SOME GENERAL IDEAS ABOUT JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE
Japanese acupuncture methods are gentle in approach as well as clinically effective. Also they have proven to be very suitable for people with sensitivity or fear of needles, as there are many techniques that use specific tools that don't puncture the skin. For those who have experienced traditional acupuncture to be painful, the subtle ways of this old healing asian tradition will transform the experience into a safe and painless one. A therapeutic option that many patients choose to complement other standard medical treatments.

ACUPUNCTURE AS A COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY
Notice that I practice acupuncture as a complementary treatment and not as an alternative one. This means that if you have already consulted a medical doctor and you've already been diagnosed, it would be easier to help you and offer a suitable treatment for your own specific health condition. You will find an orientative list below with some of these conditions in which acupuncture can help you. Anyway you can consult me and I will let you know if we can work together improving your wellbeing and health through the many holistic strategies and arrays of possibilities acupuncture has.

WHAT DO WE DO IN A FIRST SESSION?
During the first visit we’ll do a general assessment of the problem to be treated, divided into a root and symptoms treatment. In the first step we work with a specific protocol designed to balance the body as a whole that may include questions regarding your health and life habits, diet, etc. Later on we’ll work on your symptoms with the many different techniques and tools that japanese acupuncture has to offer you as a holistic treatment trying to use the ones that may suit best to your own condition. Also we might use other tools such us moxibustion, ontake massage, auriculotherapy, TDP heat lamps among many others.

ABOUT ME:
My name is Ciro Berenguer and you can read [my full bio in Spanish HERE]. I discovered Japanese acupuncture in 2013 by attending a seminar given by Stephen Birch, (who is perhaps the foremost expert on Japanese acupuncture in Europe) while studying TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and I immediately sensed that its gentle but effective methods, were what I was looking for to continue my training. Since then I have continued studying and practising exclusively Japanese techniques with the highest references in Europe. At the same time, during many years I belonged to an active group of practitioners, organised by Manuel Rodriguez Cuadras and the Classical Acupuncture Association, where we participated in a continuous training process beside many other practitioners. At the same time we offered treatments to patients [I participated in this social acupuncture experience during the period 2016 / 2017] and we shared experiences among those of us who practice and continue to refine these subtle acupuncture methods,which are increasingly liked by patients for their relaxing, meditative and personalised character.
SOME TESTIMONIALS FROM ACUPUNCTURE CLIENTS:
✶✶✶✶✶ Constance Flint Terapias Utiles is an excellent & professional choice for acupuncture, amongst the other available kinds of therapy on offer. It is a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere to be in. Ciro has a respectful and kind nature and is a brilliant practitioner who makes you feel welcome and relaxed in his presence.

✶✶✶✶✶ K C Ciro was a life saver!! He came to my rescue when terrible back pain and spasms had kept me flat on my back for 5 days. The day after his treatment I was able to stand up and walk, and the following day I was able to walk for hours !!! He even came to my apartment when I couldn't get out of bed. He is a miracle worker with many tools to help, and a very kind person who works from his heart ❤️. So grateful for Ciro's work!
