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.

Two methods. One system.

Acupuncture resets the nervous system.
Dry needling releases the knot.
Together, the pain resolves.

Acupuncture resets the nervous system that's been amplifying the cycle.

Dry needling releases the knot that's been fueling your pain.

Together, the pain resolves. Normal function returns.

Couldn't turn your neck to check a blind spot

Full range of motion. No hesitation.

Waking up at 3 AM because your back won't let you stay in one position

Sleeping through the night without thinking about it.

Skipping the gym entirely because you don't know what won't hurt

Training again. Full program. No modifications.

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."

When a patient says they've tried everything, Eugene believes them.
And starts where the search left off.

Eugene Baek is a pain specialist with 21 years across rehab, orthopedics, oncology, and elite sport. He built Acunatomy around a single question: why does this patient's pain keep coming back? Not from a textbook, but from years of listening to patients who had tried everything, and finding what everyone else missed.
The patterns he saw became the method.
The method became this practice.

Many of his patients arrive after other treatments haven't fully resolved their problem. That's where his work begins, finding what's actually driving it.

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 release rather than pain. Any discomfort is brief and purposeful.

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

It depends on how long the pattern has been present and how your body responds. Acute conditions often resolve in fewer sessions. Chronic patterns that have been present for months or years typically require more. Most patients notice meaningful improvement within the first two to three visits. At Acunatomy, 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 through specific point locations. Dry needling targets trigger points, the tight, hypersensitive knots in muscle tissue that restrict movement and refer pain. At Acunatomy, both are used together because they address different layers of the same problem. That's what makes the approach more effective than either alone.

That's one of the most common things we hear. In most cases, the acupuncture itself wasn't the problem, it's that the full picture wasn't addressed. Traditional acupuncture alone doesn't reach trigger points. Dry needling alone doesn't regulate the nervous system. Acunatomy combines both because pain rarely has a single layer. If you've had acupuncture before and the results were partial or temporary, it's likely that part of the source was 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.
