The credential question
A DAOM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) is a licensed healthcare provider with doctoral-level training in a whole-person system.
Unlike conventional doctors, a DAOM approaches diagnosis and treatment through the lens of Chinese medicine, which has been refined over centuries specifically for understanding imbalance before it becomes disease.
Wondering how that differs from functional medicine? Or interested in how a DAOM approaches specific conditions like thyroid dysfunction? And if you’re looking at corporate wellness programs or want to know what a DAOM practice actually costs, we cover that too.
