Effective Acupuncture for Pain Management in Silver Lake
Are you living with persistent pain that interferes with your daily life? Whether it’s a nagging sports injury from running the Silver Lake Reservoir or chronic tension from long hours at a desk, you don’t have to simply "live with it."
At Jeiran Lashai Acupuncture, we provide targeted, drug-free pain management solutions for the Silver Lake community. Our treatments focus on reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and triggering the body’s natural healing response.
Pain Conditions We Treat
Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the NIH as an effective treatment for a wide range of painful conditions. We commonly help our Silver Lake neighbors with:
Back & Neck Pain: Relief for sciatica, herniated discs, and tech-neck.
Joint Pain: Managing symptoms of arthritis, knee pain, and shoulder impingement.
Headaches & Migraines: Reducing the frequency and intensity of tension headaches and chronic migraines.
Sports Injuries: Accelerating recovery for local runners, hikers, and athletes.
Repetitive Stress: Treating carpal tunnel and tendonitis common in creative and tech professionals.
How Acupuncture Stops the Pain Cycle
In our clinic, we combine traditional meridian therapy with a modern understanding of anatomy. Acupuncture helps alleviate pain through several biological mechanisms:
Endorphin Release: Stimulates the production of enkephalins and endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers.
Increased Circulation: Brings fresh, oxygenated blood to injured tissues to speed up repair.
Nervous System Regulation: Calms the "fight or flight" response, which often amplifies the perception of chronic pain.
Trigger Point Release: Releases "knots" in the muscle tissue that cause referred pain and stiffness.

"Acupuncture doesn't just mask the pain; it encourages the body to heal the source of the discomfort."
Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture for Pain
-
Most patients are surprised by how relaxing the treatment is. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin—nothing like the needles used for injections or blood draws. You may feel a slight dull ache or a "heavy" sensation (known as De Qi), which is a sign that your body is responding to the treatment, but most people find the experience incredibly soothing.
-
While some patients feel immediate relief after their first visit to our Silver Lake clinic, most chronic conditions require a series of treatments. Typically, we recommend 4 to 6 sessions to see significant, lasting changes. Acute injuries may resolve faster, while long-standing chronic pain may require ongoing maintenance.t goes here

Not at all. Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that works safely alongside conventional medical treatments. Many of our patients find that as their condition improves through acupuncture, they are able to work with their primary doctor to gradually reduce their reliance on over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers.
