Something I see almost every single day in the clinic. 👇
A patient sits down. I ask where the pain is — and they point to their head. Behind the eyes. Sometimes the temples. Usually by the afternoon.
They've tried paracetamol. More water. Less screen time. It keeps coming back.
Here's what most of them don't realise until I show them on examination:
The headache isn't starting in the head. It's starting in the neck.
There's a specific type of headache called a cervicogenic headache — the joints, muscles and nerves in your upper neck refer pain directly into your skull. It can feel like pressure behind the eyes, tension across the forehead, or a dull ache on one side.
If you sit at a desk for most of the day — your neck is almost certainly contributing.
The giveaway signs:
👉 Headache that builds through the day
👉 Stiffness or tenderness at the base of your skull
👉 Pain that's worse on one side
👉 Headaches that come with neck tightness
This type of headache responds really well to chiropractic care and acupuncture. Both together work faster than either alone.
If this sounds familiar and you've just been putting up with it — come in and let's take a proper look. You don't have to just manage it.

Told you need surgery for spinal stenosis or a disc problem? Read this first. 👇
One of the most powerful tools in this clinic is something most people have never heard of — a flexion distraction table.
It looks like a regular chiropractic table. But it's segmented — and it moves. The table gently distracts the spine in a slow rhythmic motion while I guide the specific level that needs attention. The result is a gentle decompression of the disc and spinal canal, without any twisting, cracking, or high-velocity force.
What it does:
The distraction creates a small negative pressure inside the disc — a vacuum effect — that helps draw disc material back toward centre, reduces pressure on the nerve, and increases the space inside the spinal canal.
For spinal stenosis patients specifically, that last part is everything. Stenosis means the canal has narrowed. Flexion distraction helps open it back up — conservatively, gently, and effectively.
The myth I hear every week:
"I have stenosis — I just have to live with it until I need surgery."
This is one of the most common and most damaging beliefs I encounter. Spinal stenosis, disc bulges, and nerve compression respond very well to conservative care — particularly flexion distraction, which is specifically designed for these conditions and is one of the most researched non-surgical techniques available.
This technique is particularly useful for:
✅ Spinal stenosis
✅ Disc bulge or herniation
✅ Sciatica and referred leg pain
✅ Degenerative disc disease
✅ Patients who can't tolerate traditional adjustments
✅ Elderly patients needing a gentle approach
✅ Chronic lower back pain
✅ Post-surgical care
And for patients with significant nerve involvement or chronic inflammation, I often combine this with acupuncture — targeting the nervous system and soft tissue at the same time. The results are consistently faster than either approach alone.
If you or someone you know has been told surgery is the only option — or that you just have to manage it — please come in for a proper assessment first. There is often more that can be done than you've been told.

Hi West Ryde 👋
After nearly 10 years on Victoria Road, we're refreshing our presence and wanted to properly introduce ourselves to the community.
I'm Dr Don Kim — chiropractor and acupuncturist at TOP Chiropractic Acupuncture. What makes us a little different is that we offer both chiropractic care and acupuncture under one roof, giving you a more complete approach to recovery than either treatment alone.
Whether you're dealing with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, shoulder pain, or a sports injury — we'd love to help you get back to doing the things you love.
New patients are always welcome. Feel free to call, message us here, or book online at the link below. 🙏

Can Frost bite be fixed with Traditional oriental medicine? this is the title.

currently this was a controversial documentary in Korea. one of the patient has posted his experience in the blog and there was a debate whether the image is photoshopped. he has been to 2 hospitals only to hear that he may need partial amputation of the toes. I wouldn't blame the doctors who announced it.
who wouldn't !!! looking at this pictures !! they are real !!! not photoshopped !!! the tissues are totally destructed and no hope of reviving as in anatomical & physiological context.

Anyway someone who had frost bite and got fixed, gave him the phone number of the acupuncturist. (not just him...but few others got fixed!!! even person who had frostbite in the face and ears got fixed!! check it out!! u wont believe it!!)

you are going to have to amputate it anyway why not try it before cutting it off? this was how he started the acupuncture treatment.

he has been given treatment 2 x per day with acupuncture/moxa/bleeding for several months. apparently the doctors been travelling to the hospital he was admitted and provided him 2 sessions per day because his clinic had no rooms for admission.... passionate acupuncturist!!! Anyway the picture at the bottom is the results that you see now.

you may think its still not scientific??? watch it!!
