Licensed Acupuncturist

Overview

Anjuna Sports Acupuncture, founded in 2013, is Eugene's specialty clinic for sports acupuncture, performance recovery, and integrated orthopedic care. We combine precision needling with modern performance science to help athletes and active individuals recover faster and stay in the game. Our practice is grounded in evidence-based orthopedic acupuncture protocols using DBC Pro Maxx needles, treating patients across the full activity spectrum: older adults keeping up their fitness routines, everyday movers managing the demands of work and family, and competitive athletes preparing for their next event.
