His professional focus encompasses the intricate workings of the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves, employing a comprehensive, patient-centered approach that integrates cutting-edge, evidence-based techniques with empathetic care tailored to individual patient needs.

As a leader in the field of pain management, he expertly combines non-invasive methods with minimally invasive procedures to alleviate discomfort stemming from musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. He has a particular interest in lecturing, training and advancing minimally invasive treatments of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint.  He was instrumental in pioneering a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique designed to address and resolve tendon pain in critical areas such as the elbows, knees, Achilles tendons, and plantar fascia.

His interest in neuromodulation therapies extends to treating complex regional pain syndrome, post-surgical pain, and neuropathic pain. Notably, he was the first physician in Wisconsin to trial and implant a dorsal root ganglion neuromodulation system, underscoring his commitment to advancing innovative pain management solutions. He is a consultant to industry manufacturers to improve instrumentation and surgical techniques for utilization and treatment of patients. 

An accomplished researcher, Dr. Jung has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and is currently involved in a multi-center study examining a minimally invasive, percutaneous spine decompression device, which aims to enhance patient outcomes while minimizing the need for invasive surgeries. His dedication to exceptional patient care has earned him accolades such as the Compassionate Doctor Recognition and the Patient's Choice Award, while his community engagement efforts have solidified his reputation for delivering quality medical care to underserved populations.
