AcuTrigger is Dr. David Anzaldua’s specialized approach that blends the precision of acupuncture with targeted trigger point therapy to relieve pain and restore function. This innovative, drug-free treatment is designed to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and accelerate healing—especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, and knees. AcuTrigger is ideal for patients seeking fast, effective relief from chronic pain, tightness, or injury without the use of medications or invasive procedures. Available for athletes and qualified patients.

What Does Acutrigger Include?

The efficacy of this method is achieved by combining theory and techniques from both modern scientific medicine (MSM) and ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with homeopathy.

The method has three steps.
1. Accurate diagnosis in terms of modern medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

2. Physical therapy (hands-on medicine) such as active release technique, myofascial release, osteopathic realignment, Tui-na massage or other techniques

3. Nearly painless injection of condition-specific homeopathic remedies into carefully selected acupuncture points, trigger points and orthopedic anatomical site to deliver remedies to target tissues

Incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine

In TCM, injured or painful areas correspond to “meridians”—functional compartments where disruptions in “blood, fluids, and qi” signal imbalance. Through extensive study, I have found these concepts map meaningfully to modern physiology: TCM “blood” aligns with the full contents of the bloodstream, including cells, nutrients, proteins, lipids, and immune factors; “fluids” likely refer to interstitial and intracellular fluids surrounding tissue cells; and “qi” appears to correlate with neuronal signals, bioelectric impulses, and metabolic energy exchanges.

Acutrigger Therapy prepares these meridians for healing by opening key access points—acupoints and trigger points—allowing targeted homeopathic remedies to flow directly to affected tissues. This method demonstrates how ancient and modern paradigms not only complement one another, but together offer a more complete and dynamic understanding of the healing process.
