Chronic Neck & Shoulder Pain + 17-years of constipation

Root Cause: Scoliosis

This patient had severe, constant, chronic neck and shoulder pain with palpable cervical protrusion. The pain often led to tension headaches. Additionally, she had an inconclusive diagnosis of chronic constipation for 17 years. This was resolved once her protruding and upward-pulled left rib cage was softened and flattened through acupuncture treatments. Her spinal deviation was also corrected.  See the image on the left.

Shoulder Joint Pain

Root Cause: Winged Scapula

This patient suffered from chronic, restricted shoulder joint mobility with pain. She was a very dedicated patient to PT, Body Works Therapy, and chiropractic care simultaneously, but she showed no further improvements for years.  She could not swim, which was her favorite activity.  Her winged scapula was corrected, and her shoulder ROM was restored after acupuncture sessions.

Elbow Pain

Cause: Postural & Muscular Imbalances

This patient suffered from 20+ years of chronic neck & shoulder pain, followed by severe elbow pain. She was dedicated to her routine physical therapy exercises. She had tried chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, and kinesio taping to no avail.  She was advised to disengage her right arm from daily activities, including typing, to avoid further aggravation. 

The patient is now pain-free following treatment.

The root cause stems from postural and muscular imbalances at the center line, scapula, neck, and shoulder.

Knee & Foot Pain
with Chronic Leg Cramps

Cause: Muscle Tension & Imbalances

This patient had chronic knee, ankle & foot pain with leg cramps. She received her cortisone shots routinely every 6 months for 2 years; however, she was not pain-free. Her X-ray showed a healthy knee joint. After her 1st acupuncture treatment, her knee showed a 70% reduction in pain. After a few more sessions, her left leg was more aligned. Her left foot pronation improved significantly, which alleviated her pain in the dorsal foot and ankle.
