What Inspired Equilibrium Acupuncture?
Andre's journey to becoming a leading practitioner in chronic pain treatment in Chico, CA began with an apprenticeship under his first teacher, Adam Moes, in 2014. During this time, Andre discovered a deep resonance between the philosophy of Chinese medicine and the core values he already lived by. After three years of studying acupuncture and herbology Andre apprenticed under his second Mentor Micheal Turk. Through the generosity of Turks' time and patiences, Andre acquired sensitivity on his hands and learned literacy in the texture of the body's tissue. Being able to locate the problem area has been the cornerstone to Andre's success in treating pain.
With the guidance of his last and main mentor Eric Schanke, Andre learned directions of muscle fibers, common and referred pain patterns, neurological entrapments and acupuncture techniques. Over three years and thousands of hours in Schanke’s clinic, Andre was profoundly influenced both in his professional journey and the values that shape his practice today. Andre worked closely with Eric, whose practice was built on values of integrity, honesty, humility, respect, and cleanliness. These principles, coupled with a commitment to authenticity and a genuine connection with patients, became the foundation of Andre's own approach to acupuncture.
Today, at Equilibrium Acupuncture, these values guide every aspect of Andre’s practice, solidifying his reputation as a leader in chronic pain treatment in Chico, CA.
“Chronic pain will take its toll not only on a person’s spirit but their entire life. Helping patients reduce their pain is some of the most rewarding work I have ever come across. I am grateful for my mentors who were so talented and who have shared their entire life’s work with me to continue their legacy and help more people find relief from chronic pain.”
