Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Uni Clinic different?
Dr. Shin, MD, is the only neurologist that incorporates JB Therapy techniques to treat his patients.
You have the option of both Eastern and Western medicine.
Access to a neurologist who knows Eastern medicine including acupuncture.
Surgery is the absolute last resort.
No narcotics and no medication are the main goals of the treatment plan.
During the first visit, you will undergo an extensive exam of 45-60 minutes using Eastern and Western techniques and almost always will experience immediate relief of pain and decrease of symptoms.
You will be educated on what they can do to improve yourself at home.
You will learn about the imbalances in your body, and you can take charge of your own health.
Patients learn how to manage their stress or deal with previous trauma.
Follow-up visits are typically 30-40 minutes.
Why not Surgery?
Most of the time, surgery can be prevented with the treatment provided in this clinic.
Some patients experience permanent pain relief after surgery; however, there is a risk. Surgery should truly be a last resort, as there is a chance you could end up worse off afterwards. Also, success rates are not very high: many procedures have less than a 50% chance of success. Not only is it painful, surgeries have a long recovery time. Also, it is very expensive.
How about Nerve Blocks/Spinal Injections?
These procedures do not solve the cause of your health problems. These kinds of procedures are short acting, have side effect, and have high costs. If you know the root cause of the pain, usually an internal organ imbalance/weakness, you don’t need these procedures.
For example, if you have severe left shoulder pain, without treating your weak or imbalanced heart your shoulder pain cannot be healed completely, and the pain will come back sooner or later. Therefore, both shoulder and heart issues have to be taken care of and our clinic can do this.
What is Acupuncture? How does it work?
Acupuncture systems are rooted in the concept of healing the body by balancing the internal organs and meridians. Acupuncture works on the energy in your body by harmonizing the flow of Qi through the main energetic pathways of the body. Quantum physics has verified that our entire material world is comprised of energy, as is the human body. Acupuncture is unique because it is one of the few therapies that can manipulate the flow of energy in the body and mind to produce a therapeutic effect. In acupuncture theory, until chronic health conditions are addressed on the energetic level, the root cause or problem will remain.
You may feel a momentary prick as the needle is inserted, and/or a dull pressure or tingling around the area during the treatment. Most people are amazed at how relaxed they feel during and after the treatment (often, clients fall asleep of nap during the treatment!). This can only occur if the treatment is comfortable and gentle.
Bruises can occur if you who have a liver imbalance or take aspirin/other blood thinners.
Does Acupuncture hurt? Are there any side effects?
Then, what JB therapy?
In addition to acupuncture concepts, our methods incorporate the Fractal pattern: energy wave principle, seesaw balancing, faucet phenomenon, and pagoda piling pattern. Therefore, more powerful and fine-tuning is possible and make our techniques much more powerful than a typical acupuncture treatment. We call it JB therapy, named after the founder’s initials. Our technique remotely treats problem areas by stimulating extremities: usually arms, forearms, and hands. Tiny disposable needle similar in thickness to hair can be applied those areas. These treatments are not invasive, and it is very safe.
Can JB Therapy treat patients who are afraid of needles?
No problem at all. For somebody who has needle-phobia, we can use tiny ‘wave balls’ which has the same or better effects than that of needles.
Almost all types of pain and most medical conditions can be successfully treated with our techniques. To name a few: migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, sciatica, arthritis, bone pain, disc pain, phantom-limb pain, chest pain, racing heart, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, poor sleep, anxiety, diabetic symptoms, eye symptoms, pre-menstrual symptoms, post-menopause symptoms, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, abdominal pain, etc.
What types of pain or conditions does JB therapy treat?
Although there are no clinical studies at this point in time, more than 200+ acupuncturists who have learned JB therapy prefer to use it for diagnosis and treatment purposes rather than use “pre-existing” acupuncture techniques. For specific cases, we reference existing acupuncture research papers.
Are there any clinical studies on JB therapy?
