Help for pain that won’t let up
Gentle, drug-free care that eases what hurts and gets you moving again.
If you’ve been hurting for a while, you know pain takes up more than its share of room. It gets into your sleep, your work, your mood. Our job is to find what’s driving it and treat that, so the relief actually lasts.
It starts with finding the cause
A strained lower back, an arthritic knee, and a tension headache are very different problems, and they call for different care. So before we treat anything, we take the time to understand where your pain is really coming from. That means real questions and a careful exam, not a standard protocol.
One honest note: if your pain is sudden, severe, or comes with symptoms that worry you, see your physician first. For pain that lingers or keeps coming back, acupuncture is a safe, well-studied option, whether on its own or alongside the care you’re already getting.
How we helpWhat happens in treatment
Hair-thin needles placed at specific points help tight muscle let go and bring fresh circulation to the area. That calms inflammation and cues your body to release its own pain relievers. You’ll also leave with a few simple things to do at home, so the progress we make on the table holds up between visits.
Pain we commonly treat
- Low back & neck pain
- Sciatica & nerve pain
- Arthritis & joint pain
- Headaches & migraines
- Post-surgical & recovery pain
Often combined withRelated & adjunct therapies
Acupuncture anchors every treatment plan, but pain rarely lives in just one place. Depending on what we find, your session might also include:
Common questions
"Does acupuncture hurt?"
Far less than people expect. The needles are hair-thin and single-use. You might notice a brief, dull ache as a point activates, and then most people simply relax. Plenty fall asleep on the table.
"How many visits will I need?"
It depends on how long the pain has been around and what’s behind it. Recent injuries often improve within a few visits. Older, more stubborn pain usually takes a short course of care. Either way, we’ll give you an honest estimate at your first appointment.
"Can I combine it with other treatment?"
Yes, and we encourage it. Acupuncture pairs well with physical therapy, chiropractic, and conventional medicine. If you’d like, we’ll coordinate with your other providers so everyone’s working from the same plan.
"Movement keeps us alive. It's how we work, play, surf, and show up for the people we love. When pain takes that away, it takes more than comfort. It takes life. My job is to help you get it back."
Ready for relief? Start with a conversation.
Your first visit starts with time to talk through what hurts and what you’d like to get back to doing. Bring all your questions. New patients are always welcome.
