Renu Acupuncture’s Approach 
Is Personal And Different For Every Body
I

f you struggle with chronic 
pain or stress and anxiety, 
Valentina Anikeyeva has 
dedicated her career to helping 
you. Owner of Birmingham’s 
newly opened Renu Acupuncture, 
Valentina has over 25 years of 
experience in both western and 
eastern medicine and is passionate 
about using her unique skill set to 
help people improve their well-be-
ing and live pain-free without the 
harmful side effects of drugs.
“I love seeing the reaction 
of my patients when they get 
results,” Valentina says. “It’s what 
drives me every day. I see peo-
ple from all walks of life with all 
different ailments and I can give 
them relief.”
Renu treats a wide range of 
conditions from sports injuries to 
post-surgery pain to sciatica and 
lower back and neck pain to knee 
pain to headaches, migraines and 
stress, and more.
What makes Renu 
Acupuncture different from 
others is largely a culmination of 
three things.
First is Valentina’s breadth 
of education and experience, 
which spans 25 years and two 
continents. Valentina holds 
degrees from both Belarusian 
State Medical University and 
New York College of Health 
Professions. She is Board Certified 
(NCCAOM) and Licensed in the 
states of Michigan, New York 
and Florida and holds certifica-
tions in Advance Constitutional 
Facial Acupuncture, Spa/
Facial Acupuncture, Pandemic 
Preparedness Health (PPHC), and 
Advanced Treatments of Spine 
Injuries and Pain Management.
Having moved to the U.S. in her 
third year of medical school, she’s 
able to draw from different cul-

tural practices and perspectives 
to determine what works for each 
patient.
“Every person’s body is so dif-
ferent and each of my clients has 
their own unique journey that 
brings them to me,” she says. “It’s 
very personal, and I approach 
the treatments this way. I can 
combine different techniques and 
develop extremely tailored and 
customized treatments.”
She also has found herself in a 
uniquely qualified position in the 
state of Michigan due to new leg-
islation requirements. Until 2019 
there was no license regulation to 
practice Acupuncture in the state. 
Now Michigan requires NCCAOM 
Board Certification. Since this is 
a recent development there are 
very few board-certified licensed 
Acupuncturists in Michigan, and 
Valentina is one of them.
The second thing that makes 
Renu different is Valentina’s holis-
tic perspective and approach. 
She says, “I look at the whole 
person to determine where the 
pain might be coming from. 
Sometimes pain comes from a 
direct incident, like an auto acci-
dent or surgery. But other times 
it’s rooted in emotional trauma 
which manifests itself as pain. I 
see this a lot, and have the ability 
to develop treatment plans for 
both that can improve well-being 
and overall health.”
Differentiating her even further 
is the fact that Valentina has had 
her own journey with pain and 
anxiety that put her on the receiv-
ing end of a treatment she was 
originally skeptical of. 
Having immigrated to the U.S. 
while suffering back pain and 
anxiety, Valentina was also preg-
nant. Her uncle introduced her 
to Acupuncture and that defined 

her health and her career path.
Renu offers the following ser-
vices:
• Acupuncture
• Electro-Acupuncture
• Cupping
• Cupping Massage. 
• Cbd And Aromatherapy 
Treatments
• Shockwave Therapy
Regarding treatment plans 
and duration, Valentina 
approaches everyone differently 
saying “My goal is to get patients 
to a point where they are feel-
ing so good they don’t have to 
come back regularly, but it really 
depends on the patient.” 
When asked about new 
patients’ reactions, Valentina 
says, “They are usually sur-

prised. Most walk into their first 
treatment a bit skeptical, but 
acupuncture combined with my 
other services helps to release 
endorphins, ease pain, and pro-
mote circulation and blood flow, 
all of which speed up recovery 
and many other things. Simply 
put, it makes people happy and 
that’s what makes me happy.
Regarding the future of Renu 
Acupuncture, Valentina says, 
“The more people I can help to 
reduce pain, stress, and anxiety 
and improve their well-being 
and health the better. I look for-
ward to it.”
