Seung Park, L.Ac.
Orthopedic Acupuncture, Dry Needling & Pain Relief
Seung Park is a licensed acupuncturist in Long Island City focused on orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletal pain, and sports-related injuries. His background as a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer, along with yoga teacher training, informs how he addresses pain patterns, restricted movement, and functional limitations.
Clinical Focus
Many patients Seung works with are active professionals, athletes, and performers whose pain is interfering with training, work, or daily life.
Some are recovering from an injury. Others are dealing with pain, tightness, or restricted movement that has built gradually through training load, repetitive strain, posture, or daily stress on the body.

Approach to Care
Seung begins by understanding the patient’s current symptoms, health history, and how the problem is affecting movement, work, training, or daily life. His approach considers how posture, work demands, activity levels, and training load may be contributing to pain, restricted movement, or functional limitations.
That context helps make treatment more precise. His sessions use acupuncture and dry needling to address restricted and overactive muscles contributing to pain and limited movement. He works in layers — treating the painful area directly, the adjacent muscles that may be feeding into it, and more distant areas that influence how load moves through the body.
More than 20 years in hands-on care, bodywork, and movement — including acupuncture, licensed massage therapy, personal training, and yoga instruction — shapes how he recognizes patterns of tension, restriction, and compensation across the body.
Treatment adapts as recovery moves through its phases. Early on, the focus is reducing pain and restoring mobility. As symptoms settle, treatment shifts toward supporting the body as it rebuilds load tolerance, strength, coordination, and ease with movement.
Recovery also depends on factors beyond the injury itself. Sleep and stress can affect pain sensitivity, tissue tolerance, and how well the body recovers between sessions, so when they are relevant, Seung accounts for them as part of recovery.
The goal is to help patients return to what they do — meeting the demands of work and daily life, returning to training, or getting back to performance with less pain and limitation.
