Acupuncture is a useful treatment for shoulder pain. It is anti pharmaceutical drugs and anti surgery.

The human body has over 2000 acupuncture points. Thousands of years ago, the Chinese mapped these points which have now been confirmed by electromagnetic research. The acupuncture points or meridians are also linked to nerve pathways.

When the needles activate the point, the human body releases endorphins, the pain-relieving hormone. The endorphins offer immediate and long term relief from the pain, and you can often feel instant relief. You will often experience reduced inflammation, improved range of motion in the joints, and reduce tightness in muscles.
