In this interview, licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist Khairul Bhagwandin explains his distinctive, integrative clinical approach. Drawing on his background in physical medicine and an active lifestyle that includes snowboarding, mountain biking, and backpacking, he empathizes with patients who suffer injuries and seek to improve performance. He outlines how his in‑house clinic combines acupuncture with complementary modalities—cupping, manual therapy, trigger‑point injection therapy, massage, and spinal adjustments—to address both physical and internal issues, providing a seamless, multi‑modal treatment experience tailored to each condition.

Chapters

So as an acupuncturist, I have a very unique way of practicing because I like to use as many modalities as I possibly know how. I'm also a licensed massage therapist and I have a background in physical medicine. So I'm also very, very active. So I do a lot of snowboarding and mountain biking and backpacking and hiking and stuff like that. So know what it's like to be injured, and I know what it's like to not be able to do the things that you love to do. I also know what it's like to want to do better at those things. So whether it's mentally or physically optimizing, your health is really important to me as well. So when you come in with a treatment, for a treatment with me, we'll do the acupuncture. Then we'll also do, usually do some cupping or manual therapy if it's indicated for your condition. I also do trigger point injection therapy, which can be really, really helpful, especially for injuries, old scar tissue, stuff like that. And it's also really nice having a integrative clinic because then if we need to do more massage or, you know, spinal adjustments or address some more internal type of issue that's going on, because all of that is so related, then we have that all right in house.
