Clinical and Holistic Health Services
We offer chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage therapy, and naturopathic medicine services. Our patients are treated by faculty clinicians, often assisted by student interns of NWHSU.
Our acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine services are provided by either a faculty clinician or a student intern who is supervised by a faculty clinician. If you choose treatment provided by a student intern, you’ll receive a treatment plan based on the diagnosis of the intern and their supervisor, at a reduced fee. You may seek healthcare advice from both the intern and their supervisor.
A licensed naturopathic doctor provides our naturopathic medicine services. Massage therapy is provided by nationally board-certified massage therapists.
We make evidence-informed decisions based on your individual needs. Our healthcare providers collaborate with each other. Evidence shows that collaboration and integrative care produce better outcomes for our patients.
Northwestern Health Sciences University is a leader in the field of integrative and collaborative care – team-based care for the patient. Through well-developed, evidence-informed care pathways, patients are experiencing improved outcomes and satisfaction.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
Acupuncture relieves pain, restores vitality and enhances life. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body at prescribed points using sterile disposable needles no thicker than a human hair.
Acupuncturists often prescribe Chinese herbal formulas to deepen the effect of treatment and complete the healing changes that acupuncture has begun.
