What can acupuncture help you with?
Acupuncture is an ancient Eastern technique that can help with various physical and mental ailments. Through the use of small needles, the energy pathways in the body (meridians) are stimulated to allow life energy (Qi) to flow freely again. This creates more balance in the body, reduces pain, and calms the mind. Acupuncture is a safe technique, and in most cases, the insertion of the needles is barely felt.

My way of treatment
Hej, my name is Igor Corbeau, and I’m an acupuncturist from Holland who recently settled near Järnavik in Blekinge. I’m taking my Swedish classes, but for now I’ll be talking in English during consultations to be sure that I understand you fully. You can visit my practice for the treatment of pain, illness, fatigue, stress-related complaints, and unexplained or chronic complaints.
The first visit is always an intake, during which we discuss your symptoms in detail and draw up a diagnosis and treatment plan. During the session you will also receive your first treatment: laying down on a comfortable treatment bench you can totally relax while the acupuncture needles balance your body and mind. The first visit will take approximately 90 minutes in total.
Drawing on my background in psychology, I place great value on the mental well-being of the patient in my practice. Illnesses and pain can negatively affect mood, just as stress and emotional issues can weaken the body. I therefore find it important to truly listen to someone and to take more time to do so if needed. For a follow up consultation I reserve 75 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes or less. This way, there is no need to rush if more time is required.
In addition to acupuncture treatments, I also offer:
- Moxa and cupping
- Qigong exercises
- Meditation
- Coaching and mental support
- Nutritional advice
- Lifestyle advice
The practice
The acupuncture treatments take place in a fully renovated cottage with wonderful views of nature. Everything is designed to create the most relaxing experience possible: a peaceful but secluded view into the woods in the treatment room, a lot of natural light, an extra wide electrical treatment bench and a soft pillow to rest your head on. Järnavik Akupunktur meets all hygiene requirements of the municipality. Have a look at the practice below:
Education
I completed my acupuncture education at Bo Yi Academy in Holland, which is a 3 year HBO (Higher Professional Education) compliant training. Additionally, I completed the one year Basic Medical Knowledge course at Con Amore Education, and I’m a university graduate in Clinical Psychology (Utrecht University). I have been practicing qigong for 25 years and I have been a certified Qigong teacher since 2013. I am a member of the Svenska Akupunkturförbundet.

Testimonials
I quickly felt comfortable and heard with Igor. He asked the right questions to see where the ‘problems’ come from and explained clearly what he was going to do.
After three treatments and supportive sessions, I had much more energy and also knew how to maintain my balance in life. So many new insights! Thank you, Igor!
Igor has helped me tremendously in rebalancing my kidney energy. He’s adept at analyzing the underlying issues and identifying the meridians and acupuncture points that contribute to my condition. After a few sessions, everything felt so much better! Thank you so much, Igor.
After three treatments, I’m free of the stiff lower back I’ve been dealing with for 20 years! It’s incredibly wonderful that it worked, and thank you so much, Igor!
Qigong and Acupuncture
Qigong (also written as Chi Kung or Qi Gong) originates from the same tradition as acupuncture. It consists of simple, gentle exercises that promote your health. You could view it as a kind of inner acupuncture. By making flowing movements with attention, you stimulate the energy flows in your body and create a pleasant state of relaxation. The exercises are easy to learn and suitable for all ages. By doing Qigong exercises occasionally alongside acupuncture treatments, you can significantly enhance the effect of the treatment. If you’re open to it I can always accompany the acupuncture treatment with some recommended Qigong exercises for you to do at home.
