Cervical pain treatment
Cervical pain or neck pain is mainly caused by sustained contracture of the neck muscles, with stress and incorrect posture being the main triggers. Acupuncture is the most effective treatment.
It is common to have acute episodes of pain followed by seasons of slight discomfort.
The underlying problem is the state of the posterior muscles of the neck, the trapezius being the most affected muscle, followed by the supraspinatus.
The pain can often radiate through the side of the head until it reaches the temple and causes a headache.
Cervical pain or neck pain of myofascial origin is easily solved by inserting acupuncture needles into the trigger points of the affected muscles, together with postural rehabilitation and mobilization exercises for the neck muscles.

What is myofascial pain and how is it treated?
The activation of a trigger point is usually associated with muscle overload due to mechanical abuse. When a muscle trigger point is activated, the pain intensifies as its muscle fibers contract to generate movement and this pain often occurs far from the affected muscle area.
