Dr. Chiu has been trained in a number of different styles of acupuncture, and uses a number of different techniques from traditional Chinese acupuncture, Japanese styles of acupuncture, Kiiko Matsumoto acupuncture, distal acupuncture (Tan balance method), and Tung style acupuncture.

By paying attention to the signs and symptoms of the body, he works to solve each patient’s current health problems with an eye toward preventing future ones.
