“These findings suggest that abdominal acupuncture is an effective alternative treatment for neck pain.”
A 2017 study published in the journal PLOS ONE, a leading scientific journal in the United States, showed acupuncture treatments caused significant and lasting improvements in chronic neck pain for a group of 154 study participants. The participants were randomly assigned to either receive true acupuncture or fake acupuncture. Those participants who received true acupuncture showed significant improvements in their neck pain and other quality-of-life measurements without negative side effects. The improvements were even more marked between the two groups about 3 months after the treatments, showing the effects of true acupuncture are long-lasting.
Acupuncture treatments address neck pain by addressing some of the leading causes of pain. Acupuncture can:
- Relax shoulder and neck muscles
- Reduce pain-causing inflammation
- Improve circulation, which reduces pain
- Improve neck mobility, which can be impaired by pain and muscle stiffness
It’s a natural treatment
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses completely natural treatment methods that leverage ancient herbal remedies and your body’s innate healing processes rather than synthetic medications. We help you get back to optimal health without drugs or harmful side effects.
We use acupuncture to access your body’s natural healing processes
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins – neurotransmitters responsible for blocking the sensation of pain. The stimulation also releases other chemicals that either change how the body experiences pain or triggers the release of other chemicals that activate the body’s internal regulating system. This process has a normalizing effect on nerves and hormones. By bringing the body into better biochemical balance, acupuncture promotes physical and emotional well-being and supports the body’s natural healing abilities.
We address the root causes of your neck pain
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine address the root causes of your neck pain rather than just masking your symptoms. We develop treatment plans that are unique to each patient because each patient comes in with a unique body, health history and root cause behind their neck pain. By addressing your root causes, we create more lasting healing and bring your body back to a place where it can function optimally, using its natural healing processes to help you stay well.
