Eugene Baek,
M.S., L.Ac.
Board Certified in Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
Eugene has spent over 21 years figuring out why pain comes back, and how to make it stop.
Eugene studied biology at Quinnipiac University, then completed his graduate training at Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York, one of the best acupuncture programs in the country. The program is one of few that integrates Chinese, Japanese, and Trigger Point Dry Needling into a single curriculum. He has traveled to Seoul, Korea to study Korean acupuncture traditions directly.
The result: one of the few practitioners in the region trained across all four major acupuncture systems, with a deep specialization in Trigger Point Dry Needling, the modality most responsible for resolving pain that other treatments leave behind.
His approach is informed by leading researchers in pain science and myofascial medicine, the same evidence base used in orthopedic and sports medicine settings.
Over more than two decades, Eugene has practiced across rehabilitation centers, orthopedic and physical therapy practices, oncology care, integrative medical clinics, and high-performance athletic settings, bringing both a medical and a movement-based lens to pain at its source.
Eugene has trained in martial arts his entire life, boxing, muay thai, brazilian jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, and hapkido, and still trains and competes today. That background is where his deep understanding of how the body moves, breaks down, and recovers comes from.
Throughout his career, Eugene has served in medical missions to underserved communities at home and abroad, most recently in Johannesburg and Durban, South Africa.
