Alastair Macleod, MAc.OM
Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
Hello, my name is Alastair Granville Macleod, a Licensed Acupuncturist with a deep commitment to helping you achieve your best health. My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began when I was a child struggling with an autoimmune condition. Conventional treatments weren’t able to offer me relief, and it was through Chinese medicine that I found healing. That experience was life-changing, and it’s what drives me today to help others rediscover their health and vitality.
I truly understand how frustrating and isolating chronic conditions can be—especially when traditional Western medicine doesn’t provide the answers. I know how time-consuming, costly, and discouraging it can feel. By contrast, I take a personalized, compassionate approach with each patient, focusing on what works best for you. We’ll work together to find the right combination of treatments, and with tools like AcuGraph, we’ll track your progress every step of the way to ensure the treatment is as effective as possible.
In addition to traditional acupuncture, I’m trained in several specialized techniques that offer unique benefits:
- Master Tung’s Acupuncture System: This method is known for producing fast, noticeable results by using a combination of acupuncture points to offer quick relief for a range of health issues.
- Dr. Tan’s Balancing Method: A subtle, powerful technique that helps restore harmony in your body by addressing energy imbalances and supporting your body’s natural healing process.
- Japanese Meridian Acupuncture: This gentler, more soothing approach is perfect for those new to acupuncture or who may feel nervous about needles. It uses smaller needles and lighter stimulation, making it a calming, restorative experience.
- Auriculotherapy: A non-invasive technique that uses the ear to address conditions like stress, anxiety, pain, sleep issues, and weight management. It’s a great complementary treatment that can help restore balance and improve overall well-being.
I also offer non-needle options like laser acupuncture, which is perfect for anyone who’s nervous about needles or prefers a more comfortable experience. Additionally, I’m trained in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can help with pain relief, muscle recovery, and a variety of other conditions.
At the heart of my practice is a deep care for your well-being. I’m not just here to treat symptoms—I address the root causes of what’s affecting you. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, managing an autoimmune condition, or simply looking to feel your best (or boost your wellness), I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll focus on providing efficient, effective lasting care that supports your healing without the burden of unnecessary time or financial stress. I am dedicated to offering the best care possible and I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward optimal wellness through innovative holistic care.
