Shoulder knots + headaches? ๐ฃ
That tight โknotโ on top of your shoulder may be more than just muscle tension.
When the upper trapezius stays tight (stress + posture + overuse), it can trigger:
โ
neck stiffness
โ
shoulder tightness
โ
pain between the shoulder blades
โ
tension headaches / headaches at the base of the skull
Many people try stretching or massage, but the tightness keeps coming back because the muscle + nervous system stay overactive.
At Orangetown Acupuncture, we help release tension and reduce pain naturally using:
โจ acupuncture
โจ dry needling
โจ electroacupuncture
โจ cupping therapy
