Your Back Isn’t Just a Structure.
It’s the center of your strength, movement, and daily life. Back pain can feel exhausting — physically and emotionally. Whether it’s from stress, posture, overuse, injury, or chronic tension, it affects your ability to live comfortably and fully.
You may feel:
• tightness or stiffness
• sharp or aching pain
• limited mobility
• soreness from sitting or standing
• tension radiating into the hips or legs
• emotional fatigue from the ongoing discomfort
You deserve relief, comfort, and support — not temporary fixes.
Acupuncture offers a natural, effective, and deeply calming approach to helping your back heal.
How Acupuncture Helps Back Pain
Acupuncture works by:
• Releasing muscle tension

• Improving circulation to injured or tight areas

• Reducing inflammation

• Calming nerve irritation
• Supporting spinal alignment

• Balancing the body's energetic pathways
• Relaxing the nervous system
Many patients feel a shift during their very first session — a sense of lightness, warmth, or relief that often grows with continued care.
Your body wants to heal. Acupuncture helps open that pathway.
​​
A Gentle, Experienced, Intuitive Approach
Every session is customized based on how your back feels that day.
I combine:
• Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Musculoskeletal acupuncture
• Fascial release techniques
• Stress + nervous system calming
• Optional intuitive energetic support
• Breath and grounding guidance
Because back pain is rarely just physical.
It often reflects:
• stress the body is carrying
• emotional tension stored in the spine
• exhaustion
• compensation patterns
• a need for deeper rest and support
Your body speaks. Together we listen.
