Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek acupuncture. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury, a recurring problem, or pain that has become part of everyday life, acupuncture can be used as part of an individualized approach to pain management.

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I have worked with patients experiencing a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions. Treatment is tailored to the individual—not just the location of the pain—and takes into consideration your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and any other care you may be receiving.

Acupuncture may be used on its own or alongside conventional medical care, physical therapy, exercise, and other approaches to pain management. Depending on your needs, treatment may also incorporate cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and practical self-care recommendations.

Conditions I commonly work with include:

Back and neck pain

Sciatica

Shoulder pain

Hip and knee pain

Arthritis and joint pain

Muscle tension and stiffness

Headaches and migraines

TMJ-related pain

Fibromyalgia

Carpal tunnel symptoms

Sports and overuse injuries

Sprains and strains

Menstrual pain

Chronic and persistent pain

A More Individual Approach to Pain

Pain is rarely exactly the same from one person to another. My goal is to understand what you are experiencing, how it is affecting your daily life, and what other factors may be contributing to it. From there, we develop a treatment approach appropriate for you.
