There is some evidence for the efficacy of acupuncture in chronic neck pain (CNP) treatment, but it remains unclear which acupuncture modes are most effective
Research suggest that trigger point acupuncture therapy may be more effective on chronic neck pain in aged patients than the standard acupuncture therapy(1)
I have to say general acupuncture is not very effective for pain relief,that's why I practice Zak acupuncture(deep and intensive acupuncture)with much better results.
