New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

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.

I've been seeing this acupuncturist for about a month now, and the results have been truly remarkable.

When I first started treatment, I had elevated prolactin levels that were affecting my overall health. After just one month of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine, my prolactin levels have decreased significantly and returned to the normal range. This was confirmed through lab tests.

The treatment has also been incredibly effective for menstrual cycle pain. I noticed immediate relief after one session - the pain that used to bother me would disappear right after acupuncture. This alone has made such a difference in my quality of life.

Additionally, I had been dealing with hemorrhoids, and I'm happy to report they have significantly improved with the treatment.

Beyond these specific issues, I've also experienced better sleep...

I had a chronic cough that pharmacy medicine wasn’t helping. After 2months and several different medications, I decided to try acupuncture. I had used New Hope several times in the past with good results. After 2 visits the cough was getting better. By the third visit it was gone. I was extremely pleased with the results. My wife has also used New Hope with good results.

Exceptional Acupuncturist!

I cannot praise Junting enough for her outstanding expertise and compassionate care. From the moment I stepped into her clinic, I was enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Junting took the time to listen to my concerns regarding infertility and thoroughly addressed my underlying issues with precision and dedication.

What sets Junting apart is her profound knowledge of Chinese acupuncture coupled with her genuine concern for her patients' well-being. She didn't just treat my symptoms; she delved into the root causes of my condition, guiding me towards holistic healing. Her commitment to continuous learning and growth in her practice is truly admirable and instills confidence in her abilities.

I've experienced remarkable improvements under Junting's care and will continue to entrust...

Two months after running a marathon I suffered a bulging disc causing chronic back and leg pain and loss of function of my foot. Two years of intensive physical therapy and chiropractic treatments helped manage the pain and improved my mobility but I continued to experienced pain on a daily basis, had a significant limp and was unable to run. My chiropractor suggested I give acupuncture a try and recommended New Hope AcuCenter in Acton. I met with Ms. Shu and after 4 sessions, my pain is almost gone, function is returning to my leg and foot and I am able to jog comfortably with very little gait disruption. I am so grateful for Ms. Shu’s attentive care and the New Hope I have found in regaining my health and active lifestyle. Thank you, New Hope AcuCenter!

“I’m very grateful for the doctor’s patient treatment. I had been feeling unwell for a long time, but after several sessions with the doctor, I now feel much better overall. The doctor was very patient and provided me with a customized treatment plan.”

Ms. Shu is a highly skilled and sensitive acupuncturist. I have relied on her treatments to regain balance and will continue to do so! Treatment rooms are very comfortable, and staff is excellent. I highly recommend Ms. Shu to become your acupuncturist!

I started seeing Dr. Shu after a miscarriage and then subsequent months of infertility. Within three months of seeing Dr. Shu I was pregnant and now baby is here and healthy! I have had a vaso vagal response to blood draws and needles in the past so I was pleasantly surprised that this felt entirely different and I wasn’t uneasy at all - in fact, I fell asleep nearly every session! Would highly recommend Dr. Shu and I’m sure I will be back in the future for other ailments. I am so grateful for the entire team at New Hope!

I am so grateful that a friend recommended New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness to me. Dr Shu evaluated me over the course of several visits and we have embarked on a treatment plan that is already helping with headaches (cluster/migraine) and other related symptoms. Dr Shu is inquisitive, sensitive to your needs and is a gifted TCM and acupuncture provider. I only wish I had found her sooner.

I went for treatment for stomach issue and pain in my back and feet. The back and feet pain were gone after first appointment and the stomach issue has gotten better each appointment. I also came in one time with a sore neck from sleeping the wrong way and the pain was gone almost immediately. Highly recommend

Today I booked my very first acupuncture session at “New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness” in Acton with Dr. Junting Shu & Jia (the receptionist, who is the sweetest & friendliest person you’ll meet)💕

Being 39 weeks pregnant, I decided to try acupuncture for labor induction as advised by my doctor because of my baby’s asymmetric IUGR & honestly, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made☺️
My two-hour session began with a detailed consultation. Dr. Junting Shu took her time, covering every aspect of my health history before starting. She was calm, relaxed, & incredibly accommodating never once did I feel rushed. When the procedure began, each needle felt like it was addressing something specific in my body.
Once the needles were placed, she left the room with a warm red light & a bell in case I needed her.

That quiet...

Newhope acupuncture is absolutely amazing. Everyoneis beyond professional and extremely knowledgeable. Very kind, caring and compassionate. I started about a month ago. When i first came in i was in absolute agony having no relief at all for the last 6 years from pinched nerves, bulging, herniated discs in cervical,thorasic and lumbar spine, Muscle knots. Ive had many radio-frequency nerve burning done as well as many steroid injections and they do nothing. I was told i need a spinal fusion long ago but have been trying to not have to get it done as long as i possibly could. Within minutes of Dr. Shu doing the acupuncture i got more relief than i have gotten with western medicine in 6 years. There are so many great benefits to this. My menstrual cycle has significantly improved beyond belief. I was having worse cycles and cramping for quite some time compared to my younger years. I...

I cannot recommend this acupuncturist enough; this woman has saved my life. I first came to see Junting at the end of February (from the recommendation of my boyfriend) when I had had to have emergency surgery to have a kidney stone removed in the ER. Immediately, I felt relief (my pain was through the roof after having had my kidney stone stuck for more than 2 weeks and then having a stent placed and removed in order to let the debris of the stone be able to pass.) I have gone to see her every week since and I have had no kidney pain or issues since. She has also been helping me with my menstrual issues (I constantly have ovarian cysts rupture and am pretty sure I have endometriosis) and my pain related to my cycles has been greatly decreased. This woman is a hidden treasure in Acton and anyone suffering anything remotely similar to what I have gone through should consider coming to...

I cannot recommend New Hope Acupunture and wellness highly enough. I came in struggling hives and constant bloating that had been disrupting my daily life. From the very first session, I felt truly listened to and cared for. Ms. Shu took the time to understand my symptoms in detail and explained the treatment process clearly, which immediately put me at ease.

The results have been incredible. After just a few treatments, my hives began to ease, and the bloating that used to be an everyday battle is now so much more manageable. I feel lighter, more comfortable, and overall healthier than I have in years.

Beyond the treatments themselves, Ms. Shu creates such a calming and supportive environment—it’s truly a healing space. I leave every session not only with physical relief, but also with a sense of balance and peace.

If you’re struggling with...

This was my first experience with acupuncture, and I truly appreciate how effective it is when practiced with precision and without additional spiritual elements, focusing instead on its scientifically recognized benefits. I had been dealing with daily tension headaches, anxiety, and arrhythmia. After chemotherapy for cancer, I also experienced neuropathy from shingles, heavy legs, restless legs, and eczema, among other issues.
Acupuncture here has made a remarkable difference for me. My daily headaches are gone, my anxiety has improved significantly, and both my arrhythmia and heavy legs are much better. It is amazing to see how the body was designed and how carefully stimulating specific nerves can have such a positive impact on overall health.
I highly recommend this practice. The doctor is exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable about the nerve points that truly make a...

I first started seeing Dr. Shu for postpartum recovery, among other concerns. From my very first visit, she took the time to truly listen and carefully note everything I was experiencing. Dr. Shu and her team are warm, welcoming, and run a wonderful practice where I always feel comfortable and cared for. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine is clear, and she applies it with such skill and compassion. I had experienced acupuncture before, but Dr. Shu’s approach was different—in the best possible way. Even though I live more than 30 minutes away, I continued to see her because of how much she has helped me. I would highly recommend Dr. Shu to anyone seeking acupuncture or holistic care.

I came to this clinic for acupuncture with Dr. Shu because of eye dryness/inflammation and stomach pain. After six sessions, the results have been remarkable — my eye inflammation has almost completely disappeared, and my stomach pain has greatly improved. Dr. Shu’s treatment has been very effective, and I plan to continue coming here for ongoing wellness and body care. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend New Hope Acupuncture to anyone considering acupuncture. A few months ago, I came to see Dr. Shu because I was struggling with abnormal bleeding outside of my menstrual cycle. At first, I reached out just to give it a try, but Dr. Shu’s gentle manner and professional skill quickly earned my trust. After just one treatment, I noticed a clear improvement, and after several months of regular acupuncture, the issue has greatly improved—over the past two months, I haven’t experienced this problem at all.

What makes Dr. Shu’s approach even more special is how she combines acupuncture with guided meditation. This helped me deeply relax during each session, reduced my stress, and supported my overall healing.

If you are looking for a natural way to improve your health, I truly recommend visiting New Hope Acupuncture.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 4 years ago. At one point my pain being so bad I was unable to get off the couch. I also suffered from nausea and fatigue due to digestive problems. When I made the initial appointment I was having pain down my legs, almost daily nausea and a mood that varied depending on the day. My treatment began twice a week. It was explained that I had too much “dampness” and that was causing my pains. I was given easy suggestions such as wearing socks and sneakers when walking my dog, keeping my feet warm when at home and to do simple breathing techniques that I did during the treatment, but at home to protect the work that was happening during acupuncture. Each time I went for a visit I got a little better. The nausea was gone first. Within a few visits! Every visit I was asked how I was feeling and what I was noticing. In a very short time my pain subsided. I...

Dr. Shu is very patient and responsible. I went to her because of eczema on my neck, shoulders, and arms. I had previously seen a doctor and used steroid medications, which controlled the condition for a while but then caused even more severe flare-ups that seriously affected my daily life. I found Dr. Shu’s clinic on Google. During my first visit, she carefully learned about my condition and created a treatment plan that combined acupuncture, bloodletting, cupping, and herbal medicine. At each follow-up, she listened attentively and adjusted the treatment according to my situation. Throughout the entire process, she has been very patient and kind.

I sprained/broke my ankle, and after 4 months, the ankle was still very swollen. Dr. Shu was able to significantly cut down on the inflammation within just a few visits. I'm talking more than halving the size of my swollen ankle. And they accepted my insurance.

After this, Dr. Shu was able to help clear up my lungs, clear up some headaches, and help me restore calm.

During this process, Dr. Shu walks me through which organs she is targeting, which fascinate me. It feels like Traditional Chinese Medicine is much more focused on the whole body's health, rather than just trying to alleviate symptoms.

I am enjoying my journey with Dr. Shu as I learn more about the health of my body from the TCM perspective.

When playing sports, I hurt my thumb really badly and it caused me to be worried about its mobility for some time, but after getting acupuncture here, my thumb has felt more stable ever since.

The atmosphere is very calming and nice, what I really like are the heat lamps that are in every room. As somebody that doesn't feel great if my feet get cold, having heat sources like that is a massive help.

Dr. Shu has been amazing! I have had other experiences with acupuncture, but this is by far the best experience. As a breast cancer survivor, I was told that I was possibly in perimenopause. After working with Dr. Shu, she was able to help my cycle regulate as well as manage my anxiety and improved my sleep. She also helped me manage my TMJ as I used to go for Botox prior and I have not been needing it since seeing her. She is very knowledgeable and knows the body very well! She is literally magic and I will continue to work with her!

I had been suffering from chronic pain in my left arm and shoulder for over 10 years, and after visiting many specialists without finding relief, I finally found hope with Dr. Shu. After only three sessions of acupuncture, I feel so much better. Dr. Shu is not only highly professional but also kind, caring, and attentive to her patients’ needs. I am truly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective care.
