David Shen is a Registered Acupuncturist and ACC Provider in New Zealand, as well as a registered member of the CMCC. He graduated from the New Zealand School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and has a strong passion for integrating traditional healing principles with modern anatomical knowledge.
David’s journey into Chinese medicine began through a personal health experience. After recovering from Subacute Thyroiditis under the care of his father-in-law, an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, he developed a deep appreciation for the effectiveness of TCM. Inspired by this experience, he dedicated himself to studying Chinese medicine and acupuncture, ultimately completing his professional training and becoming a registered acupuncturist.
David specializes in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal pain and injury-related conditions. By combining a detailed understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy with Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory, he is able to identify the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. His treatments often integrate acupuncture with therapeutic Chinese massage (Tuina) techniques to help relieve pain, restore mobility, accelerate recovery, and improve overall wellbeing.
David is committed to providing patient-centred care and creating personalized treatment plans that address both symptoms and their root causes, helping patients return to their daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
