The PRM Method
Diagnosis first. Treatment second. Function always.
PRM does not start with a procedure menu. Dr. Kim looks for the real cause of your pain and builds a treatment path around your body, your goals, and the life you want back.
Regenerative medicine, decompression, guided procedures, diagnostics, laser, and rehabilitation.
Walk, sleep, climb stairs, work, play with family, and move with growing confidence.
Care map
Find the path that matches what you are feeling.
Pain can start in one place and show up somewhere else. PRM helps you connect the symptoms, possible source, and treatment options that make sense for your body.
Back PainBack pain treatment in Cedar Rapids without jumping straight to surgery.
Back pain can come from discs, joints, nerves, muscles, compensation, or a combination of patterns. PRM starts by clarifying the source.
Neck PainNeck pain care that starts with the reason it is happening.Neck pain may involve joints, discs, nerves, posture, muscle tension, or referred symptoms. The plan depends on what is driving the pattern.
SciaticaSciatica care that looks beyond the symptom.Radiating leg pain often points to nerve irritation, but the source still needs to be clarified before choosing the right path.
Herniated or Bulging DiscDisc pain care before you commit to a bigger step.A disc diagnosis does not automatically mean surgery. PRM helps patients understand what the disc is doing and what options may fit.
Knee PainKnee pain care for patients who want to stay active.Knee pain may involve cartilage, tendons, ligaments, arthritis, mechanics, inflammation, or prior injury.
Hip PainHip pain care that considers the whole movement pattern.Hip pain can come from the hip joint itself, surrounding soft tissue, the spine, or movement compensation.
Shoulder PainShoulder pain care for motion, strength, and daily function.Shoulder pain may involve tendons, joint irritation, nerve symptoms, or movement restrictions that need a clear plan.
Tendon and Ligament InjuriesTendon and ligament care built around healing and function.PRM evaluates tissue injury, load tolerance, pain pattern, and activity goals before recommending next steps.
