Are you living with ongoing pain that interferes with your daily routine or prevents you from enjoying life fully? We specialize in helping individuals manage pain naturally—without the side effects of medication or invasive procedures. Whether your pain is acute or chronic, localized or systemic, our experienced practitioners use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to address the underlying imbalances contributing to your discomfort and help your body heal from within.
Understanding Pain and Pain Management
Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something is out of balance. It may stem from injury, inflammation, stress, or deeper systemic dysfunction. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain is often seen as a disruption in the flow of qi (vital energy) and blood. If circulation is blocked or energy is stagnant, the body responds with pain, tightness, or inflammation.
Unlike conventional approaches that may mask pain with pharmaceuticals, acupuncture works by promoting circulation, calming inflammation, and helping your body resolve the root issue—naturally.
How Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture is a proven method for treating a wide range of pain conditions. By inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, promotes the release of endorphins, and enhances the body’s ability to reduce inflammation and heal tissue. It can be effective for:
-
Chronic and acute pain conditions: neck pain, back pain, arthritis, shoulder pain, joint pain, hip pain, knee pain, and more.
-
Muscle tension and spasms
-
Nerve pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, and sciatica
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Post-surgical or injury-related recovery
-
Arthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint stiffness
-
Menstrual cramps or pelvic pain
Our treatments focus not just on immediate relief, but on creating lasting change by addressing the unique patterns that contribute to your pain.

Acupuncture to reduce inflammation and activate the body’s healing response
-
Herbal medicine to support tissue repair, reduce pain, or relieve tension
-

-
Lifestyle and movement recommendations to support your long-term recovery
