Neck Pain · Shoulder Tension · Trapped Nerves
That tension that just won't leave your neck and shoulders
Most people carry their stress in their neck and shoulders. The tight, aching, sometimes burning feeling that builds through the day — or that's there the moment you wake up. The headaches that start at the base of the skull. The shoulder that's been stiff for so long you've stopped mentioning it.
Neck and shoulder tension is often deeply linked to stress, posture, long hours at a desk, and the general weight of life. Acupuncture works on all of these layers — not just the physical tightness, but the nervous system patterns that keep the muscles locked and braced.
Cupping is often particularly helpful alongside acupuncture for neck and shoulder conditions — releasing tight fascia, improving circulation, and giving the area a chance to truly let go.

"After trying so many different treatments for my lower back and hip pain I decided to try acupuncture and cupping with Shaul and after the 1st 2 sessions I felt immediate relief. Shaul is very patient and listens to one's area of concern. I have recommended my dad and brother to Shaul as well because I believe he does an amazing job. I highly recommend his services, you won't regret it Thank you Shaul"
