his own. As a result, he set out to learn how to use acupuncture to treat her. Fortunately, he got the opportunity to learn about a novel therapeutic method that combined Korean acupuncture with moxibustion.

It was created by Dr. Namsoo Kim (Gudang) during the course of his many years of clinical expertise. The method emphasizes holistic treatments to boost energy and restore the body’s inherent healing abilities. It’s effective for a variety of ailments.

Korean four-needle technique, Saam acupuncture

His acupuncture skills are based on the Korean four-needle technique known as Saam Acupuncture, which he studied in Korea before moving to the US. He also had the opportunity to learn with Korean doctors practicing Pulse Regulating Acupuncture Technique in California. The method includes adjusting pulses to cure diseases.

Dr. Sohn uses Korean acupuncture to treat his patients. Beaverton, Portland, Tigard, Vancouver, Lake Oswego, and other cities are included in his service area. According to pulse presentations, he works with energy channels called meridians. Patients attain physical harmony and find his treatments to be effective. He also provides herbal medicine to speed up the healing process.

Herbal medicine in Beaverton

Dr. Sohn collaborates with Korean doctors to study herbal medicine. He prescribes traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years. In comparison to modern herbal preparations, it proves to be more effective. In picking applicable formulations, he used a unique method established by a Korean doctor. Dr. Sohn prescribes granules based on the patient’s diagnosis.

Journal articles

He had the following two publications published in journals:

1. A case Study: Treatment of Acute Pain of Shoulder, Neck and Upper Back with Combination of Acupuncture and Direct Moxibustion

2. Case Report: Treatment of Calcific Tendinitis of the Shoulder with Direction Moxibustion

He contributes to the International Journal of Chinese Medicine (IJCM) as a reviewer.

Community outreach

Dr. Sohn, an acupuncture doctor in Beaverton, enjoys employing Korean acupuncture, herbal medicine and moxibustion to treat patients. For a couple of years, he offered free acupuncture and moxibustion treatments to those who could not afford medical care in Asia. He’s still interested in helping out in a few communities.

I started seeing Dr. Sohn in late January with variety of complaints related to COVID Long Hauler. I have enjoyed working with Dr. Sohn because he used a combination of herbal and acupuncture to treat me. My problems have not been easy to treat, but he has listened to me and adjusted my treatment accordingly. I am now seeing improvement! Thank you Dr. Sohn.

I got a referral for Dr. Sohn from a friend. I made an appointment with him because I had lingering hip pain, due to an injury to my hip, that was slow to resolve after nearly 4 months. I was skeptical, but I wanted to try anything to resolve the pain so that I could return to my normal activities, especially hiking. I have seen Dr. Sohn 3 times and my hip is already a lot better. Today, I want on a long hike with very steep inclines and I had no pain at all. Dr. Sohn is also very kind and gentle. I think he is very thorough as well. I highly recommend Dr. Sohn.

If you’re looking for an amazing Acupuncturist do yourself a favor and try Dr Kihyon Sohn in Beaverton. I have been suffering from Long Covid for over a year with shortness of breath, etc. My wife is Korean and suggested I try Acupunture so she asked around at the Korean market and was given his name. He is not only a very kind and thoughtful man but he obviously knows what he is doing. His treatments have really helped. He goes the extra mile and really wants to help you get better and you can feel this with every visit. He also mixes Chinese Herbal Meds for you. I didn’t know at the time but later found that his prices are quite reasonable. I also like that his office is convenient to reach and park.

I’ve gone to Dr. Sohn twice for my back pain and I’m already beginning to feel better! Dr. Sohn listens to my problems very sincerely and determines how placement of the needs would be best. His knowledge of the body and his treatment Acupuncture protocol have been extremely beneficial to me and have resulted in both temporary and more permanent improvement of my symptoms. He is very nice and professional as well.

Hello, I have been to this place twice. I went in because my face was a disaster. It was dry, and there was redness showing. But, my first time going, Doctor Sohn was friendly and helping me with what needs to be helped with. I got acupunctures done and I already felt better! Before going into my second appointment, you can already tell a difference. The problem was with the foods that I was eating. A lot of the foods that I eat have dairy in it and have noticed that it is not right for me. So I stopped and it really helped. When I went in the second time, Doctor Sohn had noticed that I had gotten a lot better within the two weeks. I got prescribed herb medicine and currently taking it. I am feeling a lot better than before and really recommend for those that might be having health issues. If you don’t want to get prescribed steroids from a hospital but, want something natural, I really recommend going to a herb doctor like Doctor Sohn.
