Specialized in Resolving
Chronic Pain

If you've been managing pain long enough to wonder whether it's ever going away, you're in the right place. Most people who find their way here have already tried some combination of physical therapy, massage, cortisone shots, anti-inflammatories, or rest. Things helped. Some. But the pain is still there, still limiting what you can do, still getting in the way of the life you want to live.

What acupuncture offers is a different angle - one that addresses the tissue, the nervous system, and the internal environment that either supports or impedes healing, all at once. Not a temporary fix. A process that changes the conditions producing the pain.

Tom Eddins has been doing this work for twenty years. He is a nationally board-certified, NC licensed acupuncturist with extensive post-graduate training in orthopedic Tui Na bodywork, electroacupuncture, and classical Chinese medicine. Learn more about his approach to chronic pain.

How Tom Works

The Injury and the Person

Every case gets assessed from two directions. The specific injury.... what tissues are involved, what's inflamed, what range of motion is limited, what the nerve or disc is doing. And the rest of the person.... the internal environment that determines whether the body can actually mount a healing response. Both matter. Treating one without the other is why so many injuries partially resolve and then stall.

Acupuncture, Electroacupuncture, and Tui Na

Tom combines acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and hands-on Tui Na orthopedic bodywork based on what each case requires. The combination reaches tissue, nerve, and bio-electric dimensions of pain that no single approach addresses alone. Treatment also includes cupping, gua sha, and Chinese herbal formulas where appropriate.

Consistency Builds Momentum

Chronic pain doesn't resolve in one visit. Healing builds over a series of treatments, each one creating better conditions for the next. Tom thinks of it like climbing stairs: keep moving forward and you keep moving up. Before you know it, you're on level ground again. The process requires commitment. The results, when patients stay with it, are real.

Conditions Tom Treats

Sciatica and nerve pain · Herniated disc and cervical radiculopathy · Soft tissue injuries that won't heal · Pain in active adults and outdoor athletes · Digestive problems and fatigue · Stress and sleep difficulties
