Pyndus Acupuncture & Wellness

Located in the Houston Heights, our clinic specializes in Japanese & Chinese acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, Tai Chi & Tui Na bodywork. We offer a wide spectrum of treatments for the body and mind, from rehabilitating injuries to calming mental disturbances. Jon Pyndus is fortunate to study the Nihon Keiraku Chiryo style of acupuncture, with roots going back centuries to the arrival of acupuncture in Japan. Japanese style acupuncture advocates a state so relaxed that the patient feels almost nothing, quite different from Chinese methods that prioritize the sensation of moving energy. When acupuncture reached Japan, it was commonly practiced by visually impaired persons; as a result, Japanese acupuncture places greater emphasis on pulse & palpitation of the meridians for diagnosis. Another distinction is that the patient is treated both facing up & down, with 12 minutes of treatment on either side. Pyndus Acupuncture exclusively uses Japanese needles (thinner with a silicone coating for more delicate insertions) but utilizes both Chinese & Japanese methodologies to best serve the needs of our clients.
