Dr. Kihyon Sohn offers individualized acupuncture and traditional herbal medicine in Beaverton, OR — with a clinical focus on IBS, chronic digestive conditions, anxiety, and whole-body wellness.
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.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific pattern — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Targeted acupuncture for irritable bowel syndrome, including IBS-C, IBS-D, and mixed presentations. We address gut–brain coordination rather than symptoms alone.
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.
Acupuncture can calm the nervous system and reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety and panic symptoms — without reliance on medication alone.
Difficulty falling or staying asleep is often rooted in stress and systemic imbalance. Treatment focuses on restoring your body’s natural sleep rhythm.
Classical Chinese herbal formulas, individually prescribed, to support and extend the effects of acupuncture treatment between sessions.
Support for chronic pain, sciatica, and musculoskeletal conditions using gentle, targeted acupuncture techniques.
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:
★★★★★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.
★★★★★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.
