Acupuncture Session

Acupuncture is an important tool in the relief and treatment of neck and shoulder pain. Not only can people find relief in their initial session but also acupuncture works to address the underlying cause to prevent pain from returning. Acupuncture works to correct balances in the nervous system that is leading to pain and inflammation. Acupuncture can help to relieve muscle pain and spasms and has been shown to be an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain.

Trigger point injections work hand-in-hand with acupuncture to provide fast and lasting relief of chronic pain. In cases of neck and shoulder pain most often the underlying cause is around inflammation leading to the cycling of a pain-spasm cycle. Studies have shown that using therapeutic or trigger point injections can calm the nerve inflammation and stop the pain-spasm cycle leading to lasting pain relief. Patients report at their second treatment a 25% reduction in chronic pain. Typically only 4-6 treatments are needed.

At our clinic we use a combined approach of trigger point/therapeutic injections and acupuncture to provide an integrated whole-body treatment plan. Injections stop the pain-spasm cycle, acupuncture helps to boost the bodies natural ability to heal itself to provide lasting health and vitality.
