Download The Thrive Acupuncture & Wellness Clarity Guide, a free 8-page guide created to help adults think through recurring pain, tension, migraines, and old injuries before deciding what to try next.
Inside, you’ll get a simple self-check to help you understand whether your pain is something to keep monitoring, something to discuss professionally, or something worth bringing to Thrive for a more personalized conversation.
Why recurring pain can be different from a random ache, especially when the same pattern keeps returning after temporary relief
When back pain, neck tension, shoulder pain, hip pain, migraines, or old injuries may be worth a professional conversation
The simple checklist Dr. Janna uses to help people think through whether they are still in “monitor it” territory, or whether it may be time to ask for help
Why pain that affects sleep, work, exercise, parenting, mood, or daily routines may deserve a closer look
What to consider if you have already tried rest, stretching, massage, PT, chiropractic care, medication, injections, or “just pushing through”
How a whole-person acupuncture consultation looks beyond the painful area alone
What a first conversation at Thrive can help clarify, including your history, goals, previous care, stress, sleep, movement, and what would make care feel worthwhile
Common questions people have before exploring acupuncture, including whether it hurts, how many visits may be needed, and whether acupuncture can work alongside other care
The guide includes a practical 12-question self-check to help you reflect on questions like:
Your answers can help you decide whether to keep monitoring the issue, gather more information, or request a consultation with an experienced licensed acupuncturist.
“I am happy to recommend Janna to anyone who is considering acupuncture treatments. For years I suffered chronic pain in my left shoulder from a rotator cuff injury. Months of physical therapy on three separate occasions relieved it somewhat, but the pain always came back. After about six months of treatment, I can practice yoga without pain. Acupuncture has made an enormous difference in my well-being, and I have Janna to thank for that.”
P.S.“I am an avid kickboxer and muy thai student, having trained at high intensities for over 10 years. Over the past few years my body has begun to feel the toll with pain in my shoulders, knees and lower back. Janna understood my desire to keep working out while hopefully getting some relief. My shoulder and back pain are remarkably improved and I now even go sometimes for mere stress relief.
Having seen tons of healthcare professionals in NYC I have to say Janna stands out as one of the more caring, understanding and professional.”
D.G.“Janna is a terrific acupuncturist. She is kind, compassionate and thorough. The treatment space is warm and inviting. I was new to acupuncture and referred to Janna for ongoing, painful hip problems. I’ve been seeing Janna for about 6 months and have not once been disappointed by a session. Her experience and ability to intuit the source of pain is amazing; she helps my hip but also eases the pain of emotional issues, back pain and whatever stress is plaguing me.
Janna is totally present and focused on helping you in every session. I highly recommend her!”
M.W.“Janna is a wonderfully helpful healer and even convinced me, an acupuncture skeptic, that she could help me feel relief from my migraines. After only a few sessions I have started to feel better and my migraines are gone! I no longer feel like nothing will work for me and will definitely refer anyone to her! Her office is so relaxing. Give her a try, you’ll be glad you did!”
H.A.“Janna is incredibly knowledgeable about her field and you can see her passion for it as soon as you meet her. I went to her after suffering from chronic lower back pain and she has helped me so much, I am virtually pain-free. She takes great care in asking about your needs and goals, and she explains the process in depth. She is very warm and friendly as well. I am so relaxed during my sessions with her that I usually fall asleep. I highly recommend Janna and Thrive Acupuncture!”
C.M.“I initially went to Janna for an old injury in my right shoulder that I couldn't seem to heal on my own. I am very physically active and need my body to always perform at its best ability.
After my sessions with Janna I had full range of motion back in my shoulder! As I continued to see her, everything in my body and mind began to improve including better sleep, easier digestion, more regulated body temperature, clearer mental state and more stable moods! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with her. Your body and mind will thank you!”

Some have tried other approaches. Some are new to acupuncture. Some are skeptical. Some just want to keep moving, exercising, sleeping, working, and living with more confidence.
