About Dr. Vj

Arun Vijayan Dr. Ac., M.Ac, MSc Osteopathy, F. Ort. Rehab

Licensed Acupuncturist / Certified Neuropuncturist.

Dr. Vj is a highly experienced professional Doctor of Acupuncture and a manual medicine specialist from India. 

A non-western doctor he is also a qualified traditional yoga teacher.

His story started when the desire to discover the world and passion for helping people led him to the United States and on world-wide cruises where he successfully treated over twenty five thousand patients over a period of 10 years as an Acupuncture Physician. This gave him immense experience and motivated him constantly to upgrade his knowledge in order to better serve the ones in need. 

Dr. Vijayan is also a Certified Neuropuncturist, the sole practitioner in the UK certified by the Neuropuncture Foundation in the United States.

He has completed a Postgraduate programme in Neuroscience Acupuncture under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Corradino, the renowned pioneer of Neuropuncture.  Dr. Vijayan Is currently engaged in research on the effectiveness of neuroscience acupuncture for major depressive disorder under the guidance of Dr. Michael Corradino, DNA, DAOM and Dr. Patrick Conte, MD Nuclear Medicine.

Neuropuncture is a comprehensive and precise neuroscience based acupuncture system developed by Dr. Corradino delivering consistent and replicable treatment outcomes in clinical settings, focusing on neuro-modulating, neuro-rehabilitating or neuro-regulating the nervous system to restore health.

Each illness or symptom is believed to have a specific underlying neuro root pathology which neuropuncturists, like Dr. Vijayan, diagnose using advanced medical sciences of the 21st century.

The approach targets the root cause of conditions to promote healing and repair.

Neuropuncture has shown effectiveness in treating various neurological disorders such as brain injuries, multiple sclerosis & Parkinson’s disease.  It also provides benefits for patients with ADHD, ADD (Autism), severe anxiety, depression and chronic pain. 

In addition to his professional practice, Dr Vijayan is furthering his education by pursuing a Masters in Public Heath with a specialisation in Global Health at the University of Wolverhampton, this academic pursuit reflects his commitment to advancing healthcare on a broader scale
