Understanding Shoulder Pain

The shoulder’s complex structure makes it prone to injuries and chronic conditions. Pain can arise from overuse, poor posture, or inflammatory conditions. Frozen shoulder, for instance, leads to stiffness, limited motion, and significant discomfort, often requiring months of rehabilitation. Rotator cuff injuries or tendonitis can further impair daily activities, making effective treatment crucial.

 

How Acupuncture Relieves Shoulder Pain

Acupuncture works by inserting fine needles into targeted points, which helps:

• Stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

• Enhance blood flow to the affected area, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

• Improve joint mobility and alleviate stiffness, particularly beneficial for frozen shoulder and similar conditions.

• Address the root causes of pain through energy balance, as understood in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Common acupuncture points for shoulder pain include LI 15 (Jianyu), SI 9 (Jianzhen), and LI 4 (Hegu), which are strategically chosen based on the individual’s symptoms and diagnosis.

Patients have shared inspiring testimonials about their recovery journeys. For example, one patient noted, "After weeks of severe shoulder pain that limited my arm's movement, acupuncture provided immediate relief. By my third session, I regained almost full mobility." Another individual emphasized, "I opted for acupuncture after medications failed to relieve my rotator cuff pain, and now I can finally return to my workouts."
