Does acupuncture work for chronic muscle tightness around the shoulders and traps?
Absolutely! Acupuncture, along with some other traditional Chinese medicine therapies, can be very therapeutic for muscular problems. Your therapist's treatment goal most likely will be to increase circulation by moving Blood and Qi (energy). They might use traditional acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, Tui Na (a form of Chinese massage), cupping (suction), Guasha (more of a Chinese folk remedy) and/or some externally applied Chinese herbal liniments. |
