Pain, Injury & Nerve Care
Palomino is where the Highland Lakes come for lasting relief from musculoskeletal and nerve pain — acupuncture, therapeutic massage, cupping, and herbal medicine, all from one licensed practitioner who reads the whole body.
Most pain has more than one cause — a tight muscle, an irritated nerve, a compensating joint, a nervous system stuck on high alert. That is why Julie treats it with more than one tool. As a Licensed Acupuncturist, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Licensed Herbalist with more than 20 years of experience, she blends acupuncture, hands-on clinical massage, cupping, gua sha, and — where it fits — Chinese herbal medicine into one coordinated plan rather than a single fixed technique.
The research is honest and encouraging: large reviews suggest acupuncture may meaningfully reduce chronic back, neck, and joint pain for many people, and skilled bodywork may ease muscular tension and support recovery. None of it is a cure, and none of it replaces the care of your physician — it is supportive, complementary care that works best alongside medical treatment and movement.
Below are the conditions people most often see Julie for. Each links to a plain-language, evidence-honest guide to what may help, what to expect, and when to seek medical care first.
One practitioner, every tool the problem needs
Acupuncture & dry needling
Hair-fine needles at channel points and myofascial trigger points to calm nerve signaling and release taut muscle bands.
Clinical & deep-tissue massage
Targeted, breath-paced bodywork on the muscles and fascia actually driving your pain — not just where it hurts.
Cupping & gua sha
Decompressive suction and scraping to lift restricted fascia and draw fresh circulation into stiff, achy tissue.
Herbal & holistic support
Where appropriate, Chinese herbal medicine and at-home guidance to support recovery between visits — never in place of your prescriptions.
