Have you ever wondered why you can go for a massage, physical therapy, or a chiropractic treatment, get some pain relief—and then the pain comes right back within hours or days?

It’s incredibly frustrating when you want to get better, you’re 100% willing to invest the time and effort it takes to heal, and yet—at the end of a treatment series—you’re still in pain.

Here’s what I see every day in my clinic.

What if those treatments were done well…but the pain you’re still experiencing is inevitable because of the condition of your acupuncture pathways?

I’m Dr. Kimberly Thompson, and for more than 20 years I’ve specialized in helping people with chronic, difficult-to-treat pain finally get lasting relief. Every patient is different, yet most share a very similar story:

• “I’ve been to multiple doctors.”

• “I’ve tried physical therapy, chiropractic, and massage.”

• “I can get a little relief, but the pain always comes back.”

• “I’ve tried everything else—except acupuncture.”

• “I’m really hoping you can help.”

So the question becomes:

What makes acupuncture at Meridian Family Acupuncture —a clinic specializing in chronic, difficult-to-treat pain—different?

I’m glad you asked.

How We Identify the Missing Piece

In our clinic, we use AcuGraph—a clinically used acupuncture diagnostic system that measures electrical skin resistance along your acupuncture pathways. This allows us to objectively see where your body is out of balance.

The bioelectricity of each acupuncture pathway works synergistically throughout the body—connecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, internal organs, and even emotions. These measurements give us valuable insight and help us see where and why your body is stuck.

Why Other Therapies Haven’t Worked

Often, it’s not that those treatments were “bad.”

It’s that they were missing a critical piece.

When acupuncture pathways are out of balance, the body struggles to heal—even with great physical therapy, chiropractic care, or massage. Those providers may be highly skilled, but without addressing the acupuncture pathways, healing can stall.

That’s the missing piece.

At Meridian Family Acupuncture, we treat both the acupuncture pathways and your pain—which is why we see such strong results with chronic, difficult-to-treat conditions.

Life Really Does Get BETTER With Acupuncture

When patients go through a series of acupuncture treatments, the body begins a true transformation—not just symptom relief.

Patients often notice:

• More energy

• Better sleep

• Improved digestion

• Clearer thinking

• Calmer emotions

• Increased libido

And surprisingly, their other therapies often start working better too.

One patient, Nikki, had been seeing her chiropractor weekly for years. Once she began acupuncture, her chiropractic treatments finally started holding.

Recently, she told us her chiropractor asked for our business cards—because he could see the changes.

“I’ve been to my chiropractor three times now and haven’t needed an adjustment.

Finally, my treatment is holding!”—Nikki D

When Your Body Is in Balance, Everything Works Better

Acupuncture pathways are powerful. When your body is in balance—everything else works better.

If you’ve tried “everything” and your pain still hasn’t resolved, it may be time to address the missing piece.

Your Personalized AcuGraph Exam

At Meridian Family Acupuncture, every consultation begins with a digital AcuGraph exam—a painless, science-based assessment that measures electrical flow through all twelve acupuncture pathways.

In just a few minutes, we get a clear visual map of your body’s communication system.

This allows us to see:

• Which pathways are balanced

• Which are weak or blocked

• How those imbalances directly relate to your pain and symptoms

From there, we design a treatment plan that is 100% personalized to you—addressing both the acupuncture pathways and the pain patterns that haven’t resolved with other therapies.

This isn’t guesswork.

It's data-driven acupuncture.

Real data. Real clarity. Real results.
