New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

I came to New Hope after many years of dealing with chronic nausea, stomach pain, and digestive issues that my other doctors diagnosed as IBS. My tests were all normal and medication was not helping, so I decided to try acupuncture and I'm glad I did!

Since starting, I've seen improvement not just in my original symptoms, but in other things I wasn't even expecting, such as menstrual pain, anxiety, migraines, skin sensitivity/rashes, and low energy.

Dr. Shu is a great practitioner. She is attentive, a good listener, and clearly very experienced. If something doesn't work for you, she will adjust her approach to suit your unique condition. She is confident and knowledgeable, which puts me at ease during our sessions.

If you're struggling with unexplained/chronic health issues and haven't found answers through conventional medicine, I'd definitely...

I’ve had an excellent experience with Dr. Shu over the past few years, and I’m truly grateful for the care and support she has provided through different stages of my life.

I first went to see her for shoulder and neck pain. What impressed me most was how thorough and thoughtful she was during the initial evaluation. She didn’t just focus on the pain itself — she took the time to understand my overall health, lifestyle, stress levels, and general wellbeing. Her holistic approach made me feel genuinely cared for as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms.

During the course of treatment, she also helped treat my persistent cough, which I honestly did not expect when I first came in for shoulder pain. Over time, I noticed significant improvement not only in my pain but also in my overall health and energy.

Later, I continued seeing her for some...

I have had two massage sessions with Jean to help with my TMJ, neck, and back pain. So far I have experienced relief from a TMJ migraine and a big emotional release by freeing up tension in my spine. If you are experiencing pain and a normal massage does not help I highly recommend Jean. He is highly educated, has many years experience.

I have limited elbow extension and stiffness after my sporty activity. I experienced the pain and was not able to do my daily routine for three days and didn't see any improvement. I visited the clinic , Dr. Shu was incredibly professional and patient during the examination, and she took the time to check my elbow mobility when I brought it up. The acupuncture treatments made my elbow mobility improved after every treatment.  Only several treatments I have almost recovered my mobility (90%) and back to my daily routines.Both Dr. Shu and the staff were extremely attentive and conscientious. I'm really appreciated the results of the treatments. This is a truly professional and caring clinic.

I came in for seasonal allergies, and I noticed improvement after my first treatment with Dr. Shu. After the follow up treatments, my symptoms were basically gone. Dr. Shu was very caring, professional, and attentive throughout the process. I’m happy with the experience and would highly recommend New Hope Acupuncture to people struggling with allergies.

My friend gave me a cupping coupon and this is how I started my journey with New Hope. I was lucky enough to receive treatments from here and could not be more grateful with how great it turned out. My health and qi improved tremendously since I started to do acupuncture here and I will recommend this place to anyone I know who needs Chinese medicine treatments.

Jean is an incredibly professional therapist, honestly one of the best I’ve met in the Greater Boston area. During the treatment, he constantly checked in to understand my needs and pain points. He helped release the extreme tightness in my shoulders and neck, and even helped relieve my acid reflux symptoms. Highly recommend! Most importantly, Jean is also a very funny and humorous person hahaha.

I’ve had about five sessions with Dr. Shu now and it’s been a very positive experience. I initially went in for lower back pain and neck tightness and I’ve noticed a steady improvement in both areas. I also found the sessions to be surprisingly helpful for my anxiety. Dr. Shu is professional and easy to work with. It is definitely worth a visit if you're dealing with similar issues.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with acupuncture but was having some pain and other medical concerns. I love that the doctor really listens to me and can help with any problem I have been having. If you are looking to try acupuncture I highly recommend New Hope Acupunand Wellness/Dr Shu

I have been suffering from sciatica pain for more than 5 years and had tried almost everything — physical therapy, chiropractic treatments, steroid injections, and even consultations where surgery was recommended. A couple of months ago, I decided to try acupuncture, and I am truly grateful I found my acupuncturist.

From the very first consultation, Dr Shu was able to understand the root of my problem. She listens patiently, explains the treatment process clearly, and approaches everything with great discipline and care. Over the past few months, I have seen significant improvement not only in my pain levels, but also in my sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.

I also highly recommend Jean, the massage therapist. His patience, professionalism, and detailed explanations during each session make a huge difference. He carefully works through each area of...

Doctor Shu is very helpful to me and my husband. My husband’s overall anxiety and migraines have been improved a lot by visiting here a few times. Same to me, I was suffering with eczema on my hand that the dermatologist or western medicine cannot treat it for almost 2 years. But Shu was able to heal it and stop the itchiness after 3-4 treatments. She also helped my menstrual pain which is amazing! Would like to share my experience and recommend people to visit her for all kind of health issues!

I decided to seek acupuncture because I had tried it before and had good results (pain and swelling after breaking an ankle). This time, I was struggling with sleep issues and also had plantar fasciitis. I've been going to New Hope twice a week for a couple of months; I'm now sleeping a lot better and my plantar fasciitis is no longer a problem. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience at New Hope Acupuncture. I initially went in with significant foot pain from plantar fasciitis, and after just 5–6 treatments, I’ve seen tremendous improvement. The difference in my mobility and comfort has been remarkable.

I also have been dealing with tennis elbow, and that is being treated as well with great care and attention. Dr. Shu is truly focused on helping you heal.

I highly recommend New Hope Acupuncture to anyone dealing with pain or looking for effective, natural treatment options!

You guys will find it’s even more amazing and helpful than my words

I have suffered from persistent acne for most of my life. I have tried diet changes, supplements and even hormonal birth control to no avail. I never knew acupuncture could help with such a thing until I found New Hope. Their holistic approach considers the whole body system. My consultation was thorough and the doctor took her time with questions. After my very first treatment my skin showed signs of improvement - inflammation lessened, redness subsided, and the skin lesions were no longer painful. I was so impressed at what just one session could do! I decided to continue with the regimen the doctor recommended. Not only did my acne continue to clear up, because acupuncture is a holistic approach, I also have has other improvements I did not expect: the dark circles under my eyes are disappearing, I have more energy, am more focused, sleep better throughout the night - I could go...

Dr. Shu treated my chronicle rhinitis that I have suffered for decades, her treatment was effective compared to many other I have tried. I recommended her clinic to all my friends and family living near by.

I was skeptical about acupuncture. But this worked great for me. I had severe back pain after painting my house and tried this place out. I was feeling relief immediately after leaving, and pain free after a few days. Highly recommended New Hope!

Dr. Shu is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. She has been treating my TMJ for awhile now. I didn't know my jaw could be this relaxed, I am so much more comfortable day-to-day. We are working on treating the clenching at night and I appreciate her persistence. My son also sees Dr. Shu for chronic stomach pain. He gives her two enthusiastic thumbs up!

I came here after waking up with terrible lower back pain, I could barely move. Even after my first session, I regained so much mobility. I continued with a few follow-up sessions, and now my back is fully healed. I’m so grateful for the care Dr. Shu provided!

I’ve had a really positive experience working with my acupuncturist, Fangrui Shu. In just 3–4 sessions, I noticed meaningful improvements in several areas that had been bothering me for quite some time. She helped relieve discomfort and tightness related to adhesions from my C-section scar, which I hadn’t found much relief from before.
I also saw improvements in my digestion, especially with constipation, and a noticeable reduction in period cramping. Beyond that, I’ve felt a boost in my overall energy levels and better focus day to day.
She is extremely knowledgeable, and I truly trust her process, which has made a big difference in how comfortable and confident I feel during treatment.
We’re still working on my chronic neck pain, but I’m already encouraged by the early reduction in intensity. I feel supported and optimistic about the progress we’re making, and I’m...

I consider myself so lucky to have found New Hope Acupuncture! I was easily able to book my first appointment online and was seen for symptoms of back pain, knee pain and anxiety. My back and knee pain resolved after the first visit and my anxiety went from a level of ten to a more manageable 4. Scheduling follow up appointments has been quite simple and the front desk is amazing.

New Hope is truly a place filled with love, healing, and genuine hope — the name could not be more perfect.

The positive energy here is reflected in every detail: the way people communicate with patients, the thoughtful setup of the clinic, the plants and flowers, and even the different kinds of music therapy that create such a comforting environment.

I live quite far away, so in the beginning every visit meant taking the T and the commuter rail. One time I even biked there in the rain, and Jia kindly helped me carry my heavy bicycle. I still think about moments like this and feel deeply touched.

In 2025, I was on certain medications that had significant side effects. At one point, I was not even able to cook for myself. Under Dr. Shu’s care, I gradually regained the ability to cook again and eventually going back to work 5 days a week.

Dr. Shu at New Hope Acupuncture is incredible. I sought treatment for a variety of issues—headaches, back pain, stomach issues, fatigue, and brain fog—as well as supplemental support for trauma recovery. Dr. Shu listens intently and has a special gift for healing; she has truly worked magic on my health and recovery. Highly recommended for anyone needing routine to deep, restorative care.

I tried acupuncture as a last resort while struggling with perimenopause issues. I was not a believer walking in but a friend recommended it so I have it shot. The doctor was great with listening to my concerns. I felt the effects after the first visit. It specifically helped with my insomnia, anxiety, brain fog and bloating. I highly recommend!

I recommend seeing Dr. Shu if you have any health concerns. I didn’t expect how much it would improve the quality of my daily life when I first tried out acupuncture with her! I’ve been coming here for 6 months now. I don’t really have any MAJOR health issues but it’s safe to say that I now sleep better and feel more energetic in the day :)

Dr. Shu is a very skilled acupuncturist. I initially came to her for acute OHSS with abdominal and chest pain, and she helped me recover with acupuncture, qigong, and herbal medicine. Now she’s been treating my chronic issues like fibromyalgia, headaches, IBS, coldness and dampness in my body, and irregular periods. It’s hard to find a good acupuncturist, so I’m happy that my friend recommended Dr. Shu to me.

The front desk staff is very nice and friendly. The clinic is cozy and the pillows they use are so comfy that I bought two to use at home! There is also a big Asian grocery store not far away from the clinic, and we get some groceries and snacks on our way home.

I wanted to share my experience after about six months of acupuncture treatment for adenomyosis.

Before I started, my periods were very difficult—I had significant pain for 7–8 days every month, and the bleeding would drag on with spotting until around day 10. It was exhausting both physically and mentally.

After consistent treatment, the changes have been really encouraging. Now, I only feel a slight heaviness or mild discomfort on the first day of my period, and the rest of the days are much easier. My cycle has also become much shorter and cleaner—it now finishes within about 5 days instead of lingering.

I also followed the practitioner’s advice and took traditional Chinese herbal medicine alongside acupuncture, which I believe made a big difference in supporting the results.

This experience really taught me that for chronic...

The receptionist Jai is very responsive and able to assist from setting up the appointment for initial consultation and work out with the insurance provider for treatment approval. Always very welcoming whenever I came in to my visit and help prepare for my treatment.
I started my acupuncture treatments many years ago through several practices after traditional physical therapy and chiropractor’s treatment didn’t help resolve my longstanding chronic pain in lower back and ankle injuries.
Fortunately I was able to find a local practitioner whereas it is very conveniently locating closer to work and home and able to find a schedule to fit my needs.
My current treatment is ranging from traditional acupuncture and/or combination of cupping or electrical stimulation. I have been through many years of struggling with lower back pain to occasional ankle pain issues and...

Ms. Shu is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and detailed in her treatments. She truly cares about helping her patients feel better, and her expertise made us feel very comfortable with the treatment plan she created for us. My husband and I both noticed results within the first week.

The front desk staff is also wonderful, very friendly and quick to respond to messages.
Overall, the entire experience has been welcoming and positive. Highly recommend!
