Non-Invasive Pain Management
in Okemos and Lansing, MI
For patients across Okemos, East Lansing, and Lansing, MI looking at chronic or persistent pain without surgery or long-term medication.
Schedule an AppointmentMany patients exploring chronic pain treatment without surgery in Michigan find their way to Wellness Alternatives after weeks, months, or years of working through the standard options — physical therapy, repeated injections, medication management — without the kind of resolution they were hoping for. The work in this category is different in structure: a clinical approach to pain that does not involve surgery, does not rely on long-term medication, and stays focused on the tissue underneath the symptom.
Dr. Janet Eng selects, sequences, and personally administers each session in this category. She brings the clinical experience of a board-certified emergency physician — thirty-plus years on the front line of acute pain — along with a medical toxicology fellowship and continued training through the University of South Florida Morsani Personalized Medicine Course, A4M, AMMG, IFM, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and My Injection Training, and currently participating in the AMSKU Ultrasound Fellowship. The plan she designs is complementary to your existing medical care, not a replacement for it.

Three Tools That Address Pain Differently
Each of the modalities below acts on a different layer — nerve and inflammation patterns, the connective tissue itself, and stubborn scar and tendon tissue under ultrasound guidance. Dr. Eng typically combines them rather than running any one in isolation.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Frequency-calibrated electrical currents — often the gentlest tool in the pain toolkit, used for nerve and tissue concerns.
GainsWave Recovery
Acoustic and electric energy applied to soft tissue — designed to support healing in chronic tendon, joint, and musculoskeletal pain.
AltPoint Percutaneous Needle Electrolysis
Ultrasound-guided needle delivering a controlled galvanic current to chronic tendon, ligament, and scar-tissue cases — a non-surgical option for select patients.
How Care Works Here
Pain rarely responds to a single intervention. A typical plan starts with an initial visit consultation to understand what is driving your symptoms — not just where you feel them. From there, Dr. Eng layers the tools above based on what your tissue is showing: microcurrent for nerve and inflammation patterns, GainsWave Recovery shockwave for chronic tendon and joint involvement, and AltPoint needle electrolysis for stubborn tendon, ligament, and scar-tissue cases under ultrasound guidance. Many patients find the combination matters more than any single modality.
Questions About Non-Invasive Pain Management
No surgery, no implants, no needles delivering medication. The treatments in this category act on the body through targeted energy — acoustic, electric, or electromagnetic — applied at the skin or through soft pads. Patients leave a session and resume their day.
No. Dr. Eng is a medical doctor and explicitly works alongside your existing providers. Non-invasive pain management here is complementary — it does not replace medication you are managing with another physician, and it does not replace surgical evaluation when surgical evaluation is the right call. Dr. Eng will be honest with you when that's the case.
Common situations include chronic tendon and joint pain that physical therapy hasn't resolved, lingering pain after injury or surgery, nerve patterns that medication alone hasn't quieted, and persistent musculoskeletal complaints. The approach is individual — Dr. Eng will tell you honestly whether the tools in this category are a fit before you start.
Most patients begin with a functional medicine consultation rather than a single-modality session. That gives Dr. Eng the history, the imaging context, and the goals she needs before choosing which combination of therapies to recommend. Patients seeking non-surgical pain relief in Okemos or pain management in Lansing, MI typically book the consult first.
