Research on the effectiveness of acupuncture for shoulder pain has produced mixed results. Some studies suggest that acupuncture can provide relief for certain types of shoulder pain, such as rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulders, or osteoarthritis. acupuncture may help by reducing inflammation, increasing blood circulation, and triggering the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers.
If you are considering acupuncture for shoulder pain, it is crucial to consult with a qualified and licensed acupuncturist
Take care of yourself!
