Dr. Dongwon Jahng (DJ), DPT, LAc, CSCS

In 1992, Dr. Jahng’s career as a walk-on wide-receiver for the UCLA football team was cut unexpectedly short. An injury sidelined him for the season and ultimately, the remainder of his collegiate years.  It was this experience that led Dr. Jahng to pursue a career in physical therapy. 

Having endured the physical, mental and emotional pain of losing his athletic dreams, Dr. Jahng dedicated his professional career to help others reach full recovery through the most advanced physical therapy treatments and techniques.  He set out to provide a personal, holistic approach to rehabilitation so that no one else would have to abandon their dreams.

Dr. Jahng began his career in physical therapy in 1996 with the UCLA Sports Medicine program.  Upon graduating from UCLA, he received his doctoral degree in physical therapy at the University of Southern California, the highest nationally ranked program at the time.  In addition to receiving his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), Dr. Jahng became a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and pursued a three-year intensive course on advanced mobilization techniques.

Raised in a family that practiced Eastern Medicine, Dr. Jahng combines the best of Western and Eastern medicine to help his patients rehabilitate fully and quickly.  His exposure and interest in acupuncture, herbal supplementation, and the science behind holistic medicine led him to further his studies in Eastern Medicine.  In 2006, Dr. Jahng received his Masters degree in Oriental Medicine from Kyungsan University with magna cum laude distinctions.
