How does acupuncture help with Neck and Shoulder Pain?
How does acupuncture help with Neck and Shoulder Pain?
Due to the nature of our jobs in offices and being in front of computers for an extended period, or diseases such as Cervical spondylosis (degenerative disease affecting the spinal discs) neck pain is a very common complaint from my patients. Acupuncture treatment for neck pain is very well recognized and nowadays often recommended by many physicians and specialists as the initial therapeutic method to alleviate the stiffness and discomfort.
Inserting an acupuncture needle causes a reduction of inflammation, an increase in blood circulation, and release of neurochemicals, such as dopamine and serotonin. Acupuncture is believed to stimulate biochemical changes both locally (where the needles are placed) and in the central nervous system. This can relieve pain in the neck and promote relaxation.
During an acupuncture treatment for neck pain at Bern Akupunktur, determination of which points needing stimulation is based on your symptoms and health history. Even when symptoms of pain and stiffness are only in the neck area, I may place needles in other areas of the body in addition to the neck. Depending on treatment method, you might be asked to lie on the stomach, back, or sit in a comfortable position.
Depending on your specific case, acupuncture treatments for neck pain may be scheduled a couple of times per week for the first 2 or 3 weeks, and then once a week as the pain diminishes and your condition stabilizes.
The positive effects of the treatment accumulate in the first couple of days and the expected therapeutic benefits of acupuncture usually last about a week. My general expectation for acupuncture for neck pain is that you will feel relief after the first session, and the pain and discomfort may completely disappear after several treatments, depending on its severity and chronicity.

About me
In 2009 I graduated with a Dr. TCM degree from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, Canada. Here in Switzerland, I am a federally certified TCM naturopath.
My journey into the world of TCM and acupuncture began in my teens. As someone who has always played competitive sports – especially soccer – it was always my desire to reduce the recovery time and overall pain of those around me. This led me to realize that in addition to treating specific, physical injuries, there must also be a holistic approach to health and wellness.
In search of a purposeful ways to help people achieve their health goals, acupuncture presented itself. I have been practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine since 2009, and at Bern Acupuncture I care for people with sports injuries, sciatica pain, migraines, premenstrual symptoms, menopausal symptoms, burnout, anxiety, and insomnia.
I believe in educating my patients. I believe that if they have the knowledge in their hands, they can further the healing process and thus become more in tune with their bodies.

I am passionate about providing professional and quality acupuncture treatments to reduce and eliminate pain. My goal is to support and encourage my patients on their journey to recovery and optimal health with the best possible treatment. At Bern Akupunktur, I use a number of different acupuncture treatment methods to address individual needs and health requirements.
