A common complaint at our San Francisco chiropractic clinic is
“I have severe neck pain after sleeping weird”.
More often than not, the symptoms felt are ongoing but this one episode is worse than most. Some patients experience neck and shoulder pain after sleeping wrong and others notice tension headaches.
You may know that acupuncture is an excellent holistic medicine for natural pain relief. Many patients initially come for neck, shoulder or back pain but also experience relief of anxiety, stress, and depression. It seems miraculous that just a few needles can have such a positive impact on so many aspects of health. This is because acupuncture for brain health has been scientifically proven.

An estimated 7.8% of all Americans will experience PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) in their lifetime, with women (10.4%) twice as likely as men (5%) to develop PTSD.
Individuals who develop PTSD are prone to nightmares and flashbacks, feelings of detachment, and difficulty sleeping. Given this fact, these negative symptoms can be severe enough to significantly impact a person’s ability to interact in their day to day life.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has quickly become one of the most common behavioral conditions among children and young adults.

Stress is one of the most common detriments to a healthy mind. When under the duress of stress, we often experience confusion, poor memory, lack of focus, and clouded thinking.
According to Chinese medicinal lore, Shen, our mind, embodies our consciousness, emotions, and thoughts. This influence extends to the ability to think clearly and presides over other activities that involve mental and creative functions.
Healthy Shen demarcates a healthy mind and mental focus, and vice-versa.

Dry needling for shoulder pain might be a fantastic treatment methodology, yet you may need to do some investigative work to find out what is causing the shoulder pain in any case.
There are numerous reasons for shoulder pain. This may feel overwhelming for you as you attempt to make sense of what the root cause is. However, one of the most widely recognized reasons for movement-related shoulder pain is an imbalance of the muscles surrounding the humerus. This is “functional shoulder pain.” The pain is because of improper use of the shoulder.
