萬物 太極 無極
Acupuncture — Rochester, NY

The body knows
how to find
its way back.

A practice rooted in the classical tradition — attending to the whole picture, not only the symptom.

What We Treat

What brings
people here.

The starting point is often a symptom. What becomes possible is something wider.

✦ · · · ✦ · · · ✦

The session begins with a conversation — about how you're sleeping, what tightens under stress, what the body has been trying to work out on its own. The acupuncture follows from that. The aim is to change what's generating the problem, not just manage it.

About the practice →
Shamus Clancey, DACM L.Ac
Founder — Classical Acupuncture & Tuina

Two decades in practice. Pain, nervous system, and classical bodywork. Rooted in the lineage, returning to its roots.

Two ways to be seen

The right format
for the right moment.

Private Sessions
Depth, time,
and full intake.

Initial sessions run ninety minutes. Follow-ups sixty. Enough time to understand the full pattern before treatment begins — and to do the hands-on work the presentation requires.

Community Clinic
Sliding scale.
Consistent care.

Sessions are clothed, shorter, focused on distal points. The same classical channels, a different format — built for the consistent care that makes the lasting difference. Consistency shouldn't be a financial decision.
