Archetype Acupuncture
Sun Yun, PharmD, MAcOM, DiplOM, C.SMA, CMTPT/DNAc, LAc
With a foundation in both Western and Eastern medicine, Sun delivers a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to pain management, functional restoration, and performance care. His dual background as a pharmacist and licensed acupuncturist provides a unique understanding of the body’s physiological, neurological, and biochemical responses to treatment and recovery.
After more than a decade in pharmacy and multiple knee surgeries from sports injuries, Sun developed a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human body and the limitations of conventional approaches in addressing the root causes of dysfunction. This experience led him to pursue advanced training in acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and integrative medicine to better support the body’s ability to heal and adapt.
At Archetype Acupuncture, his clinical focus includes orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and neuromuscular imbalances. Each treatment plan is individualized, integrating neuroanatomical and myofascial acupuncture techniques with classical meridian theory to restore movement, optimize biomechanics, and reduce pain. This approach bridges modern rehabilitation science with time-tested acupuncture principles to achieve measurable, lasting results.
Sun is nationally board certified (NCCAOM®) in acupuncture and herbal medicine. He also holds certifications in Sports Medicine Acupuncture (C.SMA) and Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy / Dry Needling (CMTPT/DNAc). His ongoing postgraduate studies emphasize the integration of contemporary pain science, neurophysiology, and manual therapy within a traditional East-West medical framework.
