Acupuncture for Neck Pain and Stiffness
Acupuncture is used to help manage certain types of neck
pain and stiffness. People with acute or chronic neck
discomfort may consider it as part of an individualized
treatment plan, depending on the cause of their symptoms.
Stiff Neck
In my practice, I commonly see patients with stiff
necks during the spring and fall. A person may wake
up with sudden neck pain and difficulty turning
their head.
Symptoms can include sharp pain, stiffness, and
restricted neck movement. In my clinical experience,
some patients improve after two or three acupuncture
treatments, although the number of sessions needed
varies.
Traumatic Neck Injury
A traumatic neck injury may occur during a workplace
incident, car accident, sporting event, or another
event involving force to the neck.
Symptoms may include stiffness, neck pain, pain
radiating into one or both arms, and numbness or
tingling in the hands or arms. These symptoms should
be medically evaluated to identify the injury and
determine appropriate care.
