Why Do We Get A Stiff Neck?
A stiff neck is commonly caused by a neck muscle strain or soft tissue sprain. It is described
as a soreness and in difficulty moving the neck. Sometimes, a stiff neck can be accompanied
by headache, shoulder pain, neck pain and/or arm pain.
Some of the most common activities
that can cause stiff necks includes sleeping with the neck in an awkward position. Sport injuries
are also common causes for athletes. A bad fall or sudden impact that forcefully pushes the head
to the side is a popular cause among adults. Additionally, turning the head side to side repeatedly
during an activity such as swimming as well as slouching with poor posture for prolonged periods
can lead to neck tension.
Moreover, studies are now acknowledging excessive stress or anxiety
as cause for a variety of physical discomforts. When you cradle your phone at one side of the
head and putting the neck in an abnormal position for a long period of time can also cause stiff neck.

What Causes Needle Shock in Acupuncture?
Needle shock in acupuncture rarely happens but it does. Practitioners described it as a
feeling of faintness, chilliness and slight nausea. According to health experts, needle shock
most likely to happen in patients who are nervous about needles.
Meanwhile exhaustion and fatigue can also be contributing factors. Most of the time, needle
shock occurs when a patient has low blood sugar prior to an acupuncture treatment. You see,
one of the health benefits of acupuncture is to lower sugar levels in the body. When a patient
has not eaten before a treatment, there is a higher chance that a patient may experiencing
needle shock.
While needle shock can be uncomfortable, it is not considered harmful. This is why you need
to talk to a licensed acupuncturist to provide you with information with possible side-effects.
This includes how to avoid needle in acupuncture treatment.
