Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine

⎯ WHAT WE OFFER

Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Acupuncture uses very thin, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural healing processes. Research supports it for many types of pain, and the evidence is growing for stress, sleep, and hormonal health. We tailor every session to your symptoms and goals — drawing on traditional East Asian approaches alongside orthopedic, neuromuscular, and trigger-point techniques, scalp and auricular acupuncture, scar therapy, and electrical stimulation, as appropriate.

  • Scalp acupuncture
  • Auricular acupuncture
  • Trigger-point techniques
  • Electrical stimulation
  • Scar therapy

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is prescribed here as a targeted clinical therapy — not off-the-shelf supplements. Formulas are selected and modified based on your full health history, current symptoms, and lab findings, then monitored over time for response, tolerability, and safety. We work within East Asian herbal traditions while staying current on herb-drug interactions and contraindications, and we'll coordinate with your other providers when relevant.

  • Custom formulas
  • Lab-informed
  • Monitored over time
  • Herb-drug safety

Myofascial Therapy

Myofascial therapy treats soft-tissue pain and restricted movement at the source — muscles, tendons, and fascial tissue. Sessions may include tuina (therapeutic massage), cupping, gua sha, trigger-point release, and corrective exercise guidance, depending on what your body needs. It pairs naturally with acupuncture and is often integrated into the same visit, but can also be used as a standalone treatment for musculoskeletal complaints.

  • Tuina
  • Cupping
  • Gua sha
  • Trigger-point release
  • Corrective exercise

Integrative Care

Integrative care brings modern conventional medicine into your Chinese medicine treatment. When we need a deeper look, targeted lab work helps refine your plan, and we make one change at a time so we always know what’s helping. No shelf of supplements, no paying for guesswork. And if something calls for more expertise, we bring in the right provider as another pillar of your care, while we stay part of your team.

  • Dietary guidance
  • Targeted lab work
  • One change at a time
  • Provider coordination

⎯ HOW WE WORK

Care Built Around You

Health care is rarely one-size-fits-all. Your body is multifaceted, and different concerns often call for different tools.

What You Can Expect

  • A thorough intake. Your first visit includes time to understand your full health history, not just your chief complaint.

  • An honest treatment plan. We’ll tell you what we expect to help with, what realistic timelines look like, and when a referral makes more sense.

  • Coordinated care. We work with your primary care provider, OB/GYN, or specialist—not in isolation from them.

  • No pressure. We'll never upsell you on services you don't need or packages that don't fit your situation.

  • Lab ordering and review. When clinically indicated, we’ll review your existing labs or recommend targeted bloodwork to guide and track your treatment. Labs are billed separately.

  • Lifestyle guidance. Sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition recommendations are part of every treatment plan—not an add-on.

  • Affirming, respectful language. All patients are welcome. We provide LGBTQ+-affirming and trauma-informed care at every visit.

    “There are only a handful of healthcare providers I can genuinely say have changed my life for the better—Dr. Bustillo is one of them. From the very first visit, he made me feel like family. I came into acupuncture with a degree of skepticism about how much it could help me, but Dr. Bustillo taught me patience and how to begin trusting my body again. Not only did he heal my physical symptoms, but he was also incredibly intuitive and responsive to my emotional well-being.”

    Dr. Bustillo is exceptional and is so talented, I’m so grateful he’s shared his gifts and expertise with me through Baylor Scott & White’s integrated medicine division over the past 5+ years. There are few people in the world like Dr. Bustillo who are knowledgeable and compassionate to such an extraordinary degree - thank you for your years of service in Austin!

    My experience with Dr. Bustillo was exceptional. Not only is he highly skilled in his field, but he also shows a genuine care and compassion for his patients. He is truly an outstanding person to have on your healthcare team, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for acupuncture. I am incredibly grateful to have been his patient and wish him all the best in his move to Oregon.

    Anyone who finds themselves lucky enough to call Dr. Bustillo their doctor knows that he is the absolute best at what he does in so many ways! I came to him first for shoulder pain, and then for help with fertility needs. He is attentive, caring, kind and always made me feel like I was in the best hands for the care I needed at the moment. He is a gem of a person - as both an acupuncturist and a human being.

    I came to Dr. Bustillo after experiencing pain in my lower back for years. After one session I was able to stand straight. After six sessions I was able to travel out of the country walk for miles and never experienced any problems. Later in the year I was told I needed to have surgery for a torn rotator cuff. I went to see Dr. Bustillo again and have not need to have surgery. I would recommend him without hesitation as one of the finest human beings I have ever met as well as a skilled and talented doctor in the field of acupuncture and wellness. He is leaving the Austin Area and if necessary I will travel to wherever he is. He is just that good.
