For doctors

Learn instant pain elimination in one weekend.

TurboAcupuncture® takes the twelve points that control almost the whole body and teaches them in a single weekend. No prior acupuncture training is required. You leave certified, able to treat pain you could not treat on Friday.

12 pointsnot the five hundred in classical acupuncture
1 needleinserted 0.5 to 1.0 mm
19 of 20patients released from pain, typically in seconds
Since 2001taught to doctors and hospital staff internationally

Option one

Live training

Dr. Tan teaches this in person, and travels internationally to deliver it. The weekend is hands-on: you needle under supervision, you are assessed, and you leave able to do the technique safely.

What the weekend covers

  • Understanding pain the way Chinese medicine understands it
  • The T.A.N. Navigation system, which leads you from the site of pain to the point that releases it
  • The twelve points, and what each one governs
  • Needle placement, depth and angle, and how to keep it safe
  • Supervised practice on the day, with individual correction
  • Which pain you can treat on day one, and which you should refer on

Who it is for

Qualified medical doctors, dentists, naturopathic doctors and licensed acupuncturists. Experienced acupuncturists are welcome and find it changes how they work. No prior acupuncture experience is needed.

Option two

Online course

The same method, in five modules you work through at your own pace. Built for doctors who cannot travel, and as preparation before a live weekend.

The five modules

  • How pain develops, and why the classical explanation still holds
  • The T.A.N. Navigation system
  • The twelve points, one module at a time
  • Needling technique, safety and contraindications
  • Putting it into practice in your own clinic

Module titles and contents are indicative. They will be confirmed with Dr. Tan before publication.

After you qualify

Certification, and being found by patients

On completion you are certified as a TurboAcupuncturist and listed in the patient directory, so people in your area looking for pain relief can find you and book directly.

Certification is renewed annually. Renewal keeps your listing live. This is what turns the training into something that keeps bringing patients to your practice rather than a certificate in a drawer.

From a practitioner who took the course

“More in one weekend than in ten years”

“I understood and learned more about Chinese medicine and acupuncture in one weekend than I did in the past ten years.”

Dr. Tan has taught medical and naturopathic doctors, experienced acupuncturists, hospital medical staff, and students at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

One weekend. That is the whole difference.

Doctors who cannot do this and doctors who can are separated by two days.
