Acupuncture at Bolest Brno is delivered by two certified algesiologists — MUDr. Eva Kynclová and MUDr. Michaela Cahová — at a clinic designated as an acupuncture teaching centre. The approach goes well beyond standard needle insertion: practitioners may apply electroacupuncture (electrical stimulation through needles or a blunt pen), moxibustion (heat stimulation), pharmacopuncture (injection of medications at acupuncture points), cupping and magnetic or light stimulation — selecting the combination most suited to each patient's condition. Fine, single-use sterile needles in gauges 0.1–0.4 mm are used throughout. The technique targets acute and chronic pain including headache, cervical and lumbar syndromes, joint pain, trigeminal neuralgia and post-stroke spasticity, as well as functional disorders of the motor system and certain immune-related conditions. A course of approximately 6 sessions is typically recommended, with acute conditions treated daily and chronic conditions once every one to two weeks.

The defining feature of this service is multi-modal stimulation. Rather than restricting treatment to mechanical needle placement, sessions may incorporate: - Electroacupuncture: rectangular or sinusoidal electrical currents delivered via needle electrodes or a blunt stimulation pen, allowing precise modulation of stimulus intensity and frequency - Moxibustion: thermal stimulation of acupoints using slow-burning Artemisia (mugwort) to add a warming…
All needles are single-use, sterile, and made of inert metals in diameters from 0.1 to 0.4 mm and varying lengths depending on target depth. Patient comfort is maintained throughout.
