Acupuncture – Traditional Chinese Medicine and Modern Pain Therapy

When I first encountered acupuncture, I was still a doctor focused entirely on academic medicine. I viewed the needles with skepticism — as a mysterious relic of the past, a fragment of Eastern folklore. Only when I experienced their effects myself — first as a patient, and later as a practitioner — did I understand that these tiny punctures hold something far deeper than just a physiological reaction of the body. They embody knowledge older than any textbook — a practice born from observing life itself, its flow, its disturbances, and its balance.
Holistic Approach to Health Acupuncture is, for me, much more than a therapeutic method. It is a philosophy that recognizes the inseparable connection between body and mind — that health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of harmony, both internal and external. By stimulating precise points on the body, I influence the nervous system, circulation, and immunity — but also emotions and mental balance. I see it every day in my patients: they come in with headaches, neck tension, or anxiety, and leave calmer, often with visible relief on their faces. How Acupuncture Works – Medical and Energetic Perspective From a medical standpoint, acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins and serotonin — substances that naturally improve mood and relieve pain. And while this can be explained in neurobiological terms, it is equally true to say that acupuncture helps unblock the flow of Qi (vital energy) through the meridians — channels known in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Different Acupuncture Techniques In my practice, I use various forms of acupuncture:
  • Auriculotherapy – working with the ear, which represents a microsystem of the entire body,
  • Acupressure – used when a patient is afraid of needles,
  • Moxibustion – warming acupuncture points with an herbal moxa stick,
  • Laser acupuncture – a gentle method especially suitable for children and seniors,
  • Pharmacopuncture – using patches with natural active substances that stimulate acupuncture points.
Regardless of the technique, the foundation remains the same: respect for the body’s wisdom and a holistic approach to pain therapy and health prevention. Safety and Professionalism Acupuncture is a safe method, provided it is performed by a well-trained professional with a medical background. It is not a set of magical tricks, but a craft that requires years of study — learning from masters, reading the pulse, observing the tongue, and interpreting the body’s reactions. The Wisdom of the Ancients in a Modern Clinic The history of acupuncture dates back to the Neolithic period — over 4,000 years BCE — when stone tools were used to press and puncture points on the body. Tradition holds that Chinese warriors noticed how certain ailments disappeared after minor wounds — this sparked reflection on the relationship between localized injury and overall balance in the body. This knowledge was recorded in one of the oldest works of Chinese medicineLing Shu, which describes the system of meridians, the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood), and the principles of Yin and Yang. Today, when I insert needles, I am aware that I continue this millennia-old tradition of seeking balance and health. Modern Diagnostic Tools The skin, rich in receptors, can be compared to a keyboard on which, by stimulating active points, one can “program” changes within the body. Acupuncture is not a random method but a science supported by empirical observation across generations. Today, I also use modern tools, such as the Ryodoraku method, developed by Professor Yoshio Nakatani — measuring the skin’s electrical conductivity allows for even more precise therapy planning. Acupuncture in Warsaw – Invitation to My Clinic I have not ceased to be a doctor of Western medicine — I have simply enriched my perspective with the experience of the East. Today, I treat not only the body but the whole person. If you are looking for professional acupuncture in Warsaw, therapy for back pain, migraine treatment, or support for anxiety disorders — I invite you to my clinic. Because health is not just the absence of symptoms, but a deep, calm presence within yourself.

Digestive and Metabolic Disorders – Holistic Treatment in Warsaw

When treating digestive and metabolic disorders, I take a holistic view of the body. Proper intestinal function is the key to physical and mental health as well as overall well-being — that’s why therapy must always be personalized and take into account every aspect of the patient’s life. The intestines and the entire digestive system are the center of our health. This is where nutrient absorption takes place, where many essential substances are produced, and where a large part of our immune processes occur. When the digestive system doesn’t function properly, the whole body suffers. In my practice, I help patients with various digestive and metabolic conditions, combining modern medical knowledge with manual therapy and a holistic approach.

In treating digestive and metabolic disorders as well as gastrointestinal diseases – such as reflux, SIBO, IMO, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infections, food intolerances, parasitic infections, Candida albicans overgrowth and gastrointestinal motility disorders – I take a holistic view of the body. Proper bowel function is the key to physical and mental health and overall well-being, which is why therapy must always be individualized and cover all aspects of the patient’s life. 

The intestines and the entire digestive system are the center of our health. This is where nutrient absorption occurs, where many essential substances are produced, and where a large part of the immune processes take place. When the digestive system doesn’t work properly, the whole body suffers. In my practice, I help patients with various digestive and metabolic conditions, combining
modern medical knowledge with manual therapy and a holistic approach.

Treating Abdominal Rumbling and Gurgling, rumbling, or the feeling of an “empty stomach” are signs that the digestive system is not functioning properly. The causes may include microbiome imbalance, food intolerances, or slowed intestinal motility. In therapy, I combine precise diagnostics, an individually tailored diet, and manual techniques that support intestinal function to restore balance and digestive comfort.

Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) IBS is a complex set of symptoms that not only causes discomfort but also significantly reduces quality of life. I work with patients to reduce bloating, diarrhea, and constipation using supportive medications, dietary therapy, carefully selected probiotics, and manual techniques that improve intestinal motility. My goal is to restore balance between the intestines, the nervous system, and the immune system — because that is often where the root of the problem lies.

Supporting the Treatment of Indigestion and Reflux

A feeling of heaviness, heartburn, or acid reflux may have many causes — from weakened gastrointestinal motility to tension in the diaphragm and chest area. In working with patients, I focus on reducing symptoms, strengthening digestive function, and improving tissue mobility, which supports healing and brings lasting relief. I often recommend a C13 breath test to rule out infection with Helicobacter pylori.

Supporting Obesity Therapy

Obesity is a complex condition — not only aesthetic but primarily health-related. I support patients in the process of weight reduction by improving metabolism, regulating intestinal function, and introducing healthy eating habits. Acupuncture for weight loss also brings effective results. My role is not only to provide physical support but also to educate and motivate patients to achieve lasting results.

Chiropractic and Manual Therapy – How I Work with Patients

My goal is not only to eliminate pain but also to improve my patients’ overall quality of life. Chiropractic and manual therapy allow me to restore balance in the body so that it can function in complete harmony. For many years, I have been treating conditions related to the spine and musculoskeletal system. In my practice, I combine medical knowledge, hands-on experience, and techniques from manual therapy and chiropractic care. This approach allows me not only to reduce pain but also to address its root cause and restore the body’s natural balance.
Spinal Alignment Correction The spine is the main axis of our body. Even slight misalignments can lead to pain, stiffness, or limited mobility. Through precise manual techniques, I help restore the proper alignment of the vertebrae, improving the biomechanics of the entire musculoskeletal system and relieving strain on the muscles and joints. Therapy for Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Spine Pain Pain in these spinal regions is a common issue among my patients — often related to stress, a sedentary lifestyle, or physical strain. In therapy, I use individually selected manual techniques that reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore freedom of movement. Treatment of Sciatica and Disc Herniation Sciatica and disc herniation can take patients out of normal daily life for weeks. In working with the patient, I aim to relieve pressure on the affected nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore spinal mobility. Often after just a few sessions, patients experience significant relief and can return to their usual activities. Therapy for Neck Pain and Numbness Numbness or a feeling of heaviness in the neck are signs that the muscles and joints in this area are overloaded. My therapy focuses on releasing tight structures and restoring normal mobility. The result is not only pain reduction but also improved blood circulation and better concentration. Treatment of Muscle Tension and Movement Limitations Chronic muscle tension often leads to stiffness and restricted daily activity. Through manual therapy, I can relax overly tense muscles, unlock the joints, and restore freedom of movement. This is especially important for prevention — to help avoid more serious degenerative changes.

Pain Therapy and Musculoskeletal Disorders

The pain therapy I provide in Warsaw goes beyond temporary relief. The goal is to restore full mobility, a sense of lightness in movement, and overall comfort in daily life. For years, I have been helping people struggling with joint pain, limited mobility, and chronic post-injury conditions. In my work, I combine manual therapy, modern medical methods, and rehabilitation techniques to restore function and improve quality of life. Often, problems within the musculoskeletal system originate elsewhere — for example, in the digestive tract. Comprehensive diagnostics and a holistic approach allow me to identify the cause and effectively reduce pain.
Treatment of Joint Pain Joints are the movable connections between bones that determine our mobility. When they start to hurt, every step or movement becomes an effort. I use manual therapy, individually tailored exercises, and techniques that support tissue regeneration. My approach helps reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and protect the joints from further strain — both in degenerative conditions and after injuries. Therapy for Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Pain Pain in the shoulder, elbow, or wrist is among the most common issues in people working at computers, athletes, or patients recovering from injuries. These problems usually result from overuse, tendon inflammation, or limited joint mobility. Rehabilitation and manual therapy in Warsaw help restore proper biomechanics, release muscle tension, and rebuild functionality so that daily activities become pain-free again. Treatment of Knee and Hip Pain Knees and hips bear the body’s entire weight, so their dysfunctions can significantly limit mobility. I treat both acute post-injury pain and chronic degenerative problems. I use manual techniques, stabilizing and strengthening exercises, and regenerative therapy to restore the joints’ strength, flexibility, and stability. Therapy for Post-Traumatic and Chronic Pain Sometimes even a minor injury leaves behind long-lasting pain. Other times, pain develops gradually as a result of strain or degenerative changes. My goal is to reach the root cause of the problem and select a therapy that not only relieves pain but also restores the body’s natural balance and full mobility.

Natural Medicine and Prevention

Natural medicine and prevention are an investment in the future. By supporting the body in its daily functioning, we can prevent many diseases and enjoy long-lasting health for years to come. I have always believed that the best way to heal is to prevent illness before it appears. In my practice, I draw on the richness of natural medicine, including the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, to help the body maintain balance and strength. Health prevention, a proper diet, and natural therapies form the foundation of lasting well-being — both physical and mental.
Diet Therapy in Chinese Medicine Chinese medicine has treated food as medicine for thousands of years. In my work, I often draw on its principles to help patients restore the body’s energetic balance. With the right selection of foods, it is possible to support digestive processes, strengthen immunity, and improve mood.

Diet therapy is always individualized — tailored to the patient’s needs, constitution, and lifestyle. It includes foods from the Yin and Yang groups, which have a regulating effect on the entire body and help maintain a healthy metabolism. Strengthening Immunity – Seasonal Prevention Changing seasons, transitions, and periods of increased infection are times when our body needs additional support. I use natural methods to strengthen the immune system — from diet therapy and herbal medicine to manual techniques that improve circulation and energy flow throughout the body. As a result, patients fall ill less often and recover more quickly. Treatment of Mood Disorders and Chronic Fatigue Stress, overwork, and a lack of balance between activity and rest often lead to low energy and mood problems. In my practice, I take a holistic view of these symptoms — working with both the body and the mind.

In addition to manual techniques and dietary support, I use natural methods that help balance the nervous system: acupuncture, therapeutic massage, herbal therapy, and breathing exercises. This helps patients regain energy, enjoy better sleep, and feel inner stability and calm. Why Choose Natural Medicine and Prevention? Combining the knowledge of Western medicine with the experience of Eastern traditions allows for safe and effective support of the body. Regular preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural therapies help maintain a healthy spine, proper digestion, and emotional balance.
