Acupuncture for Pain Relief – Fast, Natural, Whole-Body Healing
Gentle, effective pain management in Kelowna & Vernon
Struggling with Chronic Pain or Acute Injuries?
Pain doesn’t just affect the body — it affects how we move, sleep, and show up in daily life. At Balance Acupuncture, I offer a gentle yet highly effective approach to pain relief using Balance Method Acupuncture — a system that restores your body’s natural energy flow to reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term healing.
How Well Does Balance Acupuncture Work for Pain?
In classical Chinese medicine, there’s a saying:
“When you stand a pole under the sun, you immediately see its shadow.”
This reflects the immediate effects of acupuncture when the right points are stimulated.
- Acute pain often improves within 1–4 sessions
- Chronic pain shows steady progress with consistent care
- Many patients experience 30–50% pain relief after just a few needles
- Results are long-lasting when we address the root
Why Balance Method Acupuncture?
In Chinese medicine, pain is a sign of blocked energy (Qi). Balance Method Acupuncture works by restoring smooth energy flow along your body’s meridians — internal channels that nourish every part of your body. When energy flows freely, pain naturally begins to fade.
How It Works
- Pain = Blocked Qi(Energy) – Pain occurs when energy gets stuck in one area.
- Balance = Flow – By using distant points (often on the opposite side of the body), we guide Qi(Energy) to where it’s needed.
- Result = Relief – With energy flowing again, the body can relax, repair, and restore itself.
A Simple Example: Ankle Injury
Let’s say you have pain on the outside of your ankle, along the Gallbladder Meridian. That blockage doesn’t just affect the ankle and cuts off energy to connected meridians like the Heart, Liver, and Triple Burner.
Instead of needling directly into the painful area, I may needle:
- The opposite wrist or inner ankle
- A location along the same meridian but far from the site of pain
This helps redirect energy, reduce inflammation, and support the whole system, not just the injury.

I’d be honored to help you move more freely, sleep deeply, and feel like yourself again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sciatic Pain Gone in Two Sessions
“I developed severe sciatic pain while golfing, and it got worse over the week until I was at a 10/10 pain level. After just one acupuncture session with Julia, my pain was 90% gone! I still had some stiffness, but after my second treatment, I was completely pain-free. Highly recommend!’

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Numbness & Burning Pain in Hand Gone After One Session
“I had numbness in my right hand since 2018, but in the past month, I started experiencing burning pain in my fingertips that kept me up at night, waking me up 10-15 times. My hand also felt uncomfortably hot to the touch. After one acupuncture treatment with Julia, both the numbness and pain were completely gone, and my hand temperature returned to normal. I was amazed at how effective acupuncture was! I highly recommend Julia for anyone struggling with nerve-related pain or numbness.”
