How can such a small needle create such a significant response in the body?

One of the fascinating features of acupuncture is that it can provide substantial stimulation to deeper sensory nerves while causing relatively little tissue damage.

Needling can:

• Stimulate sensory nerves
• Release signaling molecules such as ATP
• Send signals to the spinal cord and brain
• Activate the body’s own pain-regulation systems

In other words:

Strong sensory stimulation
＋
Relatively little tissue damage

This balance is one of the distinctive features of acupuncture.

And there is another important advantage:

No drugs are introduced into the body.

Compared with many medications, this means no drug–drug interactions and generally fewer systemic side effects.

Rather than simply suppressing pain from the outside, acupuncture may help engage the body’s own pain-regulation systems.

That’s what makes acupuncture so fascinating from a physiological perspective.

Wrist or ankle pain? The painful joint may not be the real source.

Pain in the wrist or ankle does not always come from the joint itself.

The pain may be related to restrictions or adhesions in the surrounding soft tissues and fascia, or to tension in muscles connected to tendons that cross the painful joint.

That is why careful, precise palpation is one of the most important parts of treating pain.

At SHINGO Pain & Movement, I carefully examine the painful area to identify which tissues may be involved, rather than simply treating the area where you feel pain.

By understanding the tissues involved, treatment can be more specific and targeted to your individual condition.

For local treatment of the hand, wrist, foot or ankle:

• Manual treatment, without acupuncture
First visit: €85 (including €20 initial consultation fee)
Follow-up visits: €65

• Manual treatment + acupuncture
First visit: €105 (including €20 initial consultation fee)
Follow-up visits: €85

If you have persistent wrist, ankle, hand or foot pain, and the painful area has not improved despite treatment, a more detailed examination may help identify what is actually contributing to your pain.

Multifidus Palpation, Marking & Manual Therapy

In this video, I demonstrate the palpation and anatomical marking of the lumbar multifidus, followed by manual therapy applied to the marked area.

Accurate palpation is essential when working with specific anatomical structures. Rather than simply estimating a location, we identify the relevant bony landmarks, trace the tissue, and precisely determine the area we want to treat.

This marking skill has become an essential technique in fascia-focused treatment.

When working with fascia, it is important to have a clear understanding of the underlying anatomy and to be able to accurately identify and locate the tissues through palpation.

The video demonstrates the complete process, from locating the multifidus to applying manual therapy.

At SHINGO Pain & Movement, I place strong emphasis on anatomy, palpation, and movement assessment to provide precise, targeted treatment.

Acupunctuur voor pijnverlichting — Wat kunt u verwachten?

Bent u nieuwsgierig naar acupunctuur, maar weet u niet precies wat u kunt verwachten?

Bij SHINGO Pain & Movement wordt acupunctuur ingezet als onderdeel van een persoonlijke aanpak om pijn- en bewegingsproblemen te verlichten.

Behandeling kan worden overwogen voor klachten zoals:

Nek- en schouderpijn
Lage rugpijn
Sportgerelateerde pijn
Spierspanning en stijfheid
Gewrichts- en bewegingsproblemen

In plaats van alleen de pijnlijke plek te behandelen, analyseer ik uw beweging en symptomen om te begrijpen wat mogelijk bijdraagt ​​aan uw ongemak.

Met meer dan 20 jaar klinische ervaring als acupuncturist en manueel therapeut is mijn doel simpel: u helpen om met minder pijn en meer zelfvertrouwen te bewegen.

📍 Voorschoten, tussen Leiden en Den Haag
📅 Alleen op afspraak

Heeft u een pijn- of bewegingsprobleem dat u wilt bespreken? Neem dan gerust contact met ons op.

**Treatment Starts With Assessment**

Pain is not always coming from the place where you feel it.

Before treatment, I assess your movement and examine the muscles and soft tissues involved. This helps me understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and decide which treatment approach is appropriate.

Depending on the individual, this may include manual therapy, acupuncture, or a combination of both.

Rather than simply treating the painful area, I look at how the body is moving and how different structures may be involved.

Needle. Feel. Visualize.

For me, acupuncture is not simply about inserting a needle.

The sensation at the tip of the needle is critical.

I need to know where the needle is, its direction, how deep it has gone, and which tissue or muscle it is passing through.

When the needle contacts bone, I can feel it immediately through the needle tip.

This tactile information, combined with a precise anatomical understanding, allows me to visualize exactly where the needle is within the body.

At the same time, I use my fingertips to palpate the muscles, looking for tender points, muscle tension, and areas where the fascia may be dysfunctional.

I repeat this process — palpate, assess, needle, feel, and reassess — with one goal:

to identify the true source of the pain.

In chronic myofascial pain, the source is often found within the muscle or the surrounding fascial tissues.

That is where I focus first.

Find the source.
Understand the anatomy.
Feel the tissue.
Then treat it.

Have you ever seen this technique?

This is the one-handed guide tube technique, commonly used in Japanese acupuncture.

By setting the needle and guide tube with one hand, I can keep my other hand free to focus on palpating muscles and soft tissues.

For me, this is one of the biggest advantages of this technique.

🇯🇵 A simple but valuable technique from Japanese acupuncture.

Axon Reflex
One of the reactions that occurs with acupuncture.
In patients with chronic pain, reflex maybe lost, but as treatment progresses, the reflexes return.
