Shoulder pain, frozen shoulder and range of motion issues within the shoulder joint are commonly seen at the Acupuncture by Andrea clinic. The shoulder is an area that tends to be compromised over time due to lack of blood flow, wear and tear on connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons, and daily use for many years leading to inflammation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, inflammation is considered to be stagnation not only in the area immediately affected, but also in related organ systems. For shoulder pain and inflammation, I apply the suction therapy known as cupping. Never tried cupping? Learn more about this ancient technique and how it can relieve pain in my latest blog article.

When someone first hears about acupuncture or has been recommended acupuncture, some of the first questions they ask are: Does it hurt? How long until I see results? Are there any side effects? A great resource in answering these questions is this list of first time FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) from the College of TCM Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a wonderfully succinct list and at the same time answers all of these questions fully and with helpful information.
Are you a first-time patient? Interested in learning more about acupuncture? You might simply wonder how many treatments might be required to relieve your pain and symptoms. Contact me via my website or send me an email with any questions you may have about your upcoming visit or how to enhance your treatment.

For the Christmas holiday I traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit my sister. It was beautiful! And cold!
The landscape and local architecture is light brown and tan, and may seem a bit boring at first, but when you let it do its thing, it is a perfect match for the gorgeous blue sky, a partnership in beauty. The quiet, the serene, the softness of the adobe structures; they all have their strengths and in supporting the vivid light, become the foundation that makes this physical world so wonderful.
I had a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday, and I can’t wait for my next visit to the Southwest!
Until that next trip, my office hours will be Monday through Saturday, 9:30 am to 6 pm.
