Targeted, whole-body treatment for injury, instability, or referred pain.
Whether your shoulder pain stems from old injuries, repetitive strain (like from swimming, lifting, or work), or something as subtle as poor posture, it affects more than just your shoulder. In fact, many shoulder issues don’t originate in the joint at all. Pain can be referred from surrounding muscles—like the supraspinatus, a rotator cuff muscle known for sending aching sensations down the outer arm.
At The Acupuncture Turning Point, we assess whether your pain is coming from the joint itself, the ligaments, or the complex web of surrounding muscles that stabilize and control it. Our treatments combine electro-acupuncture and advanced infrared (cold) laser therapy to reduce inflammation, relax strained muscle patterns, and restore smoother, more coordinated movement.
We don’t just aim to ease your symptoms. We help your body remember how to move well again.
More Than Just the Shoulder
The shoulder is a marvel of mobility—but also one of the most vulnerable joints in the body. It’s held in place more by muscles than bones, making it highly dependent on proper coordination across the entire shoulder girdle. That means front muscles (like the pectorals) and back stabilizers (like the rhomboids, trapezius, and rotator cuff group) all need attention.
And don’t let the name fool you—the rotator cuff isn’t a literal cuff. It’s a collection of four small but essential muscles that help guide and stabilize the shoulder through movement. When they’re strained, weak, or misfiring, pain and dysfunction often follow.
Our job is not only to relieve your pain but to help reset the way these muscles communicate and function—so your movement becomes smoother, more confident, and less prone to flare-ups. And that includes examining habits, posture, and repetitive patterns that may have led to the problem in the first place.
We teach you to move better, not just feel better.
You are with yourself 24/7. You’re the only one who truly knows when to rest and when to push.
Our job is to help you learn that rhythm—so healing becomes a sustainable practice, not just a temporary fix.
