New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

I went to New Hope Acupuncture & Wellness Center because I’ve been dealing with persistent sciatic nerve pain after two lower back surgeries, and I was searching for a natural, effective way to reduce pain and improve my quality of life. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my recovery.

Both Dr. Shu and Dr. Lu are outstanding. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. From the very first visit, they took time to listen to my symptoms, understand my history, and explain the treatment approach clearly. You can tell they don’t rush patients — they truly want to help and they tailor the treatment based on what your body needs.

After treatment, I experienced a real improvement. My pain level went from about a 7 down to a 4, which is a major change when you’re dealing with sciatica and nerve pain. The...

Great treatment for acupuncture and Chinese medicine!

Experienced lower back pain for over half a year had tried orthopedic massages for many times and didn't help, and pain was progressing. The first treatment already had improvements. I have been there 5 times and the pain gradually goes away, need to be patience for the process. Forever grateful for doctors skills and expertise in this field.

My healing began at New Hope with my first treatment and continues to improve today. You immediately feel confident that Junting is an experienced practitioner. She does a very thorough initial consultation and seeks follow-up with each appointment to see that your overall health is improving. Suffering from lymphedema, neuropathy, fatigue and brain fog—I’m happy to report that all of these conditions have improved and I’m feeling grateful that my quality of life is finally on the upswing. The treatment rooms are clean, comfortable and inviting. The practice is meticulously organized—scheduling my appointments was convenient and accommodating to my schedule. A friend recommended New Hope to me and now I’m happy I can recommend it to others.

Very accommodating, kind and pleasant experience.

I have been suffering from migraines, along with a lot of pain in my lower back and legs. I would have to stop every now and then to stretch it out. But ever since I started going here, it's helped me tremendously. I can now travel around without any issues and don't have to worry about slowing anyone down. The treatment has made a huge difference in my quality of life. Highly recommend!

I visited New Hope on the recommendation of a friend for help managing lower back and hip pain. I was very happy with the service and results. Fangrui is attentive, caring, and insightful. I experienced almost immediate relief from chronic pain. I will absolutely return for the acupuncture services for pain management when needed and overall body health regularly! Highly recommended!

I was referred to New Hope Acupuncture by a friend while seeking help with my back and shoulder pain. The pain had lasted for a month or so which had really impacted my life quality. I went to my PCP, had blood test and X-ray done, which didn't reveal any issues. I took pain reliver medicines but that didn't really help. So, I turned to Chinese acupuncture with Ms. Shu, and my pain was greatly reduced after the first treatment. I had seen other acupunctures before, and I can tell that Ms. Shu is very good at what she does. I would recommend New Hope to anyone who suffers chronic pains.

I have had 9 acupuncture sessions so far for chronic back pain with sciatic nerve symptoms as well as chronic insomnia. I decided to try this instead of a second epidural steroid injection. Overall my symptoms have improved despite having to drive at least an hour each way to work and having to sit for most of the day. Both sitting and driving have historically been the worst activities for me. Insomnia is multifactorial for me and I do take medication, but overall my sleep has been more consistent. I tried acupuncture approximately one year ago, but only noticed very temporary relief. Dr. Shu's treatment has been much more effective! I plan to continue for another month (or as long as my insurance will continue covering the sessions). The office is a bit of a drive for me, but it is worth it to receive quality care.

I came to Dr. Shu for acupuncture during my postpartum recovery when I was struggling with poor sleep, low energy, and overall discomfort. Her treatments are incredibly relaxing — truly comparable to a spa experience — and the effects last well beyond the session. In the following day or two, I always feel noticeably more refreshed, calmer, and mentally clearer.
Over time, my postpartum prolapse symptoms have also improved significantly. Dr. Shu is gentle, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I’m very grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and thoughtful acupuncture care.

Junting is a miracle worker!
I had seen several acupuncturists in the past but Junting's technique is unique and it truly worked wonders for me! During my preparation for pregnancy I met Junting and in less three months, I was pregnant and I continued Accupuncture throughout my pregnancy. I continued to see her in my postpartum journey as well when I had challenges with breastfeeding. Accupuncture sessions with Junting along with herbs honestly helped me heal so well. I strongly recommend Junting to everyone in their fertility journey and after!

(Translated by Google) New Hope Acupuncture is a clinic that treats ailments that, in so many places, simply don't take the patient into account.

Dr. Shue and her team have a welcoming and relaxing space where I've been able to feel much better from an ailment that, while I've had it for many years, had been occurring much more frequently in recent months and weeks. The pain in my lower right side no longer allowed me to move freely and even made it difficult for me to walk. I came to their treatment center, and with their acupuncture needles and the patches they recommended, I feel much more relieved and can return to my job and daily activities.

Because of this significant experience, I recommend New Hope Acupuncture to anyone who doesn't feel understood about their ailments within the formal healthcare system.

I will recommend dr shu to all my family and friends

New Hope Acupuncture has been absolutely incredible. I went in with intense neck pain from a C3 slipped disk that had been bothering me for years. Unable to rotate my neck fully, but after two sessions I walked out feeling lighter, looser and with noticeably more mobility.

The office and the healing rooms are clean, warming and very calming. I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with pain of tension.

I just wanted to take a moment to emphasize how helpful Dr. Shu has been in treating my condition. I’ve been dealing with ongoing shoulder and neck pain for around 3-4 months. I’ve tried everything under the sun to target the pain. OTC painkillers, heating pads, pain relieving creams, prescribed muscle relaxers, and more! I’ve even gone to many different specialists to get different opinions. I’ve gone to chiropractors, neck and shoulder specialists, PCP, and so on. But no one was able to diagnose and implement a treatment as quickly as Dr. Shu.

If you’re like me and feel like you’ve exhausted all options, please give acupuncture/cupping therapy a try!! It’s a shame it’s not more well known given how effective it is. I highly recommend to anyone feeling any tightness or other kinds of muscle pain. The difference one session makes is lik night and day.

I’ve struggled with severe motion sickness and constant daily nausea for as long as I can remember, and I truly felt out of options before discovering New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness. After just about seven treatments, my daily nausea has completely disappeared, and I can finally ride in the car again without feeling sick!

During my intake, I also learned that New Hope could address several other issues I’ve been dealing with—such as jaw-clenching, anxiety, rosacea, and low energy. Being treated for all of these has made such a noticeable difference in my overall well-being.

I highly recommend Dr. Fangrui Shu for anyone seeking compassionate, effective acupuncture care. Thank you, New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness and Dr. Shu!

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident about 9 months ago and I suffered internal injuries from the accident. In the Emergency Room I was diagnosed with a severe sprain to the neck and shoulder. They sent me to physical therapy. I was having nerve pain in my neck and left arm. The physical therapist referred me to an orthopedic doctor, who diagnosed a pinched nerve in my neck. He gave me medication that did not help. By then I was experiencing daily pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the entire left side of my body. My PCP referred me to a Neurosurgeon in Boston, who ordered a brain scan. The neurosurgeon has now referred me to a Neurologist. My symptoms caused tremendous distress for several months. I lost my appetite and lost 40 lbs since the accident. A nurse in the Neurosurgeon’s office recommended New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness. I had never tried acupuncture in my...

Finally I found the real acupuncture office that know how make me feel 15-20 years younger body. In my younger days I was very active with lots of sports, MTB to hiking and you name it I done it all. Definitely over work my body. Now in my late 50's, aches and pains is getting the best of me. Thank God I found Rachel @ New hope. Before I found Rachel I went to 7 different acupuncturist in the last 5 years and was not happy with results. Highly recommend anyone just like I been preferring family, coworkers and friends and they couldn't stop thanking me for recommend them to New Hope. I Just wanted you to know I wrote this review incase someone like myself is looking to ease the pain too.

Dr. Shu at New Hope Acupuncture successfully treated me for a severe case of eczema through acupuncture and herbs. The treatments also helped achieve more consistent sleep through the night and higher energy levels during the day and lessened my stress levels through better balance. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for hundreds of years and represents a non-invasive alternative to drugs or surgery for many chronic, painful conditions. She truly wanted to help me, and did straightaway. Highly recommend.

One of the most wonderful people and the best acupuncturist I have ever met. I recommend her to everyone with all my heart and love. My knee pain is gone, and she is also effective in all other diseases that have arisen in the meantime. Unfortunately, my daughter has Crohn's disease, and her results have also improved. We are grateful and thank you very much Junting (Rachel) Shu!

After having Covid, then a cold brought back from european travelers, ear infection and overall NOT FEELING well in spite of antibiotics ear infection, I found New Hope acupuncture. I have gone to other in area, but Dr Shu is a gifted practitioner.

I felt better after the initial treatment and When I came to the 2nd treatment expressing a constant fluid build up in ears she worked her magic! I no longer am walking around “under water”…for those who suffer sinus and ear issues make an appointment!

My body was healing from so many viruses ( forgot to mention the glorious tick incident that kicked iff antibiotics prior to Covid) and the general lack of energy especially towards end of day was so draining and unusual ( long covid ? Age? Viruses?) who knows but after my 4th visit my energy level is back to normal . I can’t thank them enough for theor compassion,...

I originally came in to treat ankle pain and after the first session was able to increase vigorous activity with little to no pain. I learned however that acupuncture can treat various ailments and began working on treating poor kidney function. She really took her time learning more about my symptoms and how they have been impacting me. After one session my symptoms were significantly milder. Dr. Fangrui Shu is very thorough and works hard to improve her patients quality of life.

I recently started going to New Hope for acupuncture to primarily address issues from my c-section as well as upper body pain from holding my baby daily and nursing. I was amazed at how quickly the treatment worked, especially for the c-section and scar. I could literally feel movement within my stomach and c-section area and had very quick relief after that. There were moments during the treatment that, once needles were placed, the pain or discomfort I had at the start of the treatment session was gone. Having been to another acupuncturist in the area to try to and address these same issues without any relief, I can 100% say this is the place to go for any pain related issues and overall healing. We are still working through some other issues I have but it’s clear that just a few sessions with Fangrui can make a world of difference!

If you’re even thinking about trying acupuncture, honestly, give this place a chance. I’ve had chronic back pain for years and tried everything physical therapy, chiropractors, doctors, you name it. Nothing has helped the way New Hope Acupuncture has.
I came in pretty nervous, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They really listened and took the time to understand what was going on, not just where it hurt. For the first time in years, I can walk without that sharp pain and finally take a deep breath without feeling tightness.
If there’s a part of you that’s curious or hopeful, just go for it. You don’t have anything to lose, and you might finally get the relief you’ve been looking for.

New Hope has been a great experience.
After 4 weeks of acupuncture all of my nausea, chest pain, and heart palpitations are gone. I feel more relaxed with a clear mind.
I also would get really tired every afternoon for few hours. She knew how to treat that and I have a lot more energy now, and I don’t get the afternoon grogginess.
I am trying an herbal tea to help with kidney stones and my digestive. So far I feel so much better!
5 stars all around. Definitely would recommend!

I have been suffering from occipital neuralgia (nerve pain) caused by a neck injury during one of my non-epileptic seizures (a symptom of my Functional Neurological Disorder). Modern medicine had me doing nerve block injections into my scalp every 5 weeks but when that failed to keep the symptoms at bay, my life became bed-ridden with constant pain - some of the worst in my life, which is saying something as someone who has several rare chronic conditions.

I was referred for acupuncture here at New Hope and after a few weeks of treatment my occipital neuralgia has lessened tremendously with most days being zero pain days. This in turn, has helped my Functional Neurological Disorder in that less pain means less fuel for the seizures and therefore many less seizures. My quality of life has improved tremendously due to the treatment at New Hope.

Above all,...

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shu. She is a great listener who genuinely cares about her patients' needs. During my visits, she carefully examined my symptoms and took the time to understand my condition. She then designed a personalized treatment plan that targeted my specific issues. Thanks to her expertise and attentive care, my back pain has significantly improved. I highly recommend Dr. Shu for anyone seeking effective acupuncture treatment.

I have been going here for a few weeks now for a few different things. I can’t thank New Hope enough for there help with my neck /back pain as well as some facial paralysis that continues to improve.

I highly recommend New Hope Acupuncture. I had muscle aches, especially hamstrings. Through a series of treatment I am feeling much less achy and my circulation has improved. My once cold feet are now no longer cold.
