Pain, whether acute or chronic, is one of the leading reasons people seek medical care worldwide. Migraines, joint pain, neuralgia, deep muscle tension… when conventional treatments are no longer effective or cause unwanted side effects, many patients turn to natural, proven alternatives. At Dr. Dong Clinic in Meyrin, near Geneva, we offer Acupuncture for Pain as an effective complementary approach, validated by scientific research and recognized by the World Health Organization for the management of numerous pain syndromes.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain always results from a blockage: Qi (vital energy) and blood no longer flow freely through the meridians, causing local stagnation that manifests as pain. The fundamental principle is simple: «Where there is a blockage, there is pain; where circulation is free, there is no pain.». Acupuncture for Pain is specifically designed to remove these blockages by stimulating strategic points that restore energy and blood flow in the affected areas.
From the perspective of Western medicine, acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural painkillers. It also activates the descending pain-inhibiting pathways in the central nervous system, reduces local inflammation, and relaxes tense muscles. These mechanisms, which have been extensively documented by neurophysiology, explain why Acupuncture for Pain often provides noticeable relief starting with the very first sessions.
Muscle pain affects a very large number of people, whether it is caused by stress, poor posture, intense physical activity, or chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia. Acupuncture for Muscle Pain Targets motor points and trigger points located in tight muscles to release tense muscle fibers, improve local microcirculation, and accelerate tissue recovery.
At Dr. Dong Clinic, our practitioners often combine Acupuncture for Muscle Pain along with other TCM techniques to maximize results. The Chinese suction cups decongest the tissues by drawing fresh blood to the treated area. The Tui Na massage works deeply on the muscle chains and fascia to prolong the relaxing effect. And the moxibustion provides therapeutic heat that is particularly beneficial when pain is exacerbated by cold or humidity. This combined approach offers a much more comprehensive solution than a single technique.
Acupuncture for Pain The treatment offered at Dr. Dong’s Clinic covers a wide range of pain conditions. Our patients frequently seek our care for lower back and neck pain, sciatica, and neuralgia, migraines and tension headaches, joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip), tendinitis and sports-related pain, fibromyalgia and diffuse pain, post-surgical pain, as well as neuropathic pain. For each case, our doctors conduct a comprehensive energy assessment based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), taking into account your Western medical test results. This dual approach allows us to develop a treatment protocol for’acupuncture for pain truly personalized, addressing not only the symptom but also the root cause of the imbalance.
Dr. Dong has worked miracles for me. First, he helped me resolve my fertility issues (I now have two wonderful children), and then, a few years later, he provided lasting relief from my migraines. Professional yet relaxed and excellent with his patients, he is always ready with a comforting smile and extremely wise and sound medical advice.
Dr. Dong is a true energizer, bringing vitality to the mind and body. Thank you so much. Dr. Dong's acupuncture is pure energizing magic, as are his vitamin and energy patches. I feel 20 years younger. Dr. Dong has always helped me regain my health. His team is wonderful at their work. A big thank you to Dr. Dong.
For years, I had been living with constant back pain. I was skeptical, but from the very first session, I felt that something was changing. The team at the clinic welcomed me with such kindness and professionalism. Thanks to them, I'm living again without medication, with my mobility restored.
The chemotherapy was very difficult, both physically and emotionally. The therapists at Dr. Dong's clinic were incredibly attentive and intuitive, helping me manage my nausea and fatigue with great compassion. I truly felt understood and cared for. I highly recommend this clinic.
I came to Dr. Dong's clinic because I couldn't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. I was always exhausted. Acupuncture didn't fix everything right away, but over time, my body began to relax and I was able to sleep again. Now, two years later, I still go every week. It's become part of my routine; I don't go because I feel unwell, but to stay healthy.
I have always had digestive problems, bloating, pain... It really ruined my life. My doctor advised me to visit Dr. Dong's clinic. After a few sessions with Dr. Fan, my symptoms decreased and my digestion became much more regular. Today, not only do I feel much lighter, but I have also regained confidence in myself and my body.
We arrived at Dr. Dong's clinic feeling discouraged after two unsuccessful IVF attempts. The calm and attentive way in which Dr. Dong listened to our story was in itself a source of comfort. Thanks to regular acupuncture sessions, my cycle became more regular and, three months later, we conceived naturally. The whole team was like a second family.

At Dr. Dong Clinic, we don’t just provide temporary pain relief. We work with you to develop a step-by-step treatment plan tailored to the nature and duration of your pain. Acute cases often respond within two to four sessions. Chronic pain that has persisted for several months requires longer-term treatment, typically one to two sessions per week for several weeks, with the frequency gradually reduced as improvement becomes more consistent. The’auriculotherapy can complement the sessions by prolonging the pain-relieving effect between appointments using small stimulation seeds placed on specific points on the ear. For patients seeking a comprehensive evaluation, our health screening program helps identify aggravating factors and develop a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Our doctors, who were trained in China and Europe, treat patients suffering from acute and chronic pain on a daily basis.
