Acupuncture For Neck & Shoulder Pain
If you live in Dallas and struggle with neck pain, acupuncture could help. In a culture in which the average person spends many hours a day sitting at a desk looking at a computer screen, it is no surprise that neck pain would be a major concern. This pain can also be the result of frequent driving, stress, or whiplash injuries. Often times a painful neck may also lead to headaches or migraines and could potentially cause tingling and numbness in the arms.
Chronic Neck Pain
Acupuncture is very effective at loosening these tight muscles, increasing blood flow to the area, and decreasing pain and inflammation. Research has repeatedly shown that acupuncture for chronic neck pain has proven just as effective, if not more, than physiotherapy. A randomized controlled study showed that 80% or participants showed significant reduction in neck pain.
Shoulder Pain
The shoulder joint is a very complex joint capable of a wide range of movement. As versatile as this area is, it can easily become unstable and prone to injury. From rotator cuff strains to tendinitis, shoulder pain can greatly interfere with activities of daily life. Acupuncture is very useful for balancing tight muscles, decreasing inflammation, increasing blood flow, and decreasing pain. A study examining the long-term affects of acupuncture on shoulder pain showed that patients receiving acupuncture had significantly less pain than the control group.
Success Stories: Shoulder Injury
“I have known Ellee Carlson for almost a year now and she is a wonderful person and puts forth so much effort and time into her business and all of her patients that she sees. The acupuncture that I have received from Ellee has helped me recover from an ongoing shoulder injury as well as a back injury.”

Is Acupuncture Right For You?
For more than 4000 years, acupuncture has proven effective in treating the symptoms and addressing the root cause for many problems.
From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating parts of the brain to release natural biomolecules such as neurotransmitters, vasodilators and hormones. Scientific research shows that these biomolecules trigger the immune system and pain regulating mechanisms resulting in a broad spectrum of systemic effects. Studies done through Neuroimaging, Thermal Imaging, and Ultrasound prove the effects of acupuncture are beneficial.
