I had someone in clinic today for her 2nd treatment with a painful and severely stiff shoulder. Most likely Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) from a western science perspective.
She had some great improvement, which has given her confidence to persevere with regular treatment. Like most treatments for frozen shoulder it is not a quick fix, but may help with the symptoms.
Acupuncture is an effective, evidence-based therapy for reducing pain and improving range of motion in patients with frozen shoulder (Eyal, B et al 2020).
Acupuncture can be a complimentary therapy for chronic pain, such as back, neck and knee pain as well as tension headaches.
If you are curious about having acupuncture, but want to know more don't hesitate to contact me.
