What is ChimDo?

Modern Chimdo is a special type of acupuncture needle that is minimally invasive.

It uses a specialized needle that combines acupuncture with a miniature scalpel function.

In the procedure, precise points of puncture that relate to adhesions on soft tissue are identified.

A specialized, miniature scalpel is used to create small micro-cuts in the muscle or tissue releasing tension.

Chimdo works well in conditions of soft tissue adhesions, scar tissue, and chronic muscle contractions causing blockage of nerve and blood vessels.

Procedure

1. Pinpoint Treatment Area

Finds tight or stuck tissues that block blood vessels, lymph, or nerves—ultrasound may be used

2. Double Disinfection

Cleans the skin with iodine and alcohol.

3. Release and Stimulate

Uses a micro-cut to separate problem tissues, restore circulation, and promote healing.

  • Yes. When performed by a certified ChimDo provider, it is a safe, controlled procedure with a low risk of side effects. We use guided ultrasound to safely target areas with precision.

  • In many cases, it takes 2-4 sessions. However, chronic conditions may take between 8 - 12 sessions over 3 months.

  • For cuts less than 2 mm, scar tissues do not typically form. Given that the needles used in ChimDo procedures are generally between 0.35 mm and 0.6 mm in diameter, the procedure does not result in the formation of scar tissue.

  • By inserting needles slowly and by using precise ultrasound guidance, we can avoid puncturing or injuring major blood vessels or nerves. Additionally, the needle size is unlikely to puncture or damage major nerves or blood vessels.

“My right arm goes numb with tingling down to my fingers (-thumbs) every night, often waking me up in the middle of the night. I’ve done PT and exercise on and off, especially at it’s worse. It helped but would always come back. A friend recommended Dr. Ahn and I received instant relief after the first treatment with minimal numbing during the day. For the first time in over 20 years I slept through the night without waking up due to numbing or tingling!!!”

Jeannie,

Neck disc pain & pinched nerves

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative care I received at Silverlake Clinic. The doctor uses an innovative approach of his own, which I believe exists nowhere else. In just one hour, he achieved what can take years in other cases. My neck and spine feel alive and free of pain, with major spasms gone and a remarkable improvement in range of motion.
