Adriano Silva Bio
My name is Adriano Silva and I am a registered acupuncturist in Alberta.
I have been working as an acupuncturist since 2003 starting in the beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2009 I had to interrupt my career in order to immigrate to Canada.
I have a 4 year Bachelor degree in Physiotherapy and a 3 year Post-Grad degree in TCM acquired in Rio de Janeiro Brazil at ABACO CBA(Brazilian College of Acupuncture), where I am originally from.
I then specialized in Sports Medicine and Postural corrective techniques(Posturology and Postural Functional Rehabilitation). I also completed the Postural Clinical Pilates course at the same time. As I arrived in Canada I learned I had to return to school in order to apply for the Board exams. I then successfully started and completed the 3 year TCM(Tradicional Chinese Medicine)course at the ACATCM (Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine)and passed the board exams in 2021. I have been practicing for the last 2 years in my own clinic(Dr Adriano Silva Acupuncture), and the practice is growing every day.
My specialties and passion are Sports Medicine and Movement/Postural disorders. I share my time between my practice and ADirection Pilates, where I am the owner and Master instructor. I deeply believe our bodies’ health walk side by side with our mental health, that being said, I go above and beyond to help my patients/clients achieve their best mental balance. To achieve that I use a combination of TCM Acupuncture, Pilates and lifestyle change advising, which I call the Healing Trilogy.
In my spare time, I enjoy Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Swimming and specially Pilates training.
