About Yongseok Lee
Welcome to LYS Acupuncture.
I am Yongseok Lee, a Licensed Acupuncturist in New York and a certified Korean Medicine Doctor. My approach to care is firmly rooted in evidence-based medicine. I believe in seamlessly integrating modern medical science with traditional clinical practices to provide the safest and most effective treatments for my patients.
I specialize in addressing musculoskeletal disorders through a rigorous, objective process, utilizing thorough pre- and post-treatment evaluations to clearly demonstrate and track your clinical progress. By integrating specialized techniques such as dry needling and electroacupuncture, I precisely target and release deep muscular tension. This effective approach allows me to rapidly alleviate acute and chronic pain stemming from underlying structural imbalances.
I hold a Bachelor of Korean Medicine and a Master of Science in Preventive Korean Medicine from Daegu Haany University, alongside a Master’s in Translational Medicine from The City College of New York. This extensive and diverse background allows me to evaluate health conditions through both a holistic lens and a rigorous scientific perspective.
Located in the heart of the Flatiron district, my clinic is designed to be a calming and restorative space. Whether you are seeking rapid pain relief, stress management, or preventive wellness care, I am committed to delivering highly personalized treatments tailored to your unique health goals.
