Living with chronic pain can quietly reshape every part of life—how you move, sleep, work, and relate to others. Conditions such as chronic neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, sciatica, and fibromyalgia are often persistent, multifactorial, and frustrating to treat with standard approaches alone. At Atma Health & Acupuncture, we specialize in helping patients manage chronic pain by addressing both the physical drivers of pain and the nervous system patterns that keep pain cycles active.

Acupuncture is particularly effective for chronic pain because it works on multiple levels at once. Treatments help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, calm irritated nerves, and downregulate chronic stress responses that sensitize the body to pain. Many pain patterns develop from overuse, repetitive strain, poor posture, or old injuries that never fully resolved. Others are compounded by inflammation, sleep disruption, and long-term nervous system overload. Our care is designed to meet you where you are and adapt as your body changes.

Our providers commonly treat:

• Chronic neck and shoulder tension

• Low back pain and disc-related pain

• Sciatica and radiating nerve pain

• Fibromyalgia and widespread pain syndromes

• Pain related to old injuries, accidents, or repetitive strain

Treatment plans may include acupuncture alone or be combined with adjunctive therapies such as cupping or therapeutic manual work to further release tension, improve mobility, and support tissue healing. Sessions are individualized and paced thoughtfully, especially for patients who have lived with pain for many years or who are sensitive to flare-ups.

Many patients report meaningful improvements with acupuncture: less daily pain, fewer flare-ups, better sleep, improved range of motion, and a greater sense of ease in their bodies. Acupuncture can be used safely alongside medications, physical therapy, injections, or other medical care, and we are happy to coordinate with your broader healthcare team when appropriate.

Chronic pain does not mean your body is broken. Often, it means your system has been stuck in a protective pattern for too long. Our goal is to help unwind those patterns, restore circulation and movement, and support your body in finding a more stable, resilient baseline—so pain no longer runs the show.
