A case of shoulders pain, arms numbness and headache was treated by acupuncture
By Dr Win Huang
Ms Parker 35 yrs old, she has shoulders pain for several months. The shoulders pain on right side is worse than on left side. she went to see her doctor who suggested her to take anti-inflammation pills, but still pain on shoulder. Gradually she feels numbness on both arms, specially when she wake up in the morning . she went see specialist who thinks that she suffered from bursitis 滑囊炎,so suggested her to do operation for shoulders pain. She did want to do operation, so come to see me to try acupuncture. apart from shoulders pain ,she feels throat dry, fatigue, bad sleeping, headache and low energy.
I gave her examination, found that pressing pain and muscle spasm around right shoulder blade and on shoulder blade 肩胛骨, specially the muscle on shoulder blade. So I think that her symptom, such as shoulder pain, arm numbness due to muscle spasm on shoulder blade and throat dry, fatigue, low energy, bad sleeping, headache due to the muscle spasm around shoulder blade. So lose the muscle spasm on up back and shoulder, then the symptom will be gone. The bursitis which specialist gave her may an incorrect diagnosis诊断
She felt much better after two sessions, sleeping is good, no headache, pain on shoulders relieving lots. She felt very well, after six sessions, no throat dry, no fatigue, more energy , no numbness on both arms, little pain on shoulder, and more pain on shoulder after hard exercise or heavy lifting . she felt very well, after 14 sessions acupuncture, no numbness on arms, no headache, no fatigue, more energy, sleeping very well, only little bite pain on right shoulder after hard exercise.
We can know in the clinic that some patients feel tired, fatigue, low energy, headache, bad sleeping, arm numbness, shoulder pain, the reason is the muscle spasm around shoulder blade and on shoulder blade. It is good effect to be treated by acupuncture for these patients.

Hello
My name is marry, I am 46 years old, female and have had recurring neck and shoulder pain for years. At the end of 2010 I was walking home from work and had a fall and hurt my shoulder, I wrenched my neck as well. I went to physio but it hasn’t helped me. I was considering an Osteopath but when I googled about neck pain your clinics details came up.
I am a bit nervous about people touching my neck as the ball at the top of my spine is very sore when I gently massage it, several areas around my shoulder blades hurt, my skull is sore in places and the base of my skull is very sore to touch. I get headaches often and was given anti inflammatory for pain by doctor. I am worse when lying down and when turning my neck it is sore (worse turning to right). I sometimes get a strange feeling in my face, like a hair brushing on the skin.
Lately I’ve been getting numbness in my arms when sleeping and when driving with right hand on steering wheel I get pain in my right shoulder.
I haven’t had the energy to exercise so have put on weight, my husband says I’ve been snoring as well. Would acupuncture help me and is it safe?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
marry
