Alternative medicine: Getting their point across

Expansion plans for the acupuncture school at Kyung San University are helping to meet the growing demand in O.C. for alternative medicine.
Hyeong Soo Jin walked into Kyung San University on Monday with a sore shoulder and stiff neck. As he lay shirtless on the exam table, Jin relaxed as Elizabeth Ohm tapped tiny needles into his hands, feet, shoulder blades and neck. It felt like a mild electric shock, said Jin, who didn’t flinch when the needles went in. Jin, a 54-year-old Buddhist monk from Los Angeles, occasionally receives acupuncture treatment from Ohm, a doctor of Asian medicine and president of Kyung San. Before Ohm inserted the needles, she quizzed a student on where she should stick them. The student handed her the correct needle and then threw them away a few minutes later when she pulled them out of Jin’s body. A smiling Jin stood up, rolled his head and said the pain was gone.
