Structural Alignment Acupuncture with Regan Archibald

Structural Alignment Acupuncture with Regan Archibald

Have you ever heard of "structural alignment acupuncture"?

I didn't either until I met Regan Archibald. In 2004, Regan became the first person in the US to be certified in Seitai Shinpo, which focuses on structural techniques of acupuncture. Currently, Regan is one of only 23 individuals to have this certification.

What is it?

From my understanding, this method comes from Japanese Seitai Shinpo acupuncture. With the use of acupuncture needles on specific points on the back and a few distal (anchoring) points, it can correct a person's spine in 12-20 treatments!

This acupuncture method is extremely easy to use. First, you diagnose the patient's primary bias (which hip is higher - right or left) and the secondary bias (which scapula is lower - right or left). Then, you needle back shu points, focusing on the side with the bias.

And here's something your patients will love:

The needles are only inserted about 3-5 mm (you can go deeper once you and your patient are more comfortable) so there is virtually no pain. Most patients report high levels of relaxation without feeling the needle!!
