Acupuncture for Postoperative Pain in Reston, VA

After surgery, pain and stiffness can slow recovery even when the operation itself went well. Acupuncture is often used alongside standard post-surgical care to support comfort, mobility, and healing.

How Acupuncture May Help

• Support pain relief during post-surgical recovery.
• Help with stiffness and limited movement as you heal.
• Support sleep, which often suffers after surgery.
• Complement your surgeon's recovery plan — we work alongside your medical team, not instead of it.

Always follow your surgeon's instructions about activity and wound care. Let us know about your surgery and any medications you take at your first visit.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your first visit starts with a detailed consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and goals.

Based on that conversation, your practitioner puts together a treatment plan and explains what to expect.

Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and flexible. Most patients feel little to no discomfort when they are inserted.
