Two methods.
One system.
Most pain isn't caused by one thing. A tight muscle pulls on a joint. A compressed nerve makes it worse. Your nervous system adapts around all of it. That's why the pain keeps returning.
At Acunatomy, we treat every layer together, in the same session.
That's how we get to resolution.
This isn't the acupuncture
you're picturing.
Most people think of acupuncture as relaxation or energy work. That's not what we do. Acunatomy is clinical. Anatomical. Not a set routine. Not a generic plan. We find what is causing the problem, then precisely resolve it.
Direct. Deliberate.
Done.
Trigger points are tight (hyper-irritable) knots in the muscle that cause pain, restrict movement, and send pain to other areas of the body. Dry needling goes directly into the knot and breaks the cycle. Research consistently confirms it is the most effective method for releasing trigger points.
Where you feel the pain is not always where the problem starts. We identify the referral pattern to locate the area generating the pain, not just where you feel it.
A thin needle is inserted directly into the trigger point. The muscle twitches, a brief, involuntary, typically painless response that confirms a successful release.
The muscle relaxes. Blood flow returns. The referred pain stops. Movement comes back. Your body returns to normal function.
Eugene's clinical foundations in dry needling are built on the methodologies of Travell and Simons, Dommerholt, Fernández-de-las-Peñas, McGill, Gunn, and Baldry.

Restore.
Acupuncture resets how your nervous system processes pain. When pain persists for weeks or months, your body amplifies the signal, even after the original injury has healed. Acupuncture reverses that process. It reduces inflammation, improves sleep, and restores the body's ability to recover on its own.
Eugene is trained across classical acupuncture traditions: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Palpation Technique, and Korean Constitutional Treatment. Each serves a different purpose. Your condition determines which one is applied.
Acupuncture resets the nervous system that's been amplifying your pain.
Dry needling releases the knot that's been fueling your pain.
Together, they resolve the pattern and restore normal function.
Grounded in research.
Applied in practice.
A Cochrane review, the highest standard of medical evidence, analyzed over 8,700 patients and found acupuncture significantly more effective than controls for chronic pain, with effects lasting beyond the treatment period.
Systematic reviews confirm that dry needling effectively reduces pain and restores range of motion.
The research confirms what we treat successfully in practice every day.
