How Acupuncture Can Help with Shoulder Pain

How Acupuncture Can Help with Shoulder Pain

If you’re looking for a solution to your shoulder pain, acupuncture is an option. However, it doesn’t just help with pain but with several problems that can arise from repetitive use, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

In this article, we’ll look at how a London acupuncture centre treats shoulder pain, what you can expect from acupuncture shoulder pain treatment and the science behind the treatment. 

Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

Some research suggests that one of the most common causes of shoulder pain is damage to the rotator cuff. To explain, the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint. This group of muscles and tendons helps to stabilise the shoulder joint, allowing the arm to move freely. If the rotator cuff is injured, the arm can’t move properly, which can cause pain and even lead to permanent disability.

Symptoms typically can include:

  • Pain that is worse at night or in the morning 
  • Pain that is worse with movement 
  • Pain that is worse with stretching or activity 
  • Pain that is worse when motion is increased or when the arm is moved
  • Pain that is worse with specific movements or positions 

However, persistent shoulder pain can have ongoing psychological effects aside from physical issues. For example, being unable to do the activities you used to do, and the trauma of pain can lead to depression and have a severe emotional impact. 

Acupuncture Shoulder Pain Treatment

Acupuncture is an alternative option to treat the pain that a shoulder injury can cause. It is a type of traditional Chinese medicine administered using thin, solid needles inserted into the body at different points to regulate energy flow. Acupuncture is effective in treating pain, inflammation, and depression. It works by stimulating the body’s natural pain relievers, like endorphins. Acupuncture can also help with other benefits, like improving sleep, decreasing anxiety, and improving mood.

Getting Help

Acupuncture therapy is based on the theory that pain is the body’s response to inflammation. The needles are inserted into the skin and muscles, which are then stimulated to relieve pain. The needles are moved around, stimulating different points on the body. They are inserted into a certain point for a specified time and removed. Where conventional treatments have failed, many turn to acupuncture as a holistic and science-backed end to long-term pain management.
