Acupuncture offers effective relief for neck pain by reducing muscle spasms and inflammation, both locally and throughout the body. Moreover, it triggers the release of natural 'feel-good' hormones such as serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin, providing natural pain relief.

If the pain is coming from the muscles around the neck acupuncture can help you in just a few treatments. If it something more complicated like an herniated disc or nerve damage it will take longer and will also require attention from other specialists/adjacent techniques like chiropractic, physiotherapy, orthopedics or neurology.

Each case is different and, an experienced acupuncturist will lead you to seek the best treatment for you. Please, set an appointment to evaluate your needs.

Acupuncture happens to be GREAT for treating neck pain! Just yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get a treatment for my own neck pain. Generally, it is necessary to do more than one treatment, depending on how severe your pain is, especially in the beginning of treatment. Think about how physical therapy works by completing regular sessions. Acupuncture works best that way, but definitely book a treatment today!

**Michelle Grasek** Acupuncturist Seneca Falls, NY · Accepted Answer

Hello. Yes, acupuncture is often very helpful for different kinds of neck pain. It helps to release trigger points, improve blood flow, modulate the way the brain interprets pain, and impacts the central nervous system, allowing for the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine which can help reduce sensitivity to pain. Acupuncture is cumulative which means the effects build over time. The typical treatment recommendation for neck pain is one treatment per week for eight weeks, then we try to space treatments out and see if you can go 2, 3, and 4 weeks between treatments while still feeling good. Depending on the cause and severity of the neck pain, some patients may choose to do regular maintenance treatments to keep the pain at bay. I hope this is helpful.

Yes. But with all complaints, one would need to be evaluated in order to conclusively answer this question. But general neck/shoulder pain from prolong desk work can be assisted with needling in conjunction with moxibustion.
