Headaches occur when structures around the brain and cervical spine—blood vessels, muscles, nerves, and connective tissues—become irritated or dysfunctional, or due to chemical imbalances and central sensitization. Common types include tension‑type headaches linked to stress or prolonged neck and shoulder tension; migraines triggered by hormonal fluctuations, certain foods, sensory stimuli, or poor sleep, characterized by unilateral pulsating pain, nausea, light or sound sensitivity, and sometimes preceded by visual auras; and cervicogenic headaches caused by neck joint or muscle dysfunction, often accompanied by neck stiffness radiating toward the head.
Contributing factors include poor posture from extended screen use, eyestrain, dehydration, skipped meals, TMJ dysfunction, and jaw clenching. Patients may feel constant pressing sensations on both sides of the head or throbbing pain on one side, occasionally with dizziness or visual auras.
At Auckland Pain Management Clinic, a multimodal approach is used: acupuncture to modulate neurological pathways and reduce inflammation; manual therapies such as massage and myofascial release to ease tension; cupping and gua sha to improve circulation; physiotherapy for posture correction, neck mobilization, and ergonomic training; and neuromodulation techniques like TENS or electroacupuncture for targeted relief.
At home, patients should maintain an ergonomic workstation with the monitor at eye level, apply warm compresses to the skull base or temples, stretch neck and shoulder muscles regularly, and practice stress‑management techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness. Staying hydrated, resting adequately, and using supportive aids—herbal essential oils, heat packs, neck massagers, and calming teas—can further ease symptoms and help prevent recurrence.
Neck pain arises when the muscles, joints, nerves or intervertebral discs of the cervical spine become irritated, strained or dysfunctional. Common Western causes include muscle overuse or sudden movements, whiplash injuries, herniated discs compressing nerve roots, arthritis or age-related degeneration of cervical joints, and poor posture—especially from prolonged desk or device use (“tech neck”). In Traditional Chinese Medicine, neck pain may reflect Qi and blood stagnation, invasion of wind-cold, or imbalance in the meridians traversing the neck.
Symptoms often manifest as localized stiffness or aching that worsens with movement, pain radiating into the shoulders, arms or upper back, cervicogenic headaches, and neurological signs such as numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms and hands. Patients may also experience reduced range of motion, difficulty turning the head, and muscle spasms or tight bands around the neck and shoulders.
A multidisciplinary approach yields the best outcomes. Physiotherapy focuses on cervical alignment, mobility and strengthening exercises; acupuncture promotes circulation and calms irritated nerves; manual therapies—including myofascial release, trigger-point work and targeted stretching—release tight tissues; and cupping or gua sha techniques enhance blood flow and loosen fascial restrictions. Electroacupuncture or TENS therapy can be particularly effective for nerve-related or radiating pain.
At home, maintaining an ergonomic workstation with the monitor at eye level, applying warm compresses to relax tight muscles, performing daily neck stretches and mobility exercises, and avoiding high or twisted sleeping positions are essential. Keeping the neck warm—shielding it from drafts or cold air—and using supportive tools such as heat wraps, posture correctors, neck massagers or herbal pain-relief patches can further alleviate discomfort and aid in long-term prevention.
Wrist and hand pain often stems from repetitive motions, tendon inflammation, nerve compression or joint degeneration. At Auckland Pain Management Clinic, our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms—whether it’s carpal tunnel numbness, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, or arthritis in the small joints. We combine targeted physiotherapy (hand‑strengthening exercises, ergonomic adjustment and gentle stretching) with acupuncture to boost circulation, soothe inflammation and support nerve repair. Manual joint mobilization and tendon‑release techniques further restore mobility, while specialized scraping therapy along the forearm and wrist helps break down adhesions and relieve tightness.
Complementing in‑clinic care, we’ll guide you through simple at‑home strategies: use ergonomic keyboards and mouse setups, take frequent breaks to rest your hands, and alternate warm compresses for stiffness with cold packs to reduce swelling. Gentle wrist circles and finger stretches encourage flexibility, and wearing a supportive brace at night can ease carpal tunnel symptoms. Herbal or heat patches may offer extra comfort between sessions.
By integrating these evidence‑based therapies, Auckland Pain Management Clinic empowers you to regain strength, reduce pain, and return to your daily activities with confidence and ease.
Shoulder and arm pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is addressed through a comprehensive, integrative model that targets both root causes and symptomatic relief. Pain often stems from rotator cuff overuse or tears, frozen shoulder following trauma, bursitis, cervical nerve compression, poor posture, or repetitive lifting. Patients may experience dull aching or sharp pain in the shoulder, upper arm, or elbow, worsened by overhead movements; accompanying stiffness, weakness, numbness, or tingling; and night‑time discomfort that disrupts sleep.
Our treatment begins with a detailed assessment of joint mobility, muscle balance, and nerve function. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring range of motion, strength, and coordination through guided exercises and posture correction. Acupuncture calms inflammation and rebalances meridian flow, while manual joint mobilization and myofascial release free tight muscles. Cupping and gua sha improve circulation and break down adhesions, and electroacupuncture or TENS provide targeted nerve modulation for chronic or radiating pain.
At home, patients are encouraged to avoid heavy lifting during flare‑ups, alternate ice for inflammation with heat for muscle tension, and perform daily pendulum swings and wall‑crawl exercises to maintain mobility. Proper posture, supportive shoulder braces during activity, and adjunctive tools—such as heat compresses, herbal pain patches, and targeted massagers—help sustain progress between clinic visits, empowering you to regain pain‑free function and move with confidence.
Back and hip pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is addressed through a comprehensive, integrative approach tailored to your unique presentation. These symptoms often stem from lumbar muscle strains, ligament sprains, herniated or degenerative discs, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, sciatica or arthritis—exacerbated by poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting or even cold‑damp invasion in TCM terms. You may feel a dull ache or sharp stabbing in your lower back or hip, morning stiffness, spasms, limited bending or walking ability, and radiating leg pain or numbness.
Our care begins with a detailed assessment of spinal alignment, core stability and gait mechanics. Physiotherapy focuses on core strengthening, postural correction and gait retraining to rebuild supportive muscle balance. Acupuncture targets key trigger points and meridian pathways to calm inflammation and soothe pain. Manual therapies—including deep‑tissue massage, joint mobilization and pelvic balancing—restore mobility, while cupping or gua sha along the lower back and hip lines release fascial restrictions. Electroacupuncture or TENS is used for stubborn, nerve‑related discomfort.
At home, you’ll be guided to alternate heat therapy on your lower back with regular breaks from sitting (standing or walking every 30–60 minutes), perform daily stretches like knee‑to‑chest and cat‑cow, and optimize your sleep posture with knee or leg support pillows. Maintaining a healthy weight, using lumbar support belts, foam rollers or back massagers, and applying herbal patches can further enhance your recovery and help you return to pain‑free movement.
Knee and leg pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is addressed through an integrative, evidence‑based approach that targets both underlying causes and immediate symptoms. These conditions commonly stem from osteoarthritis, ligament or meniscal tears, patellofemoral syndrome (“runner’s knee”), IT‑band tightness, muscle imbalances in the thigh or calf, poor foot biomechanics, and—in Traditional Chinese Medicine—meridian obstructions due to wind‑cold‑damp or deficiencies in liver and kidney energy. Patients typically report aching, sharp or throbbing pain in the knee joint or along the leg, swelling, stiffness after inactivity, clicking or locking sensations, and weakness or instability.
Our care pathway begins with a comprehensive assessment of joint alignment, stability, and movement mechanics. Physiotherapy emphasizes strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves, correcting movement patterns, and retraining gait. Acupuncture reduces inflammation and enhances circulation throughout the leg meridians. Manual therapy—such as kneecap mobilization, soft‑tissue release, and muscle balancing—restores mobility, while cupping or gua sha breaks down fascial adhesions to relieve tightness. Electroacupuncture or TENS therapy provides targeted nerve modulation for persistent or radiating discomfort.
For at‑home management, we recommend alternating ice for acute swelling with heat for chronic stiffness, avoiding deep squats or kneeling during flare‑ups, elevating the leg and performing gentle range‑of‑motion exercises daily. Low‑impact activities like cycling and swimming build strength without overloading joints. Supportive footwear, knee braces, foam rollers and targeted massagers can further aid recovery. Together, these strategies help you regain pain‑free function and return confidently to your active lifestyle.
Ankle and foot pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is treated through a holistic, evidence‑based approach that addresses both acute injuries and chronic dysfunction. Common Western causes include ankle sprains (inversion or eversion), plantar fasciitis with heel pain on first steps, Achilles tendinitis, biomechanical overload from flat feet or overpronation, arthritis, and nerve compression. In TCM terms, pain often reflects Qi and blood stagnation, cold‑damp invasion or kidney deficiency affecting the lower limbs.
Patients typically present with pain, swelling or bruising around the ankle; stiffness, instability or reduced mobility in the foot; morning heel pain; and sensations of numbness, tingling or burning. Difficulty bearing weight, worsened discomfort during activity or improper footwear are common complaints.
Our integrative treatment pathway begins with a thorough biomechanical and postural assessment. Acupuncture stimulates local healing, reduces inflammation and restores range of motion. Manual therapies—including ankle joint mobilization, plantar fascia release and calf muscle work—free tight tissues, while scraping (gua sha) along the calf and arch enhances circulation. Physiotherapy focuses on correcting foot mechanics, strengthening intrinsic stabilizers and retraining proprioception and balance to prevent recurrence.
For at‑home care, we recommend resting and elevating the injured limb to minimize swelling, applying cold packs for acute sprains or warm soaks for chronic stiffness, and wearing supportive footwear with proper arch and heel support. Daily exercises—ankle circles, toe curls and calf stretches—maintain mobility, and using foot rollers, ankle braces, herbal foot soaks or heat patches can further aid recovery. Together, these strategies empower you to regain pain‑free movement and return confidently to your daily activities.
Joint pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is approached through a holistic, evidence‑based framework that addresses both underlying causes and symptomatic relief. Whether stemming from osteoarthritis’s cartilage wear, autoimmune attacks in rheumatoid arthritis, uric acid crystals in gout, repetitive strain, or trauma, patients may experience pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, warmth or redness, and even joint deformity or grinding sensations. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these presentations fall under “Bi Syndrome,” where wind, cold, dampness or heat block Qi and blood, often compounded by liver or kidney deficiencies.
Our treatment pathway begins with a thorough assessment of joint mechanics, alignment and functional support. Physiotherapy focuses on optimizing joint biomechanics through stability exercises, muscle strengthening and movement retraining. Acupuncture restores meridian balance, calms inflammation and alleviates pain, while manual therapy—including joint mobilization and periarticular soft‑tissue release—frees restricted structures. Cupping or gua sha enhances local circulation and eases stiffness, and targeted heat or infrared therapy can soothe chronic cases.
For self‑care between sessions, we recommend applying warm compresses to encourage blood flow, engaging in low‑impact activities like swimming or tai chi to maintain flexibility, and protecting joints from cold, damp conditions. Rest affected joints during flares without complete immobilization, and support them with ergonomic cushions or braces as needed. Maintaining a healthy weight, using warming oils, and employing gentle massagers further reduce joint stress. Together, these integrative strategies empower you to reclaim mobility, diminish pain and enjoy an active, comfortable life.
Abdominal pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is treated through an integrative, patient‑centered approach that addresses both visceral and musculoskeletal contributors. Whether your discomfort stems from digestive disturbances—such as IBS, indigestion, constipation or food intolerances—or from muscular strain, reproductive issues or nerve irritation, we begin with a thorough assessment of your history, posture and abdominal tension patterns. In Traditional Chinese Medicine terms, factors like cold invasion, food stagnation, liver Qi sluggishness, blood stasis or spleen and kidney deficiencies may also be at play.
Symptoms can range from cramping, bloating and sharp twinges in the upper or lower abdomen to nausea, irregular bowel movements, menstrual‑related cramps, and sensations of fullness or emotional irritability. Our treatment plans combine acupuncture to harmonize internal organ function, move Qi and relieve spasms; gentle manual therapy—including targeted abdominal massage, fascial release and breathing exercises—to ease muscle tension and improve visceral mobility; and moxibustion to warm the meridians and disperse cold. Cupping applied to abdominal or back‑shu points further supports organ regulation and circulation. We also provide personalized lifestyle guidance on meal timing, dietary choices, stress‑management techniques and posture correction to optimize digestion and prevent recurrence.
By integrating these evidence‑based and traditional modalities in a safe, supportive environment, we empower you to reduce abdominal pain, restore digestive balance and reclaim comfort in your daily life.
Period pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is addressed through a holistic, evidence‑informed approach that targets both the root causes and symptomatic relief of dysmenorrhea. Commonly driven by uterine muscle contractions and prostaglandin‑mediated inflammation, menstrual cramps can also be aggravated by conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, cold retention in the uterus, or liver and kidney deficiencies in TCM terms. Affected individuals often experience lower abdominal cramping that radiates to the back or thighs, accompanied by nausea, headaches, fatigue, bloating, loose stools or irritability. Heavier bleeding, irregular cycles, cold limbs and poor appetite may signal an underlying deficiency pattern.
Our treatment pathway begins with a detailed assessment of menstrual history, pain intensity and lifestyle factors. Acupuncture is used to regulate Qi and blood flow, alleviate spasms and warm the uterus, while moxibustion provides targeted heat to dispel cold and ease tension. Manual therapies—including gentle abdominal massage and sacral release—improve circulation and relax pelvic muscles. We also offer personalized lifestyle guidance, such as menstrual tracking, nutrition advice to minimize cold or raw foods, and stress‑management techniques.
For at‑home relief, we recommend applying a warm compress or hot‑water bottle to the lower abdomen, sipping warming herbal teas (like ginger, cinnamon or red date), practicing gentle stretching or restorative yoga, and avoiding cold beverages during menstruation. Heat wraps, abdominal patches and menstrual pain balms can further enhance comfort. By integrating these modalities in a supportive, patient‑centered environment, we empower you to reduce period pain, restore balance and maintain daily well‑being throughout your cycle.
Shingles pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is treated with a comprehensive, integrative model that addresses both viral‑induced nerve damage and residual neuralgia. Originating from reactivation of the varicella‑zoster virus, postherpetic neuralgia manifests as burning, stabbing or electric‑shock sensations along a dermatome, often persisting months after the rash clears. Contributing factors include weakened immunity, delayed antiviral therapy, inflammatory nerve injury, and TCM‑recognized patterns of liver fire, damp‑heat and Qi stagnation.
Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your pain distribution, rash history and overall health. Acupuncture alleviates nerve hypersensitivity, clears residual heat and restores meridian flow, while low‑level laser or carefully applied cupping (avoiding open lesions) accelerates nerve repair. Herbal prescriptions target damp‑heat and toxin accumulation, nourish Yin and calm the liver to support immune recovery. Gentle manual techniques relax tense tissues around affected dermatomes and improve local circulation.
At home, patients are advised to keep the area clean, dry and shielded from drafts or friction, wear soft, loose garments to minimize allodynia, and apply warm compresses for temporary relief. Stress‑management practices such as meditation and diaphragmatic breathing can reduce sympathetic overactivity that exacerbates pain. Dietary guidance emphasizes cooling, easily digestible foods and avoidance of spicy, greasy items. Supportive products like nerve‑soothing herbal patches, moxa rolls for gentle heat therapy and soothing balms help maintain comfort between sessions.
By combining evidence‑based Western modalities with targeted TCM strategies, we aim to reduce pain intensity, support nerve regeneration and restore your quality of life following shingles.
Generalized body pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is approached through an integrative, patient‑centered model that addresses both systemic and musculoskeletal contributors. Whether arising from muscle fatigue, chronic inflammation, stress, poor sleep or post‑viral fatigue, patients often report widespread aching, heaviness, stiffness—especially in the morning—and low energy. In Western terms, conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or lingering viral infections may underlie these symptoms; in Traditional Chinese Medicine, they often reflect Qi and blood deficiency, damp‑cold invasion or meridian stagnation.
Our care pathway begins with a thorough evaluation of posture, movement patterns, sleep quality and emotional stressors. Physiotherapy employs gentle therapeutic exercises, targeted stretching, postural correction and electrotherapy to relieve pain, reduce stiffness and restore mobility. Acupuncture promotes systemic circulation, calms the nervous system and diminishes inflammation, while full‑body manual therapies—including deep tissue massage and fascial release—release tension and improve tissue flexibility. Herbal prescriptions tonify Qi and blood, dispel dampness and bolster immunity, and moxibustion delivers warming energy to channels compromised by cold‑damp conditions.
For at‑home management, we encourage maintaining a consistent sleep routine, staying warm in damp climates, and practicing light movement modalities like yoga or tai chi to keep muscles and joints supple. A balanced diet of warm, cooked foods supports energy replenishment, and infrared heating pads can offer whole‑body relief. Supportive tools such as body massagers, warming balms, herbal teas and ergonomic bedding further enhance comfort between sessions, empowering you to reduce widespread pain and reclaim vitality.
Chronic pain at Auckland Pain Management Clinic is managed through a holistic, evidence‑informed approach designed to address persistent discomfort lasting beyond three months. Whether rooted in poorly healed injuries, chronic inflammation or neuropathic conditions such as sciatica or postherpetic neuralgia, these symptoms often endure despite conventional healing. In Traditional Chinese Medicine terms, chronic pain reflects Qi and blood stagnation, organ deficiencies (liver, kidney or spleen), or internal cold‑damp retention blocking meridian flow.
Patients typically present with ongoing dull, sharp, burning or throbbing pain, accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, reduced function and heightened sensitivity in muscles or joints. Emotional factors—anxiety, depression or stress—can further amplify pain perception and hinder recovery.
Our integrative treatment pathway begins with a comprehensive assessment of posture, movement patterns and emotional well‑being. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, flexibility and body awareness through guided exercises and functional retraining. Acupuncture regulates the nervous system, alleviates pain and reestablishes energy flow, while herbal medicine tonifies deficient organs, moves blood and dispels internal obstructions. Manual therapies—including fascial release, soft‑tissue massage and posture correction—free restricted tissues, and moxibustion delivers warming yang energy to cold‑type pain. We also offer mind‑body support, dietary advice and personalized pain‑management planning.
For at‑home care, we recommend maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, practicing relaxation techniques (meditation, tai chi), alternating heat or cold packs according to your pain pattern, and using ergonomic supports or braces as needed. Gentle, regular activity helps prevent deconditioning, and tools such as massage devices, herbal balms and heat patches can provide additional relief between sessions. Together, these strategies empower you to regain function, reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
