Acupuncture Treatment for Neck Pain
Neck pain and it’s associated problems of back and shoulder pain, headaches or dizziness is a very common condition seen in the clinic. Whether caused by stress, poor posture, injury, arthritis, general wear and tear or some unknown cause, this can be a distressing complaint causing both pain and restriction of movement.
Diagnosis is made by the location and nature of the pain, assessing the aggravating and relieving factors and trying to get to the underlying cause.
Acupuncture can be very useful when manipulation of the neck is undesirable and can provide safe, effective and gentle treatment of the neck, often reducing pain and increasingly mobility in just a few sessions.
Between our clinics, we can offer a comprehensive service for neck pain. With acupuncture, chiropractic and physiotherapy in all clinics we aim to provide the best all round care. If necessary, we can carry our X-rays at our Harley St location and we have good working relationships with some of the best consultants in the country.
Neck pain is predominantly treated with acupuncture, although herbal medicine may be used in certain situations. This may be combined with the use of heat lamps, Chinese massage or electro-acupuncture to achieve the best results.
