Dr. Joowhye Nam
Meet Dr. Joowhye Nam
As a child, Dr. Joowhye Nam endured a long list of chronic health issues—headaches, sinus problems, runny noses, asthma, skin conditions, and severe allergic reactions were part of daily life. Despite visiting numerous doctors and trying various medications, she constantly felt unwell. Eventually, she realized that even taking two painkillers a day wasn’t enough to get her through.
Dr. Nam was first introduced to chiropractic care by a professor while studying Sports Medicine at KyungHee University in South Korea. She was immediately drawn to the philosophy that the body has the innate ability to heal itself when there is no interference in the nervous system. This discovery ignited her passion and ultimately led her to the United States in 2006 to pursue a career in chiropractic.
She went on to study at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she received a variety of general chiropractic adjustments. While these treatments offered temporary relief, her symptoms would inevitably return.
It wasn’t until her roommate introduced her to NUCCA—the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association—that things began to change. Unlike the conventional adjustments she had experienced, NUCCA offered a gentle, precise, and specific approach without any cracking or popping. After her first correction, Dr. Nam was astonished by the results. Her symptoms not only disappeared, but her overall energy levels improved dramatically.
That transformative experience inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others through NUCCA care. Dr. Nam is deeply committed to ongoing education and professional development, continually advancing her knowledge to better serve her patients.
At NuLife Chiropractic in Beverly Hills, Dr. Nam offers NUCCA care to individuals seeking to regain or discover a healthier, more balanced life. For some, it’s a return to wellness they once knew; for others, it’s a new beginning.
