- Lead approachTung’s acupuncture
An acupuncture lineage that often works far from where it hurts — and frequently helps when other approaches haven’t.
What this is
Master Tung’s acupuncture is a distinct family lineage, kept within the Tung family for generations before being taught more widely. It uses a relatively small number of effective points, located mainly on the limbs, hands and ears rather than at the site of the complaint. Needles are usually placed away from the painful area, and gentle movement of the affected part during treatment is often part of the method.
A distinct method
- Works distally — points on the arms and legs, not the trunk or the painful site itself.
- Uses fewer needles than many styles, chosen for their effect rather than by fixed formula.
- Can treat areas that are too painful, inflamed or awkward to needle directly.
- Practised here by one of only three practitioners in Ireland registered in this lineage.
What this can help with
People most often come for:
- Musculoskeletal pain — back, neck, shoulder, knee.
- Pain that hasn’t settled with other treatment.
- Long-standing organ-system and internal complaints.
- Tension and stress-related patterns held in the body.
What to expect
A first session begins with a full case history and assessment. Needling is usually on the limbs, and you’ll often be asked to move the affected area gently while the needles are in place. Sessions last about an hour. Most people notice change over a short course of treatment rather than from a single visit.
Training & experience
Martin has over twenty-five years of clinical experience and is one of only three practitioners in Ireland registered in Master Tung’s lineage. He is also trained in Chinese herbal medicine, which is often used alongside Tung’s acupuncture where it’s indicated.
