About CMJ Acupuncture
Hello and welcome to CMJ Acupuncture. My name is Caroline Jung.
Through practicing Chinese medicine for the last 16 years, I have witnessed the healing that this time honored medicine can provide for many illnesses. Chinese medicine is a holistic approach to your health. Treating your mind, body and spirit all together. By working with you for your healthcare goals, I create a custom treatment plan that focuses on your body’s current health condition including preventative measures. Along with acupuncture and lifestyle recommendations, your course of treatment may include cupping, moxibustion, tui na, and Chinese herbs. Acupuncture and these modalities integrate with one another and allied healthcare treatments to create your optimal well being.
“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” ~ Lao Tzu
The use of acupuncture has been shown to effectively treat many types of conditions. In 2003 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released a report called “Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials.” Below is a list of the conditions mentioned in said report.

Success Stories
Caroline’s dedication and expertise in mastering
the skill, science and healing properties of acupuncture is exceptional. She not only has studied acupuncture but she has also educated and taught acupuncture over the past many years to others.
Being in the care of Caroline is being in the care of
one of the best in the practice!
My journey with Caroline began when I was suffering from crippling cubital tunnel syndrome nearly 15 years ago. My doctor told me I had intense nerve damage and recommended painkillers, steroid injections and invasive surgery. Instead, I decided to try acupuncture. Within weeks, not only was my pain gone, I had full mobility back in my arm/hand and I never needed any of the traditional medical recommendations.
From my first consultation with Caroline, I knew I had met a practitioner who was incredibly knowledgeable and caring. She took the time to understand who I was as a person (my lifestyle, stressors, issues), not just my medical history. Not only did she resolve my initial issue, her tailored treatments resolved multiple others – migraines, menstrual cramps and ultimately – infertility.
As the sessions progressed, I found out that I had stage 4 endometriosis and would require IVF to get pregnant. Caroline was there for me – as my practitioner and, by then, a dear friend. She wrapped me in care with her mind-body-spirit alignment approach and I will tell anyone who will listen that without her treatment, I would not have my daughter today.
Memphis is so lucky to have gained such an experienced and compassionate acupuncturist. I wholeheartedly recommend Caroline to anyone seeking a holistic approach to wellness. Thank you for altering my life for the better, Caroline – I am deeply grateful for you and your care, and you will always have positive vibes for you in Chicago!
