Are you in pain?

We Excel at Pain Relief.

Gentle Japanese Acupuncture Clinic

Specializing in Chronic, Acute, and Complex Pain Conditions

Our Difference: Advanced Orthopedic Acupuncture – Changes You Feel Right Away.

Our acupuncture gets very physical results. We primarily use an advanced Japanese style of acupuncture that is based upon gentle palpation of body and it’s systems. This allows us to listen to your body, and quickly discover the primary symptom and response pattern effecting very quick results. We are uniquely the only clinic in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennesee working in this advanced style learned directly from Kiiko Matsumoto, a living Master and treasure.

Acupuncture

Our advanced, gentle palpation techniques allow us to listen to the body directly without practitioner interpretation. We then identify tender spots around the problem area and then employ multiple advanced Acupuncture methods to clear pain and inflammation, increase blood flow, range of motion and speed recovery times. Our acupuncture is very grounded in the physical sensations of the body. You will feel a physical change during the very first treatment. Okyu (Japanese moxibustion), Cupping, Trigger Point Release (Dry Needling), and Gua Sha are also incorporated into treatments as needed.

Massage Therapy

We use a combination of advanced Chinese medical massage (Zheng Gu Tuina), Shiatsu, Orthopedic Massage for Common Injuries, and other techniques such as Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular facilitation, Cupping, Gua Sha, Thai massage, Deep Flow massage, Orthopedic Assessment, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). We teach our patients simple breathing techniques, stretching exercises, acupressure points, and Qi Gong as needed to help the healing process along in between treatments.

Holistic Health Coaching

Health Coaching helps you connect the dots between what you eat and how you feel. We offer food and lifestyle support for digestion, immune support, hormone balancing, weight balancing, anxiety, inflammation, auto-immune, and more. We offer support in addition to your acupuncture treatment plan or as a standalone service.

East Meets West: Bridging the Gap

We partner with conventional and holistic practitioners, becoming part of your care team, to provide you with a new experience in care. We speak both languages so you don’t have to. We work with physicians, practitioners, and patients to provide full-spectrum patient-centered care.

Our Acupuncture is Gentle, Calming, and Most Importantly – Effective

O

No Options Left

When you feel that you have no options left, Chinese Medicine can offer you a different perspective on your health. Often times, this difference equates to a better quality of life for you.

U

Confusing Diagnoses

For confusing diagnoses, we examine the organs, the neck, and the back, looking for imbalances or tight tender points. Once found, we relieve the points of imbalance and tenderness.

F

The Whole System

You don’t have to live in pain. We don’t just look at one sick body part. We look at the health of the whole system. As we uncover pain, tender points, and other clues, we help your body heal itself.

R

More Mobile

The body immediately functions better once these tender points subside, and once the body functions better, the spirit functions better. Once the spirit functions better, the mind functions better. Once relief has been found, patients generally become more mobile.

If I could leave 12-15 Five Star Reviews I would. My first session with Chad was to help mend my tennis elbow in a holistic and swift way - I felt immediate improvement from the first session and after another 2-3 sessions I've felt a longterm and stable improvement (my pickleball game is finally back!). I continue to return every few weeks due to the incredible results that occur IMMEDIATELY. From achilles tenderness to shoulder and back pain, it feels like a magic that Chad imbues when he's able to tap into his holistic understanding of the body and find ways to trigger immediate relief. Although I've used the word 3x the "immediate" relief can not be overstated. It's wonderful. I feel like I'm walking on wispy clouds of glory when I leave my sessions. Grateful for the thoughtful, grounded, highly professional and holistic healing that happens here. If you're experiencing recurring aches or pains and would prefer to enjoy living without those things, book a session.

Chad is nothing short of a magician! Some pain went away immediately and other pain left the following 2 days after the treatment set in. I now have mobility in my arm without pain. Thank you Chad!

It is always an amazing experience to work with Chad. He is the only person I know in my life that has such a deep knowledge of the human body. Chad healed my right shoulder, which was in a really precarious situation, i couldn’t lift weights or do any upper body training. After 3 sessions with Chad,I was back to full on mode and i keep going. Thank you Chad!

In my first session with Chad he listened carefully to my needs before recommending a treatment plan. His bedside manner was informative and reassuring. Throughout the treatment he explained the steps he was taking and why. I experienced no pain whatsoever as he applied the accupuncture needles. Afterwards I definitely felt better. Chad assessed that in one or two more treatments he will have the underlying issue resolved: I appreciated that he set a clear endpoint for this treatment.

I am 83 and struggling with many personal and worldly fears. I am exhausted, drained, in addition with various pains here and there. I ALWAYS leave Chad feeling significantly better and much stronger. He literally helps me stay alive and function independently. His Japanese based style is a gentle needling approach and yet magnificently and even instantly effective. Today I arrived down and out and left with strength and energy to catch up with chores and enjoy our shared meal. I call Chad, Doctor Wizesrd.
