Neal Sirwinski Acupuncture

Neal Sirwinski, DOM, is among the first Doctors of Oriental Medicine in New Mexico and is known for Kiiko Matsumoto-style acupuncture, a Japanese approach built on palpation. He has studied Japanese acupuncture for decades, graduated from the Kototama Institute, and has studied with Kiiko Matsumoto for many years. He also teaches this style to other practitioners and says many of his patients have found relief from painful conditions, including difficult cases.

Visits begin with palpation of the neck and abdomen, which gives instant feedback on a patient's condition and how treatment is working. The practice is part of Rio Grande Natural Health Clinic in Albuquerque's Nob Hill area. Appointments can be booked online or by phone, and the clinic works with several health insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Cigna, Presbyterian, UnitedHealthcare and VA. Coverage and copays vary by plan, so check with your insurer first.
