Knee pain has a way of limiting everything.
Standing. Walking. Stairs. Getting in and out of the car. Playing with your kids or grandkids. The
things you used to do without thinking twice.
We treat all kinds of knee issues:
● Arthritis and inflammation
● Meniscus or ligament injuries
● Runner's knee
● IT band syndrome
● Post-surgical pain and stiffness
● General wear and tear
In Chinese Medicine, the knees are governed by the Kidney system, which means weak knees often point to deeper depletion in your body's foundational energy.
Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support the structures around
your knee so you can move with more ease and less pain.
Let's get you back to doing what you love.

This is myofascial decompression in action. Instead of pressing tissue down, the cups lift the fascia and create space. That release helps improve circulation, reduce tension, and calm that tight, achy feeling you get from sitting, running, or overtraining.

A few things this technique can help with:
• Better mobility in the hips and legs
• Faster recovery after workouts
• Less muscle fatigue
• Relief from chronic tightness in the back, neck/shoulders, quads, IT band, and calves.


Most people say it feels like a strong stretch from the inside out. The marks fade in a few days and are simply a sign of increased blood flow.

If your back is tight or overworked, this is one of the quickest ways to reset things.

Acupuncture helps with stress in a number of ways. It primarily affects the parasympathetic nervous system, which is our rest and digest state where our body does, its natural healing processes. The insertion of acupuncture needles and specific points helps to trigger this response, causing stress increasing hormones to decrease and her body to find a state of deep rest and recovery.

Dey needling for neck and shoulder pain. The trapezius is a common source of pain that can radiate from the neck and shoulders and even up into the face and jaw area. Dry needling helps to relieve tight knotty bands in the muscle fibers by stimulating a “twitch” response that causes the muscle to quickly contract and then relax. This is a great medication free alternative to pain management .

About CRA

Common Roots Acupuncture is a nonprofit clinic founded on the principle that acupuncture should be affordable and accessible to the average person. The benefits of acupuncture are numerous and many people have found it to be useful in helping with various ailments, but if it’s not a cost effective means of receiving healthcare then we lose out on it’s true value. Pain is the most common thing people usually seek out acupuncture for whether chronic or acute, but acupuncture also treats many other conditions including; digestive issues, anxiety/depression, stress, menstrual regulation, headaches, allergies, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, sleep support, and ‘’mysterious’’ or undiagnosable conditions quite well.

Common Roots staff are experienced practitioners of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Come see what acupuncture can do for you!
