This situation must be taken seriously. It is applicable to neck and shoulder muscle strain caused by long-term single sitting posture. If it is not relieved and repaired in time, it can easily progress to cervical spondylosis.

Jianjing is a representative acupuncture point for treating shoulder pain and muscle knots. The stiffer the shoulder muscles, the more intense the feeling of pain. Its location is such that when you lower your head, a piece of bone will protrude from the back of your neck. The Jianjing point is at the midpoint of the line connecting this bone and the end of the shoulder. Middle finger pressure method: place your palm toward your shoulder, and place your thumb or middle finger on the Jianjing point and press gently.

For people who work at a desk for a long time or carry heavy weight on their shoulders for a long time, shoulder pain is a common occurrence. Sometimes it hurts so much that they can't even lift their arms. Some people may have left shoulder pain, while others may have right shoulder pain. If it is cervical spondylosis or degenerative lesions of the cervical spine, it will also cause dizziness and pain, accompanied by numbness and weakness in the limbs, and the problem of wanting to fall asleep but being unable to fall asleep. If you have these symptoms, it is recommended to check whether it is due to cervical bone hyperplasia.
