Acupuncture 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 simply enjoy life. At LIC Acupuncture & Wellness in Long Island City, we help patients overcome pain so they can get back to the things that matter.
When relief matter, you need a plan that works.
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 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.

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
You’ll meet one-on-one with a licensed practitioner to discuss your symptoms, health history, and goals. We’ll review your options and determine whether acupuncture — or any of our services — is the right fit for you.
Your First Treatment
The session begins with a focused review of your health history and symptoms to gain a clear understanding of your condition. Your practitioner may perform a brief assessment at the start or during the session. In many cases, the intake conversation provides enough insight to begin treatment right away.
Your treatment will include a targeted acupuncture session tailored to your condition. When appropriate, your practitioner may also incorporate supportive therapies such as cupping, e-stim, gua sha, or infrared therapy. These techniques are chosen to enhance circulation, release muscle tension, and support faster recovery.
Many patients leave their first visit feeling more relaxed, with improvements in pain, tension, or mobility often beginning within the first few sessions. For chronic or complex conditions, results typically build gradually over a series of treatments.
