Chronic Pain

Book Appointment

At Kingsport Acupuncture, we specialize in the treatment of chronic pain, offering a holistic approach to help our patients manage and reduce pain naturally. Whether you’re dealing with low back pain, migraines, or pain from long-term conditions such as arthritis or degenerative disc disease, Dr. Brian Duncan provides personalized care tailored to your specific needs. With years of experience using acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat chronic pain, we’re here to help you find lasting relief without the side effects of medications.

How Acupuncture Treats Chronic Pain

Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive method of pain management that has been used for thousands of years. By inserting fine needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms, releases natural pain-relieving chemicals, and improves circulation. This results in reduced inflammation, less muscle tension, and ultimately, less pain.

At Kingsport Acupuncture, we treat a wide range of chronic pain conditions, including:

  • Low Back Pain: One of the most common chronic pain issues, low back pain can be caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or underlying conditions such as degenerative disc disease. Acupuncture helps relieve back pain by promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing tight muscles.

  • Knee Pain: Whether due to arthritis, overuse, or injury, chronic knee pain can severely limit mobility. Acupuncture can reduce swelling, improve joint function, and relieve pain, allowing you to move more freely.

  • Tendinitis: Tendon inflammation, often caused by repetitive stress, can lead to chronic pain in areas like the elbow, shoulder, or wrist. Acupuncture targets the inflamed areas to reduce pain and speed up healing.

  • Migraines: Chronic headaches and migraines can be debilitating, but acupuncture offers a natural solution to reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes. By targeting acupuncture points that relieve tension and regulate blood flow, acupuncture can reduce migraine symptoms without the need for medications.

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Pain, numbness, and tingling caused by carpal tunnel syndrome can make daily tasks difficult. Acupuncture helps relieve the pressure on the median nerve, improving circulation and reducing inflammation in the wrist.

Pain Management for Long-Term Conditions

In addition to treating specific pain points, we also work with patients who need pain management for chronic conditions that affect their quality of life over time, including:

  • Degenerative Disc Disease: This condition, which results in the breakdown of spinal discs, can lead to chronic back and neck pain. Acupuncture reduces inflammation and stimulates blood flow to the affected areas, providing relief and improving function.

  • Arthritis: Whether you’re dealing with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, acupuncture can help reduce joint pain and stiffness. By addressing the root causes of pain and inflammation, acupuncture helps improve mobility and quality of life for those living with arthritis.

A Holistic Approach to Pain Relief

At Kingsport Acupuncture, we believe that chronic pain needs to be treated at its root cause, not just masked with medication. Our approach combines acupuncture with herbal medicine to support the body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.

For each patient, Dr. Brian Duncan creates a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your specific symptoms, medical history, and overall health. Treatments may include weekly acupuncture sessions and a customized herbal formula to support your recovery and reduce pain.

From PCOS/Fertility woes to happy, healthy baby! Dr. Brian helped regulate my hormones which ultimately led to a beautiful baby in my arms. From nausea to labor prep/pain management, Dr. Brian supported me throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum journey. My husband and daughter now see Dr. Brian. If you are looking for a balanced acupuncture practice in the Tri-Cities area, look no further.

Monica V.

I had pretty much tried everything to help with my digestive issues and nothing seemed to work. So I gave acupuncture a try. Brian is great and after some treatments along with some herbal medicine things are more normal than they have been in years. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a try for whatever problems you might be having. Brian is very well educated in his practice and answers any questions you may have.

I was having shoulder bad shoulder pain and was referred by a friend. Brian is the nicest guy and found the root of my problems he gave me excersises to do and my problem which a month of chiropractor visits couldn't fix was cured in a week!

The acupuncture and the stretches Brian had me do eliminate all the pain from my lower back from a car accident I had, highly recommended

Pip M

Dr Duncan helped my daughter greatly improve, if not completely cure, her severe, chronic eczema. We have gone to pediatricians and allergists which hasn't helped. Seeing dr Duncan has changed her life.

Kathleen C

Really helped with my knee pain. I've been getting acupuncture for years and was new to the area. Decided to give this place a try and so glad I did. They definitely know what they're doing. Highly recommend.

Dr. Brian was Incredibly patient and thorough. incredibly patient and thorough. It is wonderfully refreshing to sit with a Doctor whom sees their patient as a whole and treats the root causes rather than the symptoms. He is extremely knowledgeable and has thousands of hours of skill, training and practice. I have Referred tons of friends and family.

Megan B

Dr. Brian is passionate about addressing the root of an issue instead of treating the symptoms only. I started seeing Dr. Brian for a concern when I was unable to get an appointment with my “regular” doctor. It was easy to get an appointment and he listened to what was going on and was able to greatly improve my areas of concern. I would highly recommend Dr. Brian to anyone looking for an alternative.

Ginny H.

Dr. Brian Duncan is a seasoned professional. He is knowledgeable and insightful into finding the root cause to your pain. I had intense neck and shoulder pain that lasted for months. After a few sessions with Dr. Duncan I was finally able to breathe again, and take less pain medication. Two months later I was pain free. I highly recommend Kingsport Acupuncture for pain relief and maintenance for a healthy body.
