Common Causes of Neck Pain
Muscle Strain
Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can cause muscle tightness and discomfort.
Poor Posture
Slouching or hunching, especially during prolonged computer use or looking down at mobile devices, places a lot of unnecessary stress on neck muscles.
Herniated Discs
When the cushioning discs between vertebrae bulge or rupture, they can press on nearby nerves, causing pain.
Arthritis
Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis can lead to neck pain because of joint degeneration.
Nerve Compression
Conditions such as spinal stenosis can narrow the spaces within the spine, putting pressure on nerves.
Injuries
Trauma from accidents, like whiplash, can cause sudden neck pain by straining soft tissues.
Stress and Tension
Emotional stress can lead to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders, causing discomfort or even pain.
Sleeping Positions
Using an unsupportive pillow or sleeping in awkward positions can strain neck muscles.
Tech Neck
Extended use of smartphones and tablets can lead to forward head posture, straining neck muscles.
Medical Conditions
Rarely, certain infections or tumors can cause neck pain.

How Does Acupuncture for Neck Pain Work
All treatments include a full intake which includes questions about the chief complaint and also the entire body and all systems. This helps the practitioner decide where to place the tiny, flexible needles used in acupuncture – not always just in the neck, but possibly on other parts of the body too. You might lie on your back, stomach, or in a reclined chair, depending on the needs.
Returns visits are always 60 minutes with needles in for 30 – 45 minutes. After the session, the needles are gently removed. How often you’ll need such treatment depends on how long you’ve had the pain and how your body responds. Some people feel better quickly, while others may need more sessions.

Reviews About Acupuncture for Neck Pain
I. Love. This. Place! I see both Dr. Mimosa for chiropractic and Dr. Madden for acupuncture, and they are two of the best practitioners of *any* type of medicine I've EVER worked with. They listen. They care. They genuinely want to help you feel your best. I can't recommend them and Copper Wellness enough.
Best Chiropractors in the city yall!! Dr.Mimosa is sweet and easy to talk to. Dr. Adam is very easy to talk to as well. Highly recommend!!!
Can't say enough good things about Anais. Very professional, very knowledgably, and just an amazing caring person! You are in the best of hands with her, would highly recommend!
I have been seeing Dr. Madden for acupuncture for almost a year now and I don't know where I'd be without her. She's incredible at what she does and the entire staff is awesome.
Anais is simply the best! Had a great review, consultation of problem areas and left feeling like I was on a cloud! Can't wait to go back, highly recommend the electrode therapy, it was amazing.
Dr Madden is a miracle worker. For over a year I had issues with my feet. She was the 1st to say my calf’s were right! Her acupuncture was spot on and helped right away. The stress caused issues in my neck as well that she helped not only with acupuncture but cupping as well. Her care and compassion is amazing. I will continue on maintenance because she is so amazing. ‼️
Copper Wellness has been a pivotal part of my health journey! The integrative services that are offered are tailored to my needs/situation. Specifically, when I needed to start doing massage therapy for upper and lower back pain, Cameron Sand did a great job from the start making me feel comfortable. Whenever I have a question, they answer it readily and explain how and what they are doing during our session. I’ve seen a huge improvement since working with them and couldn’t recommend them enough!
I sincerely wish that I could give Dr. Stephanie Madden 1 million stars. From the time that I met her for consultation through my entire acupuncture journey with her, she was incredibly attentive, genuine, personable, professional, precise, safe, knowledgeable, skilled, and wise with her work. I saw Dr. Madden for about 1 a little over a year to help resolve physical issues from emotional traumas and sufferings in my life. I cannot stress how different my life is from when I first saw her. She helped me get to core issues in my physical health that other doctors never came close to articulating, let alone being aware. Working those physical issues directly helped me so much with my emotional health. My quality of life now is so much better because of her contributions to my healing journey. After working with Dr. Madden, she is a practitioner that I trust and deeply respect. If anyone ever asks me to recommend an acupuncturist, I would never hesitate to recommend anyone to her. I even recommended her to one of my friends on his journey to receive a heart transplant, and she made a positive impact on his quality of life. He had nothing but positive things to say about her (and now he is thriving with a new heart!). Dr. Stephanie Madden has made a wonderful impact on my life, and I can only imagine the impact she is making on the lives of others whom encounter her. She is someone that has answered her call in life, and is absolutely brilliant at it. Brilliant!
