Hello, this is Jun, your acupuncturist.

We understand how frustrating it can be to have chronic pain in your neck, shoulders, or lower back that stops you from doing what you love, or just to survive your day with your fatigued mind and body.

It's easy to fall into the trap of hoping the pain will simply go away with rest and time, or popping painkillers for a temporary relief, if there is any. 

However, we know that these approaches don't address the root cause of the issue and can ultimately make matters worse in the long run, not to mention all the side effects of meds that tag along.

If you have seen other healthcare professionals without getting the improvement that you needed or you are told that there is not much that can be done for you, we empathize with your frustration.

Here is what my patients are telling me:

  • “There is a dull, aching discomfort that never goes away. Doctor says everything is normal and to take rest.”

  • “The pain wakes me up at night. I just take ibuprofen. I don’t want to take strong doses of painkillers.”

  • “I’m not sure if it’s my pillow or bed, I get stiff once in a while which leaves me sore and uncomfortable for a couple days.”

  • “I’m on my computer all day. I have been to a physical therapist and did some exercises. It did help but I still feel tight and stretching does not resolve it”

  • “I sleep OK. But I feel tired and sluggish especially when I wake up and in the afternoon. I wish I could have more energy to do what I used to be able to do without a problem.”

  • “I’m at the age where things start to fall apart. I just live with it.”

Any of these sound familiar?

We hope that you don't become skeptical about becoming a better version of yourself. We want you to know that we're here to help, and we'll do everything we can to assist you in making the right decision along your journey to living your life.

If you heard good things people say about acupuncture but you are not sure how it can help your situation, that’s great. We are here to answer your questions.

High-quality Sleep

High-quality sleep supports wellness by promoting physical restoration, improving mental clarity and enhancing cognitive functioning. It strengthens the immune system and provides energy and vitality for daily activities. 

Anti-inflammatory Diet

Anti-inflammatory diet is a way of eating that focuses on consuming foods that have anti-inflammatory properties while minimizing foods that promote inflammation in the body. This dietary approach can reduce inflammation, enhance nutrient absorption, and support overall well-being.

Optimal Movement

Exercise improves cardiovascular and metabolic health. Engaging in optimal movements allows us to carry out daily tasks with ease and experience a greater sense of well-being.

Stress, headaches & Emotional Issues

Pain medications may provide temporary relief for stress and headache, but they can also have negative side effects and be addictive. Acupuncture is a natural, safe alternative that effectively restores balance in the body, improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and increase concentration.

 

Chronic Pain Issues

Are you struggling with chronic pain? Acupuncture and cupping therapy can provide much-needed relief. These natural remedies work by stimulating the nervous and immune systems, activating various chemicals and hormones that help the body regulate itself. This leads to increased blood circulation and reduced inflammation, both of which can improve physical and emotional well-being.

 

Digestive Issues

Suffering from gastrointestinal issues like indigestion, bloating, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, or gastric pain? Acupuncture and herbal therapy, rooted in Chinese Medicine, can provide relief and prevent further health issues by bringing the body into balance. These natural remedies are also effective for detox and weight management.
