Shoulder knots + headaches? 😣
That tight “knot” on top of your shoulder may be more than just muscle tension.
When the upper trapezius stays tight (stress + posture + overuse), it can trigger:
✅ neck stiffness
✅ shoulder tightness
✅ pain between the shoulder blades
✅ tension headaches / headaches at the base of the skull
Many people try stretching or massage, but the tightness keeps coming back because the muscle + nervous system stay overactive.
At Orangetown Acupuncture, we help release tension and reduce pain naturally using:
✨ acupuncture
✨ dry needling
✨ electroacupuncture
✨ cupping therapy
