Pain Changes Everything
You're Tired—But Your Body Won’t Let You Rest
You wake up already in pain—stiff, achy, and bracing yourself for the day.
You’ve had imaging or tests that show “nothing serious,” but you’re still hurting.
You rely on medications just to get through—but they don’t solve the problem.
You’ve tried physical therapy, injections, or even surgery with limited results.
You carry stress in your neck and shoulders, and it feels like it never lets up.
Migraines, tension headaches, or TMJ pain interrupt your focus, work, and sleep.
You’re finding it harder to enjoy the things you used to love—like golf, pickleball, gardening, or playing with your grandchildren.
You feel like your body is constantly inflamed, tense, or shutting down.
Pain can be isolating and invisible—but it’s not something you have to live with forever.
In Chinese medicine, pain is often the result of stagnation—when Qi (energy) and Blood don’t move freely through the channels of the body. This blockage can show up in many forms: sharp or stabbing pain, a dull constant ache, burning or tingling, heaviness or tightness. It may shift from place to place or feel deeply rooted in one stubborn spot.
But no matter how it shows up, pain is your body’s way of speaking to you—letting you know that something is out of balance. It’s not just a mechanical issue or a nuisance to be silenced. It’s a signal, asking for attention, nourishment, and release.
Instead of overriding that message with quick fixes, we listen.
We observe the patterns.
And then, we help the energy move again—gently, intentionally, and in partnership with your body’s natural intelligence.
This approach doesn’t just relieve discomfort in the moment—it helps retrain your body toward safety, circulation, and long-term ease.
In Chinese Medicine, Pain is a Sign of Stagnation
What Relief Looks Like Here
Our approach to pain is not just about “feeling better.” It’s about treating the root causes—whether they are mechanical, emotional, inflammatory, or energetic.
We use:
Acupuncture to reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, and restore circulation
Balance Method + Dr. Tan-style protocols to provide fast, targeted pain relief
Cupping or gua sha to release adhesions, tight fascia, and stuck areas
Auricular acupuncture to regulate the nervous system and reduce chronic pain signals
Chinese herbal formulas to nourish joints, support tissue repair, and reduce pain flares
Lifestyle support for sleep, hydration, posture, stress regulation, and healing movement
This work isn’t about masking pain—it’s about restoring freedom.
3 Steps to a New You*
-
Let's Meet
At your free initial consultation, you’ll meet with Dr. Taylor to discuss your painful body, your medical history, medications you are currently taking, and most importantly, your goals.
-
Let's Plan
After your free consultation with Dr. Taylor or Amy, and we agree that this program is a good fit for you, the next step forward is the Intake Appointment. Your treatment plan includes dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as herbal supplements to address the root of your pain concerns.
-
Let's Heal
You’ll return for weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel your body establishing a new pattern. We want to make sure your treatment plan is providing you with successes that you can see and feel.
-
Transitional Care
Once we see improvements that are maintained for 10 days or more, we will start spacing visits further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.”
We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you.

In Chinese medicine, we don’t just treat the pain. We treat the person living with it.
Our patients often come to us after months or years of being told to "just manage it." Here, we do things differently. We respect your body’s signals. We respond with tools that encourage circulation, calm inflammation, and rebuild strength over time.
This is about reconnecting you with a body that feels trustworthy again.
