About Dr. Sohn

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.

What We Treat

Conditions we specialize in

Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific pattern — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

01

IBS & Digestive Health

Targeted acupuncture for irritable bowel syndrome, including IBS-C, IBS-D, and mixed presentations. We address gut–brain coordination rather than symptoms alone.

02

Chronic Bloating

Persistent abdominal bloating that doesn’t respond to dietary changes often has a nervous system component. Dr. Sohn’s approach targets the regulatory patterns underlying it.

03

Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Acupuncture can calm the nervous system and reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety and panic symptoms — without reliance on medication alone.

04

Insomnia & Sleep

Difficulty falling or staying asleep is often rooted in stress and systemic imbalance. Treatment focuses on restoring your body’s natural sleep rhythm.

05

Herbal Medicine

Classical Chinese herbal formulas, individually prescribed, to support and extend the effects of acupuncture treatment between sessions.

06

Pain & Musculoskeletal

Support for chronic pain, sciatica, and musculoskeletal conditions using gentle, targeted acupuncture techniques.

Digestive Health Focus

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. Many patients notice meaningful changes within several weeks of consistent treatment.

This approach may be right for you if:

Bloating most days
Normal tests, ongoing symptoms
Constipation (IBS-C)
Diarrhea (IBS-D)
Stress-triggered flares
Unpredictable digestion
How does acupuncture help IBS?
Research suggests acupuncture influences the enteric nervous system and can reduce visceral hypersensitivity — the heightened gut sensitivity common in IBS — while also calming stress-response pathways that trigger flares.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients start with weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks. Dr. Sohn will give you a clear treatment outline at your first visit based on your specific pattern and history.
Do you combine herbal medicine with acupuncture?
For digestive conditions, herbal formulas often complement acupuncture significantly. Dr. Sohn will recommend herbal support when clinically appropriate and explain the reasoning.
I’ve tried other treatments — is this different?
Dr. Sohn’s approach is pattern-based, not symptom-based. Rather than suppressing individual symptoms, treatment aims to restore the underlying regulatory balance that keeps symptoms from returning.
Patient Experiences

What our patients say

★★★★★

After three years of IBS with no answers, Dr. Sohn was the first practitioner who seemed to truly understand the pattern behind my symptoms. Within six weeks I was finally sleeping through the night and my digestion had calmed significantly.

★★★★★

I came in for chronic bloating and anxiety. Dr. Sohn explained the connection between my nervous system and digestion in a way that finally made sense. I’ve recommended him to everyone in my family.

— Patient, Hillsboro OR
★★★★★

The herbal formula Dr. Sohn prescribed alongside my acupuncture sessions made a real difference. My constipation has improved more in two months here than in years of other treatments.
