Ready to Feel Better?

Integrative Pain Care, More Than Acupuncture Alone
Chronic pain is rarely caused by one factor alone. It often involves nervous system sensitivity, inflammation, circulation, and stress signaling.
Your care may include:
-
Acupuncture to help regulate pain signaling
-
Gentle neuromuscular and tissue support
-
Integrative approaches to inflammation
-
Nutritional and metabolic support when appropriate
This personalized, integrative approach allows us to support pain relief safely and effectively.
Will This Interfere With My Other Medical Care?
No. Acupuncture and integrative therapies are commonly used alongside conventional medical treatment. There are very few contraindications, and care does not interfere with medications, physical therapy, injections, or post-surgical recovery.
Many patients choose this care specifically because it:
-
Does not require stopping other treatments
-
Supports pain relief without adding medications
-
Fits safely into an existing care plan
Arthritis & Chronic Inflammation We Treat
We commonly support patients with:
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Rheumatoid arthritis

-
Autoimmune-related joint pain
-
Chronic inflammation affecting joints and soft tissue
Our goal is to calm inflammation, improve circulation, and help you move more comfortably again.
When Should You Start Pain Treatment?
The simple answer: sooner rather than later.
Starting care earlier often means:
-
Better response to treatment
-
Less progression of symptoms
-
More comfortable recovery
If pain is already interfering with your daily life, this is your signal to begin.
Is This Right for You?
This pain evaluation is ideal if:
-
Pain has lasted longer than expected
-
You want relief without aggressive treatment
-
You are already seeing other providers
-
You’re ready to take the next step toward feeling better
If this sounds like you, this is where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can acupuncture really help chronic pain?
Yes. Many patients experience meaningful relief when pain signaling, inflammation, and nervous system stress are addressed together.
How soon will I notice improvement?
Some patients notice changes quickly, while others benefit from a short course of care. Your plan is individualized based on your history and goals.
Is this safe if I take medications?
In most cases, yes. Acupuncture is commonly used alongside medications and other medical treatments.
Do I need imaging or a diagnosis first?
Not always. If you have imaging, bring it, but you can still begin with a pain evaluation based on symptoms and history.
Don’t Let Pain Decide for You
Pain quietly limits life, movement, energy, sleep, and enjoyment, one day at a time. You don’t have to accept that as normal. At Anchor Point Acupuncture, relief begins with a gentle, integrative approach designed to support healing, not add stress.
Most patients tell us they wish they had started sooner.
