CALee Acupuncture · Buena Park, CA

Sciatica. Neuropathy.
Chronic Pain.

Korean acupuncture rooted in constitutional diagnosis. Not a standard protocol — a treatment built around your specific pattern.

When conventional treatment isn't enough — Most patients arrive after physical therapy, medication, or injections provided only partial relief. If your pain persists, has lasted more than a few weeks, or keeps returning, a different diagnostic lens may be what's needed.

You Might Be a Good Fit If…

Signs this approach may help

Pain lasting 3+ weeks

Acute pain that hasn't resolved, or chronic pain that keeps returning despite treatment.

PT or medication didn't hold

You got better, then it came back. Or it only partially improved.

Symptoms don't fit one diagnosis

Pain plus sleep issues plus digestion plus fatigue — multiple things happening at once.

Nerve involvement

Burning, tingling, or numbness — especially in hands, feet, or along the sciatic nerve.

Managing multiple conditions

Older adults dealing with hypertension, diabetes, cognition, and pain simultaneously.

Looking for a different approach

You want to understand why — not just get a treatment and see what happens.

Treatment Options

All services include constitutional assessment

New Patient? Here's what to expect.

Your first visit begins with a thorough intake — health history, pulse and tongue diagnosis, and constitutional assessment. Treatment is planned around your pattern, not just the chief complaint. Many patients combine consultation and first treatment on the same day.

Why Korean Acupuncture Is Different

Standard acupuncture protocols treat the symptom. Korean acupuncture — rooted in Sasang and Eight Constitution Medicine — treats the constitutional pattern behind the symptom.

Two patients with identical diagnoses receive different treatments. Point selection, number of needles, and technique are all determined by who you are, not what your chart says.

Still deciding? Most patients who come to CALee have already tried physical therapy, pain medication, or injections — and either saw partial improvement or had symptoms return. If that sounds familiar, one visit is usually enough to find out if this approach fits your case.
