Acupuncture for Neck Pain - jacksonvilleacupuncture.com

1. Acupuncture for Neck Pain There are quite a few conditions that can lead to neck pain. For most people, they are related to the muscles. When the muscles create discomfort, they can be very easily corrected, often only taking one or two treatments. I do not believe anyone needs to have 30 separate sessions of “adjustment” for “out-of-alignment” of their neck. In my experience, a muscular type of neck pain simply takes one or two treatments to correct. Below is a list of signs and symptoms that may correspond to neck pain. Rate how severe your neck pain is using a self-assessment based on the symptoms listed. If you have any of these symptoms, you can consider making an appointment with your doctor. History of degenerative changes of your cervical vertebrae or intervertebral disc. Prior or recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Recent trauma (i.e. Automobile accident, whip-lash, sprain, slips, falls, etc.) Pain radiating to one side of your ear or eye – most likely signifies a condition called Lesser Occipital Neuralgia. Pain radiating to your upper shoulder, deltoid muscle, upper arm, forearm, or hands – most likely signifies a more serious condition called Cervical Syndrome (this means that the degenerative change has affected the cervical spinal nerve from C4 down). Pain in the upper top area of the neck, without affecting the shoulder, arm, or hand – in this case, you are most likely to have a higher level degenerative change in the C2, C3 segments.

2. Here are some of the signs and symptoms that usually indicate that the pain is likely due to nerve impairment: Coldness or pallor in the affected area, numbness, tingling sensation, loss of body hair, areas of localized skin seems to be thinner than usual, and loss of muscle mass in the affected area.
