ANCIENT WISDOM, MODERN SCIENCE

What is Acupuncture & How Does It Work?

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body.

From a traditional perspective, this stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood through channels called meridians.

From a modern, scientific view, it triggers the body’s natural healing processes by stimulating the nervous system, reducing inflammation, and releasing pain-relieving endorphins.

Our goal is to blend both perspectives, creating a treatment that restores balance and effectively addresses your symptoms.

A Tailored Approach to Your Treatment

Every person’s body and condition is unique. That’s why Adrian doesn’t rely on a single style of acupuncture. Instead, he draws from a range of classical and modern techniques to create a treatment plan that is precisely tailored to you.

Tung and Tan Acupuncture:

An ancient and powerful method known for providing rapid and effective pain relief by using points on the body to “mirror” and treat the affected area.

Motor Point & Dry Needling:

A modern, targeted approach that focuses on releasing specific muscle trigger points and knots. It is highly effective for treating musculoskeletal pain, improving range of motion, and aiding injury recovery.

Electro-Acupuncture:

A technique where a gentle electrical current is applied to the needles to enhance the therapeutic effect. This is often used to treat chronic pain, nerve issues, and muscle weakness by amplifying the body’s natural healing signals.

Neoclassical Acupuncture:

A sophisticated modern style rooted in classical theory. It uses gentle abdominal palpation to diagnose underlying constitutional imbalances, allowing for treatments that use minimal needles to create profound, lasting shifts in your overall health.
