Tired of back pain running your life? Sitting hurts. Walking hurts. Sleeping? Forget about it. If you’ve tried everything—painkillers, massages, stretching routines—but nothing sticks, it’s time for a different approach. At Newport Wellness Group in Newport Beach, we don’t just manage pain. We target it. Acupuncture is science-backed, safe, and—most importantly—it works.
What’s the Science Behind Acupuncture?
Acupuncture stimulates specific points in the body to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and regulate nerve function. The result? Less pain, more movement, and a better quality of life.
Dr. Shohre Mehvar, OMD, LAc, and Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani, DACM, LAc, QME, FABORM, are trained in evidence-based acupuncture techniques. Their approach isn’t based on vague theories—it’s rooted in science and results.
How Does an Acupuncture Session Work?
Here’s what happens when you walk into our Newport Beach clinic. First, we talk. Where does it hurt? When did it start? What makes it worse? Then, we get to work.
Thin, sterile needles are placed in precise areas to activate your body’s healing process. No random poking. Every needle has a purpose. You’ll feel a mild tingling or warmth—nothing extreme. Most patients relax so much they fall asleep. Sessions last about 30-45 minutes. When you get up? You’ll feel different.
How Fast Will You Feel Relief?
Some patients notice a difference after one session. Others need a few treatments to feel real change. The key? Consistency. Acute pain may need a few sessions. Chronic pain might require a longer plan. We do what works for you.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. 100%. When performed by licensed professionals like Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani, acupuncture is one of the safest pain treatments available. No drugs or side effects.
We use sterile, single-use needles. Every treatment is customized to your condition. The worst side effect? Maybe a little soreness at the needle site. That’s it.
What Kinds of Back Pain Does Acupuncture Treat?
Lower back pain. From strain, herniated discs, or poor posture.
Sciatica. That deep, radiating nerve pain shooting down your leg.
Chronic tension. Too much sitting, too much stress, too much tightness.
Post-injury pain. Whether from sports, work, or daily life.
If your back pain is interfering with your day, acupuncture can help. It doesn’t just mask symptoms—it works at the root of the problem.
How Does Acupuncture Compare to Other Treatments?
Painkillers numb while acupuncture heals. Massage feels great, but relief is temporary. Physical therapy helps, but progress can be slow. Surgery? Expensive, risky, and not always effective. Acupuncture? It’s safe, non-invasive, and proven to work. That’s why so many people are turning to it.
What Should You Expect After a Session?
You should feel relief, movement, and a sense of calm. Some feel immediate improvement. Others notice gradual change over a few days. You might feel a little sore—that’s your body adjusting. Hydrate, take it easy and let acupuncture do its thing.
Who Should Consider Acupuncture for Back Pain?
If you’re tired of short-term fixes, it’s time to try something different. Whether your pain is new or something you’ve been battling for years, acupuncture offers a real solution. At Newport Wellness Group, we make sure each treatment plan is built around you.
Ready to Take the First Step?
Your back pain won’t fix itself. But we can help. Newport Wellness Group in Newport Beach offers real relief for people who are done with quick fixes and want lasting change.
