Comprehensive Treatment for All Types of Pain Conditions
From chronic pain to everyday tension, acupuncture offers natural relief by calming the nervous system, enhancing circulation, and activating the body’s own healing response. Below are some of the most common conditions we treat.
Back Pain (Upper & Lower)
Acupuncture helps relieve back pain by reducing inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and improving circulation. Many patients find relief without the need for medications or surgery.
Neck & Shoulder Pain
Whether it's tension from stress or a frozen shoulder, acupuncture can help ease stiffness, improve range of motion, and calm irritated nerves in the neck and shoulders.
Headaches & Migraines
By promoting blood flow and reducing muscle tension, acupuncture offers a natural approach to both preventing and relieving migraines and tension headaches—without side effects.
Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Acupuncture can soothe nerve irritation and inflammation around the spine, helping relieve sharp, radiating pain down the legs. It supports better mobility and long-term relief from nerve-related discomfort.
Knee & Joint Pain
Common in arthritis and overuse injuries, knee and joint pain respond well to acupuncture. Treatment helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and ease stiffness for better movement.
Hip Pain
Acupuncture helps decrease inflammation and relax the muscles surrounding the hip joint. It supports recovery from overuse, bursitis, or wear-and-tear conditions like osteoarthritis.
Wrist, Elbow & Hand Pain (Carpal Tunnel, Tennis Elbow)
By reducing inflammation and improving local circulation, acupuncture provides relief from repetitive strain injuries. It's especially useful for carpal tunnel syndrome and tendon-related pain.
Muscle Strain & Sports Injuries
Acupuncture supports faster healing by increasing blood flow and easing muscle tension. It’s commonly used for sprains, pulled muscles, and overuse injuries in athletes and active individuals.
What to Expect
Each treatment is tailored to your specific condition, comfort level, and goals. Most patients find the experience deeply relaxing, with benefits that build over time. We may also incorporate electrical stimulation, cupping, or heat therapy when appropriate.

What Our Patients Say
I’ve been seeing Dr. Thao to treat bursitis in my left shoulder. It’s been about 5–6 weeks now, and I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement—significantly less pain and much better range of motion. Dr. Thao has been great at explaining the process, adjusting treatments to my comfort level, and making sure my shoulder is healing well.

Geoffrey B.
I was first referred to Dr. Thao about 10 years ago when I was having issues with my right hand. I had lost some functionality, and all the doctors could offer were painkillers.
Dr. Thao, through acupuncture, was able to help me—thanks to her knowledge, care, professionalism, and attention to detail.Since then, anytime something needs to be addressed, I turn to Dr. Thao for help and always recommend her to others.
