Trondheim Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture Senter (TOMAS) is centrally located at
Elvegata 7a, 7012 Trondheim.
TOMAS is owned and operated by Catherine Kim-Nestaas, Akupunktør FOSMA, L.Ac., MSOM, who employs a broad range of Oriental Medicine
Techniques to tailor the treatment to each patient.
Aside from needle acupuncture, Ms. Kim-Nestaas employs a combination of modalities such as
Moxabustion an ancient Chinese
heat therapy
based on herbs
Fire cupping applying vacuum
to improve circulation
Ear Seeds an ancient Chinese
heat therapy
based on herbs
Electrostimulation
Gua sha scraping
Medicinal herbs
These Oriental medicine techniques also effectively supplement treatments offered and administered by Western
medicine practitioners.
At TOMAS, acupuncture is done with Japanese style needles that are thinner and less invasive compared to the more
common Chinese style needles. The Japanese technique largely eliminates pain and discomfort of acupuncture.
