Meet Your Care Team

Two dedicated chiropractors, advanced technology, and a patient-first philosophy — all in the heart of Koreatown since 2008.

Lead Chiropractor

Dr. Bokyoung Sim, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic · 심보경 원장

Dr. Bokyoung Sim founded Wilshire Center Chiropractic in 2008 with a clear vision: provide Koreatown with the same caliber of advanced spinal care found at top rehabilitation centers — but with the personal attention of a neighborhood practice. Fluent in both English and Korean, Dr. Sim has built a reputation as the go-to chiropractor for auto accident recovery and complex spinal conditions across Los Angeles.

Her approach combines precise diagnostics with proven technology. Using SpineMED spinal decompression — one of only a handful of units in LA — Dr. Sim has helped hundreds of patients avoid surgery for herniated discs, bulging discs, and chronic sciatica. She believes in diagnosing the root cause first, then building a treatment plan that delivers measurable progress at every visit.
