It keeps coming back. There's a reason.

Not relief.
Resolution.

Acunatomy doesn't manage pain.
It finds the cause and resolves it.
You get your body back.

"Learn to live with it" is not a treatment plan.

You're not looking for another way to manage it.

You've done everything right. Rest. Stretching. Doctor visits. Maybe even surgery. And still, the pain came back.

The worst part isn't the pain itself. It's that no one is looking hard enough to find out why.

But there is a why.

Sound familiar?

  • Pain that won't go away.
  • It used to come and go. Now it never leaves.
  • Specialist after specialist. Still no answer.
  • Nothing has actually fixed it. Yet.
  • You've quietly given up things you used to do.

If you recognize yourself here, you're exactly who this practice was built for.

Two methods. One system.

One releases the pattern.
The other keeps it from coming back.

Three steps. Start to finish.

Step 1
Book your first visit

Online or by phone.
We make it simple.

Step 3
The cycle ends

No more adjusting.
No more wondering why.

What your first visit looks like 

What life looks like after resolution.

Awake at 3 AM. Every position hurts.

Sleeping through the night.

Three cortisone shots. The shoulder still locks.

Reaching overhead freely.

Skipping the gym. Every lift feels like a risk.

Training again. Full program.

The results speak for themselves.

"Eugene has always been able to accommodate me with my acute injuries, and the nagging ones too. He walked me through the process when I first started and has the gentlest hands with needle placement. Definitely worth it if you're experiencing a nagging pain you can't seem to shake."

"Eugene has ensured my body stays as intact as possible from both an injury treatment and prevention perspective. As a 40+ year old that continues to wrestle and lift, I've put my body through the wringer. I've tried other treatments, acupuncture, chiropractic, but nothing has positively impacted my body as much as dry needling. He is very familiar with human anatomy and brings a deeper understanding of how to approach treatment for those with an active lifestyle. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay active or recover from injuries."

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Eugene. I have been using acupuncture for many years, specifically trigger point release, and his technique surpasses anyone I have used prior. His knowledge of human anatomy is extensive. I never feel rushed and always feel comfortable and confident that he can address my issues. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for relief or overall wellbeing."

"I've been working with Eugene for the past 5 years and it's been one of the best commitments I've made to myself. From the moment you walk in, you're met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. His depth of knowledge about acupuncture, dry needling, and cupping is truly impressive. Since starting sessions, I've noticed incredible improvements in managing pain, reducing stress, and improving my overall mobility. Every appointment feels tailored to my needs, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in."

"I have been a client of Acunatomy for two years. Before that I tried every alternative, PT, massage, you name it. No one has been able to eliminate my pain and mobility issues like Eugene. Within two sessions the pain I was experiencing was drastically reduced, and eventually eliminated. Now in a maintenance phase with no outstanding pain, I move better and perform with no issues. Eugene understands athletes, you can talk to him about specific sports and movements. He gets it. I've recommended Acunatomy to everyone I know, from serious competitors to my uncle with a bad back. The best decision I've made for my recovery."

Questions patients always ask.

Most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they feel. Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, far thinner than a hypodermic needle. You may feel a brief dull ache or mild pressure during dry needling when a trigger point releases, which patients often describe as a satisfying pressure rather than pain. Any discomfort is brief and purposeful.

Your first visit begins with a thorough assessment: your history, what you've tried, and where the dysfunction is actually coming from. Treatment begins in the same session. Most first visits last 60 to 75 minutes. You'll leave knowing what was found and what the treatment plan looks like. See the full walk-through →

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within the first two to three visits. The total number depends on how long the pattern has been present and how your body responds. Acute conditions often resolve in fewer sessions; long-standing patterns typically require more. The goal is always resolution, not an indefinite treatment schedule.

They use the same tool, a thin needle, but they work differently. Acupuncture influences the nervous system, circulation, and the body's regulatory systems. Dry needling targets trigger points: the tight, hypersensitive knots in muscle that restrict movement and refer pain. Acunatomy uses both together because they address different layers of the same problem.

In most cases the acupuncture itself wasn't the problem: the full picture wasn't addressed. Traditional acupuncture alone doesn't reach trigger points. Dry needling alone doesn't regulate the nervous system. If your results were partial or temporary, part of the source was likely never reached. That's exactly what this approach is built to resolve.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to the area being treated, shorts and a t-shirt work well for most sessions. If you have insurance, bring your card. No other preparation is needed. We handle the rest when you arrive.
