Acupuncture for Pain & Injury Relief
in Lawrence, KS
At Tripoint Acupuncture Plus, we know how frustrating and life-altering pain can be. Whether it’s the constant ache of arthritis, the sharp pull of a recent injury, or the lingering discomfort of autoimmune symptoms, chronic and acute pain impacts every part of your life. That’s why we take a compassionate, whole-body approach to treating pain and injury—so you can start feeling like yourself again.
Our acupuncture clinic in Lawrence offers thoughtful, results-driven acupuncture for pain relief in Lawrence, KS and the surrounding communities. We combine centuries-old Chinese medicine practices with advanced modern techniques to treat the root of your pain — not just mask the symptoms.
So if you’re tired of reaching for pills or feeling dismissed by other healthcare providers, we’re here to offer something different: time-tested healing, individualized care, and a real path to recovery.
How Acupuncture Helps with Pain and Recovery
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body that activate your natural healing processes. By inserting thin, sterile needles into carefully selected areas, we help your body:
- Improve circulation
- Reduce inflammation
- Calm the nervous system
- Release endorphins (your body’s natural pain relievers)
- Restore balance to injured or overworked areas
What makes our care different is that we don’t just treat the site of the pain — we address the body as a whole. That means we also examine and provide acupuncture for sleep, digestion, stress levels, and lifestyle so we can build a treatment plan that’s as individualized as you are.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you visit us for pain or injury treatment, we’ll start with a full consultation to understand your health history, current symptoms, and goals. Your acupuncture session will be gentle, calming, and personalized. Many of our patients find the treatments so relaxing they fall asleep on the table.
Depending on your condition, we may also incorporate other therapies like cupping, Chinese herbs, heat therapy, or micro-current stimulation to enhance your healing.
Holistic Relief for a Wide Range of Pain Conditions
Pain can show up in the body in many forms — and we treat them all. From autoimmune conditions, stubborn inflammation to nerve dysfunction and digestion, we use acupuncture and related therapies to reduce pain, increase mobility, and promote natural healing.
Here are some of the most common pain conditions we treat at our clinic:
Back Pain and Sciatica
Whether you’re experiencing dull, chronic pain from sitting too much or sudden sharp pain from a pulled muscle, acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and calm overactive nerves. Sciatic pain that travels down the leg is often relieved by targeting specific pressure points that release tension in the lower back and hips.
Arthritis – Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Acupuncture improves joint mobility and reduces inflammation caused by both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We’ve worked with many patients who’ve found meaningful relief from stiffness and swelling, especially during the colder months here in Kansas when symptoms often flare up.
Sports and Activity-Related Injuries
Sprains, strains, tendinitis, tennis elbow, and golfer’s elbow are common injuries we treat for active patients in Lawrence. Whether you’re biking the trails at Clinton Lake or playing weekend pickleball at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, our injury recovery acupuncture in Lawrence, KS helps speed up recovery and supports tissue repair so you can get back to doing what you love.
Nerve Impingements and Dysfunction
Pain stemming from nerve issues — like carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel, or post-viral numbness — can be particularly difficult to manage with conventional medicine. Acupuncture helps restore nerve function, reduce tingling or burning sensations, and calm hypersensitive areas, giving your nervous system space to heal.
Autoimmune-Related Pain
Autoimmune conditions often cause chronic pain, swelling, and discomfort as the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. By promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system, acupuncture can help alleviate ongoing discomfort and improve mobility — without the side effects of long-term medication use.
Foot Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Walking around Downtown Lawrence or spending all day on your feet shouldn’t have to be painful. We help relieve foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis, tendon strain, or inflammation so you can move with ease.
