Acupuncture for Pain and Injuries

Pain can affect movement, sleep, work, exercise, and your ability to enjoy daily life. Whether your pain is recent, recurring, or long-standing, acupuncture and Chinese medicine may be used to support recovery, mobility, and pain management.

At [Clinic Name], treatment is tailored to the location, type, and history of your pain, as well as your overall health and lifestyle.

How acupuncture may support pain and injuries

Chinese medicine looks at pain through the movement of qi and blood, the health of the muscles and joints, and the effect of cold, heat, tension, inflammation, or strain in the body.

People commonly seek acupuncture support for concerns such as:

Neck and shoulder pain

Back pain

Hip pain

Knee pain

Headaches

Muscle tightness

Sports injuries

Repetitive strain

Jaw tension

General aches and pains

Treatment may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, gentle movement advice, and lifestyle recommendations where appropriate.

What to expect

Your first appointment includes a discussion of your pain history, aggravating and relieving factors, movement patterns, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and relevant medical history. Your practitioner may also assess the affected area to understand how your pain presents.

Treatment is adapted to your comfort level. Acupuncture points may be used locally around the area of pain, distally on other parts of the body, or both.

If your symptoms suggest the need for medical imaging, urgent care, or assessment by another provider, we will recommend appropriate referral.
