Reset Your Nervous System
Real people. Real pain relief. At Michigan Spine & Pain, we find the source of your pain, helping you heal with the full spectrum of modern pain treatments, and get you back to the life you’ve worked hard to maintain.
Some pain isn’t tied to a specific injury you can point to. We use acupuncture to help settle overactive pain signaling, giving your body space to respond better to treatment, activity, and rest as part of your comprehensive care plan.

3 Steps to Provide Relief
1
Confirming What’s Driving Your Pain
A physician-led consultation connects symptoms, exam findings, and care goals. That understanding determines when acupuncture fits the plan and when another next step makes more sense.
2
Delivering a Calm, Targeted Treatment
A clinician places ultra-thin needles at specific points chosen to treat your specific concerns. Most people notice only a brief pinch or dull ache that fades within moments.
3
Tailoring Care to Your Needs
Your provider adjusts your plan based on how your body responds. As your symptoms change, they may refine your visits, techniques, or next steps to keep your care aligned with what you need.
Why We Recommend Acupuncture
Medication-Sparing Support
Acupuncture gives your care team another way to reduce pain sensitivity without adding new prescriptions or sedation.
Reduced Nervous System Reactivity
Targeted needle placement can calm overactive pain signaling. Many patients feel less “wired,” jumpy, or on edge during daily activity afterward.
Better Follow-Through With Rehab
When pain intensity drops, movement work feels more manageable. That progress makes physical therapy and at-home exercises easier to continue.
Frequently Asked Questions
