Hi I’m not sure but I hope to help others with my experience.
On January of this year I had a right shoulder pop out of place while exercising (I later found out it’s due to nutritional deficiencies) instant inflammation on my right shoulder, none of the specialist I went to ever diagnose me with winged scapula(still not sure but it pops out)since nobody looked behind my back, they rotated my arm which was fine and would not believe I was in pain. That was with my primary doctor who only prescribed pain meds and ibuprofen.

I went to a chiropractor on February, told him about the same shoulder issue, he only cracked my whole body and left me with pinched nerves on my neck. I lost feeling from one day to the next from the neck down with numb hands, couldn’t pick things up without pain, loss of coordination when walking the later it got, my whole body was inflamed and spasmed constantly on my neck(didn’t realized i had spasms at the time I felt pain) my neck creaked all the time, it also lost muscle tone quickly.Did massages and the inflammation and tense muscle never lessened. Went like this for 5 months taking muscle relaxers and pain meds(had gone back to the dr and he told me I was fine) I got worse and ended up bed ridden in pain.

I went to a physical therapist on March and they did not diagnose me with the pinched nerves or the shoulder problem even when I told them. They said I was hyperextended but none of the physical exercises worked. I stopped taking the pain meds and muscle relaxers and started on eating healthy and drinking herbal teas to manage pain.

On May, on my birthday, my family took me to a Holistic chiropractor who pulled on my neck. I got instant relief on my whole left side went mostly back to normal. My right side felt like it was still not working by 2 more sessions I improved, my right shoulder was the only thing that was not working properly. My shoulder still popped out and my middle finger was always shooting pain to my neck. I also had trouble opening things and lifting things like a phone would feel painful and heavy. I went again and told him if he could help move the shoulder back in place and it’s back halfway in and I can open jar and lift things without pain...it gets heavy so I’m still limited, my neck is constantly tense. He only ever cracked my neck to get it back into position. The shoulder was half moved back in place by natural movement. That was done in Early November.

Then at middle of November I went to get acupuncture they let me know my nerves were shot, haywire(I think from all those months my nerves were pinched the nerves were not able to work properly at sending signals) Nerves take time to heal. I also have trouble absorbing nutrients correctly this was before the pinched nerve problem I know because I had protein deficiencies that only improved once I drank protein powder and the muscle tension would lessen. Acupuncture helped with the neck tension and pain I had with just one session. I would be going back to the acupuncturist.

I hope this helps others so they don’t go through the same mistakes I did. Or figure out what would work sooner than I did.
Physical therapy on pinched nerves do no work but they work after the neck is not pinched anymore. Physical exercise helps the nerves remember how work properly with your body.
I would have gone to do acupuncture sooner because it worked so well on my neck tension(nerves)and pain, and the nerves! they offered other services as well.
Nerves would heal but for me my neck had to be pulled then again readjusted to get the nerves back to functioning. My Holistic dr did wonders when he readjusted my neck and my body would work better at sending signals to my body. A little better every time. Taking multivitamins with antioxidants and nerve brain health will also speed up nerve healing. I took lions Mane mushroom pills they work for nerve healing and also improving memory.
A good acupuncture therapist would listen to u but also the signals that the body sends. My nerves were haywire, she checked my arms and kept telling me to relax( I was relaxing) she checked my tongue for health and new I had to eat more veggies (too much protein she was right) she listened to the fact that my body loses muscle strength and gets too weak once I stop working out or drinking protein powders, because I had come in with a weak muscle tone.

What does it mean if pressing those acupressure points hurt and create a sharp feeling similar to a mild electrical circuit in the arm?
