Case study: left arm pain alleviated by acupuncture

67 year old female came into our office with left arm pain. Left bicep pain started 6-7 months ago after golfing and moving loads of furniture. Patient states golfing and backward flexion cause extreme “sharp, pulling” pain. Pain level is 10/10. Hard time extending the arm. Ice helps, but heat feel good too. Poor sleep quality due to pain.

Ultrasound and Xray was done and showed, no tear. Doctor states buildup of fluid in the long head of bicep.

Patient is doing physical therapy 2 times per week, and was recommended to add Acupuncture into her regimen.

Treatment Plan Summary

Suggested treatment plan was for 8 acupuncture treatments to manage the pain, increase range of motion in arm and prevent reoccurrence of symptoms.

1/6/2020 initial consult + acupuncture. Pain level 10/10

1/10/2020 Left arm pain- 5/10 and range of motion has improved. 50% improvement
