Acupuncture for Shoulder & Knee Pain in Hicksville, NY

Shoulder and knee pain can make everyday activities difficult — lifting, walking, driving, and even sleeping. At NY PAPA Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in Hicksville, NY, our goal is to restore pain-free movement by targeting the root causes of your discomfort: inflammation, soft tissue imbalance, joint dysfunction, tendon irritation, or nerve involvement.

For shoulder problems such as rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, impingement, bursitis, or strain, acupuncture reduces inflammation and improves muscular coordination to help restore full range of motion.

For knee issues like arthritis, patellar tracking problems, ligament strain, meniscus irritation, or chronic swelling, acupuncture increases local circulation, reduces stiffness, and enhances joint mobility.

We integrate acupuncture with herbal medicine and PEMF therapy, which helps heal soft tissue microtrauma, reduce swelling, and improve functional stability.
