S
houlder pain is a common complaint in the acupuncture clinic.
Sub Acromial Impingement Syndrome (SAPS), whether from
rotator cuff tendinopathy or bursitis responds well to acupuncture
treatment that addresses the anatomically significant tissues.
Diagnosis can be made quickly in the clinic with a combination of
orthopaedic tests. Surgery is not recommended for these cases,
patients are most often prescribed NSAIDS, corrective exercises
and corticosteroid injections. Acupuncture offers a safe and
effective treatment option for assessment and acupuncture
treatment will be demonstrated.
