Acupuncture for neck pain is associated with a great myth about its safety. People often get goosebumps at the thought of having a needle in their neck and people are scared of needles. It is as safe as taking a neck pain medicine, but there are no side effects from the medicine. However, our licensed acupuncturist in Montreal is a certified professional to perform acupuncture for neck pain and people with bleeding disorders should be wary of acupuncture.

Before performing acupuncture for neck pain, you should be aware of some acupuncture points that can help you improve your performance in a safer way. SportMed Acupuncture for neck injury treatment in Montreal is the most convenient, but not drug, method. There are several acupressure points for neck pain that can help relieve the pain quickly. Some of them are:

• Pillar of Heaven – This point can be found in the occipital lobe. The spine is located on the side of the tendon where it meets the skull. Reduce neck pain and neck stiffness by simulating one point.
• Well of the Shoulder – You can find this point in the shoulder muscle. It is mainly present at the base of the neck and at the junction of the neck and shoulder muscles. These acupoints can help relieve neck and back pain.

• End of Bone – The next point is just above the occipital ridge. You may have noticed a slight dent behind the ear. This is the main pressure point for the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. By simulating appropriate acupressure points, you can treat severe headaches, dizziness and neck pain.
• Union Valley – This point is between the thumb and index finger in the skin-joint mass. Stimulating this point with a needle relieves tension in the neck muscles and relieves discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Stimulating this point may also help relieve stress and anxiety.
• GB 20 – You can find this point on the back of the neck. It can be easily found near the base of the skull, a small indentation. To find this point, place your hand on the back of your head. Using your thumbs, you can see that there are two dents in the neck under the skull. This point is typically 2 inches from the skull and is known to be one of the most effective locations for neck pain. This is a specific point a licensed acupuncturist in Montreal can stimulate when going to an acupuncture session.
