Orthopedic acupuncture combines traditional Chinese medicine with a modern understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy to address acute and chronic pain conditions. At Arizona Valley Acupuncture, we specialize in helping patients recover from injuries, manage chronic orthopedic conditions, and avoid unnecessary surgeries—all through the power of targeted, therapeutic acupuncture.

Back & Neck Pain

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek orthopedic care. Whether it stems from poor posture, disc issues, muscle tension, or long hours at a desk, our orthopedic acupuncture treatments focus on relieving pressure, improving circulation, and relaxing tight musculature. We utilize motor point and trigger point acupuncture techniques to release deep-seated tension, helping you regain comfort and mobility.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can be debilitating, affecting daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for extended periods. Our acupuncture treatments for knee issues—whether due to arthritis, injury, or overuse—reduce inflammation, increase synovial fluid circulation, and improve range of motion. We often integrate adjunctive therapies such as cupping, electrical stimulation, and herbal liniments for enhanced outcomes.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis presents as stabbing heel pain, often worst in the morning. Acupuncture is highly effective in managing this condition by targeting the fascia, reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow to the heel and arch of the foot. Many patients report substantial improvement after just a few treatments, avoiding the need for steroid injections or orthotics.

Sciatic Nerve Pain

Sciatica is characterized by shooting pain radiating from the lower back down the leg. Our targeted acupuncture approach helps calm the sciatic nerve by addressing trigger points in the glutes, piriformis muscle, and lumbar spine. With consistent treatments, we reduce nerve irritation and improve functional movement, making daily activities more manageable and less painful.

Surgery Avoidance

One of the most powerful benefits of orthopedic acupuncture is its ability to help patients delay or avoid surgery. By treating the root causes of pain and dysfunction—whether structural imbalance, nerve impingement, or muscular tightness—many patients find long-term relief and improved function without going under the knife.

Surgery Recovery

For patients who have undergone surgery, acupuncture supports recovery by reducing post-operative pain, minimizing inflammation, and accelerating tissue healing. It also helps decrease reliance on pain medications and improves outcomes when integrated into a physical therapy or rehabilitation plan. Our treatments focus on enhancing circulation to the affected area and restoring normal muscle function.
