Our Approach
At New Dawn Acupuncture, healing doesn’t start with a needle — it starts with listening.
We treat people, not just symptoms. That means understanding your story, designing a treatment plan around your unique needs, and respecting your time, energy, and resources every step of the way.
At New Dawn, we have consciously curated our patient experience by providing a high-touch, caring environment that promotes healing and optimizes treatment results.
We listen. We spend time with our patients. We get to know them. We learn what they need and want.
We believe in quality interaction with our patients, from the first phone call to the last treatment. We love the phone, we want to talk to everyone who calls, and all missed calls are returned.
We provide treatment plans that set realistic expectations. When maximum results are achieved, the next steps will be discussed. If maintenance is required we will recommend it. Every patient is different, and every health issue is different, and our plans reflect this fact.
“Each patient has their own version of what better health looks like. My job is to help them get there — clearly, effectively, and with care.”

More Than Just Traditional Acupuncture
Acupuncture is powerful on its own, but when combined with advanced tools and modern techniques, it becomes something even more effective.
At New Dawn Acupuncture, we blend time-tested Chinese medicine with proven innovations in soft tissue therapy, photobiomodulation (laser), and electrostimulation to create a more complete path to healing.
This means we don’t just treat the surface – we go deeper to address what’s really causing the problem.
Tools That Help You Heal Faster
- Electrostimulation (E-Stim): Sends a gentle current through the needles to stimulate nerves, relax tight muscles, and reduce inflammation — especially effective for stubborn pain or neurological symptoms.
- ATP & Microcurrent Therapy: Supports cellular repair and regeneration by encouraging your body to produce more energy (ATP), which is crucial for healing soft tissue damage.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Also known as photobiomodulation, this FDA-cleared light therapy promotes circulation, reduces pain and swelling, and helps rebuild healthy tissue — safely and painlessly.
- Gua Sha, Cupping & Soft Tissue Techniques: Used strategically to release tension, improve mobility, and resolve deep scar tissue that may be contributing to chronic pain or repetitive strain.
- Lifestyle Medicine: When appropriate, we’ll also discuss nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management strategies rooted in Chinese medicine and modern clinical research — simple, realistic shifts that support your body’s healing between sessions.
Why This Matters:
Too often, chronic pain, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances don’t fully respond to standard acupuncture – or bounce back after temporary relief. Our integrative approach is designed to go beyond symptom management to support long-term healing at the structural and cellular level.
We don’t believe in doing more for the sake of it.
Every tool we use has a purpose – to help you get better, faster, and stay better, longer.
Relief for Chronic & Sports-Related Pain
Chronic pain doesn’t just wear down your body – it wears down your life. FAST™ is a clinically proven, unique protocol that addresses the soft tissue scarring and dysfunction at the source of chronic, recurring pain.
Most patients see measurable, sustained results within 5–10 sessions – even after months or years of trying other treatments with little relief.
The FAST™ method combines to go deeper than TCM alone:
Cross-fiber therapy to break up scar tissue
Laser acupuncture & low-level light therapy to accelerate healing
Targeted acupuncture to reduce inflammation and restore function
