Neck pain can make daily activities uncomfortable, from turning your head to sitting at a desk. Our approach to TCM for neck pain focuses on identifying the causes and supporting relief through a range of therapies.
Neck pain may be caused by prolonged screen use, poor posture, sudden movements, or carrying heavy loads. It can also arise from age-related changes in the cervical spine or long-term muscle strain.
Persistent stiffness, recurring tension, or pain that limits mobility may be signs that professional care is needed. Discomfort spreading to the shoulders or arms can also indicate the need for attention.
Stiff neck TCM treatments are often sought when the muscles tighten suddenly, typically due to awkward sleeping positions, prolonged periods at a desk, or sudden movement. TCM for stiff neck can help release tension and restore flexibility.
Long-term neck pain may be associated with repetitive strain, posture-related stress, or underlying spinal issues. Treatment plans focus on easing discomfort and supporting mobility over time.
Sudden strain from lifting, exercise, or impact can result in immediate pain and limited movement. Therapies aim to reduce tension and encourage recovery.
Stress and fatigue often lead to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders. Addressing both physical and lifestyle aspects helps reduce recurrence.
Each case begins with a consultation, during which lifestyle habits, work conditions, and health history are considered to identify potential causes.
Fine needles are placed at specific points to support circulation and ease muscle tension, with mild electrical stimulation added as needed.
These therapies utilise massage and tools to manually release muscle knots, reduce stiffness, and enhance flexibility.
Herbal prescriptions and warming therapies such as moxibustion may be used to reduce discomfort and improve energy flow in affected areas.

Yes, TCM for neck pain utilises non-invasive methods, including acupuncture, tuina, and herbal support, which are considered safe when performed by qualified physicians.
The number of sessions depends on factors such as the severity, duration, and underlying cause of your neck pain. Your physician will outline a plan after consultation.
Yes. The neck and shoulder share closely linked muscles and movement patterns, so tension in one area can influence the other. Stiffness in the neck may lead to compensatory strain around the shoulder, especially with posture habits or repetitive upper-body movements. Explore TCM shoulder pain treatments for further insights.
The spine functions as a connected system, so tension in one region can influence nearby areas. When the neck becomes strained, surrounding muscles may overcompensate, leading to discomfort that extends into the upper or lower back. Posture habits, prolonged sitting, and repetitive movements may further contribute to this pattern. Consider lower back pain TCM consultations if you’re experiencing back-related concerns.
Yes. In TCM, the neck, shoulder, arm, and wrist are connected through pathways that can reflect tension or stagnation along the same channel. When the neck becomes stiff or strained, it may influence the flow along these pathways. This potentially leads to sensations that extend down the arm or reach the wrist. If the discomfort continues, TCM wrist pain support may be required.
From a TCM perspective, the body functions as an interconnected system. When the neck experiences poor alignment or qi imbalance, it may influence posture, movement patterns, and overall stability. Over time, this can place additional strain on the knees and other areas, necessitating TCM support for knee pain and body discomfort.
Yes. When the neck is tense, it can affect posture and overall body alignment. This may subtly influence balance and the way weight is distributed during movement. Over time, these shifts can make the ankles more vulnerable during sudden steps or uneven surfaces, increasing the chance of minor injuries such as sprains. If the problem persists, TCM care for the prevention of a sprained ankle may be helpful.
Not necessarily. TCM may complement conventional medical care. Inform your physician about other treatments you are undergoing so your care can be coordinated safely.
