Gentle Pain Relief for Seniors

Compassionate Care for Aging Bodies

As we age, pain can begin to affect everyday life. Walking, standing, climbing stairs, or even getting comfortable at rest may become more difficult.

Our senior pain program is designed to support older adults with gentle care that focuses on:

• Reducing occasional or chronic pain

• Supporting circulation

• Improving comfort and mobility

• Calming the nervous system

• Helping caregivers support healing at home

This program is ideal for seniors who need a slower, gentler approach to pain relief.

​

Who This Program Is For

This program may be helpful for seniors experiencing:

• Knee pain

• Arthritis discomfort

• Joint stiffness

• Muscle tension

• Occasional sharp pain

• Reduced mobility

• Cold or achy joints

• Pain that affects walking or daily activities

​

Note: Acupuncture is not a replacement for medical care. Seniors with sudden severe pain, swelling, redness, falls, chest pain, shortness of breath, or major changes in mobility should contact their medical provider promptly.

​

Our Three Treasures Approach

At Kicotan Acupuncture, we use the Three Treasures Method to support the whole person:

​

Jing — Supporting the Foundation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jing relates to aging, bones, joints, and deep vitality.

Qi — Supporting Movement

Qi helps the body circulate energy, reduce stagnation, and support natural healing.

Shen — Supporting Calm

Pain can affect mood, sleep, and peace of mind. Gentle care helps the body feel safe and supported.
