Acupuncture for Chronic Pain Relief
Living with chronic pain affects every part of your life - from how you move and sleep to how you show up for your family, friends, and yourself. At Seed Acupuncture in Encinitas, our approach to pain relief is gentle, effective, and designed to treat the root cause.
Through acupuncture, cupping therapy, and individualized care plans, we help patients manage a wide range of chronic pain conditions, including back pain, neck and shoulder tension, migraines, sciatica, joint pain, and more.
How Acupuncture Helps with Chronic Pain
Acupuncture is one of the most well-studied modalities for treating chronic pain. It works by stimulating specific points on the body that activate the nervous system, increase blood flow, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins and serotonin. At the same time, acupuncture reduces inflammation and promotes the body’s own healing processes, making it a powerful, drug-free option for long-term pain management.
Clinical research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating:
✧ Chronic lower back pain
✧ Neck and shoulder tension
✧ Headaches and migraines
✧ Joint pain and arthritis
✧ Nerve pain and sciatica
✧ Muscle tightness and myofascial pain
✧ Pain after injury or surgery
Whether your pain is localized or widespread, new or longstanding, acupuncture offers a safe and restorative way to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Cupping Therapy for Muscle Tension and Pain Relief
In many cases, cupping therapy is incorporated into acupuncture sessions to enhance pain relief. Cupping uses gentle suction to increase circulation, reduce muscular tension, and release tight fascia. It is particularly helpful for upper back, shoulder, and neck pain. Many patients find cupping deeply relaxing and notice an immediate sense of openness and relief after treatment.
Cupping is especially effective for:
✧ Upper and lower back pain
✧ Neck and shoulder tension
✧ Stiffness and limited range of motion
✧ Postural pain and tech neck
✧ Muscle recovery after overuse or injury
