Acupuncture for Neck and Shoulder Pain

Acupuncture Hub offers a great range of services that can help relieve stubbon neck and shoulder pain.

Are You Struggling With Neck or Shoulder Pain?

Whether you're dealing with a stiff neck, radiating arm pain, or debilitating shoulder discomfort, we're here to help.  We support people every day in finding relief and regaining mobility. Choosing the wrong treatment, such as heavy massage, can sometimes worsen neck pain by increasing inflammation. That's why acupuncture is an ideal solution. It gently reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, and encourages your body to release its natural painkillers for long lasting relief.

radiating Neck pain or numbness in the arms?

This often stems from tightness in the neck caused by issues with the upper cervical vertebrae (C4, C5, or C6). Our skilled practitioners target these areas with precision to relieve pain and restore balance. We use high grade needles, moxa, and sliding cupping to release tension in the neck and shoulders gently and effectively.

EXPERT CARE FOR SHOULDER PAIN

Shoulder pain is common and can arise from conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, or bursitis. The shoulder is such a flexible joint that it's more prone to injury, and pain here often originates from issues in the neck or upper back. We use functional acupuncture to release the muscles around the joint. Once the tight muscles causing resistance are released, the shoulder can move freely again, which helps stop the pain at its source rather than just easing the symptoms. Acupuncture addresses the joint, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage involved, rather than treating the pain in isolation. That's why our approach targets both the source and the symptoms of your discomfort.
Acupuncture Hub specialises in
  1. Releasing muscle tension with targeted motor point acupuncture
  2. Reducing inflammation with slide cupping therapy
  3. Promoting natural joint movement and flexibility

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can acupuncture help a pinched nerve in the neck?
Yes. We target the muscles and vertebrae contributing to nerve compression, often around C4, C5, or C6, to reduce tightness and relieve pressure on the nerve.

How many sessions will I need for shoulder pain?
This depends on how long you've had the pain and its underlying cause. Some clients feel relief after one or two sessions, others need a short course to see lasting change.

Is acupuncture better than massage for neck pain?
It depends on the cause. Heavy massage can sometimes increase inflammation in an already irritated area. Acupuncture works differently, reducing inflammation and encouraging your body's natural pain relief response.

What techniques do you use for neck and shoulder pain?
We use acupuncture, electro acupuncture, moxa, and sliding cupping, chosen based on what your assessment shows.
