Teishin & Needle-Free "Acupuncture"
Gentle Alternatives for Sensitive Systems
Not everyone feels comfortable with traditional acupuncture needles—and that’s okay. At ECHO Acupuncture, we honor sensitivity, trauma history, and personal preference, offering effective, non-needle alternatives that still support deep healing.
One of the tools that Dr. Ev uses is the teishin ("tay shin")—a small, rounded instrument from the Japanese tradition that stimulates acupuncture points without piercing the skin. Teishin work is subtle, calming, and incredibly effective for regulating the nervous system, relieving tension, and guiding the body back into balance. It’s especially supportive for those who are energetically sensitive, dealing with chronic illness, or just beginning their journey with acupuncture.
We also offer gentle options like moxibustion and cupping, with techniques adapted for sensitive bodies. Every treatment is shaped around your comfort—because feeling safe is the foundation of healing.
If you’ve been curious about acupuncture but hesitant because of needle sensitivity, know that there’s a place for you here. These methods offer a quiet, spacious way to connect with your body and restore flow—without the use of traditional needles.
