Seung Park, MSTOM, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac.(NCBAHM)
Seung Park is a licensed acupuncturist with a clinical focus on orthopedic conditions and musculoskeletal pain — including back pain, sciatica, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip and knee dysfunction, and sports-related injury.
His approach integrates acupuncture with dry needling and pattern-based assessment to identify the source of pain and treat it directly. Before acupuncture, Seung spent over a decade as a licensed massage therapist, with additional training as a nationally certified personal trainer and yoga instructor — a background that directly informs how he evaluates posture, compensation patterns, and the muscular drivers of pain and restricted movement.
He is currently completing the Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification (SMAC) — a 250+ hour post-graduate program in orthopedic assessment, motor point needling, and postural and movement correction across the spine, shoulder, hip, and lower extremity.
Clinical training includes internships at Mount Sinai Beth Israel's Department of Integrative Medicine, NYU Lutheran Medical Center's Department of Neurology, and Housing Works Community Healthcare. He assisted in writing Massage Therapy: What It Is and How It Works (Milady, 2010) and has treated patients in New York and Geneva.
His patient base includes active professionals, competitive athletes, and performers — including cast members from Broadway productions such as The Lion King, Wicked, Alvin Ailey, and Chicago — whose conditions demand the same precision and functional recovery required in sports medicine.
Clinical Focus: orthopedic acupuncture, dry needling, back pain, sciatica, neck pain, shoulder pain, sports and training injury, musculoskeletal pain
