Understanding neck & shoulder pain
What causes neck and shoulder pain, and how does acupuncture treat it?
Neck and shoulder pain comes from five sources: poor posture, long hours at a desk, whiplash, stress and old injuries. Each one tightens the muscles of the neck, shoulders and upper back, and left alone the tension builds rather than resolving on its own.
Dr. Tsai uses fine, sterile needles to relax tight muscles, improve circulation and restore the range of motion pain has taken away. He pairs the treatment with simple habit changes you use at your desk, so the relief holds between visits. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes.

Post-Treatment Care

The evidence
Why does needling release neck and shoulder tension?
Needling releases the tension because it relaxes tight muscle fibers, increases local blood flow and triggers endorphin release. Traditional Chinese Medicine names the same problem as stagnant Qi along the Gallbladder and Bladder meridians, which run through this area.
Backed by science and tradition
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, neck and shoulder tension reflects stagnant Qi and blood along the Gallbladder and Bladder meridians, which run directly through this area.
Modern understanding reaches the same result: acupuncture relaxes tight muscle fibers, increases local blood flow and triggers the release of endorphins, easing both the pain and the tension that causes it.
