Our Approach
Whether you’re managing a specific health concern or looking to restore balance and resilience, NUNM’s Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine team offers thoughtful, individualized care rooted in ancient traditional healing modalities.
In Chinese medicine, pain and illness are believed to result from blocked or imbalanced energy pathways, known as meridians. Acupuncture works by placing hair-thin needles at specific points along these pathways to help restore healthy energy flow and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Acupuncture is commonly used to support care for:
- Acute and chronic pain
- Digestive and respiratory concerns
- Emotional and psychological health
- Gynecological and genitourinary conditions
- Immune, circulatory, and dermatological disorders
- Side effects related to chemotherapy or radiation
Acupuncture
Chinese medicine is a comprehensive system of care grounded in ancient philosophy and observation of the natural world. Practitioners assess the body using traditional diagnostic methods to identify patterns contributing to imbalance or illness.
Chinese Medicine
Depending on your needs, your care plan may also include traditional medicine techniques such as:
- Chinese herbal medicine
- Moxibustion and heat therapy
- Cupping
- Scraping or “coining”
- Movement therapies like qigong and tuina
- Bodywork and meditation
