We can help your neck feel better too!
Acupuncture can treat a variety of neck pain, including chronic neck pain, tension headaches related to neck muscles, stiffness from poor posture, pain caused by muscle strain, whiplash injuries, and pain associated with cervical spondylosis (degenerative disc disease in the neck), by targeting specific points on the neck and body to relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow in the area.
Key points about acupuncture for neck pain:
Muscle tension:
Acupuncture is particularly effective for treating neck pain caused by tension in muscles like the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and levator scapulae, which can contribute to stiffness and pain in the neck and shoulders.
Headaches:
Acupuncture can also help with headaches stemming from neck tension, as practitioners often target points around the base of the skull.
Postural issues:
Poor posture can lead to neck pain, and acupuncture can help alleviate tension caused by prolonged computer use or repetitive movements.
Whiplash:
Acupuncture can be used to manage pain and improve range of motion after a whiplash injury.
Degenerative conditions:
While not a cure, acupuncture may help manage pain related to cervical spondylosis, a condition where the spinal discs in the neck deteriorate.
