I am amazed at how many of us (me included) have issues with neck and shoulder pain. The reason I titled this article “the Pain in the Neck,” is because it points to the body/mind/spirit conversation that eastern medicine always addresses.
… But, Your Acupuncturist Can Warm You Up
Yes… its true. Chinese medicine has A LOT of ‘tricks up its sleeve’ when it comes to warming you up.
Let’s talk about the winter season first.
It’s finally Spring… the realm of the Wood element according to Chinese Medicine. As you recall, the Chinese 5-elements incorporate the seasons (the extra being Late Summer/ Earth; I’ll address the Earth element more thoroughly later this summer).
I am often asked this question when a conversation comes up about stomach disorders and acupuncture. ‘‘CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP ME TO STOP NEEDING ANTACIDS ALL THE TIME?” or “WHAT ABOUT MY HEARTBURN?”
‘Cancer’, probably the gravest and most frightening feedback anyone will ever receive from their physician. I know of no woman who doesn’t carry a quiet fear of the possibility of dealing with breast cancer… myself included. Cancer… of whatever type is growing in frequency according to statistics
Here it is again. Flu season. Sneezy, headachy, sinusy flu season. The cold weather, especially when combined with dampness, sets the stage. The lifestyle of most Americans finishes the job.

Kevin called me last summer asking is acupuncture could help him with his neck pain. He described himself as having ‘mild cerebral palsy’ secondary to birth injury.

He is married and very content with life.
And they walk in, eyes puffy, face slightly swollen, speaking in tones that sound like they’re holding their breath as they ask, “Can you help me with my allergies?” This is the worst of Spring–the runny nose, the congested sinuses, the frontal headaches, the teary eyes–absolute misery.
In it blows. The March winds are calling us to awaken from winter’s slumber. Winter’s slumber… well, that would be the ideal. If we could only hibernate like nature calls upon us to do. But our industrialized culture does not really know what if means to rest.
