Relieve Your Neck Pain with TCM
Are you suffering from sudden or chronic
Neck Pain?
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that many people in Singapore experience. Whether it’s due to poor posture, stress, injury, or the natural effects of aging, it can have a significant impact on your quality of life.
What causes Neck Pain?
There are many causes of pain, soreness, stiffness or limited mobility in your neck. Some are more serious such as fractures, infections or tumors which require medical intervention.
However, the majority of neck pain is caused by muscle or joint dysfunctions that can be treated without medicine or surgery.
Neck pain can arise from:
-
Poor posture when using digital devices
-
Desk bound work
-
Exercise
-
Awkward sleeping position
-
Stress
-
Accidents / falls
-
Aging
Symptoms include:
-
Sharp or dull pain in your neck, shoulders and upper back
-
Limited range of motion
-
Headaches / Dizziness
-
Shooting pain / numbness in your arms
Common conditions:
-
Muscular strain / injury
-
Muscular tightness / overuse
-
Nerve impingement
-
Osteoarthritis
The above conditions are usually not dangerous, but they can cause significant distress, making it difficult to move, work and enjoy the activities you love. If left untreated, neck pain may get worse over time leading to more serious problems down the road.
Do I need to see a medical doctor?
For many cases of neck pain, an experienced TCM physician will be able to provide a clinical diagnosis based on your symptoms, clinical history and physical examination.
Where initial treatments have not been effective, you can then consider doing more detailed tests like an X-Ray, CT scan or MRI to help identify any underlying problems.
It is strongly advised to visit a medical doctor if you have any of the "red flag" symptoms below accompanying your neck pain:
-
sudden or unexplained weight loss
-
prolonged fever
-
persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest
-
pain that wakes you up in the middle of the night
-
serious falls / accidents
-
severe pain / numbness / weakness in the arms
-
difficulty walking or balancing
Why choose Traditional Chinese Medicine for
Neck Pain?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been a trusted system of healing for over 2,000 years. It offers a safe, natural and effective approach to treat not just the symptoms, but also the root cause of your pain. Here’s how our therapies work:
1. Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates specific points along your body’s meridians to improve the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, helping to reduce pain and inflammation.
2. Tuina
Tuina is a hands-on bodywork therapy that targets muscle and soft tissue. By applying pressure and specific techniques, tuina helps to relax tight muscles, realign joints and promote circulation to speed up recovery.
3. Cupping
Cupping can help relieve muscle stiffness and improve blood circulation. By creating suction on the skin, it draws fresh blood to the area and releases built-up toxins, aiding in the healing process and reducing pain.
4. Herbal Medicine
TCM herbal remedies are customized to your specific condition. Our formulations aim to nourish your body, improve circulation and support the healing process from the inside out.
