Absolutely! There are actually over 15 acupuncture points located on the neck, front and back plus more motor points, trigger points and a'shi points. Acupuncturists have years of training plus qualifying licensing exams in order to practice acupuncture (depending on your location) which means they are very well trained in anatomy and physiology as well as chinese medicine. Needling the neck is safe when performed by a trained professional.

Yes, but...acupuncture does not always have to be done in the local area in order to get results. I often treat neck issues elsewhere on the body and patients still get the pain relief they're seeking. Just because you have pain in a particular location does not necessarily mean needles must go there.
