Introduction
Acupuncture for the cervical spine has benefits such as relieving fatigue and alleviating pain, helping to reduce and treat symptoms like neck stiffness and cervical pain. Cervical acupuncture involves inserting specialized acupuncture needles into specific acupoints and skin areas of the neck to promote blood circulation, thereby reducing fatigue. If the local area is overused for a prolonged period, it may lead to aseptic inflammation, causing pain.
Acupuncture for the cervical spine offers benefits such as relieving fatigue and alleviating pain, effectively easing and treating symptoms like neck stiffness and cervical pain.
I. Benefits
1. Relieves fatigue: Cervical acupuncture involves inserting specialized acupuncture needles into acupoints and skin in the neck area to promote blood circulation, thereby helping reduce fatigue.
2. Alleviates pain: Prolonged strain on local tissues may lead to aseptic inflammation and cause pain. Acupuncture at the cervical region can effectively relax local muscles and relieve pain.
II. Therapeutic Effects
1. Neck stiffness: Neck stiffness is often caused by blocked meridians. Cervical acupuncture helps unblock these meridians locally, thus relieving or treating stiffness.
2. Cervical pain: Stimulating specific acupoints around the cervical spine through acupuncture can effectively treat local inflammation. As inflammatory factors are carried away by the bloodstream, associated pain diminishes or disappears.
In addition to the above benefits and effects, cervical acupuncture also promotes circulation. However, due to the abundance of nerves in this area, treatment should be performed at a正规 medical facility under the guidance of a qualified physician.
