What We Treat
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, second only to lower back pain. The shoulder joint is the only joint in the body capable of 360-degree rotation, making it both highly mobile and vulnerable to injury.
At the core of shoulder stability is the rotator cuff—a group of four key muscles and tendons that work together to stabilize and support shoulder movement. Because the shoulder is used in nearly all daily activities and is a complex and highly mobile joint, it is prone to injuries and age-related degenerative conditions. Common causes of shoulder pain include tendon inflammation, joint instability, and muscle strain, many of which stem from poor posture or repetitive use, aging or sports-related injuries. These factors can lead to muscle pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion, often disrupting daily activities.
Acupuncture is a highly effective and alternative treatment for shoulder pain. By stimulating acupuncture points on meridian or trigger point, it helps to release endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers—while promoting relaxation of stiff or muscle tightness around the injured area. This holistic approach not only reduces pain but also supports faster healing and improved mobility.
With extensive clinical experience in treating shoulder pain, we combine personalized acupuncture treatments with various modalities to alleviate and treat the injury.
