Nerve pain is usually a sharp shooting pain or a constant burning sensation. Typically occurring in the same location with each episode, it can often be traced along the nerve pathway. Sometimes weakness or impaired function in the affected area occurs and the skin may be either overly sensitive or numb.

Some common neurological disorders acupuncture treats include:

Peripheral Neuropathy – damage to the peripheral nervous system, which transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to every other part of the body. Neuropathy caused by diabetes often affects the feet.

Trigeminal Neuralgia – facial pain, sometimes called Tic Douloureux, affects the trigeminal nerve which is responsible for impulses of touch, pain, pressure and temperature sent to the brain from the face, jaw, and gums.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – also known as median nerve entrapment, it occurs when swelling or irritation of the nerve or tendons in the carpal tunnel results in pressure on the median nerve.

Headaches – Headaches that can be treated with acupuncture include migraines, tension headaches, headaches occurring around the menstrual cycle, sinus headaches and stress-related headaches.

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine have been found effective as a conjunctive therapy for neurological disorders and in treating pain and inflammation. Find an acupuncturist near you to learn more about how acupuncture and Oriental medicine can be integrated into your neurological health plan!

A neurological disorder refers to a problem with the nervous system, which is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates the body’s activities. Nerve pain can arise from trauma, inflammation, stroke, disease, infection, nerve degeneration, exposure to toxic chemicals, and nutrient deficiencies.

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.
