Auricular Electroacupuncture
A modern technique using gentle electrical stimulation on acupuncture points in the ear. This method targets the nervous system to support fast, whole-body healing with minimal needle use.
Body Acupuncture
Japanese dry needling acupuncture targets imbalances in the body’s energy pathways. This method uses ultra-fine needles and touch-based diagnosis to relieve pain, release tension, and restore internal balance
Moxibustion
A warming therapy that uses the herb moxa to stimulate energy flow and support the immune system. Especially useful for fatigue, cold conditions, or areas of stagnation. Applied with care, moxibustion gently encourages healing and balance in the body.
How We Work
Dunedin Acupuncture offers a restorative approach for people who feel stuck, whether it’s chronic pain, inflammation, or health issues that haven’t improved elsewhere.
About Tim
Tim Casey’s journey into acupuncture began with a life-changing recovery from injury. With over 25 years of experience, he now specialises in advanced Japanese and auricular electroacupuncture, helping people restore balance and move through long-standing health issues with calm, precise care.
Professional Training
Tim is trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has studied advanced Japanese techniques in Tokyo, including Toyohari and Dr Manaka’s protocols. Most recently, he’s incorporated electroacupuncture—an innovative ear-based system—into his practice for faster, more effective results.
Client-Centered Approach
Tim’s treatments are thoughtful, tailored, and focused on helping your body heal itself. Using a combination of tactile diagnosis and gentle techniques, he works with—not against—the body to support deep, lasting change, especially when other options haven’t worked.
Client Feedback
"Tim has been my earth angel since my disc prolapsed on my sacrum a few yrs ago. I wouldn't be here today and without surgery if it wasn't for his expertise and care. There is no other health practitioner that I trust more or feel safer with. He is one of a kind and Dunedin is very lucky to have him! I've recommended him to many folks over the yrs and I know he is deeply appreciated by many of us in the community 🙏"

"I'd highly recommend Tim to anybody who is going through any discomfort in their bodies - big or small, I truly believe Tim can help and bring the body back into alignment.
I started my acupuncture appointments because of my huge period pain and now I'm feeling much better in my overall well-being.
He's professional, gentle with the needles, very knowledgeable, understanding of the pain and how the body-mind works and explains it in an easy way for me to understand also which I very much appreciate. I'm very grateful I found him and will continue my appointments on my healing journey as well as a prevention that will keep me healthy."

"Shout out to Tim Casey my Acupuncture Specialist. Tim's been treating me over the last year, and I'm in a much better space than I was a year ago. He is professional, and knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of an alternative route to any treatment. : )"

"I have been seeing Tim for acupuncture and he has been amazing! I originally went to him for some recurring back pain, and after just one treatment, my pain was significantly reduced. Tim has a lovely and welcoming manner, and he takes the time to really listen and understand your needs. Since then, I have been going to him regularly for other issues and have seen a noticeable improvement in my overall health and wellbeing. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist."
