Neck Pain Relief
with Navel Acupuncture
Once the exact pain location and underlying cause are identified, navel acupuncture can often provide rapid relief and may even “shut down” neck pain quickly.
🌿Does your headache look like this?
You CAN benefit from James Navel Acupuncture if you have one or more of the following:
✓ Acute Neck Stiffness / Sleep-Related Neck Pain
Difficulty turning the neck after waking up, with stiffness and pain. Often acute in onset and associated with significant muscle tightness.
✓ Posture- or Work-Related Neck Discomfort
Neck pain, tension, or stiffness resulting from prolonged screen use, desk work, or repetitive movements.
✓ Structural or Degenerative Neck Pain
Pain or stiffness related to cervical alignment issues or degenerative changes, sometimes accompanied by limited movement or radiating discomfort.
✓Stress- or Emotion-Related Neck Tension
Neck tightness, soreness, or discomfort associated with chronic stress, anxiety, or emotional strain.
✓ Injury-Related Neck Pain
Neck pain caused by motor vehicle accidents (such as whiplash), sports injuries, or falls, often with restricted movement.
✓ Other Neck Pain
General neck pain presenting as soreness, pressure, tightness, stiffness, discomfort, or limited range of motion in any area of the neck.
🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Headache?
Neck pain is often related to functional imbalance rather than a single local problem in the neck itself.
Navel acupuncture works through the Shenque (navel) area to regulate the body as a whole, including circulation, muscle tension, and nervous system function.
Once the exact pain location and underlying cause are identified, treatment can quickly release tension and restore balance.
In most cases, neck pain responds rapidly and may ease noticeably during the same treatment session.
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Many patients experience clear improvement during the first session.
For acute neck pain, such as sleep-related stiffness or recent strain, 1–3 treatments are often sufficient.
Chronic, recurrent, or injury-related neck pain may require several sessions for stable and lasting improvement.
Treatment frequency and duration are adjusted individually based on response and condition severity.
🌿 Treatment Notes
Before Treatment
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment.
If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, injuries, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain, soreness, or a pulling sensation during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment. Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension during the session.
After Treatment
Rest after treatment. Drinking warm water may help support circulation and overall regulation.
Avoid excessive physical exertion, and keep the neck and body warm, protecting against cold or wind exposure.
Many patients experience noticeable improvement during the same treatment session.
In some cases, especially with chronic or deeper conditions, temporary responses such as symptom fluctuation, mild fatigue, skin itching, or digestive changes may occur after returning home.
These are considered normal regulatory responses. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
