Acupuncture is effective at addressing neck pain

While painkilling injections quite often achieve their goal of reducing pain and helping people live a more normal life, there is every chance that the pain will come back and the necessity for injections will continue. Acupuncture seeks to encourage the body’s intrinsic healing response and addresses pain in the following ways: 

• Stimulates nervous system response in muscles and connective tissues.
• Releases painkilling endorphins and alters the processing of pain in the brain
• Reduces inflammation
• Releases muscles from stiffness and improves spinal joint mobility 
• Increases local circulation to provide nutrients and oxygen to the injurious region.
