Acupuncture in Manchester, CT — Expert Integrative Care for Whole-Body Health

Most acupuncturists don’t have advanced training in lung and respiratory medicine. Most pulmonary providers don’t practice acupuncture. Milos Tomic, APRN, FNP-BC is both — a board-certified family nurse practitioner specializing in pulmonary care and a certified acupuncturist. This rare combination means your acupuncture treatments are guided by a deep clinical understanding of respiratory health.

At Advanced Pulmonary Care, acupuncture is not a stand-alone wellness trend. It is a targeted, evidence-based therapy used alongside conventional pulmonary medicine to support your breathing, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. A growing body of research supports the use of acupuncture for respiratory conditions, including studies showing improvements in airway function, reduced inflammation, and decreased breathlessness.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to promote natural healing, improve circulation, and regulate the nervous system. At Advanced Pulmonary Care, acupuncture is not limited to respiratory conditions — we treat a wide range of health concerns:

• Joint pain and back pain — including chronic musculoskeletal pain
• Migraines and headaches — reducing frequency and severity
• Anxiety and stress — calming the nervous system
• Sleep problems — improving sleep quality and duration
• Perimenopause and postmenopausal symptoms — hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disruption
• Chronic fatigue — restoring energy and vitality
• Digestive issues — IBS, bloating, nausea
• Fibromyalgia — reducing widespread pain and fatigue
• Allergies, asthma, and sinusitis — supporting respiratory comfort
• Immune support — building resilience
• Post-Lyme syndrome — addressing lingering symptoms
• Skin reactions — rash, inflammation, reactivity
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome — in combination with other treatments
• Breathlessness and COPD — supporting easier breathing alongside conventional care

Every acupuncture session is tailored to your specific diagnosis and symptoms — not a generic protocol.

Your first visit begins with a thorough conversation about your health history, current symptoms, medications, and treatment goals. Milos reviews your full clinical picture before placing a single needle.

During treatment:

• Thin, sterile, single-use needles are gently placed at targeted points on the body.
• Most patients feel little to no discomfort — many describe a mild tingling or warmth.
• Sessions last approximately 30 minutes.
• You will rest comfortably in a calm, private treatment room.
• Many patients find the experience deeply relaxing. It is common to feel a sense of calm or even fall asleep during treatment.

Follow-up sessions are scheduled based on your response and progress. Milos adjusts your treatment plan as your condition evolves.

Acupuncture at Advanced Pulmonary Care is a self-pay service and is not billed through insurance. We believe this therapy is a worthwhile investment in your health — especially when it is guided by a provider who understands your lungs as well as he understands acupuncture.
