Are you nursing a bum shoulder? Did you overthrow a baseball last spring and now are stuck with soreness every day? Or was it the bathroom ceiling that you painted two months ago that hurts every time you reach for the upper cabinet? Maybe it’s that pain in the front of your shoulder that’s been pestering you ever since the push up competition at last July’s family reunion. Whatever the cause, you don’t have to live with lingering shoulder pain. You need acupuncture, the best shoulder pain treatment hands down!
A Few Facts About Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is one of the most stubborn pains in the body. It’s typically hard to treat, slow to heal and has a tendency to become nagging and chronic. That’s because the shoulder is a complex joint held together by numerous muscles, tendons and ligaments. The shoulder joint is incredibly flexible, yet vulnerable due to its inherent instability. If you’ll indulge the analogy, if the hip is a rhinoceros, the shoulder is a gazelle. Agile but fragile!
Acupuncture – The Best Shoulder Pain Treatment
Acupuncture has very good results treating shoulder pain. From a Western perspective, we identify and treat the injured muscles, tendons or ligaments. Needling into an injured muscle helps it heal faster by increasing blood circulation. If a muscle is in spasm, releasing it with a needle is the single best way to improve circulation. This allows faster, more complete healing. Needling adjacent to inflamed tendons and damaged ligaments also improves blood flow, dramatically speeding up your recovery.
From a Chinese medicine perspective, pain in the shoulder is often due to blocked channels. Pain results when qi (energy) is unable to flow properly through the channels. Acupuncture points open up the flow of qi, allowing for faster healing, better shoulder function and less pain.
The Raleigh Acupuncture Difference
We are confident that Raleigh Acupuncture can give you the best shoulder pain treatment available. That’s because our treatment incorporates BOTH Eastern and Western approaches AT THE SAME TIME. We release motor points (a technique used in physical therapy called dry needling) and open blocked channels (a Chinese medicine technique) simultaneously. We reduce inflammation (what a cortisone shot does, without the negative side effects), which reduces pain and swelling. In addition, we nourish the qi and blood of the body (a 2000 year old Chinese medicine technique), which speeds up healing. We also add points to reduce stress in patients who have high stress levels. As you know, stress aggravates all types of pain and slows healing. Reduced stress allows for better healing. Our comprehensive shoulder treatment brings the fastest, most complete healing to the shoulder.
What To Expect
When you come in for your appointment we will examine your shoulder and create a comprehensive treatment plan. The treatments are relaxing. Patients often fall asleep on the table during their sessions. Your shoulder will start healing with the very first treatment. You will be able to see and feel improvement right from the start. And the best part is that the treatments are long lasting. As opposed to pain medications, our treatments are designed to HEAL the shoulder, not just bring temporary relief.

What our Clients are Saying
Tennis player with shoulder pain. Getting worse to the point of freezing up. Went to acupuncture. Starting easing immediately. Now back to tennis full force with no shoulder pain. I recommend this practice.
After shoulder surgery following a car accident, my shoulder was always stiff and achy. PT helped, but I suffered every day from shoulder pain. I went to Raleigh Acupuncture and they really helped. I did four treatments and my shoulder pain was completely gone.
I’m a golfer and started having trouble with my left shoulder over a year ago. My doctor wanted to do surgery, but I wanted to try other alternatives first. So I tried acupuncture. The folks at Raleigh Acupuncture were very professional, reasonably priced and did excellent work. They resolved my shoulder pain completely. I use them now for other pains in my post-50 body! Thank you Raleigh Acupuncture.
