🌿 How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Shoulder Pain?
Because the treatment logic of Traditional Chinese Medicine is different from that of Western medicine,
Navel Acupuncture does not chase shoulder pain locally.
Instead, it restores whole-body regulation, allowing shoulder pain to ease naturally and sustainably.
In clinical practice, shoulder pain is addressed based on functional patterns, not just structure or diagnosis.
Once the exact pain location and underlying cause are identified, Navel Acupuncture often brings rapid relief — and in many cases, the pain can be “shut down” very quickly.
Through this whole-body regulatory approach, Navel Acupuncture helps to:
Regulate Qi and blood
Release tension and improve circulation
Restore coordinated movement
Support fast and stable pain relief
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Many patients notice clear improvement during the first treatment session.
For acute shoulder pain, recent strain, or tension-related discomfort, 1–3 treatments are often sufficient.
Chronic, long-standing, or injury-related shoulder 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 studies, injuries, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain or soreness during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe treatment—please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.
After Treatment
Adequate rest is recommended. Drinking warm water may support circulation and regulation.
Avoid excessive exertion, and keep the body warm, protecting against cold or wind.
Many patients experience noticeable improvement during the same treatment session.
In some cases—especially with chronic or deeper conditions—temporary symptom fluctuation, skin itching or rashes, or digestive changes may occur after returning home, usually the following day or later.
These responses are part of the body’s adjustment process. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
