With a foundation in both Western and Eastern medicine, Sun takes an evidence-informed, individualized approach to injury recovery and pain management. Treatment emphasizes careful assessment, functional restoration, and practical outcomes rather than one-size-fits-all protocols.

Sun is nationally board certified in acupuncture and herbal medicine and has advanced training in orthopedic, sports medicine, and myofascial trigger point acupuncture. His ongoing education reflects a commitment to integrating modern pain science, neurophysiology, and manual therapy within a thoughtful East–West framework.

After more than a decade in pharmacy and his own experiences with sports-related injuries and knee surgeries, Sun developed a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human body and the limitations of purely symptom-based care. These experiences shaped his clinical focus on addressing root causes, restoring movement, and supporting long-term recovery.

At Archetype Acupuncture, treatment plans are individualized and may combine neuroanatomical, myofascial, and classical acupuncture approaches to reduce pain, improve biomechanics, and support resilience across all stages of life.
