Acupuncture for Pain & Muscle Tension
People commonly seek acupuncture for concerns involving:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Shoulder tension
- Upper and lower back discomfort
- Hip discomfort
- Knee discomfort
- Muscle tightness
- Headaches
- General body aches
- Tension associated with prolonged sitting or computer work
- Physical discomfort associated with everyday activity
Treatment recommendations vary depending on your individual condition and health history.
Neck & Shoulder Tension
Long hours at a desk, computer work, driving, stress, and repetitive movements can contribute to tension through the neck and shoulders.
Your treatment may include acupuncture around the affected area as well as additional points selected according to your overall Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern.
Cupping may also be incorporated when appropriate.
Back Pain
Back discomfort can develop for many different reasons and may feel different from person to person.
Some people experience stiffness or muscle tension, while others notice discomfort associated with sitting, movement, or certain activities.
Your acupuncture treatment is customized based on the location, pattern, and characteristics of your symptoms rather than using the same treatment for every patient.
Knee, Hip & Joint Wellness
Discomfort around the knees, hips, or other joints may affect everyday movement and activity.
Acupuncture may be used as part of an individualized wellness plan focused on supporting comfort, mobility, and overall physical function.
Your treatment plan will depend on your symptoms and health history.
Headaches & Tension
Headaches may occur alongside neck tension, stress, poor sleep, fatigue, or other factors.
Traditional Chinese Medicine considers both the location and nature of the headache as well as your overall health pattern when selecting acupuncture points.
This allows treatment to be tailored to the individual rather than focusing only on the painful area.
More Than the Area That Hurts
Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a whole-person approach.
During your consultation, we may also ask about:
- Sleep
- Stress
- Energy
- Digestion
- Physical activity
- Work habits
- Previous injuries
- Factors that improve or worsen your discomfort
This information helps us create a treatment plan that is personalized to you.
