Sinomedica

What Sinomedica does

Sinomedica is a privately held Swiss healthcare company founded in 1999 that operates a network of seven medical acupuncture centers across Switzerland, with locations in Chiasso, Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Basel, Bern, and Lucerne. The company delivers science-based medical acupuncture — a therapeutic approach that combines conventional medical diagnosis with acupuncture practice to treat a broad range of acute and chronic conditions spanning pain management, fertility, weight loss, stress and anxiety, and integrative oncology. Its branded sub-product, the Sinomedica Shou Shen® program, packages a low-carbohydrate diet with weekly acupuncture sessions for metabolic and hormonal regulation, and Sinomedica has also introduced IV Vitamin Treatment as a complementary add-on service.

The company's core technology is its standardized, evidence-anchored medical acupuncture protocol underpinned by what it describes as one of the largest clinical databases of acupuncture treatments, which it claims to combine with current scientific findings to inform patient-centered care. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients self-refer online or by phone, undergo anamnesis and medical diagnosis with a clinician, and follow a personalized treatment plan delivered at one of the physical centers, with marketing executed through a multilingual (English, German, French, Italian) website, blog content, and an integrated online booking system.

Revenue is generated from fee-for-service treatment sessions, with costs partially reimbursed by Swiss complementary health insurance depending on individual policy coverage. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are horizontal and condition-based — general health, weight loss, pain management, mental health, women's health, and oncology — served across Switzerland's three primary language regions. There is no public disclosure of revenue, ownership, institutional investors, or M&A activity.
