Shoulder Pain Treatment
Over the past few years, doctors have been noticing an increase in the number of medical cases related to shoulder pain. Simple things that people used to do, they no longer find it easy to do; in fact, they find it quite tricky and impossible to do because of the excruciating pain in the region.
One of the four muscles– the supraspinatus muscle, is primarily the area where one experiences acute discomfort. The shoulder as a part of the body is prone to repetitive injury because of the ball and socket joint functioning. Overuse of the area automatically results in the body responding. The pain can be quite excruciating and can drive you up the wall, Luckily, there is a solution in the form of acupuncture.
The ancient Chinese treatment plan
- The licensed acupuncture professional ensures that they have all the details about the patient. It would be in the best interest of the patient to have a scan done at a reliable lab and carry the records for the consultation.
- After checking the report and conducting their own detailed analysis, the acupuncturist will be able to identify the extent of the damage. He/she will then take into account the cause and the pattern that has brought about the injury. He/she will then work on a treatment plan to sort out the issue.
- This ancient science focuses on reducing any inflammation without the need of medication. The pain is treated without any conventional method. During the procedure, the blood flow also improves, thereby decreasing any tension in the region.
- The professional inserts thin, sterilized needles into strategic parts of the body for a positive response. This ancient Chinese treatment releases pain killing chemicals in the body known as opioids and the adenosine, commonly referred to as natural painkillers, which ultimately does away with the pain. The treatment, in actuality, concentrates on dealing with hidden causes rather than the in-your-face causes.
- A patient opting for acupuncture for the first time may be scared upon seeing all the needles However, the needles are so thin and fine that you will never experience any pain except for a tiny prick.
- To achieve the best results with acupuncture, it may be essential to have a series of follow up sessions.
- Acupuncture is one of the safest alternative treatments that do not require going under the knife. Since the plan is to get to the root cause that has injured the tendons in the shoulder region, the specialist will work out a plan.

Back Pain Treatment
When your back is inflamed because of a fall or something you cannot fathom, you cannot ignore the pain. Since the spine may be affected, it is wise to check out whether any of the vertebrae has gone out of sync. To understand what has gone wrong, a scan will help. If required, one may need an operation.
If you have pain because of improper posture, a slipped disc or an underlying cause, acupuncture works rather well. This is a non-traditional method to treat back pain. It may not be your first choice of treatment, but once you try this ancient Chinese treatment, you will never opt for anything else. Many physicians on a global footing are advocating this treatment as it has helped people of every age suffering from immense pain. The treatment can be traced back to over 2000 years ago. Acupuncture treatment is based on the flow of energy. If there is a lack of the right energetic flow in the body, this ancient Chinese treatment is the remedy.
Methodology
Acupuncture treats every part of the body right from the central nervous system (brain and the spine) and beyond. The licensed professional finds a suitable medium in the body and inserts sterilized needles at strategic points. This can break the surface or go deeper depending on the extent of the problem. You may experience a slight tingling sensation once the procedure is underway. The needles don’t touch the bone but do touch deeper muscles or fat layers under the skin. This is kept on certain median points of the body for a good twenty to thirty minutes depending on the extent of damage to the areas. If required, the acupuncturist may warm the needles or charge them with the use of electricity on the needles after insertion.
The science behind acupuncture
The ancient Chinese treatment identifies thousands of points in the human body. These points, according to the science, are interconnected. Limited amounts of energy or ‘chi’ in the body result in problems like acute back pain. Sometimes people get these pains because of bad posture or due to an underlying problem in the body.
The narrowing of the lower part of the spine causes many pinched nerves. This also causes undue pain in the body resulting in a feeling of loss in the legs, irritable bowel movements, and swelling in the legs. Alternative treatment with acupuncture stimulates the nerves that are located in the muscles of the back. Through this stimulus, endorphins are released which reduces the excruciating pain.
Through a series of sessions (the treatment sessions varies depending on the extent of the problem), the inflammation and the pressure on the muscles and the joints are effectively reduced. The science deals with not only the pain but also the root cause of the problem as well.
The facts cannot be disputed about this ancient science. The results last for a long time. Instead of opting for a painkiller for temporary relief, opt for acupuncture.
