Reduce Neck Pain With Acupuncture

New patients often suffer from a variety of neck issues, ranging from stiffness to acute pain.  These conditions typically stem from activities such as postural strain from computer use, texting, studying etc.  An aching or stiff neck can lead to back pain, headaches, tooth grinding, jaw pain and severely limit one’s movement and ability to carry out every day functions.

Aside from improving posture and ensuring your workspace is ergonomic, what can you do to ease neck stiffness and pain?  Acupuncture can be used to treat these conditions as they arise.  Increasing the neck’s circulation can relieve both pain and tightness in the area.  Different areas of the back can also be treated to reduce tension that could lead to neck issues.  Moreover, acupuncture can treat stress which sometimes physically manifests as muscle tightness and muscle pain.
