The Treatment of Neck Pain with Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for relief from all types of neck pain. Neck pain is, well, a pain in the neck! Painful neck and upper back muscles are often due to poor posture and muscle strain due to prolonged sitting or looking down at a phone or the computer. Overuse of the muscles during sporting activities or heavy work loads causes neck strain leading to pain. Neck pain that is due to spinal issues can be treated but please seek a medical diagnosis to ensure there is no underlying disc issue that requires intervention. Neck pain due to simple postural strain or soreness from exertion is easily treated with acupuncture.

What if you’ve been diagnosed with some of these common conditions:

    • Arthritis
    • Stenosis
    • Bulging discs
    • Whiplash

Can Acupuncture Help with Neck Pain?

The answer is, yes, most often acupuncture can help either eliminate or greatly reduce the pain associated with these medical conditions. Serious injury requires medical intervention. Acupuncture can be an adjunct to western therapies such as physical therapy, surgical repair, and reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medication or pain killers.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

At your first visit, we will go over your symptoms and health history to determine if you are a candidate for care. Then we will recommend a customized treatment plan with just the right combination of acupuncture therapies that work best for your unique symptoms. You may receive treatment on your first visit.

Treatment frequency will vary based on your specific condition however, most people start with two visits per week. Once you are improving between the visits, we reduce the frequency until you are on once per month maintenance visits. Patients who follow this protocol achieve long lasting results with even the most chronic and stubborn pain conditions.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Most patients report improvement after several weeks of care. Remember, chronic pain has been with you for some time and pain relief can depend on many variables such as the cause of your pain, your current health status, medications, diet and lifestyle. Rest assured, we see at least an 85% success rate for our patients receiving acupuncture for chronic pain.
