Neck Pain Relief in Metairie – Big Easy Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Don’t Let Neck Pain Hold You Back

Does your neck feel stiff, sore, or hard to move?

Do you get headaches from neck tension or long hours at a desk?

Many people deal with this every day from posture, stress, or old injuries.

Neck pain makes simple things harder — turning your head, sleeping well, or even enjoying time with family.

Neck pain doesn’t just cause discomfort. It can trigger tension headaches, limit mobility, disturb sleep, and drain your energy. The good news? Acupuncture offers safe, natural relief.

What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain can be caused by a wide range of factors, including wear-and-tear, strains or sprains, or inflammation. A few of the most common culprits include:

• Occupational strain: long hours at a desk, on the road, carrying heavy weight, or doing repetitive tasks
• Bad posture/Seated Lifestyle: hunching forward, long drives, awkward sleep positions
• Injuries, trauma and motor vehicle accidents: whiplash, sports injuries, or accidents.
• Medical conditions: arthritis, herniated discs, jaw issues
• Stress: Stress and anxiety can cause tension in the muscles of your neck, shoulders and back.

How Acupuncture Works for Neck Pain

Acupuncture and TCM is well known to provide a natural, anatomy based, researched, and safe approach to treating neck pain and whiplash.

Research shows that acupuncture not only eases neck pain, but also improves movement and overall quality of life.

From a Western medical view, acupuncture:

• Stimulates nerve pathways of action to release natural painkillers like endorphins and promote nerve signaling to the area
• Improves blood flow and circulation for faster healing
• Reduces inflammation and swelling
• Restore strength and mobility

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine view, acupuncture:

• Clears energy (Qi) blockages that create pain and stiffness
• Restores balance within the body
• Supports whole-body healing and resilience

Both perspectives lead to the same result: less pain, fewer headaches, better sleep, and improved quality of life.
