About OMHC

Nate Novgrod LAc.

Old Mountain Health Center is owned and operated by Nate Novgrod LAc.

Nate has been studying martial arts for over 20 years. It was through this and a knee injury that  he became interested in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The results he got personally led him to travel to Portland, OR to obtain his Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from one of the oldest and most esteemed schools in the country. After graduation he decided to move back to the area that fostered his love of nature to provide affordable, natural care for Western North Carolina; specifically Waynesville.

Nate’s goal in opening OMHC is simple. To use ancient knowledge to help inform us on how to live a healthy life in our modern times. To that end OMHC offers two types of services. Chinese medicine including Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Tui Na Massage are used to assist in both getting and staying healthy. Chinese medicine can effectively treat a wide variety of conditions ranging from all types of pain management, headache, nausea, anxiety, depression, stress, digestive disorders, arthritis, etc. Chinese Martial Arts including Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Shao Lin Kung Fu are great systems of exercise and health that promote health and fitness and are fun for all fitness levels.
