Two methods.
One system.
Acupuncture restores nervous system function.
Dry needling restores muscle function.
Acupuncture stops the alarm.
Dry needling extinguishes the fire.
This isn't the treatment
you're picturing.
Our approach is built to break the cycle. Through the science of each method, we assess the anatomy, locate the structures involved, diagnose the cause, and apply the treatment needed for resolution. You return to yourself.
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.
How dry needling works →Regulate. Reset.
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.
Pain that persists for weeks or months changes how your nervous system works. Your body amplifies the signal, even after the original injury has healed. We identify where that cycle is active.
Acupuncture reverses that process. It reduces inflammation, calms the nervous system, and restores the body's ability to recover on its own.
Pain decreases. Sleep improves. Movement returns without guarding. Your body stops protecting an injury that has already healed.
Eugene is trained across classical acupuncture traditions: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Palpation Technique, and Korean Constitutional Treatment. Your condition determines which one is applied.
How acupuncture works →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.
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.
