Adrian Baume, L.Ac

Adrian Baume, L.Ac is a Chico acupuncture practice with roots in the area dating back to 1981. Built through a family lineage and continued across generations, the practice is known for a distinctive approach shaped by Richard Baume’s seven years of study in Japan and refined through care for thousands of patients from Chico and surrounding communities. Treatments emphasize gentle, extremely shallow needle insertion designed to be painless, making acupuncture approachable for children and for people who are anxious about needles. The practice is also associated with a dynamic stretching program focused on strength, flexibility, posture, and overall physical balance. Its local reputation includes best acupuncturist honors from readers of the Chico Enterprise-Record, the Oroville Mercury News, and the Paradise Post in 2016 and 2019.
