Your practitioner

Jose Rodriguez
LAc, BSc — Acupuncturist & TCM Practitioner

I am an Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner (LAc). From 2013 to 2017 I completed the Higher Education of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Highest Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (FEMTC/ESMTC) in Barcelona — a 240 ECTS programme recognised by the European Foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is my core clinical qualification and the foundation of everything I practise at AcuRodos.

I hold a BSc in Food Science from the University of Barcelona and a Higher National Diploma in Health, Diet and Nutritional Studies from the University of Vic. I am a registered member of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association (AFPA) — membership number 8638 — and fully insured.

I founded AcuRodos with one conviction: that effective, evidence-based Traditional Chinese Medicine should be accessible to everyone — not just those who can rearrange their working day for a 3pm appointment.

Pain and Anxiety Share a Brain Circuit — Electroacupuncture Can Calm Both

Scientists have identified the exact neural pathway linking chronic pain to anxiety — and shown that electroacupuncture reactivates it by restoring serotonin flow to the brain's emotional centre.

Can Acupuncture Help the Brain Reorganise After a Stroke?

A closer look at the same landmark trial reveals how acupuncture may help stabilise brain networks after stroke — and what scientists honestly say still needs proving.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Does acupuncture actually work?

Yes. We practise evidence-based TCM. Modern research shows acupuncture triggers endorphin release and regulates the nervous system. We track your progress using clinical markers — like Range of Motion or Pain Scales — so you can see objective results.

I'm afraid of needles. Is it painful?

Most patients are genuinely surprised by how relaxing it is. We use single-use, hair-thin sterile needles. You may feel a dull ache or tingle (called De-Qi) — a sign your nervous system is responding. Many patients fall asleep during treatment.

Can I claim on my health insurance?

Absolutely. Jose Rodriguez is a registered AFPA member (#8638). You can claim €25–€35 per session from VHI, Laya, Irish Life and Aviva depending on your plan. We provide a professional receipt at every visit.

Why book a package instead of one session?

Physiological change takes time — just as one antibiotic dose doesn't clear an infection. Packages ensure clinical consistency, which is the key to lasting results. Plus, your cost per session drops significantly.

What happens at my first session?

Your first session is a full diagnostic assessment. We review your medical history, perform physical screenings, and explain the science behind your symptoms. You leave with a clear Treatment Roadmap — not just a single treatment.

Do you work with GPs and physiotherapists?

Yes — we are the only TCM clinic in this area with a dedicated GP referral portal. We provide treatment progress reports to referring clinicians and respond to all referrals within 24 business hours.
