Our Treatments
Before treatment, the doctor looks at your tongue and feels your pulse — just like checking your heartbeat. The color, shape, and feel of these give clues about what's going on inside your body.
Super-thin, clean needles are gently placed at specific spots on your body. They're thinner than a hair and most people barely feel them. They help reduce pain and wake up your body's own healing power.
Small cups are placed on your skin and create a gentle suction — like a reverse massage. This boosts blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and helps your body flush out waste. You might get temporary red marks, which is totally normal!
Ever seen a doctor use a small hammer to tap your spine? That's Golta Chuna! The doctor uses a special medical hammer to gently tap along your spine and joints. The vibration travels deep into the bones and tissue — helping to realign your spine, loosen stiff joints, and relieve pain. It sounds intense but most people find it surprisingly relaxing!
A special needle with a tiny blade tip is used to break apart tight, knotted tissue that causes long-term pain. It's also combined with a natural herbal injection directly into the painful spot for faster relief.
Did you know your ear has pressure points that connect to your whole body? Tiny needles or small seeds are placed on your ear to help with pain, stress, sleep problems, and even ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Herbal Medicine
Each formula is a time-tested blend of Korean medicinal herbs — carefully prepared and prescribed by Dr. Jeong based on your individual body type and condition.
All herbal formulas are prescribed by Dr. Jeong Soo-A based on your individual consultation.

이명 클리닉
At SOOA, tinnitus isn't just "ringing in your ears" — we figure out why it's happening through traditional tongue diagnosis, classify it into one of four constitutional patterns, and create a treatment plan made just for you — using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and jaw therapy.
진단 방법
The tongue can tell us a lot about what's going on inside your body. By looking at its color, coating, and shape, we can determine the underlying constitutional imbalance causing your tinnitus — before a single needle is placed.
Tongue Zone Mapping · 설진 오장 배속
4가지 이명 유형
Tinnitus accompanied by anxiety, palpitations, insomnia, and a red tongue tip. Excess heat rises to the ears, causing high-pitched ringing.
Low-pitched, intermittent tinnitus with fatigue, poor memory, and a pale tongue. Heart blood deficiency fails to nourish the ear.
Sudden, loud tinnitus worsened by stress or anger, with headache and a red tongue with yellow coating. Liver fire flares upward to the ears.
Chronic, quiet tinnitus with blurred vision, dry eyes, and a pale or red tongue without coating. Liver blood deficiency deprives the ear of nourishment.
턱관절과 이명
A frequently overlooked cause of tinnitus is TMJ (temporomandibular joint) imbalance. When the jaw joint is misaligned, it can compress the trigeminal nerve — the largest cranial nerve, which shares pathways with the auditory system.
This compression creates referred signals perceived as ringing, buzzing, or pressure in the ears. At SOOA, we assess jaw alignment as part of every tinnitus consultation and offer integrated TMJ treatment alongside acupuncture and herbal therapy.

치료 접근법
침 + 약침
Each session combines traditional acupuncture with our patent-registered pharmacopuncture (Patent No. 10-2913223) — a proprietary PDRN PL complex derived from salmon, pollen, and lactoferin with proven anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and stem cell regeneration effects. Injected at key auditory and constitutional acupoints for both immediate relief and long-term rebalancing.
전용 한약
Custom herbal prescriptions formulated to your constitutional tinnitus pattern — addressing the root imbalance from within. Taken daily alongside acupuncture treatment for synergistic effect.
턱관절 · IBA
TMJ acupuncture with pharmacopuncture to relieve trigeminal nerve compression, combined with the IBA (Intraoral Balancing Appliance) — a custom jaw-balancing device that corrects structural misalignment for lasting relief.
New Treatment · 수아침 (SOOA CHIM)
Want better skin? The secret starts at your feet, not your face. Rooted in the Stomach Meridian (Stomach Meridian), our whole-body cosmetic acupuncture works from the lower leg all the way up to your face. By treating the whole pathway, your facial muscles naturally lift, tighten, and glow.
How Does It Work?
The Stomach Meridian (Stomach Meridian) is the longest yang meridian on the body — running from the face, down through the collarbone, chest, abdomen, thigh, knee, and all the way to the tibialis anterior muscle of the lower leg.
Muscle Chain Connection
"By stimulating the full length of the Stomach Meridian — from ST36 at the shin to ST1 at the face — we activate the entire fascial chain, restoring tone and lift to the skin naturally."
