Shekinah Health

Gina gives fantastic massages. She accidentally gave me 45min massage instead of 60, but they gave me a new appointment for 30min free. Really good service.
It is pretty hard to find if you have not been there before. You have to go into the door next to the nail salon and then go up the stairs.

I have been going to Dr. Kim for 6 years now and he is amazing! When I first walked into his office, I could not even hold a fork in my right hand, it was so sore and messed up. Within 10 minutes, I was pain free and he found the real problem in my neck and fixed that over the next several months. Really.
I am an artist and I make my living as a muralist. This requires the use of my hands and great physical burden upon my body. Dr. Kim has made my life and career better with regular acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. I simply could not thrive without him and his services.
The most kind and knowledgeable doctor I have ever seen. I highly recommend him.

Having suffered from migraine headaches for over 30 years, I had to decide if I want to continue to live like this or do something about it. I decided to do something about it. After much research and comparison I chose Dr. Kim. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He does acupuncture AND chiropractic. After my first visit I felt like I could fly. My husband also went to Dr. Kim as he has diabetic neuropathy in his feet. He felt much better after a few treatments. Dr. Kim is a nice man and a caring Dr. His goal is make his patients feel better. He had planned to make a trip out of the country but one of his patients was having severe headaches, he needed to treat her daily so he canceled his trip. He treats the condition, not the symptoms. He will not treat you until he has done a thorough assessment and knows exactly what he needs to treat and how he is going to treat it. I have referred many to Dr. Kim and have heard no complaints.

Dr. Kim and his staff are always so professional and friendly. Dr. Kim has helped me with my daily pain level. Thanks to his treatment my life is nearly pain free. He is a true healer.

Excellent care and terrific customer service. Recommended by doctors from Cedars Sinai and I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kim since they opened their offices in Westlake Village. He and staff are very friendly and scheduling is always accommodating. They maintain a clean well-​lit facility. I always seek Dr. Kim’s adjustment and acupuncture therapies to balance out my rigorous workouts. He is a gem!!!

Dr Kim is a healer and changed my life in such a positive way. His staff is friendly, the space is clean and calming and his prices are fair and competitive. If you are in any kind of pain, go see Dr. Kim, you’ll be glad you did!

Very caring staff thank you for alleviating my back pain! Helped with my sciatica and stomach issues. Will be going back soon

Shekinah Health is a blessing from God and all the Angels above! Dr. Kim is caring, knowledgable, professional and gifted with each treatment a patient receives under his guidance. His staff consisting of Jackie, Lily, Karen and Rochelle are accessible and helpful with any need or concern a client may have with health issues. Dr. Kim’s expertise in either chiropractic or acupuncture is outstanding and he knows how to get to the core of a bodily issue quickly and effectively. The combination of chiropractic and acupuncture works to serve one’s body in a cohesive manner and overall healing. Choosing Shekinah Health would be a smart choice for your well being!

I have been going to chiropractors for 20 years. Then I found Dr. Kim about a year ago. Located in the office building at The Promenade. This is a much more gentle kind of chiropractic care. No sharp neck adjustments, a more methodical, one click at a time sort of adjustment. Dr Kim really listens and remembers what issues you are having and wants to find out the source. He doesn’t insist you stop your favorite activities, he manages care of your issues so you can enjoy your activities. His delivery of acupuncture care is great. He tells you what he is doing and makes sure your are ok. He doesn’t push care that isn’t necessary. He is genuinely interested in getting you in and out of the office efficiently and in better shape than before you arrived. I can say that I feel better every time I leave the office. His methods have provided very quick relief to neck, back, hip, and knee problems I have had. The staff is always terrific. Truly five star all around.

Dr Kim is awesome! I was having extreme pain in my lower back in addition to my sciatica was flaring up. I had been to numerous doctors and none of them could really help me to get rid of the pain. I originally found Dr. Kim from a groupon for acupuncture and once I met him he was able to take in house X-​rays of my back and help me to better understand what was causing my pain. Once he was able to see what was causing the pain he worked with me to make a plan for long term relief. Within a couple of months he was able to fully relieve me of the pain that I was having. Now I go to see Dr. Kim only for the occasional adjustment or acupuncture if needed. I have referred Dr. Kim to over 10 family and friends including my 83 year old grandmother and all of them said that he was able to help them tremendously. I would recommend him to anyone is having back or neck pain because he knows his stuff!

Excellent! I recommend this place to everyone! I love the experience. They helped me with my arm pain, I would definitely go back.

Dr. Kim is the best! I originally went to him for lower back pain. I had seen so many doctors, and no one could help me. Dr. Kim not only relieved my pain, but I have been pain free for more than a year now! Recently I decided to try acupuncture for my chronic anxiety, and now that is working, too! I am so grateful to Dr. Kim. He is a true healer and my quality of life is so much better now. I highly recommend Shekinah Health.

Written by Mike L. S.:
I suffer from fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain in the limbs), arthritis, so you can imagine that I would be very selective on who is treating my body.
Shekinah Health is, by far, the best chiropractic & acupuncture place in I’ve been to. Dr. Kim is very compassionate, patient and has a wealth of knowledge of both chiropractics and acupuncture, as I believe he is licensed in providing both treatments. In addition, for anyone with a cervical spine (neck) problems, you’re in great hands with Dr. Kim because he is sub-​specialized in treating the cervical spine, which is very important since many chiropractors are not licensed or sub-​specialized in cervical spine treatment and they significantly increase the chances of a chiropractic injury to a pre-​existing injury or by creating a new injury to your body.
Also, Dr. Kim’s acupuncture techniques are very therapeutically effective.
Furthermore, Shekinah Health provides true therapeutic massage therapy — from Swedish to Deep Tissue. And, since the massage therapy is at a doctor’s office, insurance companies, such as mine (Anthem Blue Cross), will provide coverage for the treatment, which you most likely wouldn’t get by going to those franchise/​chain massage places that don’t provide treatment under the supervision and training of an appropriate doctor.
The atmosphere there is very zen-​like, as there is very relaxing music playing in the waiting room and subtle tropical rainforest music in the acupuncture and massage rooms to help further relax your mind & body.
Now the icing on the cake, Shekinah Health accepts many insurance plans and the cost for his services are very affordable.
Try Shekinah Health first before trying any other similar treatments. You can’t go wrong with this place!

I always receive positive results from my visits!

Dr. Kim at Shekinah Health Chiropractic helped me with my neck. He was very thorough and professional. He was able to correct a problem with only one adjustment. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Kim and his staff are the best! I had never been to a chiropractor before and was albeit a bit skeptical. But I had been having really bad migraines for years and was ready to try anything. After the consultation and xrays, the very next day Dr. Kim had a tailored plan for improvement. And long story short. it worked! As opposed to taking medicine which only masks the pain, having my body aligned so it can fix itself just makes so much sense. He is very gentle with the adjustments but they work wonders and I always feel better immediately. I no longer get headaches every night, which has significantly improved my quality of life. I can’t thank them enough. Dr. Kim and his staff are just the nicest people ever. I would recommend Shekinah Health to anyone in a heartbeat!

Got a groupon so thought I’d check them out. First visit was ok but I could sense there were office «issues». Second visit was a nightmare! I prepaid for a acupuncture and hot stone massage but they booked me for chiro visit instead by mistake so they had to rearrange. I ended up being there almost two hours. Very rushed. One of worst massages ever. Person seemed competent enough but not equipped. I was forced to lay on cold plastic table with an ill-​fitting sheet that kept sliding off with no bolster under my feet to protect my lower back. Instead she put some random object that was hard and bumpy under my feet. Dr complained that I didn’t come back soon enough to benefit, but I had taken the first available appt. Get your facts straight before you insult a client, and maybe get a new front office person or a less confusing computer program. Not be going back.

Dr. Kim and the staff are amazing! I’m glad to have finally found someone who could take care of my back issues that I have had for over 5 years since having a car accident. I was a student when I got into a 4 car pile up and really couldn’t afford to get it taken care of. It recently got pretty bad about a year ago. My knees started hurting when playing sports, I could barely run for more than 10 minutes without feeling pain down my left leg, my back would have a clicking noise everytime I lifted my left leg. I was in denial for a long time until I couldn’t take it anymore.
Dr. Kim’s office and his staff was professional They saw me quickly and the clarity of the explanations was fantastic. The first visit was about 30 minutes for the consultation and the adjustments. The cool thing about Dr. Kim is that he asks you for permission to pray for you before treating you. I tell you I’m not a religious guy, but with that said, any higher power that can be channeled to help heal my back, I’ll take it. After the first adjustment, I felt a good improvement and after about 6, I feel almost as good as new. I can actually do exercises that I couldn’t because of the clicking in my back, knee pains are gone, I feel an inch taller and now am a much happier person.
As for the insurances, Dr. Kim ended up taking my insurance where the other chiropractor I had didn’t. If I had know that I would have sought him out sooner! He is quick, efficient and most importantly honest. I can’t say anymore than that. Thank you Dr. Kim and Staff!
