Acupuncture & Dry Needling for Pain Relief
Expert Care for Back, Joint, Muscle, and Nerve Pain
Pain doesn’t just hurt — it holds you back. It can make it harder to work, stay active, or perform at your best. At LIC Acupuncture & Wellness in Long Island City, we help patients overcome pain through expert acupuncture and dry needling — so they can get back to the things that matter.
When relief matters.
What We Treat
Back Pain & Sciatica
Back pain and sciatica can interfere with work, training, and daily movement. We use acupuncture to calm irritated nerves, release tight muscles, and reduce inflammation. By addressing these factors together, we help restore strength, mobility, and long-term comfort.

Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain often makes it hard to focus at work, sleep well, or stay active. Our treatments reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and address postural strain or nerve irritation that keep discomfort coming back. The result is less pain and greater freedom of movement.

TMJ, Jaw Tension & Headaches
Jaw clenching can cause pain, tension, and headaches that disrupt daily life. We treat the local muscles around the jaw as well as surrounding areas like the neck and shoulders, addressing alignment issues and imbalances that may be contributing to the problem. The result: less strain, reduced pressure, and greater comfort.

Sports Injuries & Sprains
Sprains, strains, and training injuries can stop you in your tracks. We use targeted acupuncture and dry needling to relieve pain and restore mobility, helping you return to workouts, training, and daily life with confidence.
Joint & Muscle Pain
Knee, hip, and other joint or muscle pain can make movement difficult and interfere with daily life. Our treatments target irritated joints and overworked muscles to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support long-term recovery.
Chronic Pain & Nerve Pain
Chronic pain and nerve irritation can drain energy and make daily life harder. We use acupuncture to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and reduce flare-ups over time — helping you feel more comfortable and capable day to day.
Don’t let pain hold you back.
Our Method
Our approach is designed to relieve pain and restore mobility so you can perform at your best — in work, training, and daily life.
1. Direct Treatment
Targeted treatment to ease pain, release tight muscles, and calm irritated nerves.
2. Address Contributing Factors
We correct muscle and joint imbalances that create strain and dysfunction — restoring function and mobility.
3. Accelerate Recovery
Enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells to support tissue repair for faster recovery.
Depending on your condition and goals, we may use acupuncture and dry needling to address pain from multiple angles for more effective outcomes.
Why Our Patients Get Real Relief
Whole Person Approach
Pain isn’t always just physical. Stress, poor sleep, and other systemic factors can contribute to inflammation, tension, and delayed recovery. Our treatments are designed to identify and address these underlying contributors — which is why many of our patients experience meaningful relief, even when other therapies haven’t worked.
Personalized Treatments
No two bodies are the same — and pain doesn’t show up the same way for everyone. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every session is one-on-one and tailored to your needs, your history, and your goals. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or simply trying to feel better in your body, we’ll help create a plan that fits.
Expert Care
Our practitioners are fully licensed, highly trained, and focused on getting you better. They bring a strong clinical background and a proven track record of delivering real results for patients in pain.
What to Expect
Consultation
A one-on-one discussion of your symptoms, health history, and goals. We’ll determine whether acupuncture, dry needling, or another service is the right fit.
Your First Treatment
A targeted treatment tailored to your condition. When appropriate, supportive therapies such as cupping, e-stim, or soft-tissue techniques may be added to improve circulation, release tension, and accelerate recovery.
Progress
Many patients notice relief or improvements within the first few sessions. Chronic or complex conditions typically improve gradually with a structured series of treatments.
