Burton Moomaw, LAc. DiplAc.   North Carolina License # 458

I am 52 years old and have lived in Boone since 1986. As a young man I became interested in medicine through first aid training. This interest grew throughout my climbing years and at age 45 I enrolled in acupuncture school. I love my work and am passionate about helping my patients heal and get their lives back.

I received a AAS in Civil Engineering from Central Virginia Community College, a BS in Business Management from Hill College, and a graduate level Diploma in Acupuncture from Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine.

Before opening this clinic in 2007, I founded a climbing gear company, Misty Mountain Threadworks in 1986. I was then a professional rock climbing guide for 15 years in NC and an instructor at NC Outward Bound School.

I have been married for 21 years to my wife Julia and have two teenage sons, Lucas and Noah.
