Sun is a MIRACLE worker! I went to get acupuncture as a last resort, I was dragging my leg and walking was a substantial challenge. I had back surgery (spinal fusion) 8 years ago and this last year has been the biggest struggle I have ever experienced. About 1 year ago I developed additional issues with other areas of my back and It was effecting me physically and mentally. I'm 65 but in my head I'm 45 and want to live out my life in an active normal way. Before I met Sun I truly thought I was running out of options and my only other recourse was another surgery. By my 1st or 2nd treatment I was better and by my 5 visit the weakness in my leg and pain in my hip ( which I've been told by ortho's is radiated from my back) are just about completely gone. I too am in the medical field and I can say with complete confidence that Sun is absolutely knowledgable, he's conscientious and goes out of his way to insure that his patients have a positive outcome through this modality. I should also mention that he gave me exercises to do at home which have kept me well maintained. I anticipate having to see him from time to time but I can assure anyone who has tried epidurals without success, consider a couple a sessions with Sun. I have no doubt you too will be VERY pleasantly surprised at how effective these treatments are! Lori Gale read more

Sun is fantastic. I have been having a recurrent neck pain for the last 6 weeks and started getting acupuncture where I live on the mainland. It was doing okay but flared up a gain when visiting the island. I got an appointment with Sun and am so happy I did. He is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond just the treatment. He gave me exercises to work on at home to prevent the issue from recurring and also gave recommendations for other sports medicine specialists. He knew I was just visiting and was only going to be there one time, but still took the time to be incredibly thorough. He easily could have done less and it would not have mattered but he put 110% effort in. Also very easy to talk to and a very comfortable experience. read more

This was my first experience with acupuncture, and I was very nervous before hand. I had double hip surgery, and was referred to Sun from PT. He is an awesome person, and he is great with needles, cupping, and is always quick to suggest and use new techniques and ideas to help with my recovery. I am seriously grateful for his practice for the rest of my life. Acupuncture took about 2-3 months off of my recovery of my first hip surgery, and it is already doing wonders with the second surgery (specifically pain management 3 weeks post-op). I would recommend seeing Sun to anyone and everyone, healthy or not. It really works wonders and can't mention this enough, he's a great person who has helped with my perspective and growth in the healing process. read more

I have been going to Sun for acupuncture for my knee after having ACL and meniscus repair surgery. In conjunction with physical therapy I feel that my sessions with Sun have really helped with my knee healing as he focuses on the body as a whole and not just the "problem" area. He is obviously very knowledgeable and provides comfortable sessions and also follow up on additional remedies (such as vitamins and supplements) that he recommends to help with healing. I am very glad he was recommended to me by my physical therapist and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an acupuncturist! read more

I was in Kona on vacation and was having a hard time sleeping. I knew I needed a tune up with acupuncture so I made an appointment. Sun was really flexible to fit me in. Most importantly though he evaluated and got right to the treatment and recommended herbs when I got home (I have them now). I slept great the first two nights after treatment. The herbs I'm taking now are helping. Thank you! read more

Sun's enthusiasm for his practice in sports medicine acupuncture was refreshing to experience. His explanation through the whole therapy session gave me comfort and understanding as to what he was doing, why he was doing it, and what I was to gain by it. Sun's genius sparked as he assessed and diagnosed the cause of my knee pain with his extensive knowledge of kinesiology. He exemplified true professionalism with driven focus and passion to promote healing. I trust that you'll be happy to give Sun at Archetype Acupuncture a try. read more

Really great experience with Sun at Archetype Acupuncture. He is very thorough with great attention to detail and utilizes a variety of techniques to address a wide range of issues. Sun helped restore mobility in my low back and hips following a significant disc injury to allow me to move around with reduced pain before surgery and has been instrumental in my recovery from surgery. His kinesiology and sports medicine knowledge are a great compliment to his background in acupuncture and his thoroughness gives me great confidence in what he's doing, to the point that my father travelled across the country to see him. Could not recommend Sun more strongly. read more

Sun immediately grasped the scope and root of the issue I was having with my shoulder. After my first visit I was able to sleep pain free for the first time in months. I can't recommend him enough. read more

I highly recommend Sun Yun as an Acupuncturist. Sun shows a deep care for me and my injuries. He uses a comprehensive approach to my care, treating not just symptoms but the root cause. He utilizes multiple methods unachievable through other forms of treatment. Sun's knowledge and application of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, sports medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine has been of tremendous benefit to me. I have experienced not only pain relief, but also inflammation reduction, increase in the range of motion, and functionality of my injuries. He listens exceptionally well and is responsive to my questions. Sun has explained the benefits of the various forms of treatment, which for me includes acupuncture with electro stimulation, Gua Sha, application of Chinese ointment and cupping. Working in concert with my other providers, Sun displays humility. When making suggestions, he always recommends seeking the advice of my Physical Therapist and Doctor. With the knowledge and understanding I have gained, I have improved my health and self care. I have implemented practical methods to relax, stretch, and strengthen muscles. I have tremendous gratitude for the benefits I have received thus far and look forward to continued treatments at the larger and more convenient location, which will afford him even more methods of treatment. read more

So sad that Sun is leaving Portland. He helped me tremendously with chronic back and neck pain, and with fatigue. I've been to several acupuncturists and other practitioners over the years. Sun stands out as someone who listens well, has a comprehensive approach, and a thorough understanding of biomechanics. I also love that he let me listen to music of my choosing while sitting w the needles in, instead of listening to cheesy nature sounds!! read more

Sun was my acupuncturist for several months when I had an autoimmune skin condition flare really badly. He is extremely knowledgeable and warm and was very determined to help me get better. In addition to the acupuncture, he had me on Chinese herbs and even referred me to a very knowledgeable herbalist in the area when he felt that I could use some additional expertise and a custom herbal remedy. Overall, I loved working with Sun - he is kind, warm, very caring and has a respectful and impeccable bedside manner. I strongly encourage you to meet with Sun if you need acupuncture! read more
