I seem to get more patients with neck and shoulder problems than any other complaint. I find that often these pains are related to sitting in front of a computer each day or driving. Modern furniture encourages a head forward posture that puts a lot of strain on our necks.
Whiplash is another common cause of neck pain, a condition I am sadly familiar with myself, and one which is sadly all too common with my patients. People need to drive more carefully!
I find acupuncture is effective for neck pain and the research backs this up; follow the link below:
