Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek acupuncture treatment. I work with both acute and chronic pain conditions, including back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches, joint pain, arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, nerve pain, sports injuries, and pain associated with inflammation, chronic illness, or recovery from injury.
My goal is not only to reduce pain, but also to helpimprove mobility, restore function, and support a return to the activities that matter most to you. Because pain can arise from multiple overlapping causes, the first few treatments are often used to better understand how your body responds and to determine the most effective treatment approach. Many people begin with weekly treatments, though for more severe pain, twice-weekly treatment may be recommended initially.
Acupuncture is increasingly integrated into conventional pain management.Many insurance plans in California provide acupuncture benefits, particularly for pain-related concerns.
