Acupuncture for Pain
The LIC Acupuncture & Wellness Difference
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
You’ll meet one-on-one with a licensed practitioner to discuss your symptoms, health history, and goals. We’ll help you understand your options and whether acupuncture — or any of our services — is a good fit.
Your First Treatment
The session begins with a focused review of your health history and symptoms to get a clear picture of what’s going on. Your practitioner may perform a brief assessment, either at the start or during the session. In many cases, the intake conversation provides enough insight to begin treatment right away.
Treatment will include a targeted acupuncture protocol tailored to your condition. Depending on your needs and comfort level, it may also include manual techniques like cupping or soft tissue work.
Many patients leave feeling more relaxed, with noticeable improvements in pain, tension, or mobility. For chronic or complex conditions, results typically build over a series of sessions.
