Review of acupuncture treatment for neck and shoulder stiffness

Recently, my shoulders and neck have been stiff and sore, feeling like I have a muscle spasm, so I visited to receive acupuncture treatment for the symptoms.

Normally, I would have just let it slide.

Once, I felt pain when moving my neck while sleeping, so I made an appointment and went to see a doctor!

It's close to the station, and if you go up just a little to the second floor like this, you'll find it.

It was my first time here, but since my symptoms improved after receiving acupuncture treatment for phlegm at another Korean medicine clinic previously, I came back for a consultation and treatment this time.

Since my job involves using a mouse a lot and looking at a monitor frequently, the right side of my neck and shoulder is always stiff, and perhaps due to chronic fatigue, there was always a specific spot that was painful and hard.

While bad posture is certainly a problem, I found that I couldn't completely eliminate these habits and their causes.

During the consultation, the doctor pinpointed this issue precisely and explained it in detail. I experienced severe pain when pressing near my right shoulder while lying down, and they told me that my scapula was dislocated. They also mentioned that my pelvis was misaligned, noting that my right leg did not rotate as smoothly as my left when I tried turning it.

Even when I tried turning my head left and right, it felt harder to turn to the right!

They even asked if I had a cold, saying that if your immune system is weakened, shoulder pain can worsen as well.

I only had a rough idea of the cause, but after examining the symptoms, I realized that acupuncture treatment for the phlegm symptoms was necessary.

The acupuncture treatment package for muscle stiffness that I underwent consisted of cupping, physical therapy, and acupuncture.

1️⃣ You mentioned that fire cupping is effective in improving blood circulation and digestive function.

They proceeded while asking if the intensity of the moxibustion cupping was okay.

It feels about the same as a warm compress, and it hurts a little more when it pulls off than when it tightens.

2️⃣ Likewise, physical therapy,

Especially focusing on the painful neck and shoulder areas

I received the massage with the intensity adjusted. It felt like it really loosened up my tight muscles, so I felt incredibly refreshed.

3️⃣ Lastly, I received both regular acupuncture and herbal acupuncture. Since my chronic shoulder stiffness and rigidity were severe, I was advised that it would be best to receive the herbal acupuncture at intensity level 3.

You said that even if it feels a bit stiff on the first day, I would definitely see results starting the next. At first, it felt numb and slightly swollen, but I can feel the acupuncture working as time goes on. It feels more comfortable when I turn my head, and it feels much softer to the touch.

I recommend acupuncture treatment for muscle stiffness at our Korean medicine clinic for those with severe shoulder stiffness who sit for long periods at work!

And the physical therapist here is really kind~ Even while I was waiting for a short while, they kept asking if the cushion was warm and checking to see if I was comfortable.

After it was all over, they told me that the medicinal herbs suited my constitution and gave them to me to drink like a beverage.

This Korean medicine clinic is open year-round, so if you book through Naver, you can see a doctor immediately without a long wait. With a variety of time slots available, it is also convenient for you to schedule acupuncture treatment for phlegm symptoms at a time that suits you!
