Down here in the treasure coast area of Stuart and Port Saint Lucie (this are also includes North Palm Beach County like Hobe Sound and Jupiter), there are a lot reasons why shoulder and neck problems are the biggest reasons for people coming into Treasure Coast Community Acupuncture for treatment. Fr the younger crowd it is because there is a climate that enables year round sports activities so the high school and college populations are more susceptible to injury. The middle age group works hard all week and then tries to switch gears on the weekend causing injuries due to a lack of training and stretching. The retired population has more time on there hands to pursue their leisure activities like gardening, golf, boating and working out, but they have age related decline in synovial joint integrity to deal with.
At Treasure Coast Community Acupuncture our staff of highly trained and experienced acupuncturists regularly meet to conduct case review on our shoulder and neck pain patients. This is not done elsewhere in the area because most other practices are single practitioner. This gives our patients an advantage in that the collaborative efforts of our staff result in state of the art treatment protocols and options for the treatment of shoulder and neck pain. We also can advise you on lifestyle changes and supplement usage for controlling inflammation.
