First of all,I’m glad you took a chance and decided to view this article.Although it is getting to be more and more mainstream these days,I realize that acupuncture is still quite ‘out there’ for many folks. Perhaps your frozen shoulder pain has become so bad that you are getting out of your comfort zone,which has brought you here. Regardless of the reason,again,I’m glad your reading,it could very well change your life…and help alleviate your pain!
 Before diving into the meat of the article,let me assuage your potential doubts and fears. First of all,I have personally seen my mother benefit tremendously from acupuncture treatments for her frozen shoulder pain. So there you have practical first hand knowledge from yours truly.Second of all,if the word ‘energy’ or ‘chi’ doesn’t sit well with you,that’s fine. We are all talking about the same thing whether we call it that,or for those of you that are more judeo christian oriented,it’s the same thing as the Breath of Life that God breathed into all of us upon Creation. So with that out of the way,lets get to it!

 Acupuncture dates back many thousands of years in Chinese culture.It works with what are termed energy meridians that run throughout the human body.Inserting extremely fine needles into specific points can either stimulate or tone down the energy running along the meridians,depending on the need.This has the effect of tonifying the bodies energy system and ‘unsticking’ any energetic blocks one may have.These blocks can and do cause pain,including frozen shoulder pain.

 Aside from clearing energetic blockages,there is another,perhaps more practical way,that acupuncture can help alleviate pain. A skilled practicioner can stimulate certain areas of the body which can cause the release of endorphins,the bodies natural painkiller chemicals. Couple this with the ability to also stimulate and release the bodies natural relaxation chemical messengers and you have a really good combo for feeling better!
