The foot sets the foundation
How you strike the ground travels up through the ankle, knee, hip, and low back. A collapsed arch or a bad heel changes the whole chain.
Chiropractor + Board-Certified Podiatrist
Feet first.
Whole body, aligned.
Chiropractor and Podiatrist in Clifton, NJ
Dr. Hyunjae Lee is a rare kind of doctor: a chiropractor and a board-certified podiatrist. Your heel pain, your gait, and your spine get read as one connected story, and treated by one pair of hands.

The Pineapple Difference
Most foot pain does not start, or end, at the foot.
A podiatrist sees the foot. A chiropractor sees the spine. When one person is both, the gap in the middle stops being someone else’s problem. That gap is where a lot of stubborn pain actually lives.
The spine sets the posture
Alignment above changes the load below. Treating the back without the feet, or the feet without the back, often means treating half the problem.
One doctor connects them
Dr. Lee diagnoses and treats both ends of the same system, so the plan fits the whole body instead of a single sore spot.

“I do not hand your feet to one doctor and your back to another. They are the same patient.”
Dr. Hyunjae Lee, DC, DPM
Dr. Lee earned his Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College and his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, and he is board certified in podiatric medicine. He treats patients in English and Korean, and he built this practice around a simple idea: whole-body results come from treating the foot and the spine together.
