Neck acupuncture and holistic solutions for Shoulder Pain

The Acupuncture Hub offers a great range of services that can help you relieve tormenting neck and shoulder pain.

Neck pain is a common condition treated at our hub. Choosing the wrong treatment option for neck pain, such as a heavy massage, can sometimes make the pain worse. This is because it can further inflame the neck. Acupuncture needles tend to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the area. They also stimulate the body to release its own natural pain-killers.

Pain or numbness which radiates down the arms is often caused by a dysfunction in the upper neck around vertebrae C6, C5 or C4. We may needle the area to relieve the numbness.
At Acupuncture Hub, we use high grade needles, Moxa, and slide cupping to gently release the neck and shoulders as shown in the video.

SHOULDER PAIN CAN INCLUDE FROZEN SHOULDER, ROTATOR CUFF DISORDERS OR BURSITIS

Shoulder pain is quite common and is regularly treated in the clinic. It can be caused by external trauma or internal imbalance. The affected area can include the shoulder joint, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. As the shoulder has a high degree of flexibility, it it less stable and more prone to injuries than other joints of the body. Nerves that supply the shoulder and arm originate from the neck and upper spine. Conditions of the neck and upper back commonly contribute to pain in the shoulder. Slide cupping and trigger point needling are highly recommended options when treating the neck and shoulders.

WHY IS ACUPUNCTURE SUITED TO TREATING SHOULDER PAIN?

Acupuncture for shoulder pain is a highly effective option that works to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing by targeting specific pressure points. As you may be aware, doctors, chiropractors, and osteopaths are all using needles to treat neck and shoulder pain. This is because the needles used in acupuncture can easily get to the deep underlying muscles, especially when compared to massage. So why not let an expert in the field wield those needles more accurately? I treat the following types of shoulder pain: Chronic Shoulder Pain and Stiffness, Shoulder Muscle Spasm and Tension, Rotator Cuff Disorders such as tears and strains, Frozen Shoulder, Arthritis of the Shoulder, Labral tear, and AC joint injury.
