Masayuki Adachi, MSOM, L.Ac.
Founder, Adachi Acupuncture & Herb Clinic
Manhattan, New York City
Masayuki Adachi is a New York State licensed acupuncturist with over 16 years of clinical experience. He provides personalized care for chronic pain, muscle tension, stress, digestive concerns, and hormonal health concerns. His patients include professionals, athletes, and performers seeking to feel and function better in daily life.
His Approach
Adachi combines Balance Method with Japanese acupuncture, careful palpation, and Seitai-based structural assessment. His background in Shiatsu, which he began studying in 2001, shaped his hands-on approach and close attention to muscle tension, posture, and movement.
Beyond the area of discomfort, he looks for patterns throughout the body that may contribute to symptoms. Treatment is tailored to each patient’s needs, with gentle needling, clear explanations, and ongoing assessment of progress. Herbal medicine may be incorporated when appropriate.
His hospital experience at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn includes orthopedic rehabilitation, recovery after stroke, and labor and delivery care. Working alongside medical professionals helped shape his collaborative approach.
