New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

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.

I've been seeing Dr. Shu twice a week over the last 2 months for the pinched nerves in my neck. The numbness, the tingling and the pain in my right arm/fingers have reduced about 50-60%. I look forward to continuing until all the symptoms leave my body. The herval medicine she formulate for me is quite pricy but I believe it also is helping to reduce the numbness.

I have had a great experience at New Hope Acupuncture. I had been having trouble sleeping but Dr Shu’s treatments have really helped. I would highly recommend New Hope!

I’ve had a great experience and have had seen immediate results. I went for migraines and headaches and it was very beneficial in treating my symptoms. Highly recommend

强烈推荐舒医生的针灸治疗！！！我之前一直被老寒腿困扰着，夏天连短裤都不敢穿，就感觉膝盖里有风一样，简直太难受了😭我从8月中旬开始接受舒医生的针灸治疗 经过这几个月以来的针灸疗法，现在已经有非常大的变化，而且没那种进风的感觉，也舒服了很多。真让我感叹针灸的神奇功效呀👍

I highly recommend Dr. Shu's acupuncture treatment! I've always had cold legs, and I couldn't even wear shorts in the summer because it felt like there was a draft in my knees. It was so uncomfortable. 😭 ​​I started receiving acupuncture treatment from Dr. Shu in mid-August. After acupuncture treatment for several months, I've seen a huge difference. I don't feel the draft anymore, and I feel much more comfortable. I'm really amazed at the magical effects of acupuncture.👍

I have been seeing Dr Shu for about 6 months for my TMJ and seen great improvement. I’ve tried many other TMJ treatment including night guard, physical therapy but did not see any improvement until I started acupuncture treatment here. During the first session Dr Shu also noticed a bump on my neck which later was diagnosed as a benign thyroid nodule by X-ray. She has been treating my problems as a whole and surprisingly the nodule became hard to notice after 3 months. For TMJ we worked on it gradually and eventually used electrical stimulation and see great results. Overall I would highly recommend this practice.

I have been suffering from back pain for quite some time!! Have tried to address with other types of treatment. Never considered acupuncture until it was suggested to me as providing some immediate results. Please understand that I was having difficulty walking!! Found New Hope Acupuncture through a search and decided to call based on ratings.. I am so glad I did.! Let me say that I don’t really write reviews, but feel strongly to do so now. I have been in 3 times.
My pain level has been reduced to near zero.!
No reason to live with that pain level.. It’s your call.. That’s all I have to say.. other than Thank you to New Hope!!

I hurt my back a day before I was leaving for a trip overseas. I desperately did a Google search to look for acupuncture so that I could enjoy the trip and survive a seven hour plane ride. I was fortunate enough to get ann anppo and the treatment I received had phenomenal results. Not only did I have a pain-free flight, I had a week of walking 7 to 8 miles a day with no pain. Unbelievable!!!

Good energy, Doctor Shu is very professional and kind. I had a chronic coughing last time and I just met her 2 times , my cough is almost recovered without any medicine.

I came to fix my lower back and hip pain. Dr. Shu is very patient, professional, and really cares and wants to make you feel better. After a couple sessions(Dr. Shu checks with you every appointment and does different kinds of treatment based on your condition), my year-long pain has completely gone(I’ve tried months of chiropractor and PT which didn’t work much), and other minor issues have also been fixed (low energy level, etc). And it’s covered by insurance! Give it a try and you’ll be surprised how much it can help you

I’ve been curious about acupuncture for some time and decided to give it a try after my husband started going. Initially I had a whole host of “issues” that I needed help with, from perimenopausal symptoms to back pain, anxiety and low energy. I’ve been getting acupuncture twice a week for a few weeks and have noticed a dramatic improvement in all of my symptoms. I also love that Dr Shu explains how the body systems work and are related from the perspective of Chinese medicine as well. I highly recommend New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness.

I would recommend Dr. Shu at New Hope Acupuncture to anyone looking for a skilled acupuncturist and holistic care, I believe all could benefit from her services! I am so grateful to have worked with Dr. Shu over this past year. I have tried many different acupuncturists in different locations where I have lived prior to Massachusetts, but my results with Dr. Shu have been the best! She is truly a gifted practitioner. When I first came to acupuncture, I was extremely fatigued and dealing with a recurrent UTI as well as painful periods. In the past months, I have now had pain free periods, and PMS symptoms have also decreased significantly! I also now have the energy to workout consistently and get through my day feeling good. The UTI symptoms are now few and far in between, and I have gone long stretches without symptoms. The herbs in combination with weekly acupuncture has been...

I am so thankful for my experience at New Hope Acupuncture. I have had lower back pain related to pelvic floor for years. I’ve tried physical therapy, stretches, exercises and medicine with no real success. After only a few visits my results have been life changing. I feel so much better and my pain has basically disappeared. I have finally found pain relief through acupuncture and New Hope. I am forever grateful for their professionalism, kindness and patience during my treatment. I highly recommend this clinic and their services.

This was my first time trying acupuncture, and I came to Dr. Shu for help with irregular periods and PCOS. When I first started, my body felt extremely tired and weak — I often had lower abdominal pain and cold hands and feet. Over time, with Dr. Shu’s treatment, my energy level has improved dramatically. Now I would say my daily energy is around 9 out of 10, and I can go through the day feeling strong and balanced again.

At the beginning, I was nervous and a bit scared of acupuncture, but Dr. Shu was always kind, patient, and encouraging. She explained everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. Gradually, I started to relax and actually enjoy the sessions.

I’m so grateful for how much my health has improved — not only physically, but also mentally. I truly recommend Dr. Shu to anyone struggling with hormonal or energy-related...

I’m a cancer patient (Ewing sarcoma) currently undergoing long-term chemotherapy. I started acupuncture treatment with Dr. Shu two months ago, and it has helped me a lot with the side effects of chemo.

Before acupuncture, I was really struggling — the neurotoxicity from chemo made my feet tingle painfully, I often had night sweats and felt nauseous. Since I have chronic gastritis, the nausea was especially hard to handle. My calf muscles ached so much that I couldn’t stand still for long. The pain relief cream prescribed by my oncologist didn’t really help much with the calf pain.

After starting acupuncture with Dr. Shu (once a week), my calf pain went away quickly. In the following sessions, the treatments also improved the pain in my hands and feet, and the night sweats. What made me happiest was that my appetite came back during recent chemo cycles, which...

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shu since last summer and I am very impressed with her professionalism and passion for her work. She has helped me tremendously with my 20-year sleeping problem, as well as hip pain, tennis elbow pain, and back pain. She is very patient, takes the time to ask detailed questions, and always prepares the best herbal remedies tailored for my needs. I truly appreciate her care and highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and thoughtful treatment.

When I have a health issue that western medicine can’t help, it’s fortunate to find the traditional Chinese medicine/ Acupuncture.
It’s not only help to improve my health issue, also provide positive vibe to encourage me. Recommended to everyone.
Only downturn is, a lot of insurance not cover the cost. It’s out of pocket for me.
