Carol Sweetman, L.Ac.

Carol Sweetman is a graduate of the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine,Wisconsin, where she received a Masters of Science Degree in Oriental Medicine. The Master of Science Oriental Medicine Program is accredited by the United States Department of Education. It is a four year program (minimum of associates degree to enter the program) that trains practitioners in a system of diagnostic and therapeutic health that has evolved over 3,000 years – Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM operates from the philosophy that as human beings we exist as an integral part of our universe. Nothing is excluded, nothing is interpreted or analyzed without reference to the large whole.

Ms. Sweetman also earned an advanced clinical training certificate in Acupuncture from Guangzhou University Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Guangzhou, China. This hospital is a model of the integration of Chinese Medicine with advances in science and biomedical technology. It services one of China’s largest cities – 22 million inhabitants with an average patient load of 6,000 people per day.

Her extensive clinical experience covers five major cities – Washington D.C., Milwaukee, Chicago, San Diego and Guangzhou China. This has given her experience in treating a wide variety of disorders from chronic and acute pain, musculoskeletal injuries, TMJ, Bell’s Palsy to weight reduction and facial rejuvenation.

Ms. Sweetman also has experience in western medical settings. She worked for 18 months at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Program of Integrative Medicine in Tucson, Arizona as a administrative/ research volunteer. She has served as a primary liason between patients, families and medical staff in Outpatient Surgery, Emergency and Urgent Care centers.

Ms. Sweetman is committed to providing both accurate and appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies for health and well-being that reflects the philosophy - that medicine should be oriented toward healing rather than disease, that the doctors and patients are partners working toward the same ends by engaging the natural healing capacity of the body and the emphasize of prevention above treatment.
