Conditions We Treat
People come to SUUM Clinic for a wide range of health concerns, from acute and chronic pain to hormonal, digestive, and stress-related conditions. Rather than treating a diagnosis alone, we look at how your symptoms, history, and lifestyle fit together, then build a plan using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and osteopathic manual practice. The areas below are those we see most often.

Care for musculoskeletal pain, injuries, headaches, and nerve-related conditions. Treatment may combine acupuncture with osteopathic manual techniques to ease pain, restore movement, and support recovery, alongside care from your medical team when needed.
