Acupuncture for Pain Support

Pain or muscular tension is one of the most common reasons people seek acupuncture.

Ongoing pain or muscular tension can affect comfort, mobility and daily activities.

At Acupuncture Sanctuary, treatments are tailored to your individual needs and may take into account factors such as lifestyle, stress, sleep and general health when planning your care.

Many people value having space to feel supported both physically and emotionally during treatment.
