Care grounded in experience, guided by tradition
Dr. Kihyon Sohn is a licensed acupuncturist and Doctor of Oriental Medicine practicing in Beaverton, Oregon. With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Sohn brings deep expertise in treating chronic digestive conditions, including IBS, bloating, and constipation, as well as anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related illness.
His approach integrates classical acupuncture theory with modern understanding of the gut–brain axis — addressing the nervous system’s role in digestive dysfunction rather than just treating surface symptoms.
Many of Dr. Sohn’s patients come after years of normal test results and temporary relief. He focuses on identifying the underlying pattern behind your symptoms and building a clear, individualized treatment plan.

Conditions we specialize in
Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific pattern — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
IBS & Digestive Health
Targeted acupuncture for irritable bowel syndrome, including IBS-C, IBS-D, and mixed presentations.
Chronic Bloating
Persistent abdominal bloating that doesn’t respond to dietary changes often has a nervous system component.
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Acupuncture can calm the nervous system and reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety and panic symptoms.
Insomnia & Sleep
Difficulty falling or staying asleep is often rooted in stress and systemic imbalance.
Herbal Medicine
Classical Chinese herbal formulas, individually prescribed, to support and extend the effects of acupuncture.
Pain & Musculoskeletal
Support for chronic pain, sciatica, and musculoskeletal conditions using gentle, targeted techniques.
IBS treatment that looks at why — not just what
Most patients with IBS have had extensive testing that comes back normal. That’s because IBS is typically a problem of regulation — how the gut and nervous system communicate — rather than a structural or infectious condition.
Dr. Sohn’s digestive care focuses on calming the gut–brain axis, restoring rhythmic digestive function, and reducing sensitivity in the enteric nervous system.
