Most of the people who find us have already tried the obvious things. In Chinese medicine, pain is understood as obstruction — qi and blood blocked from moving freely through the channels. Where there is free flow, there is no pain. Acupuncture restores that flow, reduces inflammation, resets nerve signaling, and addresses the root pattern driving the pain — not just the location where you feel it. That's why it often works when other approaches have reached their limit.
Migraines & Headaches
Tension, cluster, hormonal — if you're managing these with medication and they keep coming back, acupuncture addresses the root pattern. Most people see meaningful reduction in frequency within 4–6 sessions.
Neck & Back Pain
Whether it's a disc issue that's been building for years or a muscle strain that won't resolve, we work with the physical structure and the nervous system maintaining the tension.
Knee & Hip Pain
Arthritis, bursitis, post-surgical recovery — acupuncture reduces inflammation and improves circulation in ways that often surprise people who've tried everything else.
Shoulder Pain
Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff issues, tendinitis — these respond well to acupuncture, especially when PT has plateaued. We often work alongside your physical therapist.
Sciatica
That sharp, radiating pain from the low back through the glute and down the leg — one of the most common conditions we treat, and one of the most consistently responsive. We address the nerve compression, the inflammatory environment around the disc or piriformis, and the pain signaling loop that keeps it running.
Fibromyalgia
Widespread pain, exhaustion that doesn't lift, sleep that doesn't restore. This is a complex pattern and we treat it as one — not as a list of separate symptoms.
Pelvic Pain
Menstrual pain, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor dysfunction, and pain with intercourse — often dismissed or undertreated in conventional medicine. Acupuncture works with the pelvic structures, local circulation, and the nervous system patterns that keep the pain cycle running. We offer dedicated pelvic floor acupuncture with Janaye Volk, L.Ac., who specializes in this work.
Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains, tears, and overuse injuries — acupuncture speeds recovery and reduces the scar tissue formation that leads to chronic problems later. We work well alongside PT.
