Conditions We Help

Complex conditions require a practitioner who takes them seriously.

Luna is not only a general wellness clinic. This practice is built for patients whose condition is chronic, complex, or has not responded fully to what they have already tried. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a complete and sophisticated medical system that often provides meaningful support where other approaches have fallen short.

​

Chronic Pain, Orthopedic & Spine Conditions
From herniated discs and sciatica to post-surgical pain and joint degeneration, chronic musculoskeletal conditions are among the most common reasons people seek care at Luna. Many arrive having exhausted physical therapy, injections, and pain management, and find that addressing the root pattern driving their pain can produce results that go beyond symptom management alone.

​

Migraines & Headaches
Chronic migraines and headaches often have identifiable root patterns in Chinese medicine that respond remarkably well to treatment. Many patients who have been managing with daily medication experience significant reduction in frequency and intensity — and in some cases, complete resolution

​

Diabetes & Blood Sugar Support
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have a long clinical history supporting metabolic function, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar regulation. Used alongside appropriate medical care, this approach can meaningfully support A1c improvement, energy, circulation, and the prevention of diabetic complications, including neuropathy.
 

Cardiovascular Disorders
Heart health involves far more than cholesterol numbers. Chinese medicine addresses the underlying patterns affecting circulation, blood pressure, rhythm irregularities, and cardiovascular vitality — supporting the heart as part of a complete system rather than an isolated organ.
 

Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy — whether from diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, or unknown origin — is one of the most challenging conditions in conventional medicine. Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer a clinically substantive approach to improving nerve function, reducing pain and numbness, and supporting regeneration where possible.
 

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition that conventional medicine struggles to address meaningfully. Chinese medicine sees it differently — as a systemic pattern involving pain amplification, nervous system dysregulation, and often deep deficiency. Treatment is individualized and focused on addressing what is actually driving the condition.
 

Hormone Imbalance
From perimenopause and menopause to thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, and cycle irregularities, hormonal conditions respond well to the kind of constitutional, root-cause approach that Chinese medicine is uniquely positioned to offer.
 

Digestive Disorders
IBS, Crohn's, colitis, SIBO, chronic bloating, reflux, and other digestive conditions are areas where Chinese medicine has a rich and sophisticated clinical tradition. Diet, herbal medicine, and acupuncture work together to address gut function at every level.
 

Lyme Disease & Co-infections
Chronic Lyme and its co-infections present one of the most complex clinical pictures in modern medicine. Chinese medicine does not replace necessary medical treatment but can meaningfully support immune function, reduce symptom burden, improve energy, and help the body navigate a difficult and prolonged healing process.
 

Medical Weight Loss, GLP-1 Support & Post-Surgical Care
For patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can support the process by improving metabolic function, reducing common side effects including nausea, fatigue, and digestive discomfort, and supporting overall vitality during weight loss. Post-surgical support focuses on recovery, scar tissue, inflammation, and restoring normal function.
 

Pharmaceutical Side Effect Management
Many patients on long-term medications experience side effects that significantly impact quality of life. Chinese medicine offers a sophisticated and individualized approach to supporting the body through pharmaceutical treatment — reducing side effects, supporting organ function, and improving overall resilience without interfering with necessary medical care.
 

Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Sleep is not a luxury — it is the foundation of every other aspect of health. Chronic insomnia, difficulty staying asleep, and unrefreshing sleep all have identifiable patterns in Chinese medicine that respond well to treatment. Many patients experience meaningful improvement within a small number of sessions.
 

Post-Stroke Recovery & Neurological Rehabilitation
Acupuncture has one of the strongest evidence bases in Chinese medicine for post-stroke recovery. Supporting neurological rehabilitation, motor function, speech, cognition, and quality of life  this is an area where treatment can make a meaningful and lasting difference when combined with appropriate rehabilitation support.

​

Motor Vehicle Accident & Personal Injury
Auto accidents leave a complex trail of injuries, whiplash, concussion, soft tissue damage, nerve pain, and psychological stress that conventional care often addresses only partially. This practice provides comprehensive acupuncture and East Asian medicine care for MVA patients, including coordination with attorneys, physicians, and other providers as needed. Motor Vehicle Accident and Personal Injury Protection billing is accepted. If you have been in an accident, early intervention produces the best outcomes.
 

Not Sure If We Can Help?
Many of the patients who have experienced some of the most meaningful results at Luna came in unsure whether acupuncture could address what they were dealing with. If your condition is not listed here, or if you have been told there is nothing more that can be done, that is often exactly when this medicine has the most to offer.
