Back, Joint & Muscle Pain Relief
in Long Island City
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.
“I’ve been seeing them for sciatica, wrist pain, and back spasm — with great relief of pain and muscle tension.”
What We Treat
We treat musculoskeletal and orthopedic pain with acupuncture and dry needling — precise, targeted techniques matched to your condition.
Back Pain & Sciatica
Back pain and sciatica can interfere with work, training, and daily movement. We calm irritated nerves, release tight muscles, and reduce inflammation — restoring 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. We reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and address the postural strain or nerve irritation that keeps discomfort coming back — for 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. We 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, disrupt sleep, and make everyday activities feel harder than they should. We use targeted treatments to address irritated nerves, long-term muscle tension, protective guarding, and the mechanisms that may be driving repeated flare-ups — helping you feel more comfortable, more capable, and less limited day to day.
Don’t let pain hold you back.
Our Method
We focus on more than temporary symptom relief. Treatment is designed to reduce pain, calm irritated nerves, release chronic muscle tension, and address the patterns that may be keeping symptoms active.
Care is one-on-one and built around your specific problem — whether that means getting back to work, training, exercise, or daily life with less pain and more confidence.
What Patients Are Saying
I came to LIC after persistent pain, even though the X-rays showed nothing wrong. After five sessions, the pain gradually but completely went away.
— Jaewon C.I couldn't move my neck in any direction and was in constant pain. After the first session, my pain got slightly better for the first time in days, and over two weeks it went away entirely and I recovered 100% of my neck mobility.
— Poppy L.I started coming in because of shoulder pain. The team helped me regain full range of motion and strength, and also addressed numbness in my hands and elbow that turned out to be related to my shoulder.
— Kevin C.Excruciating pain in my lower back and down my right leg — it was too painful to walk. My recovery has been steady and I'm now feeling 100% and back at the gym.
