How Does Acupuncture Treat Neck Pain?
Acupuncture effectively treats neck pain of most types. When inserting the acupuncture needle, the body responds quickly and immediately relaxes muscles around the needle and increases blood circulation. This natural response is how acupuncture works to reduce pain. The brain responds to acupuncture by releasing powerful natural chemicals, like endorphins and enkephalins, which are very strong, natural pain killers.
At Integrative Acupuncture, we frequently incorporate other healing modalities to treat neck pain, like moxibustion, cupping, and infrared heat. We also use deep tissue massage after the acupuncture to create further pain relief. We may recommend herbal supplements to help the circulation continue between visits. Our providers have Masters degrees in Herbal Medicine and are licensed to provide herbal therapeutics by the state of Vermont. We are experts at knowing contraindications with medications and will communicate with your other providers about what we recommend for you.
