Shiran “Steve” Li, R.TCMP — Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner & Acupuncturist

The pain that keeps coming back usually isn’t just about the place that hurts and the symptoms you are experiencing may just be parts of a whole story.

That’s the idea behind Steve’s practice. Over more than a decade and 1000s of pains and internal medicine cases — backs, necks, shoulders, knees, hips, and repetitive strain from work, training, and daily overuse — he’s seen how posture, stress, sleep, digestion, and daily habits quietly feed into each other. So he treats the pattern, not just the painful area.

Many people find their way to us after feeling dismissed or confused — they were told their labs look fine, their issues will “calm down on its own,” or that this is just how recovery goes. If that’s been your experience, know this: your symptoms deserve a practitioner who takes the time to understand the whole picture.

People typically come to see Steve for:

• Acute and Chronic pain from desk work, training, or physical jobs
• Supportive care for autoimmune-related diseases and symptoms — fatigue, inflammation, flare cycles
• Post-stroke recovery support and stroke prevention, working alongside medical rehabilitation to help with movement, circulation, and function
• Digestive concerns, stress-related tension, and fatigue
• Eczema and stubborn skin conditions that flare with stress, seasons, or diet
• Slow recovery, limited mobility, or a body that feels older than it should
• Health issues that don’t fit neatly into one box

How he works: Steve combines TCM assessment, acupuncture (including Tung’s and Five Element methods), herbal medicine, osteopathic manual therapy, and practical lifestyle guidance into one individualized plan. His style is direct, attentive, and practical — you’ll leave your first visit understanding what’s actually going on in your body and what the plan is, in plain language.

Whether you’re an office worker with a neck that never unclenches, an athlete pushing through overuse, a parent running on stress and bad sleep, someone managing a chronic digestive condition that’s worn you down, or an older adult who wants to move with confidence again — the goal is the same: feel heard, restore function you can feel, and build a foundation that lasts.
