In Traditional Chinese Medicine, neck pain is often linked to a Painful Obstruction Syndrome (Bi). It’s a bit like a traffic jam: energy (Qi) and blood no longer circulate freely because of external factors such as Wind, Cold, or Dampness.
How can TCM help you?
Acupuncture: To release local blockages and relax deep muscles. Treatment often focuses on the Bladder or Small Intestine meridians.
Tui Na: This therapeutic massage gently mobilizes the vertebrae and stimulates blood microcirculation.
Herbal Medicine: Plants to strengthen the bones and tendons (often by tonifying the Kidneys and Liver according to Chinese principles).
Heat (Moxibustion): If your pain worsens in cold weather, the heat from moxas is a real miracle for “dissolving” internal cold.
