Shoulder and Backache

 

In modern society, the use of computer and long hours of working, with improper sitting and working position causes stiffness of the shoulder, and discomfort of the lower back.

 

Acupuncture is proved to be effective in relieve of sudden or prolonged stiffness of shoulder or discomfort on the back by promoting flow of Qi and Blood of the meridian and collaterals, and by stimulating the local point of pain, to achieve instant relieve.

 

Prolonged neck stiffness might cause constant dizziness or headache, due to lack of blood flow and thus lack of oxygen supply to the brain. Some might experience tiredness and decreased memory even though rest and sleep is adequate.

Joint Discomfort and Pain

 

Trigger finger, limited movement of the wrist, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sciatic nerve compression, protrusion of intervertebra disc, limited movement of knee joint, sprain ankle, etc.

 

The above mentioned are examples of discomfort of joints.

The cause of the discomfort and pain, is due to unsmooth flow of Qi and Blood, or stagnated "evil" (dampness, cold, wind), in the joint.

 

Acupuncture treatment relieve the discomfort and pain of the joints by promoting flow of Qi and Blood, and also by regulating health and body condition as a whole.

 

If minor discomfort and pain is left untreated, after a period of time, limited movement turns into unable to move, or causes calcification of the end of joints causing increased difficulty in treatment and ability to cure.
