Melissa Rambo LAc
A transplant from Nebraska, I journeyed out to Arizona at 21 years old to finish up my Bachelors degree at ASU. It wasn’t until years later I was working in accounting and payroll, pregnant with my second child, I was struggling with insomnia every night. At the suggestion of a friend, I sought out acupuncture forsleep. It worked immediately and the stresses in life started to melt away with every visit.
This transformative experience compelled me to extend the gift of healing to others. In pursuit of this calling, I enrolled in the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, completing my studies in December 2022. Throughout my tenure at PIHMA, I accrued three years of clinical experience, contributing to the school's clinic and insurance billing under the mentorship of David Bell, L.Ac.
Further enriching my education, I had the privilege of training under Ioannis Solos, PhD, MD (China), L.AC., learning Jiao style scalp acupuncture, at St. Vincent de Paul and honed my expertise at Natural Medicine & Detox under the guidance of Dr. Fontes, DACM. Following my boards and licensure, I became certified in Acupuncture Injection Therapy and have been excited from the results my patients are seeing in chronic pain conditions.
These diverse clinical experiences and mentorships have played a
pivotal role in shaping my journey towards becoming an acupuncturist, allowing me to blend theoretical knowledge with practical skills in the pursuit of holistic healing.

Common pain conditions we treat
Neck pain
Neck pain is one of the most common and persistent of all medical conditions. It’s estimated that 30% of adults in the US suffer from some form of neck pain every year, and 50% of adults develop chronic or intermittent pain. Whether you woke up this morning with sharp pain when you turn your neck, or it’s been hurting for a few weeks or for many years, whether it’s from a long airplane ride, a sports injury, or a chronic condition, we can help.
Low back pain
Debilitating low back pain is another common condition for which dry needling is often effective. We are adept at dry needling for low back pain while addressing the many factors that can influence the condition, including posture, tight muscles, spine and disc pathologies, and lifestyle factors, however acute or chronic.
Hip pain
Hip pain is a notoriously persistent and difficult to treat condition that has many possible presentations and causes, including muscle injury and weakness, tendonitis, and arthritis. Dry needling is an extremely effective modality that can access triggers deep in the hip and promote the resolution of inflammation.
Shoulder pain
The shoulder is the most complex joint in the body, prone to injuries from instability, weakness, and repetitive stress. Whether you’re a baseball player, got hurt doing strength training or took a hard fall, we know the shoulder inside and out and we can help you get out of pain and back in the game.
Pain that changes and moves around
Muscle pain has a tendency to change, getting better and worse and changing location based on numerous interrelated factors including activity, sleep, stress, and so on. The body often compensates, which creates a snowball effect, where pain develops elsewhere. We work to address all the sources of pain.

On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) issued a final decision stating that Medicare will now cover acupuncture for patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP). According to CMS: “The decision regarding coverage takes into account an assessment of benefits and harms and the opioid public health crisis. While a small number of adults 65 years of age or older have been enrolled in published acupuncture studies, patients with chronic low back pain in these studies showed improvements in function and pain. The evidence reviewed for this decision supports clinical strategies that include nonpharmacologic therapies for chronic low back pain. CMS notes too that while there is variation in covered indications and frequency of services, a number of large private payers provide some coverage of acupuncture for certain indications.”
