New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

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.

I recently tried acupuncture and was pleasantly surprised by how effective and relaxing the treatment was. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, which immediately helped me feel at ease. Dr. Shu took time to understand my concerns, explained the process thoroughly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. I noticed both reduced tension and a renewed sense of calm afterward. After just a few sessions, my sleep and energy also improved noticeably. It’s a wonderful way to restore balance and support overall well-being.

I would highly recommend acupuncture to anyone looking for a natural, holistic approach to healing and wellness.

I started seeing Dr. Shu while preparing for pregnancy, and her acupuncture treatments greatly helped ease my anxiety. Even though I had to travel a long way, each session left me deeply relaxed. She also adjusted my treatment plan carefully when I faced other health concerns. Within half a year, I was able to get pregnant, and now my baby is 6 months old. I feel so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture care.

Dr. Fangrui Shu at New Hope Acupuncture is wonderful! She is professional, caring, and listens carefully to my concerns. After a few treatments, my pain and stress were much better. The clinic is peaceful and clean. Highly recommend Dr. Shu for anyone looking for effective acupuncture and personalized care!

This is a long past due review. I was introduced to this place last year (2024) by a friend because I suffer from sever migraines and Tylenol wasn’t even taking the edge off during my pregnancy. I was crying almost on daily basis and had no idea how will i get through 9 months of debilitating headaches. so i gave acupuncture a try with Dr Shu, and i all i can say is she truly changed my life! my migraines got a lot better she even helped with my sleep and nausea. Also, beyond the acupuncture, Junting was very honest and genuine. when there were things she couldn’t help with, she’d say it upfront she didn’t let me try just for the sake of money which i highly respect. I’ve been recommending Junting for my friends, family, and coworkers and whoever went gave a positive feedback.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shu for leg, shoulder and ankle pain! From the first session, I was impressed with their professionalism, calm demeanor, and ability to explain the process clearly.

The clinic is always clean and peaceful, making each visit feel like a mini retreat. After just a few sessions, I began to notice a real difference—my pain decreased significantly, and I felt more relaxed and energized.

What really sets Dr. Shu apart is that she listen carefully to what I said each session to how I’m feeling!

I highly recommend Dr. Shu to anyone considering acupuncture. This has truly been a life-improving experience.

Dr. Shu is incredible! I have been seeing her for over 6 months now. I had an allergy problem that no one else had been able to fix for years and with her knowledge and expertise she did! She has helped my overall wellbeing and my energy levels are always better when I see her. She is kind and wonderful to work with. The staff there is so friendly as well. If you have ever debated acupuncture I would definitely recommend booking an appointment with Dr. Shu!

Dr. Shu and TCM have changed my life for the better. I was a skeptic, frustrated by how conventional medicine seemed unwilling to look into women's issues or take them seriously. It's pretty scary to be this publicly vulnerable, but if I keep quiet, so many other people with a uterus might overlook a path to improving their quality of life.

I was one of those people who was effortlessly healthy for most of my life so I took it for granted. Following COVID, however, all of that changed. I had a whole host of issues all at once after COVID - weight gain, aches and swelling in my joints, sinus issues, asthma, brain fog, digestive problems - and all of it was chalked up to a catchall diagnosis of "autoimmune disorder" with no answers to the root cause, just fistfuls of pills to address symptoms. One even had a black box warning. Yeah, I gave that one a pass.
