Meet the Founder Dr. Angela Nation OMD, FABORM

I was on track to either apply for Physician assisting school or Medical school when I changed my path to Chinese Medicine. I had always been interested in health, fitness, nutrition and herbs but just was not sure how I could incorporate that into a career.  I was volunteering at the time at a kidney dialysis center, when I saw first-hand the dramatic and measurable improvements acupuncture had on a patient’s kidney function. I couldn’t help but start looking into acupuncture.  

I started reading about acupuncture, the five elements, how people were restoring health through natural sources and not chemical man made pharmaceutical.   I couldn’t get enough of natural medicine.  After that, I hurried up and finished my Bachelor's degree and enrolled in one of the leading academic colleges for natural health. At Bastyr University, in Seattle, Washington I spent the next 4 years learning the art and science of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

“One of my greatest joys is to see people get healthier, to help them exceed their expectations and actualize their goals through natural medicine”.
”
— Dr. Angela Nation

I’ve been practicing acupuncture and Chinese Medicine since 2006.  I worked several years at one of the leading acupuncture clinics in Indiana treating more than 150 patients a week (that's typically a lot for an Acupuncturist). After a few years I decided to move to Las Vegas so I could share my knowledge with future OMD’s.  

As a Professor at Wongu University of Oriental Medicine, I take pride in instructing future doctors on herbology, nutrition, obgyn, and pediatrics. Being a part of the community and helping the valley expand the field of Chinese medicine is another proactive step in helping us all reach our health goals.

True Health Acupuncture is here to help make a difference in the lives of women, men, athletes, expectant mothers, and children.

If you’re ready to stop just managing symptoms and ready to obtain health, your time is now.

Join me on the path to true health and let's work together!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during a treatment? 

During your initial consultation a complete medical history and evaluation of your health condition will be evaluated.  The doctor will also ask you to stick out your tongue as this is a major diagnostic tool that is used in Chinese Medicine and then they will take your pulse, blood pressure and do any other necessary tests.  Once the Doctor has done your assessment, then the process of placing needles into the body will occur.  After all needles have been inserted, you will then relax on the treatment table for about 20-30 minutes.

Are there any side effects from Acupuncture?

Other than an occasional bruise, there are no major side effects from Acupuncture.  Most patients report positive effects such as relaxation and bliss.

Does Acupuncture Hurt? 

This is one of the most common questions asked about acupuncture because many people associate needles with pain.  However, Acupuncture needles are much smaller than a hypodermic needle which is used to draw blood, or give a shot.  Acupuncture needles are about the thickness of a hair and are virtually painless when inserted.  After insertion patients may describe a sensation of tingling, heaviness, warmth, a slight itching or nothing at all.  If you were to feel any discomfort you should inform the practitioner, who will adjust the needle to make you comfortable.
