Research Insights for Shoulder Pain
Acupuncture, in its various forms, shows significant potential in alleviating pain and improving shoulder function in patients with rotator cuff disorders.
Rotator Cuff Injury Shoulder Pain
Current evidence suggests that traditional manual acupuncture integrated with rehabilitation therapy is more effective in alleviating pain, improving limb movement and activities of daily living.
Shoulder Pain Stroke Rehabilitation
Acupuncture has a clinically relevant effect on chronic pain that persists over time. Referral for acupuncture treatment is a reasonable option for chronic pain patients.
Chronic Pain Headache & Migraine Osteoarthritis
Our study provides evidence that acupuncture has a specific impact on frozen shoulder beyond the placebo effects that may not only be beneficial in reducing short-term pain perception, but may also have a positive long-term influence on the time course of recovery.
Shoulder Pain
Electroacupuncture may be more effective than manual acupuncture for managing frozen shoulder, with larger effect sizes in terms of pain, function, and response rate.
Frozen Shoulder Shoulder Pain
Acupuncture is safe and may be a cost-effective treatment for shoulder pain.
Shoulder Pain
Acupuncture appears to have positive effects in pain relief and functional recovery after rotator cuff surgery.
