who we are.
Why Hands & Needles?
Simple. We use more of these simple tools than anything else to bring your body, mind, and soul into restoration, balance, and well being. Some people may call this "healing" and we are more than happy to accept that. Further more, specializing in "healing" with tools such as our hands and acupuncture needles allows us to provide a healing you can feel from the outside to the inside and from beginning to end of treatment . Additionally, we can feel it too; from the ends of our fingers or the ends of our needles we are able to arrive at diagnosis and subsequently treat
dis-ease and dysfunction. Don't worry, we use technology as well . We employ device based modalities and lab testing to support healing when needed; thus, providing a balanced blend of "old" and "new" tools to transform your health and well being.
We specialize in transforming chronic conditions like Diabetes, High blood pressure, Anxiety, Adrenal fatigue, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Eczema, certain Auto-Immune diseases, Seasonal Allergies, Addiction, Asthma, complications from Chemotherapy and Radiation, MS, Neuropathy, Neuralgia, Prostatitis, PCOS, Fibroids, Hemorrhoids, Incontinence, Impotence, Infertility, Modereate scoliosis, Tennis elbow, Frozen shoulder, Sciatica, Upper Cross Syndrome and many more.
We accomplish this healing and transformation by using four modalities in tandem or singularly depending on the patient and condition.
The modalities are :
*Acupuncture ( which includes more modalities)
* Massage/Bodywork (which includes more modalities)
*Herbs/Nutrition
*Tai Chi/Qi Gong
So, come see us for Acupuncture in Greensboro.
The Practitioner:
Robert Bradley LA.c, LMBT, BA
Robert has 15 years experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, Robert went in search of a real Tai Chi & Qigong Master who knew the internal aspects of the art built on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although he ended up studying with several teachers, he ultimately became a disciple of Grand Master David Chin and the Sin Tien Wu Qi Qi Gong system. He later graduated from Blue Cliff College Metarie, eventually becoming faculty, and began a career in massage, specializing in sports massage: rehab, recovery, and prevention. It was during this time that he developed his own techniques that were proven to eliminate pain and discomfort from structural and postural dysfunction or acute and chronic soft tissue injury for both the athlete and non-athlete alike. He later graduated from the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine's 4 year practitioner program finally earning an Acupuncture license. He believes the mind-body is a complex interface that can be guided toward balance with appropriate nutrition, herbal stimulation, physical touch, and movement.

Nutrition at Hands & Needles is of course approached from a Traditional Chinese Medical Perspective. Your health is intrinsically linked to your diet. It is that straight forward. You are the sum of what you consume. We do provide consultations outside of treatment and they are always standard with any Acupuncture treatment. We also intervene with herbs when needed.
We also compound herbs to make our own unique formulas for patients as well. In fact, we prefer this method because we can control the formula and cater to each unique case.
