Acupuncture for Neck & Back Pain Relief


Chronic pain in the muscles and joints can make life miserable. Standard anti-inflammatory treatments, physical therapy, and appropriate exercises can often ease pain but when they don't acupuncture is worth considering.

Over the years there has been substantial debate about whether acupuncture really works for chronic pain. A Recent Study in the Archive of Internal Medicine says Yes it does with results from a study of nearly 18,000 participants saying that acupuncture relieved their pain by 50%.


Acupuncture treats muscle pain in a variety of ways, the most direct being that when a disposable painless hair-thin needle is inserted into the skin, the body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural painkillers and they help you feel relaxed, alert and mobile. 

Releasing endorphins do more than just mask the pain. The stress relief from the endorphins, helps to relax the entire body, so that tense muscles which contribute to the pain are not longer a factor.

Acupuncture can also help if the pain is the result of a tight muscle or some tissue between muscles sticking together. If a patient doesn't have a lifestyle that aggravates this problem, then this tension tends to go away quickly, perhaps in as few as 1-2 treatments. Otherwise, acupuncture can work to prevent damage from overuse or repetitive strain until a patient can find ways to adjust.

Another point worth mentioning here is that acupuncture brings fresh blood to an area where a needle is inserted. The body is doing this to engage the immune system which will then deliver fresh blood to the area of the body that needs healing. This can speed recovery for tissue that is damaged like torn tendons, or that by its nature tends not to get much fresh blood, like cartilage.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can help ease a wide range of pain conditions such as:

  • Joint and Soft Tissue Repair
  • Neck and Shoulder injuries
  • Sciatica
  • Knee and Foot Injuries
  • Headaches
  • Tendonitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Muscle Relief,
  • Back Pain
  • Poor Circulation
  • Frozen Shoulder

    Excellent information.Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points,The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin.

The section below explains how the condition of the liver channel is connected with uterine fibroids.  Your liver regulates the blood in your body – in other words we say in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that the liver has been given the function of storing blood in the body, regulating blood flow and preventing blood overflow.   I.               Storage of Blood Blood from the liver glorifies and nourishes the body’s meridians (channels which flow through the body) and it also nourishes your fingers/toes nails and eyes. If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision. If your nails do not get enough blood supply, they will be...

When visiting our clinic for a consultation, you will be asked to stick out your tongue so our practitioner can diagnose your condition. This can seem like a very strange request, and you’re usually left to wonder what they saw there.

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the...
