Pain Management

Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out acupuncture—and for good reason. Acupuncture is a time-tested, evidence-supported approach to relieving both acute and chronic pain by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, calming the nervous system, and promoting the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

At Fern Acupuncture and Family Wellness, we treat a wide range of pain conditions, including:

• Back, neck, and shoulder pain

• Migraines and tension headaches

• Joint pain, arthritis, and sciatica

• Menstrual pain and pelvic discomfort

• Sports injuries and overuse syndromes

• TMJ and facial tension

• Fibromyalgia and nerve pain

While pain relief often brings people through the door, many find that the benefits of acupuncture go far beyond symptom management. Patients often report better sleep, reduced anxiety, enhanced mood, improved digestion, and a deep sense of relaxation and well-being after treatment. This is because acupuncture doesn’t just target pain—it treats the whole person.

Using the lens of Classical Five Element Acupuncture, Dr. Elise works to address both the physical and emotional roots of pain, helping you find relief in body, mind, and spirit. Each session is personalized to your condition, your constitution, and your goals for healing.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic discomfort, or simply looking for a more natural way to feel better in your body, acupuncture offers a powerful, holistic approach to pain relief—and so much more.
