Robert Ziemanis is the premier specialist of Shakuju (Acupuncture Core) Therapy in New Jersey.

My name is Robert Ziemanis, and I am a Licensed Acupuncturist. I practice Shakuju Therapy, a unique method of acupuncture developed by Dr. Shoji Kobayashi of Japan. For over 15 years, I have been guiding my patients’ return to health from chronic pain and disease.
I offer a thoughtful and individualized approach to successfully treat people with a wide variety of conditions, such as chronic pain, digestive disorders, neurological issues, and chronic immune challenges. Every patient receives my undivided attention during their treatment.
I graduated from the Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine, and hold Diplomate of Acupuncture status by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I am one of only a handful of certified teachers of Shakuju Therapy in the United States, and the only practitioner in NJ. One of my greatest privileges was to study in Dr. Kobayashi’s clinic in Tokyo. I also hold degrees in fine art and anthropology, giving me a wide perspective on our human condition.
My discovery of acupuncture’s healing power began with my own health. I suffered from chronic pain and fatigue, severe allergies, and an unrelenting stomach condition. Multiple prescription medications had no effect. I reached a dead end with conventional allopathic medicine. I needed to find something different, so I tried acupuncture.
This decision was transformative. My pain levels dropped and my energy returned, my allergies disappeared, and my stomach healed. I discontinued all my prescription medications. After just a few short months of acupuncture treatment and supplemental nutrition I felt like a new person.
This is the kind of result I want to help you achieve.
