9000 Needles Documentary cover photo

9000 Needles” is a documentary made about one American’s journey to Tianjin Hospital in China to discover unprecedented relief from a severe stroke. The featured doctor in charge of his treatment, Dr. Shi Xue Min, is considered “the father of (modern) acupuncture” and was the immediate teacher to one of my teachers, Dr. Clayton Shiu. From Dr. Shiu, Dr. Ayla Wolf, and Dr. Suzanne Robidoux I’ve learned innovative techniques and methodologies used to awaken dormant parts of the brain suffered from any stroke, brain injury, or degenerative disease.

How We Heal the Brain

Core Factors Assessment

We do a functional neurological assessment to determine which parts of the brain are impacted, as well as a systems review to understand your underlying pattern from a Chinese Medical viewpoint

Simple Plan of Treatment

We'll determine a clear, concise treatment plan that may include some dietary and/or herbal advice but will absolve you of any guess work.

Cerebrovascular Acupuncture

We use proven, advanced acupuncture techniques and/or electro-acupuncture to increase cerebrovascular flow, modulate, and regenerate malfunctioning nerve pathways.

Holistic Internal Medicine

With the proper combination of simple dietary modifications and specified herbal supplements, we can improve cerebrovascular circulation and functionality.

Ensure Lasting Results

Once having achieved consistent relief, we'll reduce the frequency of treatments and empower you with self-regulating tools to ensure that your results last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

Acupuncture needles are the thinnest, most gentle needles in the world. Upon insertion you will most likely feel nothing, after which you may or may not feel a slight pressure point or nerve sensation to initiate the body’s natural anti-inflammatory mechanism.

Have you treated this before?

Yes. Every case is different, so there is never any guarantee of results, but this area is one of our specialties in which we’ve seen consistent improvement as well as full resolutions from regular acupuncture. 

 

What are the needles doing?

When it comes to neurology, acupuncture excels at either reminding neurological pathways of which frequency to fire at or increasing cerebrovascular flow to reawaken hypofunctioning parts of the brain.

Will I be on a lot of supplements forever?

No. With herbal medicine we try to use the bare minimum to elicit maximum results and do not expect or desire patients to be reliant on them in perpetuity. However, with severe conditions herbal medicine is often an important modality to complement the acupuncture. 

 

How long do I have to come to see results?

A standard course of medical treatment for chronic conditions is 12 visits over the course of 2 months. However, most cases are able to observe some progress during the first month.

Are these treatments safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered to be one of the safest modalities in existence, with at worst the very occasional, mild soreness or bruise at the site of a point.
